Really?

[So wait, it had worked? Tiger didn't know about him and Ms Agnes?

Oh, no wait - this was one of those cases where they were both going to pretend Kotetsu didn't know. That way he wouldn't have to say anything to her and she wouldn't get mad (unless Keith felt bad about lying and wound up confessing anyway. Which was a distinct possibility.)]

Oh! Right! No idea, yes!

[He straightens up again and laughs nervously.]

You don't? But Ms- ah... [wow this is hard] 'she' is very dedicated to her work and helping people! She's truly wonderful! And I might say the same thing about you and Barnaby, ah- Kotetsu. I mean, you're not very alike and I thought you liked girls?

[herotvlive]

[Yes. Right. All they have to do is pretend... They're both going to die. At least it's been a good life?]

Okay, point. I guess for me it's more about the person.

[Keith, please do not make him explain 'bisexual.' It's going to give you both a headache.

Oh thank God, there's more beer. Kotetsu takes a deep swig, then tries some of the fries.]

It's just - 'She's' kind of - er - a little scary?

[And quite a few other things, in Kotetsu's opinion. Many of which he's said, possibly around Keith. He absolutely respects Ag - whoever. But it's the kind of respect you have for high-grade explosives, the kind better expressed from far away.]

[efflations]

[Keith can't die! Who will look after John?

He can understand Kotetsu's answer though - who a person is is certainly more important than anything else. It may still seem a little odd but so long as both his friends are happy that's all that matters.]

Yes, she can be!

[Again, he's pretty happy that Ms- that his girlfriend can be terrifying.]

Again, she can be very scary! But she cares about people a lot and works hard and-

[Keith follows suit, taking a few bites and sipping at his lemonade (not as good as the lemonade served at Fire Emblem's club but still good) as he tries to put what he wants to say in words.]

And she doesn't care who's ranked number one.

[He doesn't have to try to be the King of Heroes (or former) for her, there's less pressure, less expectation. It's nice, that's all he can say.]

And of course John likes her!

[This is possible the most important point in her favour.]

[herotvlive]

[Well if JOHN likes her, that settles it, right?!

Kotetsu considers. He knows Keith doesn't MIND losing the King of Heroes title so much that he minds everyone ELSE does. While Ag - WHOEVER - they're talking about demands everyone does their best, she's never harped on anyone for dropping in rank. Only those who she sees as slacking, not doing their jobs. And if ANYONE'S oblivious determined enough to get through to her, it would be Keith. Framed that way... maybe Sky High and WHOEVER make more sense then he thought?

Also, Kotetsu has to admit - Without her, he wouldn't have a job. Or be alive.

He begins puzzling out loud, trying to make sense of it.]

I guess as long as HeroTV is ranked number one, she's okay?

Huh. Well... I mean, you seem REALLY happy - happier then usual, and who knew THAT was possible? And she seems... not less happy?
