*** BlackHat has joined 333.07.333.06 <BlackHat> ^J help <BlackHat> help <BlackHat> J <BlackHat> Official business with Black Hat only. Don't waste my time.
[Well, his visual confirmation will, indeed, confirm that this is, in fact, Jiro. Unfortunately. As it always is in its neutral state, her expression's blank and steely and for once gives little leeway to guess just what she's thinking when she says -]
You know what. I wouldn't be here if you didn't.
[That's that. She's just going to wait patiently until she's let in, otherwise - not moving from the spot whatsoever.]
[Black Hat folds his arms and scowls at Jiro. It would be easy, very easy to just remove this right now. True, he's more fond of her than most, but that's a very low bar with Black Hat, and he wouldn't feel any guilt tearing off her visor. It really is Flug's response that stays his hand.]
As I informed you, he is on vacation.
[He then slams the door close. In a few moments, he'll open it up again to see if she's still standing there.]
[She is, in fact, still standing there. The only change is that her hands are on her hips and she looks a little incredulous, but she's definitely still standing there.]
... You really think I'm gonna believe that. Why can't you just tell me the truth? It's not like I have the power to do anything if it's an answer I don't like.
[Because trust her, it's not that she's ignoring what she doesn't want to hear or something - she'd LOVE to think he's just on vacation. She just knows better at this point. Unfortunately.]
[He stares at her for a long while, eye narrowed. Then, his wings sag ever so slightly.]
You're not leaving.
[Black Hat states it flatly - he wants to attack her and be done with it, but explaining that to Flug, about how he sank their bizarre alliance and hurt something Flug cares for that won't rebound so easily is a daunting prospect. Flug is so securely in his grasp now, never to leave his side, and yet he can't do something to risk it.
He can ask about it, though.]
Is there anything short of me pulling your wires out and tying them in knots that will make you go away?
[For some reason, that threat doesn't seem to affect her at all - it's almost like it doesn't even register. Simulacrum curiosity is definitely a hell of a thing to contend with.]
The only thing that'll make me leave is telling me the truth. I have to know. The way you're talking makes it sound like you did something - so what really happened?
Perhaps I'm irritated by an overly inquisitive machine prying into business that doesn't concern her.
[Black Hat glowers at her. She really isn't leaving, then, is she? Well, he's not about to tell her the truth. But if he proves Flug isn't here....?]
Fine. Fine! Get in here, I'll call Flug down so you can see for yourself!
[He spins on his heel and vanishes in a burst of fire, reappearing in the kitchen with the tarp-covered table and taking a seat. Jiro knows her way around, she can walk in on her own.]
