"I hear that someone has been causing a SAO wide incident" Agil said, looking at Skull in amusement. "Did that really happen?"
"If you are talking about him attracting a stupid number of monsters with his show because so many people showed up, then that did probably happen" Viper said. "How on earth would we have struck so rich otherwise?" She asked, both her and Skull showing of their glowing red inventories. "We got as much as we could, and there is still some stuff just sitting around. Can we sell you some of it so we get money instead of just full inventories?" She asked.
"By all means, I'll take it off your hands" Agil said, "But there's only so much that I can carry to"
"This isn't a discount giveaway" Viper said, scowling. "I still want full price for everything"
"I can't possibly afford to buy that much at one for those rates" Agil said, solemn.
"We can spread out our sales" Viper said, irritated. "Just tell us what you will buy" she asked.
"I'll like to have the things that I hired you to get for a start" He said, accepting the challenge.
"Skull, just give him what he wanted to the letter" Viper said.
"Um, what was that?" He asked, starting to empty his inventory.
"No, no" Viper said, scowling as she had him pick them back up. "Give him ten starfish hearts right now" She ordered, wishing that she could do something better.
"Ok" he agreed, passing the right amount to Agil this time.
"Good" He said, conceding one point to Viper in their game.
"Now give him the viper fangs" Viper said.
"But you have them, not me. I got the skins from those creatures, you were the one who got fangs" Skull complained.
"Alright" Viper said, taking the appropriate fifteen out.
"If you gave me all of them, you would have one whole slot empty" Agil bartered.
Viper counted her options. "You can have the rest of that stack for half price"
"I'll take it for one fourth" Agil counteroffered.
"Fine" Viper said, handing the whole stack to him.
"Now for the dire wolf teeth" Agil said.
"Just give him fifteen" Viper said.
"I ordered twenty" Agil caught out.
Checking her list, Viper found that he was right. "Skull, give him thirty in apology for getting the amount wrong" She directed. Skull scrambled, ending up giving him five extras then that.
"Mou, you are a disaster" Viper complained. "How on earth can I make good deals if you bungle actually getting them?" she asked, irritated.
"Sorry" Skull said. "If I can't do it right, how about you just take them?" He offered.
"There isn't a way to do that in the game, baka" She said, in a very bad temper.
"You don't have to be so mean about it" Skull complained.
"Actually, that isn't true" Agil said, smirking. "If you unlock the moral code on the game and grant another player marriage rights, you suddenly share an inventory that's three times as big"
"Why don't you just do that so that you can stop complaining?" Skull said, ignorant. "That creep on floor twenty told you how to do that anyways"
If she could have, Viper would have turned bright red. "Skull you idiot. Don't you know what being married actually is?" She asked.
"Nothing to far from what you seem to do, not so happy couple" Agil said, amused. "You bicker enough, why not just let your boyfriend upgrade.
"We aren't dating!" Viper exclaimed, stomping her foot. "He is my brother, and you are being gross!"
"I'm not so sure about that" Agil said. "What sister would really care what avatar her brother was using?"
"The one who knows the danger of the internet" Viper said, upset.
"And just why would a brother care what skin the sister was wearing?" Agil added.
"The one that respects her right to have her own opinion" Viper said, screeching. '
"I'm not going to buy it" Agil said, even as he wondered what her motivation was for being so defensive. "Tell me, Skull, do you two ever kiss?" he asked, slyly.
"Do I get a kiss?" Skull asked, turning to Viper. "Mommy and Daddy do it"
Turning between her brother's innocent comment and Agil's wiggling eyebrows, Viper was infuriated. "Skull, you're not helping" She said. "Now he thinks that we kiss each other on the lips and stuff like that"
"What?" Skull said. "You must be confused" He said. "Every mother kisses their child, right?" He asked.
Agil refrained from adding anything, enjoying how ruffled about it Viper was getting whether or not it was true. "Sure, but does anyone kiss you the way that she does your dad?" he asked.
"No" Skull said, shaking his head.
"You might be right then" Agil said. "But you have just wasted a few minutes of my time. Surely I get something for the inconvenience"
"You" Viper said growling. Opening up her inventory, she flung everything from her list and a few pelts at him for good measure. "Come on Skull, we're leaving to go find someone else to sell the stuff to" she said.
"But aren't we supposed to give friends special discounts?" He asked her.
"Then let's see if Lisabeth wants those pelts we got. I'm sick of the insinuations and false accusations" Viper said, marching him out of the door.
"What about the meets that you got?" Agil asked, amused.
"We'll see if Asuna wants then" Viper said, dragging Skull out. "Goodbye" She said, slaming the door.
Looking over the stuff that he had got from the encounter and remembering Viper's flushed face, Agil decided that it had been worthwhile, regardless of how mad at him Viper had gotten. Any time that he wanted Viper to make stupid mistakes in a rage, he just needed to act like she and Skull were a couple and draw the assumption to her attention. Briefly, he wondered if they really were siblings, but then he shook of the idea. If they really were siblings, Skull would have protested. No teenage boy would let such an idea stand.
