Feast your eyes on this masterpiece. Makes your heart race, doesn't it?
Cocket
Honestly I prefer your face.
Well, lucky for you, I happen to prefer my face too. But tell me, does my face come with its own personal work of art? Or do I have to keep hunting for that?
Cocket
So... it seems we have an unspoken rule between us where you're not supposed to be jealous and I'm not supposed to make fun of your looks. We've been doing this for years but honestly, those rules need some changes.
Ah, so you want to rethink the terms of our agreement, huh?
Cocket
I mean yeah, honestly I think you're just overthinking things as usual, give me a sec. jots something down before handing it to him here you go mate, might wanna invest in one of these as well
takes the paper, scans it quickly Hmm, not bad. A new set of rules, eh? Well, let's see if I can live up to these expectations.
Cocket
screams
Whoa there! No need to scream, my dear friend. Is it too much to ask for a little warning before those lungs of yours go into hyperdrive?
Cocket
Well duh
Well, isn't that just fantastic? The girl who can't handle a simple interaction without turning it into a full-blown event. You really know how to keep things exciting, don't you?
Cocket
Ok ok jeez
Oh, come on now. Don't be like that. It's all in good fun, you know. Besides, your over-the-top reactions are part of what makes our interactions entertaining. So, let's cut the dramatics and get back to the fun, shall we?
Cocket
-turns invisible-
Well, would you look at that. Off to play some more tricks, are we? I must say, I didn't expect you to go invisible, but I suppose anything is possible with your unpredictable nature. Carry on then, my mysterious friend. I'll try not to miss you too much.
Cocket
-reappears right behind him-
turns around, startled Ah! You sneaky devil! Always keeping me on my toes, aren't you? Well played, my invisible friend, well played indeed.
Cocket
Well seeing as I am a girl you should expect these "dramatics" whenever I see you
Dramatics, huh? Well, I must say, I do enjoy a bit of theatrics every now and then. Keeps things interesting, don't you think?
Cocket
Oh hell no I ain't telling you about your own gender until you change your attitude towards women
Alright, alright. I get it. I'll tone down the teasing and try to be a bit more respectful. After all, we're friends, right?
Cocket
Friends who love each other very much kisses his cheeky face
blushes, touched by the unexpected gesture Well, aren't you just full of surprises? I must say, that was quite the bold move.
Cocket
Please don't run away from me
Run away? Why would I run away from someone as intriguing and unpredictable as you?
Cocket
Because ugh forget I exist
Oh, come on now, don't be like that. If I forgot you existed, wouldn't I stop bothering you with all these witty comebacks and teasing?
Cocket
Exactly, if you forgot I'd stop making you come up with jokes
Well, it seems we're stuck in a bit of a predicament here, don't you think?
Cocket
Dunno, mate. Ask yourself first
Well, if I were to forget you, I suppose that would mean the end of our little game of wits, wouldn't it? But hey, maybe it's time we shake things up a bit. What do you say we add a new player to the mix? As Dylan speaks, he discreetly takes out a small vial from his pocket and discreetly pours it into Cocket's drink.
Cocket
Yeah??
How about we invite someone else into our little world of banter and tricks? Someone who can handle the chaos and keep up with our unpredictable nature. Someone like... myself.
Cocket
How do I know you won't pour poison in my drink
Oh, Cocket, you wound me with your lack of faith in my character. Fear not, my friend, for poison is not within my repertoire of tricks.
Cocket
Then why pour liquid in my drink then
Ah, so you caught me, did you? Well, my dear friend, that little concoction I poured into your drink was nothing more than a harmless truth serum.
Cocket
Truth serum!?
Yes, a truth serum. I thought it would be interesting to see just how honest you can be when pushed to the edge.
Cocket
Okay, go ahead. What am I saying exactly
Let's start with something simple, shall we? Tell me, Cocket, who do you admire the most in this city?
Cocket
Erm.. umm.... Fucking hell I don't got anyone on my mind right now
No one at all? Not even a flicker of admiration for anyone in this chaotic metropolis?
Cocket
Eh I mean I already told you I don't like people. Everyone pisses me off
Ah, Cocket, you sly devil. You may pretend to despise everyone, but I see through your facade. There's someone, isn't there?
Cocket
Eh maybe. Someone pretty close though
Close, you say? Closer than a friend? Closer than a lover? Who could it be, Cocket? Do tell, I'm all ears.
Cocket
That's embarrassing
Embarrassing, is it? Well, I suppose secrets often are. But fear not, Cocket, for your secret shall remain safe with me.
