Oh, yes I would. How else would I have been able to po.....litely greet that Henry guy?
[Nice save.]
...It's probably not what you think, though. Samson wrote back that it'd make a great conversation piece, anyway. Real art made by a real Hero, or something, and then he drew three winking smiley faces and told me to do my best. And he hasn't written since.
[Samson DuVont has a heart of gold and the brain density to match.]
So I think if you wanted to get those free drinks out of him, you still could, if drinking weren't something you should never do again.

If I'm going to unlock the door anyway, I might as well just do the whole thing.
[Not involving a third person is the most efficient method, so it falls in line with how he does things. His tone is just a half-step away from defensive, though.]
Does that mean I should just crash at Gilgamesh's the next time I feel the urge to indulge, or that you'll groan and grouse but come along all the same?
[It doesn't really answer the question, but it's all she's getting from him. Of course he'd go with her, but if she'd rather stay with Gilgamesh, then he's not about to tell her she shouldn't.]
[She'll believe him, for now. But she haves a small sigh and leans her forehead against his shoulder.]
Sorry if It seemed like I jumped on you, just now. ...as it turns out, you were exactly right about the level of his interest in me, and I don't really... want to let anything slide. Especially now. If I give him an inch on any front, I'm pretty sure he'll take at least a hundred miles.
Of course he will. He's a king. That's all they do.
[There's no ill will in his words; to Robin, this is simply stating a fact.
It's also a good way of dancing around the rest of what Hakuno is saying, because he would really, really not like to talk about this. Even if his feelings weren't a mess, he'd like to avoid as many mental images as he can, just on principle.]
But... Even if it sounds silly, I've made my momentary allowances, and in some ways, I've probably spoiled him, but he's properly acknowledged me as a 'Master' now. So, even from him, I want to properly protect the things important to me. If he tries to bully you, or tell you to stay away from me, tell me.
[He doesn't really expect anything to come of it. Gilgamesh had been annoying and difficult to work with, but nothing he's done so far has had Robin concerned about himself. His attitude toward Hakuno had been a little unsettling, but she seems content with it, if the tattoo is any indication - and if she's fine with it, then Robin will just have to deal with that. What he finds debasing isn't the universal standard, after all, so as much as it weirds him out, it's not really his place to make any more smartass comments about it.]
I don't know him too well, but I don't think he regards me highly enough to "bully" in the first place, so you don't have to worry about that either.
You're not even the first opponent who tried to brutally and swiftly assassinate me that I've come to consider a dear friend. I may have you beat.
[She has him beat soundly. Nobody welcomes in chaotic scoundrels as happily as Hakuno seems to do. ...though she seems to wilt around the edges as she thinks about Julius.]
Of course you've got me beat, there was never any doubt your taste is worse than mine. I'm the worst possible kind of friend to have.
[For all his fondness for her, he'd still kill her with high enough stakes. Admittedly, it requires much higher stakes than it did initially; however, he's still the type of friend willing to kill their own friends for personal benefit.]>/small>
[Vietnam is the only cool person that he knows she knows. And Shinano, but she never came up in the dungeon, so Robin doesn't know they know each other.]

I wouldn't get drunk off one or two drinks, sheesh. I know my limit now.

...you're probably right, but still. If he hassles you, let me know. Even if you're not important to him, you are to me.

[And as always, it feels nice to be told he's important to someone, even if he still has difficulty understanding why.]
Not that mine is any better, considering the only one I've got is the girl who killed me.

[Jinako jumps to mind, but that's a singularly unkind thought to have, so she shelves it.]
My taste is just... broad.
i cant believe you just let me leave broken html in there like that
Broadly awful, maybe.

oh oops
i say that like it isn't my fault for breaking the html in the first place
