[This is a very shy voice you're getting.]

Um, hello? Ah, um, pardon my interloping in your thoughts here but, ummm... I believe we've found the source of that frightful cloudburst we've been having. It appears those ornery blue fiends are causing quite the brouhaha from their literal cooler. They seem a mite bit peeved.

[A beat.]

I, um— I don't have any suggestions, I just— I thought everyone should know.

[Another pause.]

Sooo... that's all.

I think so, yes. I mean, wouldn't you be a little crabby about it?

[sluggard]

Ehhh, depending on when you ask me, it could kinda sound like a vacation to me?

[potentite]

[Okay that is. Actually pretty funny.] Ehe, well, I don't know if I would like the cold, but otherwise it might not be so bad.

[sluggard]

[HA, someone appreciates him!!] See? Told ya. Just get yourself a cloak or something and you're good.

So maybe they just don't like vacations, huh?

[potentite]

They don't seem to! I guess being told to chill out isn't their cup of tea. [He thinks he's so funny.] But it stands to reason that it's what they're so riled up over.

[sluggard]

[Wow, that was terrible. He loves it and he hates it.]

Guess so. Pretty stupid though, don't ya think? Now we gotta, what? Fight them all over again 'cause they're mad?

["Again," he says, as if he actually did anything this last time.]

[potentite]

I'm not sure! That would be a tad bit troublesome considering we won't always be around to engage them in fisticuffs every time they kick up a fuss. The Palai might be taking their first steps towards manning up but, well... that's first steps on a road the Uvi got a good headstart on.

[sluggard]

Huh, true. Guess we won't. Damn, that means they'll probably just get themselves killed then.

No vacations for them either. [Welp.] Too bad.

[potentite]

Well! That's a gloomy outlook. I mean, it's possible, but... if we can think of a better solution in time, then it won't happen?

[sluggard]

As in something besides fighting them ourselves? [Ehhhhh...]

Like... what?

[potentite]

Like... Well! There has to be some way to work out a coexistence? Between the Uvi and the Palai?

[sluggard]

A coexistence.

[That's awfully optimistic!

He hates it.] I dunno a whole lot about the history between them or whatever yet, but how's that gonna work when they're trying to kill the Palai right now? That kinda' angry usually takes time, y'know?
