Oh! Like my niece!

[she will always dunk on her even if she is not even here

But she tilts her head.]

Oh? What were you using it for? I guess you don't seem like a fighter...

[toesies]

[She clicks her tongue, like aw...]

How old is she?

[Assuming... this is a baby they are talking about. It's not gonna be a baby, is it.]

Nope, the only fights I participate in are on the housing market. [Are they, Sheila.] I just wanted to park my ass on my own couches. Because they don't smell faintly of cheese and I'm into that.

[fisherwoman]

Younger than me, but I'm not quite sure... Probably less than 300, though!

[So, Sheila is 100% correct. Endorsi blinks, though.]

The housing market? What's that?

[toesies]

You don't know your niece's age?

[Endorsi?]

You know, real state! Helping people buy and sell properties in a depressed economy. It's kind of what I do for a living.

[fisherwoman]

Huh? I only met her a few weeks ago. Cut me some slack.

[Do not, but also, what. She pauses for a moment.]

I see...

[Her tone makes it clear that she Does Not.]

[toesies]

[She will not because she is immediately distracted by the oddity of the niece.]

Wait, hold on. What's the story behind that?

[fisherwoman]

Oh... She's been in hiding for most of her life, I think. Her mother committed some crimes against our family.

[Unfortunate.]

[toesies]

[She opens her mouth like — oh.

And then she grimaces.]

Jesus Christ, I'm sorry I asked. Are you two, uh... You're alright?

[fisherwoman]

Hm? Well, she’s safe for now. And we’re...

[She has to take a second to decide how to describe their relationship, but she doesn’t sound distressed or upset.]

Both rivals and friends, I guess!

[toesies]

Oh.

[She relaxes a little, looking relieved. Thank god she is not canon familiar.]

Well, I'm happy for you!
