...No. I agree with you.

[He does. At this point, something has to give.]

Do you have faith in Izou, March 7th?

[bowtography]

Yeah. I do.

[ Firmly. ]

But that doesn't mean I still can't be hurt. Especially when he didn't tell me about it at all.

I just have faith that... if we do talk about it, we can work it out from there. I know he'll hear me out.

[immortalpoet]

[He sighs, hard and heavy.]

...Distract me. Tell me how you two met. You're fond of him.

[bowtography]

[ wow sir keep your heavy hardness for someone else?? ]

... Didn't think you'd ever ask me about something like that, but sure. [ Wow. Is this bonding? Pre-smoothie bonding???? ]

We met during the mission where we had to infiltrate an auction, so LILITH had us pose as a couple when we got paired up. It was a little awkward at first, but we wound up working well together and he told me back then that he wouldn't let anyone lay a finger on me. So I decided we should be friends and spent a long time just trying to get him to accept that.

[immortalpoet]

[Ah, he vaguely remembers that. He definitely remembers doing his damnedest to avoid being made into a couple with anyone/]

He's much sweeter than expected under the surface, huh. Then again, not real subtle...

[bowtography]

He's just kind of prickly until you dig a little deeper, that's all. I like that he's honest in the long run!

[ It's adorable. ]

[immortalpoet]

...

[A pause. Prickly, right...]

You know his occupation, yes?

[bowtography]

Yeah, he told me right off the bat. When he told me he wasn't someone I should be friends with.

[immortalpoet]

And yet you went right past that, huh.

[Not judging, but just a little surprised.]

You're okay with it?

[bowtography]

I didn't go right past it, but I thought before anything, I should try to understand him first. Make a choice from there.

[immortalpoet]

And so far...has he met your expectations?

[As far as her choice, goes.]

[bowtography]

He's surprised me a lot and upset me a lot, but...

... I think we've come out of it stronger.

[immortalpoet]

[It sounds...nice, in a way he thinks he'll never know.]

Stronger? Hrm. In what way?
