Don't make it weird.

As a guest.

[The fact that you're even talking to him right now is weird, Duo. Don't tell him not to make it so.]

Why?

[It's obvious you're up to something. Let's just skip the part where you pretend that's not true and get to the point, shall we?]

My other friends are already invited!

Besides, you seem like you could do with some free food. [And friends, but he ain't sayin' that, he knows your type, D33ro.]

["Other friends" implying that D33 is one of your friends. ~~He'll remain in denial forever over the fact that free food does, in fact, make the invitation significantly more appealing.~~]

What exactly will this "cook out" of yours entail?

[Not that he can trust your answers, but this is basically a roundabout way of asking, "What is a cook out?"]

Not mine! I was just invited.

Anyway, it's free food. People. Company- not your thing, I'm sure, but it's good for you.

And it's free.

I take it you probably won't imbibe of the free alcohol, but there's that too.

[Again, the free food is tempting. But after the Swear-In, D33 is not feeling so keen on crowds or accepting food or drink from strangers. The invite - particularly its source - is of great suspicion. And yet, D33 finds himself interested. Could this be another one of Shinigami's tests, perhaps? Perhaps it's pride that provokes D33 to give the following answer - then again, pride and foolishness often go hand in hand.]

I will consider it.

[Anything to learn more about this mysterious (and likely dangerous) man - a keep your friends close and your enemies closer sort of approach. It's difficult to justify. But if there is anything that can drive D33 to act in this world, it is intrigue.]
