[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.]
