Eighteenth Consensus

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

[The Twins are on the roof, sitting precariously close to the edge, kicking their feet, which are dangling in the air. They appear to be...sulking.]

Why is it them?

We could have done it.

We can do intrigue.

We can do power.

[They sit and glower for a moment before Tweedledum sighs, seeming to deflate.]

But when there's only two instead of three...

Well, it's a bit limiting, isn't it?

And really, it's four and not three.

[Tweedledee nods sagely.]

Some will know better than others--

And not knowing can kill you.

I... I feel some relief at hearing that. [But he'll still worry.]

Just please be careful, girls! ...I shall place my hopes in your continued safety! If you ever need anything from me, I w-will try my absolute best not to fail you!

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

And we shan't fail you, likewise.

We do consider you a good friend, after all.

[moraloutrage]

Y-you do? Ah... thank you so much! I feel so honored to be able to call the two of you friends!

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

Let's get along for as long as we can.

[moraloutrage]

That sentiment earns my wholehearted agreement. I'm sure we will always get along, so we... we may always be friends!

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

We shall look forward to it.

[moraloutrage]

Splendid! Now, do take care, you two!

[twixt_dee_n_dum]

And you as well!
