super super nervous about new muse

[slylittlefoxrat]

Round two, eh, princess? Think you can win this time? You caved pretty easily last time. I was just getting started. I could go all out but I don't think it will take that much effort.

[But he really didn't like the canon point his mun was thinking of taking him from, so he'll expand a little bit more.]

Think of all the long hours you'll spend looking up quotes for me to say. But it won't be enough, will it? You'll rent the books, read them, memorize them for my sake. To properly 'play' me. How much time will that take? How much effort? Yet you still have other responsibilities. Other people to play at other games. Work. School. Could you really juggle them all at once? You would feel too overwhelmed.

It would be better to never start 'playing' me. I'm not your type. You'll find it difficult to hear my voice.

((It'll just take time to get used to you, you jerk!))

[He chuckles.]

Oh, is that how it is? Okay then, I wish you luck. Hope you can keep up.

((So sarcastic... T_T ))

Everything takes time and practice, you should know that better than anyone else, Nezumi. You shouldn't be so mean.

[Shion sighs shaking his head.]

You've always had a hard time believing in people haven't you?

[slylittlefoxrat]

[Considering the canon point in question, he takes a second to look at Shion, a hand coming up to touch the side of his face. Warm. Good.]

Idiot. [Despite the word, his tone is not insulting.] A whole new world has opened. You have a lot more to learn now.

[He may be new here, but he's seen the kind of things his mun has done, things other muns have done. If Shion was to survive here...

A startled realization jerked his hand away, coming down to his side again. A memory still fresh came to mind, of a Shion who was changing... who was no longer a harmless little prince who cared deeply about all life. All because of him and the situation Shion was pushed into. He looked away for a second, expression hardening.]

You should go back. This is no place for you.

If you think I'm going to leave now that I've found you again, you can forget about it! After all, it's summer now.

[There's a slight flicker of sadness in Shion's eyes... Summer. Summer with Nezumi and his mother and...

As usual Nezumi is pushing him away and blaming himself for what happened.]

Please... don't go where I can't follow.

[His mun doesn't mind a simple summer together, after all.]

[slylittlefoxrat]

[Of course his mun would stubbornly hold out until Shin was here, pleading with him, refusing to go back where it was safer. He couldn't leave Shion at a place like this alone. Rather than talk his mun out of 'playing' him, he would have to just focus on talking her out of being cruel to them.

He knew his mun could be kind. There was evidence for that with a different active 'thread' she had. But he wasn't going to delude himself. He'd seen the kind of physical and emotional torture she put other 'muses' through. With the fact that others were willing to do that with her, it was no surprise he didn't trust Shion's mun either. A 'simple summer' could only be a naive dream.]

You may come to regret your choice. How can you so calmly say you want to stay without ever knowing the horrors that may await? They are capable of much and we're nearly powerless to stop our mun's ideas once they place them in action.
