That doesn't even sound like a compliment.

[sengokus]

If I complimented you, you'd just call me sappy again, I'm not falling for this trap!

[enfangs]

[...

he pauses because mineo's not wrong.]

[sengokus]

You were really setting me up to fail....

[enfangs]

I was not!

[sengokus]

Kinda were.

[just saying]

Ah well - anyway, did you do any of that indulging today? Snacks and video games?

[enfangs]

Yeah, pretty much.

[sengokus]

Feel any different?

[how are the POWER LEVELS]

[enfangs]

Nope. Same ol' White.

[sengokus]

Hmm...

Do you have something you want where you'd be able to tell if you were getting closer to it?

[enfangs]

Not really.

[sengokus]

[he just frowns....]

Probably won't share if I ask you what you're here for, huh?

[enfangs]

That's a little personal, dude.

[sengokus]

Yeah, but it was worth a shot.

Even if it's something vague, I guess I'm just curious what we'd all come here for.

[enfangs]

What'd you come here for, then?

[sengokus]

Fine, fine, fair enough...

[he knows that he can't expect honesty from people without offering some of his own]

... there's a series of mysteries that I want to solve. I wasn't making progress on my own... so I was willing to get some help.

[enfangs]

[...]

You some kind of detective?

[sengokus]

Mm...

I work for a investigative agency, I guess....

[enfangs]

You guess? Do you, or do you not?

[sengokus]

Aw, come on, man - it's complicated!

But it's not about what my job is. It's just what I wanna do, for my own reasons and because I wanna help the other people affected if I can. It's important to me.

[enfangs]

[he's quiet for a moment, before he scoffs.]

Well, sorry to disappoint, but my goals aren't as noble as yours. I just want power.

[sengokus]

.... mine's not noble.

[just. softly and briefly before he tilts his head]

For any reason? Or just because?

[enfangs]

Even when you think you're strong enough, you end up in a situation that proves you wrong.

So at the end of the day, you can't do anything if you don't have enough power.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

... I don't think that's any less noble than anybody else's reason - not that we should be using that sort of thing as a measurement anyway.

I hope you get it.

[enfangs]

[admittedly, white's not being entirely honest here... but is anyone, really?]

Well, that's the idea. You should be careful about those well wishes, though—never know when this might end up in a situation where we're pitted against each other.
