Mun has been wearing the shipping goggles an awful lot lately

What the hell is the matter with you? I understand the Valentine's Day experiment is drawing closer, but that is no excuse for what you're plotting. Not to mention what you're putting me through outside Luceti.

Your behavior is absolutely disgraceful.

... What?

[Dammit, don't make him curious. Now he actually wants to know.]

[skirtcladgunner]

It's none of my business, but if you're going to ask... do you have anyone like that? A really old, close friend you wouldn't want anything to happen to? [She only knows about Kratos vaguely... but maybe that's not what she's referring to--in fact, it probably isn't.]

[fortunefail]

[Wait, what? "Really old"? Who told you about his real age, huh? Was it the Riddl- wait, no, he doesn't know either. Hm...]

More than one.

[skirtcladgunner]

[Oh, Yuan. That's not what she means. Jeb is her "really old friend," after all, and neither of them are Older Than They look. ...technically.]

Then you'd probably understand, right? Why I don't want anything to happen to Jeb... why I'd never forgive myself if something did happen.

[fortunefail]

Yes, yes, I understand. [And he is stepping back, now.]

[skirtcladgunner]

...I'm glad. [She's still smiling.] It makes me feel less... stupid for feeling so strongly about it.

[Because she can't stop what's not in her control, and she knows the extent of her fear of the people around her dying is highly irrational--especially with how she handles said fear.]

[fortunefail]

... It's only natural to feel that way.

[skirtcladgunner]

Heh. I suppose! I just wish I didn't react the way I do when someone I care about is in danger. It makes me worry about how I'd react if...

[Oh, shit. She laughs.] Hahaha, nevermind that! You're absolutely right, it is natural!
