[conciliant]

Yes.

[Her answer is given succinctly and with a firm nod to match. The moment she saw him, she knew that it was an old friend.]

Why hide your identity?

[It's not something she can fully grasp—the concept of superheroes and phantoms of justice is one that's completely lost on her. If you are going to help people, she sees no reason to hide oneself behind a mask, and she knows she's missing something here.]

[flapsin]

Of course. I- I knew I could trust you with my identity!

[Or that she could see through him so easily.]

It's an important part of being a superhero. By hiding your original identity and becoming a fantastical one, you can become truly larger-than-life! It helps to protect me from my enemies in my daily life, and it also allows me to become a symbol! One that represents justice... and fear in the hearts of evil!

[conciliant]

[He sure struck fear into those cleaning supplies, that much is sure!

Although 2B isn't sure she quite understands where he's coming from. If he's struck fear into the hearts of evil, then wouldn't he want his enemies to know that he's there? Even in the light of day, he should still be reminding them.

Or at least, that's what she would do if she were a superhero! What a concept.]

Well. I don't think that sponge is coming back. [Which means he has no reason to hide right now, she thinks. Behind her visor, she gives him an obvious once-over] You are alright?

[flapsin]

[He would really be interested in seeing how 2B would tackle the idea of being a superhero! But that might be a topic for another day. He steps back towards 2B... while slipping just a little on the remaining soap trails. But he stays on his feet and tries to stand proud.]

Yes, I'm fine. I have a standard collection of bruises, but nothing to worry about. I guess the good thing about this fight is that now I feel very clean instead of feeling like I have to jump in the shower...

[He glances towards 2B. She doesn't seem hurt, but even so he politely asks back-]

How about you?

[conciliant]

Hm...

[2B checks on herself, looking down to her boots and at her dress, all of it damp and dripping with soapy water. Everything looks to be fine, until...

She reaches up to peel her visor off from over her eyes and from under it, out pours water from around her hair and ears, and she squeezes and shakes the fabric, unceremoniously spraying the both of them some more.]

I'm much better now. Water doesn't affect an android's internal functions, or the functionality of our visors. [Although it may look it.] So, I'm fine.

[Blue eyes move up to meet Drake's.]

... You didn't look very dirty at the start. I don't think a shower was necessary.

[Is that... supposed to be a compliment? idk]

[flapsin]

[Drake watches as she assesses herself. Still doesn't seem to be any signs of any problems, aside from how wet things seem to be. ...He ends up having to hold back a laugh once she removes the visor, because as much as he respects her, that was just downright comical.]

Good, good, I'm glad you're waterproof! This would be a real nightmare if you weren't. [She seems like a very advanced android, 2 B sure. And then he rubs at his head sheepishly and looks down in response to what seemed to be a compliment.]

Oh- thanks! I mean, I usually at least work up a sweat from a fight, but all that soap really took care of it. In any case, I'm glad we're all unharmed and clean! That marks a successful end to this little adventure.

good place to wrap 😎

[conciliant]

[She pauses the conversation to tie the visor over her eyes again, a small, appreciative hum sounding in the back of her throat.]

Yes. I'd call this a success.

[Although a strange one, to be frank. She never, ever wants to fight cleaning supplies again.]

Will you be alright from here?

Yeah! I have the wrapping paper ready

[flapsin]

[He nods along.]

Yes, I should be quite alright! I shall just patrol a bit to make sure that no more evil plagues these fairgrounds. And then, I just might take it easy for a bit.

[He gives a more casual smile, knowing he doesn't have to keep up his disguise.]

In any case, it's been an incredible team-up, 2B. And I know I can trust you with my secret. Unless you need my help with anything, I shall take my leave for now...!

🎁😊

[conciliant]

If you ever need anything, do not hesitate to call me. You still owe me that playdate.

[He's been helpful to her in more ways than one, and he's proven himself to be a worthy comrade in battle, so her trust and respect are given. Perhaps one day, they'll find themselves together on the battlefield again, hopefully against real enemies next time. Until then...]

Please take care.

[And with one last YoRHa salute, 2B allows herself a smile in return before turning sharp on her heel and wandering off.]

🎉🎊

[flapsin]

Right, right! We have to work that out. And the same goes to you, 2B!

[He gives a thumbs up! What are you talking about, those were clearly the realest enemies ever.]

Farewell! [He gives his own salute, and then with a dramatic swish of his cape, he's off...!]
