[Sometime in the evening, after all this happens, there's the Iron Bull's unmistakable voice. Though, instead of how lighthearted it usually is, there's an edge to it.]

Hey! Any of you assholes out there ever wanted to go a few rounds with the Iron Bull?

Now's your chance.

[He'll send a photo of himself standing in the middle of a park in Nonah. There aren't many people around, somehow, in this location, but Bull shouldn't be hard to locate.]

I'm feeling the urge to hit something. Where's the Seeker and her stick when you need her...

Don't you?

You're protesting an awful lot.

[sleight_of_hand]

Of course I don't! And of course I'm protesting!

audio;

[rideme]

Protesting a lot.

audio;

[sleight_of_hand]

Any man would with what you're implying!

[rideme]

Oh, I know more than a few guys who are all right with that kind of thing.

[ There's a gagging sound from the other end, almost like someone came up behind Adachi and started strangling him. ]

I'M NOT GAY!

[rideme]

Shit, now there's protesting too much, and then there's... this.

You've got some issues here, pal.

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh cut me a break! Any straight guy would act like this!

audio;

[rideme]

... The hell kind of guys do you hang out with who act that way?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Implying that he actually hangs out with people... that was kinda funny. ]

Just about anyone?!

audio;

[rideme]

Then they're assholes.

I can name three guys off the top of my head, guys who only sleep with women, who don't give as much of a shit as you do about me saying this crap.

[ Another awkward noise came from the other side. Look, that's just not how things worked; or at least, no one with any sense talked openly about it. ]

B-but...

audio;

[rideme]

But nothing.

No one honestly gives a fuck who you screw around with, so long as everyone's having a good time.

If you do, that's your problem, not mine. Or anyone else's. Now... if I was coming onto you, and I wasn't your type, just say so. No need to get theatrical and scream like you're dying.

[ It's quiet on the other end, before there's a very meek and timid reply: ]

Y-yes sir.

[rideme]

Good. Practice that for a while.
