[Beat laughs a little at the mention of partner. While Trahearne wasn't wrong about that, the word still held a few different meanings for Beat.
From his time in the Reaper's Game with his sister and the heavy burden that he still held on to from then, to when he teamed up with Neku to beat the Composer. Both of his partners had grown to become important people to him—moreso than before for Rhyme—and he wonders if he thought of Futaba in the same way now. He'd always called her his girlfriend... But partner had a nice ring to it too.
Who would've thought he would ever worry about labels like this? He settles for something familiar in the meantime, a small yet content smile on his face as he douses the flame in his hand and reaches up to scratch the back of his neck.]
My girlfriend? Yeah, me and her are doing good, yo. We jus' been hangin' out, kinda takin' things slow, you know?
[He has to hold back a little. God knows he could keep talking about her all day.]
