Gambler; If you answer me now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will bother you.
Gambler; Cold. Gambler; Just because we’ve been assigned to different teams doesn’t mean we can’t continue to collaborate. Gambler; And, here, I thought you might have had some concern for my well-being…
[ he had your ‘gift’ on his person, ratio, so he’s got it here. ]
Dr. Ratio: Don't be so dramatic. Dr. Ratio: You should know better than to surprise me when I'm already in an unfamiliar situation. Dr. Ratio: You have absolutely no sense of subtly.
[ ....... ]
Dr. Ratio: But if it will make you less annoying to work with in the future, we can meet somewhere.
Gambler; We’re both in an unfamiliar situation, Gambler; so I thought you’d find solace and comfort knowing that I’m here too. Gambler; Tell me I’m wrong, doctor.
Dr. Ratio: There appear to be a number of people I've heard of before. You've gone through the provided lists, haven't you? It seems there are several people here from The Xianzhou Luofu. Dr. Ratio: But I suppose I can't deny that you're the only one I find to be at least a moderately acceptable person to work with.
Dr. Ratio: Fine. Dr. Ratio: But I expect you there within five minutes. Don't make me wait.
[ And with that, he'll go out towards the Church. ]
I know… [ he’s still reluctant to drop it, so he instead squeezes ratio that much harder - crowding what little space he has left as he buries his face into the center of his back. ]

Dr. Ratio: What is it that you want? We have separate assignments.

Gambler; A novice?
Gambler; Heh, I thought so 🙃
Gambler; I doubt even you could get there in five minutes, doctor.
[ but it doesn’t matter, because he’s already there. ]
Re: done.
You seem fine. And as you can see, I'm fine.
Are you satisfied?
Re: done.

Re: done.
No, but ensuring we're both somehow unharmed is the first step.
