[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.

[quercusoptima]

That's a very vague answer.

[floorcandy]

It's the only answer I have right now. There's Teito and one or two other crushes, but I haven't thought about what I want there because I have Shuri. I'm not the best boyfriend, but he's still important to me.

[quercusoptima]

[nods slowly]

... I can't say that I'm not unbiased here, of course. But the first thing I'd say needs to be done is for you to figure that out, whether it's staying faithful to Shuri or letting him know you want to move on.

[floorcandy]

Even if I thought I wanted to, there's no way I could bring myself to break up with Shuri like that. It's something he would deserve to hear face-to-face... I'd be talking to him about this, but "Mother" won't even let me send letters.

[quercusoptima]

... we can't find where her realm is, either, so we haven't been able yet to see if we could even visit.

[floorcandy]

I got a note from her that said "He sends his most courteous regards to those who would inquire as to his well being and his heartfelt assurances that he is diligently attending to his studies."

[quercusoptima]

I don't like how she's not letting us even talk to him ...

[floorcandy]

Even if we still couldn't talk to him, I wouldn't be worrying half as much if he was at least with a different Persona.

[quercusoptima]

I doubt she'll be a good influence on him.

[floorcandy]

Whenever he gets back I'm calling in a favor from Firebird or Kitsune and taking him on vacation.

[quercusoptima]

Kitsune?

[floorcandy]

New Persona! Sometimes she's a pretty fox, sometimes she's a pretty woman.

[quercusoptima]

I can see why you'd like her.

[floorcandy]

We do have a few things in common~

[quercusoptima]

Just a few, I'm sure. Are there a lot of new ones?

[floorcandy]

There's fourteen new ones, including Kitsune! Beauty's Prince showed up too.

[quercusoptima]

--he did?
