Thankappan walked slowly towards his senior. He wanted to delay it as much as possible. However, Taro was watching him from afar, so he simply couldn't weasel his way out of it.
"Hey, Lonappan!" Thankappan greeted in an extremely friendly, almost bubble-gum way.
"Hmm, no." Lonappan replied instantly.
"What?" Thankappan looked by the sudden rejection out of nowhere and wondered what that was.
"No for the question you're about to ask." Lonappan replied.
"But I haven't asked you anything." Thankappan shrugged.
"Yea, you didn't. But you're planning to ask one, aren't you?" Lonappan asked.
"…Yes." Thankappan mumbled.
"Well, no would be the answer for that then." Lonappan replied.
"How can you give out a reply like that when you haven't even heard the damn question, huh?" Thankappan asked.
Whew
