"Good to see ya again." Bado said as he swept the floor. "What can I do for you?"
"Nothing today, I'm just here to chat." Lest said, smiling as he watched Bado stop sweeping and lean against the broom.
"Well, I'm always ready for a break." Bado stated.
Lest bounced on his toes and set his rucksack down. "Good!"
Bado stifled a yawn. "I thought up a new product. It's a sword that makes you instantly stronger, just by using it."
Lest raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. "Oh yeah? And how does that work?"
"Well," Bado started. "First it, uh... Harnesses the strength of your inner core. And then, ya know." He gave a vague wave of his hand.
"No I don't know," Lest said, tilting his head to the side. "Please, do explain."
Bado shot Lest an empty glare and put his hands on his hips, resting the broom against his side. "Then it uses your sassy mouth as a way to refuel it's energy."
Lest snorted and shook his head. "I hope you're not going to try and sell that to some poor soul."
"You have no imagination, Lest. I'm trying to make money here."
"Well if you're trying to make money you could always- Oh, I don't know, work harder." Lest suggested.
"Thinking up new ways of making money is the fun part, Lest." Bado stated before he grabbed the broom and started sweeping the floor again, going back to work.
"By the way..." Lest started. "... I love you!" He chirped.
Bado raised an eyebrow and looked back at him. He halted the sweeping again and watched Lest, who remained standing where he was, smiling away.
"Hmm..." Bado brought a hand up and scratched his beard, regarding Lest curiously. "Well... A long time ago, I did some knight-ish stuff for a while."
"Wait, what?" Lest cocked his head to the side, caught off guard by Bado's response.
"But then one day I realized something. See, its easy to do the stuff you're good at. But it's doing the stuff you think is fun that can really make a person happy."
"What are you talking about?" Lest asked, completely at a loss.
"See, what I find lots of fun is thinking up ways to make money. Not actually MAKING money, see, just thinking up ways to do it. Oh, and making people unhappy is right out. Getting rich off making people unhappy isn't fun at all." Bado nodded his head, scratching his beard.
"Bado..." Lest's voice was quiet, unsure of exactly where this conversation was going.
"So how'd that sound?" Bado asked, inclining his head towards Lest. "I just made that all up."
Lest's eyes widened and mouth hung agape. "What?!"
Bado laughed loudly. "Well, you told some profound lies, so I thought I'd give it a try too."
Lest scoffed and looked at Bado, slightly amazed. "... My profound apologizes for underestimating you, sir..."
Bado just laughed again, shaking his head as he resumed sweeping.
Thanks for the follows/favs/reviews!
These aren't very good and I've changed my style of writing a bit since I wrote these a few months ago. I only quickly read this over so there are probably a lot of mistakes.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy.
(Also! Real talk, how cute is the option of saying I love you to people! Ahh, this game gets me.)
