Filtered to Tamaki
You were a great Host King, my liege. I shall… I shall miss you dearly.

Filtered to Aziraphale
I don’t know what to say. It seems selfish to wish you hadn’t left, but I do.
… Live well, my angelic friend.

What the hell were you talking about? The doctors in the clinic said it was a loss.

Geoff ]

[impetuous]

I won't.

[ He's already trying to bite back a smile. Oh, Geoff, what did you get into? ]

Gwaine

[thetrudger]

I mean it.

[He goes on with a sigh.]

I...confessed my feelings to a woman and she rejected me. I can't woo any of the women here. I'm hopeless.

Geoff ]

[impetuous]

[ He does find this funny. And he is tempted to tease his friend. But Geoffrey is also asking him for help and Gwaine is still reeling from his own problems with women, Or rather, woman, to laugh. ]

Don't say that, mate. Women are a difficult lot. Those here are...a lot more difficult than others.

Gwaine

[thetrudger]

[Yeah, Gwaine B( ]

I'm fed up. Is it me? Am I really that terrible of company?

Geoff ]

[impetuous]

Are you fishing for compliments?

[ ...Okay, so he had to tease Geoffrey once at least. Because Gwaine is the bestest friend ever. ]

Gwaine

[thetrudger]

[There's a smile in his voice.] Yes. I'm waiting.

Geoffrey ]

[impetuous]

Sorry, I am an in-the-moment kind of man. You have to get me in the moment first.

Gwaine

[thetrudger]

Ah, but see... that would require effort on my part.

Geoffrey ]

[impetuous]

Anything worth getting is worth the effort. Or something like that. Come on. Let's hear a little effort.

Gwaine

[thetrudger]

[...Pause...]

Gwaine, you have fantastic hair.

Geoffrey ]

[impetuous]

And the compliment just trips off the sultry sound of your voice.
