Standoff nodded. "You don't want the Dogs to be mad at you. The tunnels are a great subterfuge resource, and for another thing, if you just walked in there to, say, try and get a leg up on the enemy in a battle, it could be seen as an invasion, and then you'd be fighting Diamond Dogs on their own turf. Wouldn't end well for anyone involved. If this deal goes through, which I hope it will, you could have a steady stream of gems to bribe the dogs with." Thinking for a moment, he absently looked out the window. Hey, um...
No.
I didn't even say anything!
You thought it, and the answer is no.
I have information the nice mare might waaaant...
...Fine. Be civil.
My middle name is Gunther. I mean, civil.
I'm regretting this already...
Standoff smacked his lips, opened his mouth, coughed, and started talking again, in a completely different voice. "Hello, I'm Red Alert. You may be vonderink how I am doink zis. Ze answer is, I don't know. Not ze point. Anyvay, I've been monitorink a couple of sings, und did you know zere's been a terror attack in Cloudsdale? Common vord in ze buildink is zat it vas napalm. Don't ask me how ze entire city didn't burn down. Zat's all." Standoff sat back, obviously pleased with himself, then sat forward again, as if gauging Roseluck's reaction.
It's reasons like these I keep you around.
Aww, that's sweet of you.
