mulling over some things

[luciding]

Will you stop that?

[arms crossed, someone doesn't look very happy...!]

Honestly, I think you're far more into any of this than I am. You're always jumping to conclusions and gushing over all this "doki doki" business. What about my feelings???

. . .

That is.... if I actually had any feelings worth talking about!

[fidget fidget]

Which I don't.... and they don't. They wouldn't... couldn't... could they?

[a deep flush stains her cheeks, and she reaches her hands up to cover them.]

A-Ah, let's talk about something else now! A new subject if you don't mind?? Like, when am I going to actually start working at that cafe? I don't want Julius to have to keep supporting me. He has enough on his plate as it is.

[have you no shame--]

I never said I was feeling that way..!

[knightofchanges]

[Ace with shame. ha ha ha ha ha!]

Oh you didn't?

[hold on, he's rereading the post.]

You were talking about feelings...or someone's feelings. Honestly you kind of lost me there.

[luciding]

[everything is lost on you, Ace. e v e r y t h i n g.]

Why should it matter to you whose feelings I was speaking of? It's not as though you've really ever showed yourself to be particularly sentimental.

[knightofchanges]

That's a little harsh.

[luciding]

Is it?

[just tellin' it like it is, bro.]

[knightofchanges]

Just a bit.

But I suppose that just means you don't trust me enough to open up to me.

[luciding]

[!!]

After all we've been through together you're going to question my trust towards you??

[knightofchanges]

No I think you trust me well enough.

Just not for personal things.

[luciding]

... You don't have to say it like that! I honestly don't feel comfortable thinking about these sorts of things, nevermind discussing them with anyone!

[knightofchanges]

[and laughing.]

Are they really that embarrassing?

[luciding]

[DON'T LAUGH AT HER FEELINGS!]

Y-Yes! So I would appreciate it if you wouldn't laugh!!

[knightofchanges]

Haha, sorry, sorry.

[he just laughed again, oops.]

Though I do have to wonder. Who are the "they" you were referring to?

[luciding]

[SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU. HUFFHUFF TSUNTSUN.]

People.

[knightofchanges]

Specific people?

[luciding]

Possibly.

[knightofchanges]

Anyone I know?

[he could kill them—I mean. uh. ...ignore that.]

[luciding]

Ace, please...

[DIDN'T SHE SAY SHE WASN'T COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT THIS...]

Who they are isn't important, really.

[knightofchanges]

[BUT HE WANTS TO KNOW...]

Hm...

[leaning toward her.]

It's not about me, is it?

[luciding]

[ajksdhkjshd must stand ground and seem unaffected!]

Why would you think it's about you?

[knightofchanges]

It's more like my mun does, haha!

[luciding]

[no comment.]

[knightofchanges]

[luciding]

[AHEM.]

If it were about you why would I say "they"?

[knightofchanges]

There might another person involved.

Is it Blood?

[luciding]

[lips forming into a pressed line, she doesn't say anything at first.]

Where is this coming from? Your mun's thoughts? Or yours?
