[but it's not a sound of frustration, more immeasurably fond? His eye tracks the way Bixing touches his arm, eyebrow going up at the mention of a chip, but the rest of his face turns into a smile.]
If it helps, I don't think Satan's the hardass type. Dedicated to his job, for sure, and in keeping the ratings up so he can implement what he wants later down the line. [a politician type. he thinks bixing could relate to that,] But more importantly, he wants to have fun at his party.
[there's no disdain or suspicion in his voice, lavi is of the opinion that Satan is just a guy, and he likes him too, despite the circumstances.]
He's definitely expecting us to try and sabotage him. But in a 'game on' kind of way? So you've got a chance.
[ listen sometimes when you decide to do something you have already begun an action plan and you are unstoppable in achieving it. this is how lu bixing has lived his entire life, and he returns the smile with one of his own. ]
I got that feeling, too. He's got a reputation to uphold. Don't we all? [ there was a little camaraderie there. he can relate to managing a group of a little bit unruly teens and an entirely unruly... galaxy... hell.... it's real similar. ]
Right now, we'll have to come up with a few ways to make things work - the more plans we all come in with, the better. We have to find a way to prove both that he's not too lenient, and that all of you get to get out of here. But, hey. If there's anything I'm good at, it's negotiating! And with all of our skills, I think we'll be just fine.
[Lavi tilts his head a little, like he's taking the time to think of the picture Bixing is painting. It feels a little strange to see one in broad, optimistic strokes after all this time.]
So first up, winning the contest. You think he'll let you guys tag in?
[he stops, thinks]
Well, not you guys -- since you'll be competing with each other, but maybe us? Call a friend, so that one of us gets your drink for you. The fun part could be that you don't tell us which one it is.
