“Surreptitious Masterpiece”

[Central Country–Coal Mines]

Akira: (I’m glad the miners liked the food we brought them, at least it helps keep their spirits high when they’re working so hard. Especially Lennox and Shino, they’ve been toiling away without rest in joining the miner’s struggle.)

(That being said, where on Earth is Bradley? I thought he was hanging out with Lennox and the others, but he vanished from the premises…)

Bradley: Gah, I can’t breathe in this…

Akira: There you are…! Good work out there, Bradley. You can take a break if you want—here, I’ve brought refreshments.

Bradley: Wow, how’d you guess the cotton-mouth comin’? Perfect timing as always, Sage. I’ll take you up on that.

Seriously, how can these hunks work in this kinda rat hole? Feels like I’m bein’ cooked alive in here.

Akira: (He’s plucking his shirt from his trousers, tugging on the collar… That’s funny, he could cool himself with a snap of his fingers, yet he still fans himself with his clothes… Heh, we’re not so different after all.)

(Whadda— W-When did he get a six pack!? Woah… It’s really as the rumours say: toned abs do look like chocolate bars…!)

Bradley: …Gonna gawk at me fo’ the rest of the day or you had sum’n else to say?

Akira: O-Oh gosh, I’m so sorry! Believe me, I didn’t mean to stare… It’s just, I didn’t exactly expect you to be so ripped, it’s really impressive! It looks good on you too.

Bradley: Heh, I know, I get that a lot.

Akira: I’m sure! …Wait, no I’m not! Who would even see your build when you’re hiding under three layers of clothes at least…

Bradley: Dunno, you tell me. Point is, the Great Bradley’s six pack ‘s a livin’ masterpiece an’ that’s all you hafta remember. Show more gratitude for the free peek, wouldja?

I’ll charge you for the show next time though: 1 million bucks, give or take.

Akira: One MILLION!? Be serious, that’s too–

Bradley: Got sum’n to say, shrimp? If you dun’ have the eye for appraisal, I can gouge ‘em eyeballs out fo’ ya. Won't be missing 'em too much now, won'tcha?

Akira: I like where my eyes are, thank you! It’s on me, really, your estimate is totally fair!!
