[lucrecia]

There are too many options out there for you to consider. Sometimes the obvious choice is most assuredly not the best choice. I should know. You should take my advice and end your search before you have something to be sorry for. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

At the very least shouldn't you find all the...what was it...memory capsules? Instead of counting how many times I apologize?

I'll see them again some day. I just don't fancy it being tomorrow.

Oh! Aren't you cute~!

*No, no sarcasm or anything. The doll ogles her without a shred of shame. Of course, he's just ogling her face. Everything else gets a brief glance.*

Why don't you find somewhere where you can cut loose for awhile with no regrets?

*His mun has him in a certain... panfandom nexus hotel of smut... but to him, it's as good as heaven. All the ladies!*

[lucrecia]

...excuse me?

[That's just too strange of an opening for her, okay?]

There are always regrets. Afterward. During. I have played that game before.

[With all the gentlemen instead of all the ladies.]

[cunningdoll]

*He blinks.*

You're physically attractive to me.

*Don't mind him, what are regrets? He's really less than a decade old in reality sob.*

Is it really that hard to remember your regrets but move forward all the same?

[lucrecia]

I'm in my thirties. I haven't been called "cute" since I was an undergraduate.

[Tough cookie to bite.]

You might ask anyone from my world. We all seem caught up in the same cycle of regretting and stalling.

[cunningdoll]

Mm. Everyone does. Who doesn't from time to time? Some more than most, too.

As for your age, what's your point? Cute is cute.

[lucrecia]

Thank you, but I'm not interested.

[Two men is enough for one plate. She doesn't need to add to the collection.]

Regret is how we learn not to repeat our mistakes.

[cunningdoll]

Ouch, has my reputation preceded me? Ah well.

*He smiles all the same.*

Ah, my manners have eluded me. My name is Haruki. Even if you do not grace me with your name, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss.

[lucrecia]

I assure you I have more than I care to have as far as romances.

[She just dips her head slightly.]

It's doctor, actually. Doctor Lucrecia Crescent.

[cunningdoll]

Romance? I didn't say a word about romance.

*He smiles, though.*

To be frank, my reputation is that of sex.

In any case, Miss Lucrecia - is that alright? 'Doctor' just seems... stiff. But if you insist otherwise, then I'll comply.

[lucrecia]

I have quite enough of that as well. I'm a married woman. You understand.

[Or he'd better, anyway.]

I would prefer Lucrecia. I didn't go to medical school to be called "Miss" anything like a Honeybee call girl.
