homeless forever

[neverlethergo]

Ehe... Isn't this so much better? I'm free... Not sure where Yukiko is right now but I'll find her soon enough. Make sure she doesn't go out of my sight again. Who does she think she is?

Anyway--I'm not surprised I showed up again. Can't keep me down forever, can you? This is just the beginning, ha.

...Chie? What do you mean, make sure I don't go out of your sight? What are you talking about?

[neverlethergo]

Heh... Hey, Yukiko. I'm just worried about you. I'm your friend, right? That's what they do.

[fans_fire]

Worried about me? Why?

[neverlethergo]

Because you're so scatterbrained, you might just walk off. Find some new friends. Can't have that, can I? Right, Yukiko?

[fans_fire]

...What? Chie...did I do something to make you think I was forgetting you?

[neverlethergo]

No, of course not. You're so perfect. What do I know.

[fans_fire]

Per...what? Chie, I've never said...wait a minute. You're not...

[neverlethergo]

Of course you wouldn't say it--but everyone knows it. They also know who really is running the show: me. I'm not Chie? Oh, yes, yes I am. Don't you like knowing what I really think of you?

[fans_fire]

Chie...I'm not perfect, you know I'm not. Or you would, if you really were her.

[seeksherprince]

Why I'm right here, Chie~

[neverlethergo]

I can see that. Had fun running all over the place?

[seeksherprince]

No more fun than I have knowing you're here. You know I mean nothing without you...that's why I keep you around.

[neverlethergo]

You aren't going to leave me. I'm the one in control...but nobody would care if you weren't there.

[seeksherprince]

Why, but of course you are. I am but the fair damsel forever doing as she's told. You know I could never rescue myself even if I wanted to.

[neverlethergo]

That's the way it should be; if I wanted you to stay in Inaba, you'll stay. I don't want to be left behind.

[seeksherprince]

Anything you say, Chie-chan. After all, it's not like I'm strong enough to stand up for myself even if I wanted to.

[neverlethergo]

Ehe... You know that I like it when you say things like that. It charges me right up, Yukiko.

[charioteering]

[...oh shit.]

You....

[neverlethergo]

Those feelings never really went away but you knew that.

[charioteering]

Yeah, I know. [perks up, puts some determination in her voice:] But I'm working on them. I won't let those feelings rule my friendships anymore.

[neverlethergo]

Feelings have a strange way of popping up when you don't want them to. You can't be certain, can you?

[charioteering]

No, but that's what makes people people, right? We get scared and jealous and angry and everything else. All we can do is deal when they come back.

[neverlethergo]

What if Yukiko leaves, huh? Goes to the big city and leaves us behind. That kind of talk won't help much then, will it.

[charioteering]

Ha, probably not. Yukiko's our best friend. Watching her go would hurt. Still, if leaving makes her happy then...I'd want her to be happy.

[neverlethergo]

That's so sappy...
