[kobes]

You're a friend of Maeve's, correct?

[breeding]

[ "Friend of Maeve's" is a pretty good starter, if only because Homelander (incorrectly) assumes that she's been speaking positively about him. ]

why, who're you?

[kobes]

Koby. [It's literally in the name?]

I'm part of the Straw Hat crew. I can't imagine anyone doesn't know who THEY are.

[breeding]

oh, the pirates. you guys really love this game.

how come only two of you actually wear straw hats?

[kobes]

Yeah, it's been a real blast.

There's just the one. The official one. It's a long story, the hat is symbolic and
Anyway, that's not why I reached out.

[breeding]

okay, cheeky.

so, something about maeve?
or something she told you i can do?

[kobes]

It's been a long month.

No. Actually, she told me NOT to talk to you [oh, so he had been listening!] but I remembered you were accused first round. I wanted to follow up.

Which team are you on?

1/2

[breeding]

yeah, fucking october.

i'm on green.

[breeding]

she told you not to talk to me?

[kobes]

Green. I see. Thank you.

She did, yes. Is that a surprise to you?

[breeding]

is that really all you wanted to know? it's not like it's that much of a secret.

well, it's not exactly a compliment, is it?

[kobes]

No, that's not all. How much do you want to win?

You never know. Maybe she thinks you're too cool for me. Maybe she thinks I'd be scandalized by you or something. She didn't go into details.

[breeding]

more than you, i'm guessing, but less than, say, set.

come on, koby. you've met her. she seem like the kinda gal who worries about shit like that?

[kobes]

That's a fairly wide range. I don't think anyone wants to win as much as Set does.

We've spoken once. I don't presume to know her innermost thoughts. All I know is that she doesn't want to talk to animals because of some fish guy you know.

[breeding]

that's fair. a moderate amount, let's say, then.

oh yeah, the deep? he's useless. worse than useless. when you're a kid, you think talking to animals would be great, and then you see it in practice, and boy does it not fulfill that fantasy.

how'd that even come up?

[kobes]

Interesting.

I was asking her whether she'd prefer talking to animals or flying. Seems a logical leap.

[breeding]

i can fly. she can jump pretty far, though.

[kobes]

She mentioned. Thank you for your input, though. I didn't have any questions for you.

[Dismissed??? Brat.]

[breeding]

"don't have any more," not "didn't have any," smart-ass. or do you need me to read your earlier texts back to you?

[kobes]

No, thank you, Mr. Homelander. I can read.
