"So why're you really doing this, Almasy?" A quick glance at the clock. One-thirty-six. Nida could never tell with the minutes. Minutes were too volatile, they passed too quickly in sleep to be considered.
Seifer grinned, as if he'd suddenly had the thought that Nida had a short attention span and forgotten everything he'd just heard.
"I told you already, hawk. You ask too many damn questions."
"Yeah ... but this Garden. Why? Couldn't you have just told me --"
"No." Finality. Seifer liked finality. Finality was short and absolute, with no questioning, add-ons, or chance for rebuttal. Finality also negated itself in the strangest way possible - because there never was any true end to anything, or any way to know how far into infinity you could go rejecting it.
"You're hiding something."
"No."
"It's a trap."
"No."
Nida had known Seifer since he was fifteen as anything but trustworthy. He was as erratic as the ocean weather, but at the same time more stable then gravity and solid ground when need be. Seifer was one of those people you couldn't describe without contradicting yourself in the same sentence, and he liked it that way.
"Getting revenge by giving me public embarrassment."
"No."
"A twisted plot to make me turn into some kind of depressed hermit crab."
Seifer didn't look like he was paying attention anymore and responded with a sigh and another out-and-out "No." Nida decided to take advantage of Seifer's obvious inattention. "You like girls."
"No."
"Thought so."
"I mean -- what? What the hell, chicken-hawk? You can't just pull complete one-eighties on people like that." Seifer reached to hit Nida with the hilt of Hyperion, who calmly dodged the blow with an uncharacteristically smug look on his face.
"Stop calling me chicken-hawk, Almasy."
"Stop calling me Almasy, chicken-hawk."
"...Fine."
A resolute look. "Good emo kid. Now, how about that milkshake?"

A/N: Nida came off very ... emo ... in the way I wrote him for the first two chapters, so I decided to attempt to lighten things up.
Please let me know if this was a bad idea ... or if it doesn't seem to fit at all, really, because I think it doesn't, and this was supposed to be angsty, but I can't write angst when I'm happy, because, well, yeah. cough REVIEW IF YOU WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER PH00L.
