Still searching

[flowerling]

It's all right, I don't mind. As long as I go somewhere nice in the end. But I don't know what "lone canon warrior" means. Won't Asbel and the others be there? I hope so.

I still have to give Hubert his new glasses.

What's this about new glasses?

[ It's dangerous to go alone, use this? ]

[flowerling]

The captain thought your eyes wouldn't be poor if we got you new glasses.

[detonationbloom]

[ Oh. God. ]

That... this has gone far enough. [ He SIGHS. ] Just what exactly did the Captain tell you?

[flowerling]

He said to get you glamorous glasses. I couldn't find one with stars, but the gold should be enough. So your eyes won't be poor anymore.

[detonationbloom]

Sophie, that really isn't necessary.

[flowerling]

Oh. [but the glasses are really shiny]

[detonationbloom]

[ D-don't look so disappointed... ]

I suppose... if you went through the trouble of getting them, I could at least take a look.

[flowerling]

[they are very gold and gaudy. yep]

[detonationbloom]

[ They're... hideous. ]

You don't honestly expect me to wear these, do you?

[ That question is almost completely flat. Oh lord. ]

[flowerling]

The captain said that they needed to look that way.

[detonationbloom]

So that 'my eyes won't be poor anymore,' you said?

[flowerling]

[meet Sophie's logic: gold glasses are expensive, therefore his eyes are not poor]

Yes.

[detonationbloom]

Sophie...

[ What is even the point. ]

Thank you. I am grateful that you are worried about me, but I much prefer my old glasses.

[flowerling]

Okay. [at least she doesn't look disappointed]

[detonationbloom]

[ That's a relief. He shakes his head. ]

For the record, Sophie, having poor eyesight means I'm nearsighted.

[flowerling]

You can only see things near to you? [she leans in closer]

[detonationbloom]

Not exactly. But without my glasses, things that are farther away appear blurry to me.

[ Professor Hubert will clear this up once and for all. ]

[flowerling]

Like when your eyes are wet? Things look blurry then, too.

[detonationbloom]

I suppose so. It's similar, but it doesn't go away. My eyeglasses help focus my vision.

[flowerling]

Do you like wearing glasses, Hubert?

[detonationbloom]

It's not as though I have much choice, but I guess that's fair to say. [ It certainly helps hide 90% of his blushes. ]

[flowerling]

You wouldn't be Hubert without them.

[detonationbloom]

Precisely.

[captain_cleavage]

A "lone canon warrior" means that you'll be assigned one cannon to use in battles.

[This Captain might be more boobalicious than what Sophie's accustomed to, but it's still the troll captain.]

[flowerling]

[she nods. This makes sense]

Captain, why are you a woman now?

[captain_cleavage]

[Man, to give the serious answer or to continue the trolling...]

I've always been a woman, Sophie.

[flowerling]

Really..? [oh maybe she's not as observant as she thought]

[captain_cleavage]

[Not to worry -- It's totally understandable that she'd miss Malikah's set of melons.

Totally.]

Mm-hmm. But you see, an evil witch put a curse on me to turn me into a man. It's only recently that the curse was lifted.

[flowerling]

Oh. I'm glad the curse was finally lifted.

[captain_cleavage]

Trust me, no one's as glad as I am. It's a lot more fun being a woman.

[flowerling]

Yes. Pascal seems to have lots of fun.

[captain_cleavage]

You ever thought about being a boy, Sophie?

[flowerling]

No.

[captain_cleavage]

It's an interesting experience. But rather...hard, sometimes.

[what oh no malikah why did you go there -- ]

[flowerling]

If that's true, Asbel and Hubert are amazing.

/threadjack because why not Malik?

[calamityrondo]

Heh, well I'm sure they both have plenty of experience at this point. They're at that age...

[ Malik why are you endorsing this kind of conversation. ]

Malikah > Sophie > Malik, just to make things easier

[captain_cleavage]

But of course you would have the most experience of them all.

[SCREEEEEAAAAM Sophie needs an adult

...adults that aren't these two @_@]

[flowerling]

[luckily Sophie has no idea what either of them are talking about]

That's why Asbel looks up to you, Captain.

[calamityrondo]

Indeed. Though I haven't taught him everything I know, I'm sure he'll figure it out on his own.

[ Malik, what are you doing. Stop now. You're terrible. ]

[captain_cleavage]

[If Malik's terrible, Malikah might quite possibly be worse.]

Perhaps, but -- having been a man myself, I know quite well that male deductive ability only goes so far. For Asbel and Hubert to truly understand, they'll need hands-on experience provided by a woman.

[calamityrondo]

So he didn't like the glasses, hmm? That's a shame.

[flowerling]

He likes his old glasses.

[calamityrondo]

And you told him these were special glasses? They could amplify his cryas artes, you know.

[ could doesn't mean they do, but... ]

[flowerling]

Maybe I can wear them instead!

[calamityrondo]

Good idea. They'd probably suit you better, anyway.

[flowerling]

Okay!

[calamityrondo]

[ Man I wish I could draw cause that would be really, really cute. ]

I bet they'll look great.

[flowerling]

I hope so.

[calamityrondo]

No, I know so. Gold is definitely your color, Sophie.

[ Mostly he just likes seeing her get excited over little things. ]
