[You kissed him, he definitely doesn't think you're lying!]

I know you. You wouldn't lie about something like this. I don't think you can. Not to me, anyway.

[There's no way Archer would lie about loving someone. Especially since he never uses that word.]

[sadisticwarfare]

[His initial thought is to protest, but he's really not sure why he would. He doesn't want to lie to Kimbley about anything, much less about something so important. Still, he's getting defensive as usual.]

Yes, well. It's good you know that.

[viliorate]

[He finally moves to lay a hand on Archer's shoulder. It's awkward, would be awkward even if his hand wasn't covered in fur.]

C'mon now. There's no need to be defensive.

We know each other better than anyone else.

[sadisticwarfare]

[He doesn't mind the touch, obviously.]

Yes, we do. It's just... It's just the way I am, Kimbley. I'm afraid that's not going to change.

[viliorate]

You have no reason to be defensive around me!

[He's not helping, is he?]

[sadisticwarfare]

[NOT AT ALL]

I know that but-- It's still difficult, alright?

[viliorate]

[It's too bad he's telling this to Kimbley who isn't the sort to be incredibly affectionate, even to tease Archer.

Actually, maybe that's a good thing!]

You say that, but we've been a good team so far, haven't we?

[sadisticwarfare]

Of course we have. I'm not arguing that. I'm just... not very good at acknowledging it sometimes, I suppose.

[viliorate]

[It's not like Kimbley's any better at acknowledging it.]

That's what I'm here for. To tell you we're awesome.

[sadisticwarfare]

[He laughs a bit at that.]

I suppose I could use a reminder every once in awhile.

[viliorate]

[It's been a long time since he's heard Archer laugh like that. Kimbley can't help but smirk.]

Guess I'll have to keep reminding you, huh?

[sadisticwarfare]

Yes, I suppose you will.

[It's been a long time since he's felt this happy.]

[viliorate]

[It doesn't exactly show on Kimbley's face, but he's just as happy.]

Guess this means we should start hunting together more often, hm?

[Because it's not Kimbley without him mentioning really unsavory things!]

[sadisticwarfare]

It would probably be for the best.

[That's probably going to get awkward real fast...]

[viliorate]

Might as well, right? Hunting alone is a little boring anyway.

[This will be an utter disaster!]

[sadisticwarfare]

It can be.

[Though he does like hypnotizing humans... It'll be a bit harder to do that with someone else around.]

I do like seeing you in action.

[viliorate]

[Fortunately Kimbley has the ability to paralyze his targets, isn't it? Though he doesn't have a lot of experience with that! Normally he just pounces before he gets the chance.]

I'm pretty great.

[...well at least being turned into a horrible monster hasn't completely killed his ego.]

[sadisticwarfare]

I know you are.

[He doesn't mind boosting Kimbley's ego! Kimbley kind of needs it...]

[viliorate]

[He's so happy right now.]

Good. You'd better.

[sadisticwarfare]

Do you really think I wouldn't?

[viliorate]

Dunno. It's hard to tell with you, you know. You're always so serious.

[sadisticwarfare]

I'd think you'd know better than anyone else, Kimbley. Are you trying to tell me you can't read me? I'm hurt.

[viliorate]

[He grins broadly.]

I'd like to think I know you better than anyone.

[sadisticwarfare]

You do. I don't let many people get close to me.

[Well, it's more like he's a jerk so who would actually want to get close to him?]

[viliorate]

[Someone who is just as much of a jerk, obviously!]

It's not like I let many people close myself, you know. Just you, if you want to know the truth.

[Not even Greed got Kimbley to be so affectionate.]
