DEE couldn’t help being disappointed by Chester’s refusal to divulge any details about his involvement with the military.  However, it didn’t press the issue.  DEE wanted to win the bet without any hints or other unfair help.  Partially because it enjoyed the challenge, and partially because it was a vigorously moral being -- but mostly because it didn’t want to give Chester any excuse for wriggling out of the bet they’d made.  Which, it appeared, was exactly what the hacker planned to do.<br/><br/>The hologram narrowed its eyes, staring at Chester with an expression of exaggerated suspicion.  “I’m not sure what I can give you if you win, other than what I’ve already offered.”  DEE didn’t want to get involved in any illegal shenanigans.  Granted, it had bent and twisted the law a few times during its search for Chester’s true name, but that was harmless.  Who knew what the hacker might ask it to do?  Judging by Dumas’s thoughts on the matter, Chester was capable of nearly anything that didn’t involve a loss of life.<br/><br/>“As for kissing Dumas, why wouldn’t you?  You’ve kissed everyone else.”  This, again, was derived from Dumas’s personal opinion of Chester’s amorous activities.  The hologram lost its wary expression as DEE pondered the matter.  Recently, there seemed to be a lot of concern about becoming physical with someone who didn’t necessarily want that.  So maybe Chester just needed a little reassurance?<br/><br/>“I know he’d enjoy kissing you.  He’s wanted to for a long time.”  Indeed, that was why DEE had chosen that particular wager.  It realized that the continuing loneliness was one of the main threats to the existence of its creator/brother/self.  So it hoped the kiss might trigger something more.  Dumas could certainly use a lover.  Or, at the very least, a playmate.  “Honestly, you wouldn’t believe the things that he’s fantasized about doing with you.  There’s one involving handcuffs and whipped cream that I don’t even think is legal in some places…”
