"Naw, I know how it is with over-affectionate stalkers. 'least he's humanoid now, right? An' hey, keeps the days from bein' dull." Xigbar grinned as Zelnick bemoaned his fate, far too amused at the interaction between the two of them. It was cute! And so much fun to get to work his way in between it!
...in between the two of them. Yikes, perhaps not the right mental image.
What really did it, though, was how Zelnick responded to the other comment. It was weird, to have someone actually promising not to come after him... granted, Zelnick didn't know all of the bits and pieces, but someone as long-suffering as Captain Zelnick could definitely be fun to play around with. At the least, it'd take Xigbar a heck of a lot to compete against said over-affectionate stalker?
As for the question? That was number four, and Xigbar nodded enthusiastically. Really, it took some effort to not add in 'or with a giant key,' but so it went. "Yep, 'xactly."
Of course, Zelnick is full of cute, so.
