Our avatars are in a room together

You do that.

-SUCESS-

-Roger looks up at her, grinning-

...Nice catch!

Y-yeah! Let's... let's not do that again!

-Noire sets him down carefully-

I don't want to end up accidentally killing you...

I wasn't going to ask. I don't like giving favors, and you don't like getting them.

-Dusts off his pants-

Nah, you don't have to worry about that! I'm tough!

What?

I guess so, huh.

-Noire smiles-

My name is Noire, mister?

If I were to politely ask you to gather information for me, would you?

I have no reason not to.

My name's Roger! I'm a pirate!

-flashes that big ol' smile-

I like you, Noire!

Never seen a pirate before...

I like you too, Roger! A lot of humans here seem super nice!

But you don't have a good reason to.

Do I need one?

I've never seen a real centaur before!

We should be friends!

Yeah... we're pretty rare... Unfortunately.

Of course we can be friends Roger!

You can't act without a reason, whether or not you've been ordered to. Even those who claim to act for a weak motive are really acting for a different, stronger one.

-Goes for a walk-

-To the kitchen-

I don't have a motive. Or need one.

Yeeeeeeah!!

-Is suddenly on Noire's back again-

-POINT-

Alright! Back to the house, together!

You were one of the first people I met when I was summoned here. Why do you think I was asking everyone for a contract?

Chaaaarge!

-Noire stampedes to the house-

Now don't take this as permission for just anyone to ride me!

"-gertruuuud-"

Survival.

Yeah! Anyone else tries to ride you, I'll kick 'em!

Isn't that a motive in itself?
