Oh yeah, I'm aware. But those two do it to the extreme. The extreme of the extreme. I've uh... seen them both at their worst.
[She doesn't keep the tone dark for too long because she appreciates the snuggling too. She leans in and presses her forward against Ange's, letting one arm wrap around her shoulders.]
I'd appreciate it. Glad to know that my super cool girlfriend has my back in situations like this.
[ Look at them, getting all cozy. It makes even heavy topics like this one feel a lot lighter - or maybe it's just that it's very hard to feel worried when she's this close to Ruby, like the other girl is some sort of magic spell. ]
Well, I just know you'd do the same for me. [ If anything, she figures she might have to be worried about keeping Ruby away from the witches if they'd ever show up here.. ] And a bunch of old men don't exactly scare me.
[It was said that Ruby was a spark who could inspire people even in the darkest of times. Maybe it was true. Or maybe she just really liked to cuddle.]
Of course you would. It's one of the many reasons I like you. [She grins and nudges at Ange's arm.] We'll just beat 'em up if they cause any trouble. It's worked in the past, right?
[ She laughs a little. It's a soft sound, but it's definitely a laugh. It's just such a Ruby suggestion to the problem - but that's not to say Ange doesn't like it.
It's just that it's also pretty funny at the same time. ]
I don't think that sounds like too bad of a plan. Surely the two of us can handle an old man when we're working together.
[ Now this scenario is definitely getting amusing. Only Ruby would suggest defeating some people by making them argue with each other - like it's some sort of cartoon.
Ange is totally up for joking around like this though when they're all nicely cuddled up together. ]
Sounds like a plan. What could we say to make them argue? You're the expert.
[She thinks back to all the times Oz and Ironwood had spats. It seemed most of the time they couldn't agree over anything.]
There was a huge deal when we were trying to host a tournament back home. Over who would run security. The both of them kept trying to undermine the other.
[ But she still sounds amused more than annoyed about it. It's such a silly idea, after all, those two not even being able to agree on something so small and basic.. And it's hard to not feel amused more than anything else when Ruby's grin is so nearby, anyway. ]
It was the same for me back home. [ Ange adds, a moment later. It's a little painful to think about, considering they're all dead, but considering the levity of the current topic.. She can bear it. ] My parents and my aunts and uncles all kept arguing over my grandfather's inheritance. It's like adults just can't ever work together and have the hardest thing agreeing on anything at all.

Plus we get along and I bet we can get those two to argue about something and take advantage of the situation.

Oooh~! Good question.
We could say we're going to have a picnic and need someone to organize I'm sure they'll fight over who gets to do that.

[ Ange's quiet for a moment. Because she's surprised, yes. Though it's in the sort of way that easily melts into amusement a moment later. ]
Is that all it'd take? [ Do they argue over that little? Are adults in Remnant all like that?
.. Well, thinking about her own parents and her aunts and uncles.. Yes, maybe all adults everywhere are just like that. ]
They can't even relinquish control over a simple picnic?

I'm pretty sure yes.
