1. I think this goes...here.
  2. Hello, Hilda. I see you're organizing the gear again.
  3. Not such a rare sight anymore, is it?
  4. Sadly for me, no.
  5. Why, sad you lost a fellow lazybones?
  6. Just so.
  7. Wait, really?
  8. Yes, but actually explaining it in detail will take far [cdb]too much effort, so let's just leave it at that.
  9. OK, now I'm extra curious.
  10. I know all about your dirty secret, you know?
  11. About how you actually take charge and work when [cdb]there's no one else to step up? So why do you keep [cdb]playing the "I'm So Lazy" card all the time?
  12. I thought you of all people would understand this, Hilda. After all, are we not peers who work only [cdb]when absolutely necessary?
  13. Even when you push your own work on someone else, [cdb]you do so only after carefully assessing their situation.
  14. I told you, I don't push work on people.
  15. I mean, sure, maybe I maneuver myself so they end [cdb]up asking to help—at which point I leap at the offer— [cdb]but I never actually ask.
  16. But I suppose you're right that I always assess the [cdb]situation first.
  17. Previously, I said you and I would never be able to [cdb]reach common ground...
  18. But now I see that I was mistaken.
  19. You're sure quick to change your mind when it [cdb]suits you.
  20. I merely find it unfortunate seeing you working as [cdb]you are now, when before you only ever did what [cdb]was strictly necessary.
  21. If you've taken up the mantle of doing unnecessary [cdb]work, it leaves me looking like the only idler.
  22. And?
  23. As such, I will offer you my assistance. Let's hurry up [cdb]and finish here so we can rest that much sooner.
  24. Wait, but why?
  25. Just as I told you! It won't do me any good to be the [cdb]only one not working around here.
  26. Still not following.
  27. I've grown terribly tired of talking. Must I explain?
  28. I mean, I'm not gonna force you to explain, but I sure [cdb]wish you would.
  29. Oh, very well—but only because it benefits all [cdb]parties involved.
  30. If you split your work with me, the work becomes [cdb]easier. And by doing this easy work, I can then avoid [cdb]being defamed as a common bedslug.
  31. If the pair of us both work a little more than before, [cdb]things become easier for everyone.
  32. So let's both work hard together! A little.
  33. Um...all right? I mean, I guess that's good.
  34. Although I feel kinda like I'm being tricked somehow, [cdb]so I'm not exaaactly happy about the whole deal.
  35. Yes, yes. Let's just get this done already so I can [cdb]return to a life of ease. I'm already sleep—
