Hmph. Took you long enough.

Hopefully you've got some plans. I'm gonna get tired of sitting around doing nothing here pretty soon.

HELLO

[avantguard]

[SUDDENLY ASUNA.]

Yahooo~! Liz!

I WARNED YOU.

[pinksmith]

Asuna!

So you got roped into these kinds of games too, huh? I'm not too surprised, but it's good to see you!

HAHAHA

[avantguard]

[Of course it's really good to see her too, hence---]

Eh? Why are you not surprised?

[Probably because being stuck in places they don't wanna be is PRETTY NORMAL for Asuna. First SAO then a stupid bird cage.]

[pinksmith]

Everyone loves you, so it makes sense you'd have one of these mun people already.

You're not getting into too much trouble, are you?

[avantguard]

[Hnnnnn.]

N-Not everyone...

[LIZ PLS.]

Isn't that a line best saved for Kirito-kun?

[pinksmith]

Tch. Fine. Almost everyone.

But Kirito-kun isn't around.[She drags his name out, teasing just a little bit.] Though if he was, I'm sure he'd be causing some kind of big mess. As usual.

[avantguard]

[Why you gotta say it like that]

And then trying to take care of it all on his own. It's not like you're innocent either, Liz. You went along with him to that dangerous mountain.

[pinksmith]

[Because it flusters Asuna, and that amuses her.]

Or trying to take care of someone else's problems for them, too. And he needed a blacksmith for that quest, and I needed the money from making the sword. [...please say he didn't tell you she gave it to him for free.]

[avantguard]

Mn. He does that too. [nodnod

Asuna you do it too]

... I still wish one of you would have told me. I was worried.

[pinksmith]

[And that's why, for the most part, she's content to just stay in her Smith Shop and produce weapons for the front line players and whoever else might need them.]

You shouldn't worry too much. After all, I'm almost as good with a mace as I am with my hammer. But I didn't mean to worry you. Even if it was all your fault, for sending a certain disreputable swordsman to my shop.

[avantguard]

[dslkgdsljgdj]

I-I'm really sorry! Kirito-kun asked if I knew a good blacksmith and I immediately thought of you so... ! I didn't think he would cause trouble with someone he's just met.

[ITS ALL HER FAULT]

You can hit my head with your hammer if you like.

[Bows her head u_u]

[pinksmith]

Well, at least you send him to me for the right reasons. Though you could have been honest and just said best blacksmith.

As for causing me trouble... well, he did ruin my masterpiece. But thanks to him, I was able to create a new one. And I had fun, going out into the dungeon. [She leans closer and flashes what should be a familiar evil grin.] Honestly, I'm surprised you were willing to share him, though...

[avantguard]

[STRAIGHTENS.]

Honestly, Liz.

[Of course she's the best but JUST HIT HER WITH THE HAMMER IT WOULD BE LESS EMBARRASSING]

Isn't it more like I'm not sure if I should share my blacksmith?

[FOR MANY REASONS. The two slept together after all-]

[solokun]

Hahhh, pouting and everything. I'm sure you'll get your way like that, Li~z.

[pinksmith]

Well, some of us like to use a little bit of subtlety instead of barging in and making a mess of everything. You could learn a thing or two from me.

Besides, it got you to lend me that cloak, didn't it?

[Snark is her way of saying It's good to see you, Kirito.]

[solokun]

Mh, actually, I think my inventory was a few pounds over the limit, so it was better to get rid of that cloak.

[Two can play that game.]

[pinksmith]

So careless of you, to neglect inventory management. I guess I lucked out, since you so conveniently needed to lighten you load at that moment.

I'd ask if you've been keeping yourself out of trouble, but we both know that's not possible.

[solokun]

You still asked. Wahhh, maybe Liz should level up her «Self Control» stat.

[pinksmith]

...you're saying that like it's one I've actually worked to build.

[solokun]

M-My mistake. I forgot that mace-wielders rely mostly on crazed smashing attacks. «Self Control» wouldn't help at all.

[pinksmith]

[She really can't argue that point, especially since it's been an effective strategy for her. So she just shrugs instead.] It works well.

I at least hope you've not been causing Asuna any trouble. Though even that's probably asking too much.

[solokun]

Ngh? My friends really have no faith in me.

[pinksmith]

It's not so much that I don't have faith in you, Kirito. More that trouble has a way of following you around like a hungry little puppy dog.

[She grits her teeth at first, then adds...] I... do get worried. About both of you. But don't you dare tell anyone else.

[solokun]

[He blinks. No, no, don't get sentimental. That's hard for an anti-social nerd. It's much easier for him to tease and be teased. The sentiment is nice, so he does give a little smile for a split second before waving his hand.]

Ehhh? What's that? You care about the both of us?

[And this is said very, very loudly in case anybody is listening.]

[pinksmith]

[She's still seen your sentimental side, Kirito. You can deny it all you want, but it's there! Though he's doing a pretty good job of making her forget about it at the moment.]

Hey! HEY! What did I just...

[Liz groans and slaps her forehead.]

We'll just see what happens the next time a certain swordsman needs his equipment repaired.
