[ Santa leans against the wall in the dressing room and looks at him. ]
I'm sure she told you she wanted to put you up for entrance to our group, right? If she didn't, then surprise, she's putting you up for entrance to our group.
She did not say so explicitly, but I assumed that was what was happening. I was attempting to put myself up for entrance to your group. Though, uh, I don't actually know who all 'your group' is, exactly.
That is more people than I was expecting. You're all together, huh...? But yeah, I should be able to work with all of those people fine. Uh, possibly with an apology to Junpei for shutting him down earlier.
Oh, just, he was trying to ask me to reveal my deepest fears for points or whatever. And I told him if I was going to do that I'd want it to be to someone who I wanted to get the points for hearing them.
Haha, nice. Don't worry about that, I'm sure he gets it. But if you want to make it up to him, maybe track him down again and play a little with him for the points, yeah? It'll benefit you too.
You'll get to know me real well soon, I got a special truth serum which makes me say the whole truth and nothing but the teuth and more besides. My greatest fears are losing the ones I love or them losing me.
Because I wanted to change my prizes. I was really unhappy with them and I wanted them to be better, so I made a deal with Ronald that would be embarrassing for me in exchange for getting better ones.
...right now? Corrin and Niles and whether they'd leave me behind. Which really really sucks. I don't want them to but they probably will. Right? Right.
Wow, really? I only talked to Niles very briefly, but I wouldn't have guessed. Uh, I'm pretty sure being engaged doesn't mean you don't need any other friends, though.
Unless you mean need you for something more, er. Romantic?
[ Santa shifts uncomfortably. ] It was kind of a thing where I had feelings for Corrin and Niles came along with the package. I just don't regret it, that's all.
Uh-huh. You know it's kind of hard to have sympathy for you being like "oh no I'll be left out" when you stuck yourself into something that was already happening and it's been, like, two weeks.
I haven't talked to them about it, obviously, I'm just going by what you've said. To me it seems like you're all being weirdly intense about it. How old are you, even?
Right. I'm not sure I'd call taking more than a few days to decide you want to be with someone that seriously "half-assed," but whatever. I'm not a romantic expert or anything. Dating is... uh, important to you, then?
No, not really. It wasn't important at all. It really isn't still. The game's what's important. Keeping loved ones alive is what's important. Everything else is secondary.
Maybe fully explored is not the right way to put it. No one wants to fully explore their anxieties. Sufficiently explored to feel confident that they aren't going to be relevant most of the time is good enough.

Good to be working with you.

Good to be working with you too.
We have a meeting the morning after every game. You think you can show up to the scifi set then?
