Your mother? Is she well?

[ Sounds genuinely happy for Hakuren about this!! ]

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

[nodding a little, smiling]

It took some arguing, but yes, she's fine.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... I see. I'm glad to hear it. Um... I know it's probably the last thing you would have done, but... I hope you sent her my greetings as well.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

I did, yes. She was glad to hear that I'd made friends.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

That's not really surprising... but good to hear. Thank you.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Of course.

How about you, though? How are you doing?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

. . . ah.

[ Looks a little uncomfortable :x ]

It's been stressful.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Mmm ... well, since you called, I assume you want to talk about it ... ?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

C-can't I just have wanted to talk to you?!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

That's just one of several topics we could talk about.

... Amethyst has lost another person. And there was a game where Pascal died unnecessarily, because he believes in self-sacrifice.

I don't want to depress you.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

[shakes his head]

I know what it was like. I'm not that easily disheartened.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

N-nonetheless!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

I think you would have to try a lot harder to upset me than you think.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... I know, but it doesn't mean I want to be the bearer of bad new.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

I'd rather know than not.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... well, now you know!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Is there any more?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... Mikage's probably mentioned it to you, right?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Yes, but I want to hear your side of things.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

I don't know where to start!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

The beginning is good.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

That would be the beginning of our friendship in the first place!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Souya's off running around. I have time.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

I don't want to waste the candle talking about it! i just... he just... he started joking about it, and it made me realize that I wouldn't really... and then he kept giving me these memories with all these feelings and kissed the top of my head, how couldn't I respond?! But I know it's selfish, because... because it's not respecting Shuri and I shouldn't have done it, so it doesn't matter!
