Koehler looks back at Miles, and replies, [color=fff200]"Will you drop the one-man army act? And stop appealing to 'skill'? I don't like those. I don't even see why this 'mock battle' is necessary... Just treat it what it is. But alright... I suppose. I guess you don't have to stop being 'you', but I'm not-not teaming up with Elora, y'know? She's meant to support something I think and if she isn't going to support something then it'll fuck her shit."[/color]

He thinks for a moment and continues. [color=fff200]"...And no I'm not doing a 'one-versus-one' either. I don't like you, but I'm not accepting the possibility of 'accidentally' killing each other more then I need to. Sorry..."[/color], he 'finger-quotes', [color=fff200]"Bruh."[/color].
[color=fff200]"...Well... eh, screw it, actually, meet me after the battle to talk about stuff. I have a proposition, I guess."[/color]

He then realizes how close to Stukov he is and backs off, before continuing back to Elora's side. He talks to her some more, trying to reassure her, [color=fff200]"Hey, are you still doing reasonably okay? I mean, aside of fawning over Stukov over there? You like him, don't you Elora?"[/color]. He manages to make a tiny, tiny smirk even over his 'condition'.

[color=fff200] "Y'know I could set something up for you, somehow. Keheheheheh."[/color]. He then goes to something a bit more important and serious, [color=fff200]"But yeah.. it's probably almost prime-time ain't it? Miles is asking me if he wants to team up and I said 'ahh nuu not just us two bla bla'. So y'know, he might be joining us. I'll make sure he won't be too much of an ass to you, I suppose."[/color]
