I was sipping some tea in the silence and was recording the beat. I finished and said "I'll think some lyrics for that later." She said "That's just his style, every new battle is a song in his mind, so he keeps the movements to a point where the rhythm is smooth." I said "Life is it's own song, but would the person listening rather here melodramatic piano, or soothing Lyre." He said "I prefer harpsichord." I said "A good substitute for piano, though when my brothers and I play, Gold is the one working the turntables, Quain is the bassist, and I'm the main guitarist. We all act as vocals, though depending on what genre we aim for, who does vocals varies." and we got into musical debate. He said "So you think you can play better than me." and I replied "You're on." as Rivera said "Oh dear lords help us now, this is about to go down."

He got his as I said "Time for musical battle. as he strummed something cliche I almost dozed off. I said "Sorry, that was so generic I almost fell asleep. Now, my turn." as I strummed a good one. He lost as I said "King of the strings." and Rivera sat by me. I put my tail around her. She smiled and was squeezing me as I smiled. I asked "Anyone else willing to kill hundreds of grimm for a taco?" and he said "Now that you mention it, I am quite famished." Rivera said "Leave this to him. There's a reason Laila says we never go for take out." as I went to perform culinary magic. I was dicing everything in order of how it was in my head and when I finished, I said "And voila, culinary art." as I served it. Her mother said "Quite a delightful aroma." and we dug in. He asked "So if I'm not wrong, the people you refer to as brothers are the leaders of GTER and QRTT?" as I said "Yup, believe me, we all have good stories on each other." as he seemed intrigued.

I said "My favorite is when Gold was first active. The first thing he did was put on a dress and called it a man skirt. Quain was the one programming him so I just left the room to laugh." as I projected it from my hand. They were busting their guts and I said "After that was fixed, his language system malfunctioned and he was yelling Espana for a week." and everyone was laughing. I said "Ah, good times, good times. Then again, watching him fall in love with the general's most recent robotic model was golden." He said "You mean the robot he calls Crystal." and I said "Yup, it was blatantly obvious from minute one." Rivera said "At the time, his only known extra programming was music so it was unfamiliar to him how to feel romance. The result, his circuit board fried." as we were having some great comedic moments.

After lunch, we left and I said "Nice people." as she said "Not really, I call it suffocating." as I said "Yeah, what do you think my other hand was doing. I swapped your dads shampoo for hair removal." as it climbed back on. I said "Have fun next time talking to the baldy." as she laughed. We were riding back and I said "Feels good to meet new people and prove the better skills you have over them." and she put her arms around me as I kissed her cheek. I said "Heh, looking over the seas, makes me wonder some things. Eh, I'll just write them down." She said "Don't start being existential or multiverse theorem, our team needs it's leader, fearless, witty, and super sweet." I said "Beat me to my own punch, not used to that." She said "It's easy when one knows another as well as we know each other." I said "And this is the point where it becomes a drama, no thank you." as she giggled and the boat docked. I said "Race you back." and she said "You're on." as we started running.
