Quote:"Yaaaaaaaay! You don't hate me anymore! You'll need a nickname then. Vita, Vita... hmmm, it's kind of simplistic, but how about just 'Vi'? Yeah, I like that. Vi."http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5144486/23/Infinity]Infinity, Chapter 22
"Hey! I'm still gonna beat the tar out of you, doofus! I'm just saying that... y'know, you're not as much of a bastard as I thought. So maybe you were telling the truth when you said it was nothing personal, and I really did overreact because it was my master being threatened. Doesn't mean I like you, just that it also won't be 'personal' when I beat you down."
He pouted. "Hmph. Even when you're being nice you're still pretty mean, Vi."
"Do not call me that! We're not friends, you don't get to give me a nickname!"
"But it's cute. It suits you."
"Why is it whenever you talk, to me it just sounds like, 'Please hit me, Vita. Please beat me within an inch of my life.'?"
"Aw, now you're just plain mean again! Really, Vi, you need to learn to lighten up!" Susanoo whined.
"Arrgh! Look, what did I tell you about being all buddy-buddy? We! Are! Not! Friends! A lack of hatred is not the same thing as affection! Stop talking!" Damn, and I thought Takamachi was annoying! At least she only asked instead of just randomly assuming we were suddenly pals!
"No talking at all?"
"Not a word!" Vita snarled.
"Are you sure? I've got one more thing to say and it is very important."
"Grrrrr... fine! What do you have to say that's so important?"
"Well... just thought you'd like to know. I know I said I'd let you lead the way, but in the future you probably shouldn't let people fly behind you like this..."
Vita tensed her grip on Graf Eisen. Crap, I didn't even think about it, but I'm giving him a clear shot at my back! How could I have been so stupid? She'd let his open manner throw her off her guard. She'd thought she'd learned her lesson after the same damn thing had made her underestimate Takamachi far, far too many times, but apparently not. And now if she didn't hurry, she'd be paying for...
"... because well, frankly, considering your armor's design... it's just... well, flying right there... Look, I swear I'm not trying to, but you are sort of directly in front of me and I can totally see up your skirt." Susanoo finished.
