[NOOOOOOO]

Mm. I guess being a master and retainer does complicate things.

[ravenry]

[ ... ]

She does make me feel less...

[ never mind. ]

[riverbeans]

... Regardless of labels, people like those make life more lively, right?

[that is not how he thought she'd finish her sentence, but he'll spare her from a direct callout.]

[ravenry]

[ charles is so nice. this is why everyone wants to be in his harem. ]

I don't know if I can go back to how it was before her.

[riverbeans]

[STOP CALLING IT A HAREM]

... I think that's a good thing, honestly.

[ravenry]

I can't say it is.

[ but she can't disagree either. ]

[riverbeans]

Mm. Connections are a double-edged sword. There's no such thing as a bond that doesn't bring any pain.

But if you look at the other side of that pain, you can find something warm.

[ravenry]

[ stop saying things that are precise and accurate. it's painful. she visually frosts over like the snow in her name. ]

The warmth is what hurts the most.

[riverbeans]

It can be. [...] But that hurt is part of being alive. Even if it's difficult, I hope it's brought your soul even a small measure of joy.

[ravenry]

[ her silence may be answer enough. ]

[riverbeans]

[...]

Regardless of everything, I'm glad to have met you, Shouxue.

[ravenry]

[ STOOOOOP

don't make her want to cry. she covers her face, so no one can see. ]

Too many of you are saying this.

[riverbeans]

[SHOUXUEEEEEEE

he lets out a gentle laugh.]

Haha, you can forget I said anything if it's too much. But I thought it was important to say, nevertheless.

[ravenry]

Fool.

[riverbeans]

Ouch.
