It's the first time in a while we've all trained together, is it not? So let's savor it a bit!
But worry not, even though my class has changed, my abilities are still up to par. That I made sure of.
[ caught off guard, is scooped. much like the football, ]
Ah—! Maître, is this type of transportation truly necessary?! I-I can get around just fine on my own...!
Goodness—?! What's going on?!
/ realizing the consequences of my actions. What do I do with all of these
/ lamenting the fact i can't use any of my ruler sprites anymore because she's a lancer now..... clenching my fist. I have to frickin make them again
[ she looks over to respond, small smile tugging at her lips. ]
< I suppose. But he's so eager, you can't help but want to play along, right? >
Ah. Right, of course.
The way I am?
Unhappy...
[ a pause. ]
I don't... believe so? It isn't as if I had no choice.
[ that's what she continues to tell herself, anyways. ]
[ she blinks, a bit slow to process the information presented to her. she looks down at the box in her hands, and back up at her master.
slowly, a pink hue begins to bloom on her face. ]
ah... ? ah...
M-Maître...! I-I really cannot accept this! I-I appreciate your feelings, but I...!
/ just kidding i remembered wrong
/ please hold
/ *looking out window* I forgot to update my stupid muse list
...? A gift, Maître?
What ever for?
[ she gently takes the box, cradling it as she carefully studies it. ]
It isn't my birthday... nor is it Christmas.
A-Am I forgetting something important...?!
[ she winces as the other grabs at her face. ]
I suppose I haven't been minding my expression since I've returned..!
Ah, it's probably troublesome, isn't it? I don't wish to bring the mood down.
( I suppose this isn't really a holiday I'm able to celebrate... still, it'd feel strange not to do *something*.
... what would I have done, under normal circumstances... ? )
[ staring blankly at the valentines decorations strewn across the cafeteria. ]
... désolé. That was a stupid question.
Mm. I see... that's wonderful. It's wonderful that you're able to have such a favorable relationship with her.
[ she opens her mouth to ask something, but she closes it with a frown, stopping herself. ]
I trust things haven't gotten too out of hand? Ah, though... you're quite capable.
Ah— please, do not trouble yourself over it. I...
...
It's alright. Things happen for a reason, no?
[ she's been practicing her smile in a mirror for the last hour. ]
I've never really tried, to be honest.
Maître.
[ she sighs. ]
I hesitate to have you shoulder the burdens I've placed upon myself. But since you're so persistent, I'll abide by your wishes.
... I was alone. Nobody came back for me, so I was alone. Even when I prayed, I could not help but feel... abandoned. Désolé.
I... suppose there's only one way to find out, no?
I suppose it's presumptuous of me to assume you'd already know. I pray to the Holy Father.
What sort of relationship do you have with your patron? If you don't mind me prying a bit.
Mmh. I'd rather not place the burden on others, as it were. After all, this... all of this was my own doing.
I've no right to complain, either.
/ I don't have drafts on my app yet..... how will my #good #posts marinate now
Very true. It keeps us on our toes, I suppose.
/ I'm sure it's definitely still more eventful on Twitter but I can't take any more brain damage being on there lol I do kind of miss having a fast tl sometimes... but I get distracted SO easily this is better for me anyways
Ah! A screen, yes? A game on a screen...
....
Though it feels like such a vague concept. How can be doing anything alone in a dark room be considered fun? To move your body and feel the sun... why would you forsake such a blessing?
Hmm...? What was I...
...nothing particularly important. I was just taking note of what to pray for tonight.
