Uniting in snark would be the best thing for their relationship. If they're fighting someone else, they aren't fighting each other. And plus, they can tell people who they are and people will think they are LARPing. It would be best if the people doing things wrong are pretending to be French because FUCK THE FRENCH AMIRITE YESSSS
I will post a personal post for John to renew relations and so that Richard can invite him along :D
