Hiya.

[quercusoptima]

Is everything all right?

[floorcandy]

I'm not sure.

[quercusoptima]

What do you mean?

[floorcandy]

There's not a tactful way of saying this, is there...

Teito kissed me.

[quercusoptima]

...




He what?

[floorcandy]

I showed him some of my memories and he kissed me.

[quercusoptima]

...

I didn't think he was that sort ... what memory was it?

[floorcandy]

It was four memories... the first time I met him where he punched me, a time when I was friendly but he told me to go away, that time he punched Shuri for my honor, and a memory of him talking to Bishop Labrador about my death.

[quercusoptima]

[considering ...]

Maybe he was just overwhelmed.

[floorcandy]

There was a memory a little before those ones, too. That one made him cry.

[quercusoptima]

... even with what little he told me before, I imagine there's a lot.

[floorcandy]

They were big memories.

And uh... I did kiss him back.

[quercusoptima]

Ah ... did you ...

[floorcandy]

Lightly.

[quercusoptima]

I see ...

[pinching the bridge of his nose]

[quercusoptima]

[sighs]

I think, then, this is the big question -- what do you want now?

[floorcandy]

I want Teito to stop beating himself up over what happened.

[quercusoptima]

Is he ... ?

[floorcandy]

He feels selfish, guilty, and hypocritical.

[quercusoptima]

And all before dinnertime.

[floorcandy]

A very productive day for Teito Klein.

[quercusoptima]

[wryly] Where does he find the time.

But I don't mean about what you want for him, Mikage. What do you want for yourself?

[floorcandy]

I want to be able to hold the people I love.
