Oh man, she’s right there! On her computer.

And she’s still looking at SPECTRA files!

OK, that’s good! She wants to know more; she’ll listen to us.

I’m like a chameleon…

Mister Chai, are you listening?

Waiting to strike…

Now, this is important…

All you need is to subtly–

What the–!?

(Muffled) This isn’t what it looks like!

This isn’t what it looks like!

Enough!

So what does it look like?

Uhh… that I just want to talk?

I think all my defenses did my talking for me.

All I heard was a lot of ”meh”

Mister Chai, ​do not escalate!

You are such an idiot!

Oh, this is bad…

I take pride in my work. You’re not slipping away this time.

Ehhhhh… Hrm…

Guys… Pretty sure she wants to kill me.

Try to talk her down!

We saw you spying those SPECTR files, so you know I wasn’t lying!

Assessing the problem is my job. I don’t need you to tell me.

Well, apparently I do, since you aren’t getting it!

Don’t belittle me!

Chai, don’t attack her! Protect yourself!

Gahh!

Just chill, Korsica!

You broke into my office! You destroyed my security!

To peacefully resolve this.

Wow. Do you even listen to what you say?

So, let’s put down the stick…

Not a chance.

Peppermint, you plan blows.

Hey!

But I got a better idea! Let’s get her really mad.

Keep the attacks coming and wear her down… Chai, you’re a genius!

Whoa, now. Let’s calm down there.

Stop chatting! Put your guitar where your mouth is!

Argh!

You think you can strong-arm ME?

Hey, YOU chose to fight–

Wait, you like puns too!?

What? No! W-Whatever… Let’s see how you handle this!

What the–?

Caught you off-guard.

OK, scratch Parrying everything.

Yeah, that didn’t work. Plus, she’s totally lying about hating puns.

Just get out of the way! But don’t give up.

I felt a breeze just now. Was that you?

I’ll make sure you stay down this time!

Way to go, Chai!

I can rock this beat all day. You look like you’re sweating

Impressive. Mister Chai really is good at aggravating others!

This was known, CNMN

How about this?

You’re doing great!

Is that a floating cat? Ugh, nothing about you even makes sense!

Admit it: You’re enjoying this.

You cocky LOSER!

I worked hard for this job! I won’t just give it up.

What are you doing this for? Kale?

What does it matter?

He doesn’t care about you! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept you in the dark.

You don’t know that.

I KNOW you’re not like the others, Korsica! You can feel something’s wrong!

Chai, you are… surprisingly convincing.

De-escalating… I think we may have a chance–

Or are you just too OBLIVIOUS to figure that out!?

Ohhh, COME ON!

That’s it! Now I’m mad!

In your own words: You really blew it, Mister Chai.

Wait, what does “oblivious” mean?

Enough distractions. Fight’s over here, Chai!

Grrr!

Keep it up, little guy!

It’s getting late. I’m supposed to be back at the hideout by dinnertime.

You… are so… annoying!

(Sucks air through teeth)

Chai!

Sorry…
