266 Vol. 4 pt. 69 Patch 12.0 (1/2)
The next day, while all of the girls are offline, Fenrir and Rao head up to the city in-game to visit a certain version of Tabitha: the male version.
”Bro, aren't we basically having our own guys' night right now? But like, in the day? Guys' day?” Rao asks.
”I'd say it's more like a guys' noon,” Fenrir answers.
”Same thing.”
”Then where's the moon at? How come it's so light outside?”
”Don't be a smartass.”
”Don't be a redhead who thinks that noon is the same as night.”
”Bro, I wasn't talking about the time of day being the same. I just meant, like, is there a difference between a guys' night and a guys' noon?”
”Sure there is. For example, one is darker outside, the other is lighter outside.”
”Bro.”
Fenrir gives the back of Rao's nearest arm a friendly smack before saying, ”Guys' noons are for lunches and… boring stuff. Guys' nights are for drinking, having fun, and being stupid.”
”Aight, that makes more sense,” Rao says after smacking Fenrir back. ”So, this boy you were talking about. He's like some sort of engineer-type like the shortie?”
”Yeah, think Tabitha but with a dick.”
”I don't want to think of the shortie with a dick. But, at least a guy should be easier to deal with and more chill.”
Tabitha, in real life, sneezes.
”This is why you're single,” Fenrir says.
”Why?” Rao asks.
”Well… I mean, in your defense, I haven't seen you talk like that around any of the girls. At least, not recently.”
”Yeah, isn't it fine as long as it's just between us bros?”
”I don't know about fine, but it's better.”
”It's not like they probably don't talk about us behind our backs,” Rao says and shrugs, continuing forward.
Then he turns around and notices that Fenrir is falling behind.
”Bro?” Rao asks.
”I… can't believe I never thought of that before,” Fenrir says.
”Thought of what?”
”The girls talking about us. What do my girlfriends say to each other about me?”
”If you want to change plans, we can spy on them and find out what they're saying! Then we'll know if it's okay to talk about them behind their backs. It's okay to do it if they do it.”
”In this case, wouldn't it be alright for them to do it since you do it?”
”You ask too many questions, bro.”
”We're not spying on them. I'm just… curious now what sort of things they talk about when I'm not around. I was just sort of assuming that they probably talk about the same things as usual, but without me. Now, I'm thinking that maybe they do talk about other things. Girls like to gossip and talk about things when they're by themselves, right?”
”Exactly! That's why we should spy on them.”
”Even if I did try spying on them, you wouldn't be invited.”
”Bro, why?”
”Because you're you and they're my girlfriends.”
”Yeah, that's fair. So, you gonna do it?”
”No.”
”Whatever. Where's this place we're going to?”
Fenrir lifts a hand to point at the shop now that it's within sight.
”What's his name?” Rao asks.
”Uh… we never asked,” Fenrir answers.
”Seriously? You don't even know the dude's name who we're going to?”
