[He'd gone off to clean his rifle in the pause. And then, once the phone started going crazy, just... keeps cleaning it.]

[Waiting.]

[Waiting...]

[Wow he's really losing his mind over this, isn't he.]

[As payback, because Garrus Vakarian is a jackass like this, he waits enough 30 minutes before responding. Have fun with that, bestie.]

Are you done? I've got another gun to clean if you have more kinks to work out. I mean, the restraints bit I got but... 'being bad'?

Damn.

[He's saving all of these for posterity. By the way.]

[Darin was losing his mind thanks. Maybe if he hit the water sprinting he can move fast enough to run to the other side of the world.]

[When Garrus finally responds he dives for his phone.]

SHUT UP!!!

Starting to think Dromas was onto something and that violence might be the answer!!

[thearchangel]

[This is so funny. This is hilarious. Oh no.]

I haven't said a word. I've just typed. This whole time.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN DAMMIT

SERIOUSLY WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK I EVEN LIKE HER THAT WAY??

[thearchangel]

Do I?

I don't know. The capslock, probably.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Whats a capslock I don't know as much about guns as you do

[thearchangel]

It's WHEN YOU MAKE THE LETTERS BIG LIKE THIS, DARIN.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

No thats yelling why are you yelling at me now?

[thearchangel]

No.

That's typing in all caps. Caps as in capitals.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

What were we talking about again?

[thearchangel]

Your crush on the good doctor Zelda.

[She's a researcher, so naturally, she's probably got a doctorate or something.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I don't have a crush on her, Garrus. Gods can't a man and a woman be close?

Besides, we're not even from the same world. Even if I did feel something, nothing could come of it.

[thearchangel]

Sure, sure. Whatever you say.

... you know you're currently in the SAME world. Right?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Your point? Staying here isn't a guarantee.

[thearchangel]

Neither is living to a ripe old age back in our worlds, either.

If you like her, deep down under... whatever else is going on, don't waste a chance. Wait too long and next thing you know the world's falling down around your ears and it's too late.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Darin sighs. It'd be a lot easier if Darin could tell Garrus that Zelda was a princess. But he's sworn himself to secrecy and Darin takes promises seriously.]

She's important to me, alright? And part of that means I'll do anything to make sure she can get back home. That this Ganondorf guy doesn't hurt her more than he has already.

That's my role. And I'm fine with that. She needs a shield and I'm damn good at making them.

[thearchangel]

Just

Keep what I said in mind. All right? Don't waste opportunities.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I'm not. I promise.

[thearchangel]

all right



Anyway.

Good talk.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[There's a few minutes before Darin texts back.]

Thank you.

For looking out for me.

Truth be told I've never had a friend before I got here.

I appreciate the perspective.

[thearchangel]

[This talk has gone places...]

What's the point in being a grizzled ex vigilante if you can't dispense wisdom at the drop of a hat?

[That means "you're welcome".]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Generous use of the word 'wisdom' but I guess I'll give it to you.

[thearchangel]

Yeah, yeah, save the trash talk for the field.
