considering cerelia

[unlikelyend]

... If you believe that I would give yourself a 'pat on the back' for considering sending myself into such a troublesome situation, you would be wrong.

[ And that's about the size of it. Blunt and to the point. ]

Aw, c'mon now. Yer might end up even likin' it there, ya know? 'S not the worst place they could be sendin' ya to.

At least it wasn't last time I heard of it.

[unlikelyend]

Perhaps it is not so bad now. However, that could change rapidly.

[ He shouldn't be surprised the other guy wasn't too much of the ye of little faith variety; that seems to be his own thing. ]

[blastheart]

Since when's the great Duke afraid of a little change?

[ Have a mildly mocking smirk to go with that. ]

I mean, Hey. It's me'n Yuri who're stuck in a place that's literally gettin' called City of Change. That Cereal-place's mostly stable. Jus' a tad bit dangerous at times, but that's the case with all of these games anyway. Ya'll be fine.

[unlikelyend]

...

[ And an unimpressed stare at that. ]

Mm. I hardly said anything about myself being unable to do just fine.

[ He considers saying some more or elaborating, but figures that's enough. ]

[blastheart]

Doesn't mean I can't reassure ya further, right?

[unlikelyend]

...You can try to do so if you wish. Although, I do not understand what your aim in that would be.

[blastheart]

What. Yer almost makin' it sound as if I can't do anythin' without some ulterior motives. Really now. My feelings are hurt!

[ Except... Not. ]

[unlikelyend]

Hmm...

[ The fake being offended routine is admittedly a bit amusing to him this time. ]

Are they? I believe you can 'handle' it, as it were.

[blastheart]

Geeez, Duke. An' here I was, thinkin' we were friends an' all.

[ So rude, Duke! Ruuude~ ]

[unlikelyend]

...

[ Rude times are always fun. ]

It almost makes me curious as to whatever else you could be assuming.

[blastheart]

A-assuming?!

[ Rudeness meets theatrics. He's know. You long enough to not expect anything else.

Still. Have some whining. ]

....geeez. Yer as cold as ever.

[unlikelyend]

[ Most of the time of which he doesn't understand the other being so theatrical, but really, he doesn't have anything else better to do.

Although because it's Duke here, and possibly proving Raven's point, he moves his gaze to what he sees before him, lapsing into a silence. ]

...

[blastheart]

[ Pfff... Woah, Duke. That's so like you. But did Raven anything else? Probably not.

He still gives a remotely suffering sigh, shaking his head as he shrugs. ]

Very well.

[ Which really just means that, yes. He's going to be serious now. It's just the both of them anyway. ]

So how're your mun's plans going? We both know you prefer to follow your own agenda, but given your situation there's little you can do but succumb to their will.

[unlikelyend]

[ The change in severity is met with a glance back. ]

They are proceeding well, unfortunately. My mun has concerns, but not enough to be held back.

... It also appears with this place as it is I will wind up meeting a familiar sort of ineptitude.

[ In regards to authority, but he'll deal with it how he's always. Doesn't mean that he likes it, however. ]

Now this is a thread I didn't expect to resurface in my inbox~ ;)

[blastheart]

What sort of concerns do they have?

[ Just focusing on the important part. He's quite familiar with your preferences and expectations by now. ]

Haha, I kinda liked it, so... 'v'

[unlikelyend]

Simple ones. Such as being able to keep myself in character, and trying to not be so slow.

My mun understands the premise well enough to have none pertaining to those, however.

[blastheart]

Well. At least it sounds like they are giving the matter some serious thought. Mine's more the on a whim sorta person.

[unlikelyend]

... Mm. They are, since usually they tend to do most things on a whim, but wanted to be sure they would still be interested in the place considered for me.

[ Normally he'd be fine with the whole 'serious consideration' thing, but... he figures it needn't be said. ]

[blastheart]

And they still are, so that's a good thing!

Just try not to give the kids there too much of a headache.

[ He's joking. Sort of... ]

[unlikelyend]

A good thing for them that is.

... And the other thing depends solely on their own ability to cope with my presence.

[ He... might be getting the half-joke, but he gave what he thought sounded like a serious response. ]

[blastheart]

You are aware that a little optimism would suit you pretty well, right?

Just saying~

[ It's okay, Duke. He's known you for a while now. ]

[unlikelyend]

In some situations that would require putting faith in other people.

[ Probably the only one who has known him for so long who is still around, even. Which does make it easier to talk to him. ]

[blastheart]

And isn't that exactly what you did in the end?

[ Yes, he's calling you out on that. In the end, you helped them. And it was the right thing to do... ]

Wasn't all that terrible, was it?

[unlikelyend]

......

[ Okay, well, he knows that Raven has a point there. A really good one, in fact. ]

Mm. Perhaps.
