People who speak French.

"I love you" is "je t'aime", right?

[Action]
[Ryuunosuke is everywhere today, almost literally. Besides at the bakery where he's ordering himself a cake or at his room where he's enjoying said cake, he can be found at the park, taking in the winter air; at the shore, relaxing; at the bar, grabbing himself a drink; at the art gallery, looking totally out of place; pretty much anywhere you'd either want to find him or hoped to avoid him.

And anywhere he finds someone he recognizes he'll definitely bother them.]

Then I'll be sad.

[croibhristeoir]

[Sigh.]

Happy birthday.

[kindofademon]

Thank you! I've always wanted to celebrate it with friends.

[croibhristeoir]

You do realize we aren't friends, yes?

[kindofademon]

We're not?

[croibhristeoir]

Not as such, no.

[kindofademon]

Awwwwww. I totally thought we were.

[croibhristeoir]

Not exactly.

[kindofademon]

We could be.

[croibhristeoir]

I would much rather not.

[kindofademon]

Why not, though?

[croibhristeoir]

Let me explain this to you very slowly, Ryuunosuke.

You are a murderer. You kill innocent and harmless people for no better reason than the fact that you can. Though you persist with this cheerful disposition, the fact remains that you have committed reprehensible acts even I can not forgive.

I am a knight. I protect innocent and harmless people from those who would seek to hurt them--referring to my previous point, that would in this case be you. The two of us are simply enemies by nature, and I am not the one that needs to change for that to stop.

[kindofademon]

But, it's not like I'm murdering right this very second. Why can't we get along?

[croibhristeoir]

Because you see absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that you can and will do so again.

[kindofademon]

Well, yeah.

[croibhristeoir]

... [FACEPALM.]

[kindofademon]

Come on, it's my birthday, indulge me a little.

[croibhristeoir]

If I do, will you leave me alone?

[kindofademon]

Wouldn't that kind of be the opposite of indulging me?

[croibhristeoir]

That depends on when and for how long you cease in irritating me.

[kindofademon]

I'll trade you an unspecified cease in irritation for... hm... what do I want?

[croibhristeoir]

[Must...remember...patience...]

[kindofademon]

I'll trade you two days for a hug.

[croibhristeoir]

Not a chance.

[kindofademon]

Three?
