Sorry you get to be... An Imp With Burn Damage who is Short??

alternatively: Urianger or Malik

Malik and Maria put their heads together to play the mother of all tricks on Altair

oh 100000%

depending on the timeline... they just have to make eye contact and Nod before engaging in it.

(I will die on Malik and Maria are Bros hill)

>D

oh god yes

like at first he was probably a bit "HISSSSSSSSSSSSS" but that's... that's him at LITERALLY ANYONE

that would not have bothered her bc she's used to that wherever she goes

and he'd at least be like... upfront with his Distrust because well... Altair Likes And Trust You Ma'am, And I Trust Him.

Altair knows something is Off but the two of them reassuring him in tandem means he takes the bait

if they can't successfully trick him literally no one can

yup

Malik is probably not great at her accent but can get by enough to confuse their idiot

They're doing enough things that he knows they're Trusted and Them, but something just doesn't feel quite right......

Oh for sure.

also guess who's Fucking Awake Now

i imagine the thing that eventually gives it away is deffos.... Malik pronouces something Not Maria-Accent, or Maria just... tries to do something left handed on Instinct.

This tracks

it could take.... at least Hours if not Days.

HA definitely the left hand
