Probably headed to adstringendum. Sob.

Dearest Mun-Chan,

My, my, you even surprised me with how eager you are. You haven't even finished reading yet! But, before you just rush into this, don't you think you should stop and consider a few things? You've never been able to handle two characters at one game for longer than a few months. And unlike the muses you may have had in the past, I'm looking for more of a long term committment~ So perhaps it really is best if you rethink this, just a little.

Well, I suppose if your minds made up, then I'll have no choice, will I? And it would be wrong to leave Syaoran-kun there alone. That just wouldn't do, now would it? Don't want to end up a slacker parent like Kuro-poo, after all.

My bedroom is a little small, but if this works out, you can stay with me in the castle, Fai.

It'll be nice seeing you again. I've missed you.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

How kind of you to invite little old me to come and stay with you, Syaoran-kun~ I'm flattered, really.

... You haven't been alone that long, have you?

[everydayimsuffering]

Well we're friends, aren't we? I would feel horribly rude not offering you a place to stay...

[He shakes his head, giving him a smile.]

Not for too long, no. The time seems to go by so slowly though, without the princess.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

Is that so? Well then, it'd be rude of me to turn you down, wouldn't it?

Now, now, Syaoran-kun. Imagine how she would feel if she were to show up and found out that you had been suffering without her? She'd feel guilty because she wasn't there with you. You don't want that, do you?

[everydayimsuffering]

No...But I don't want to lie to her either. Though perhaps It wouldn't hurt if I told her I was there a shorter time than I actually was.

[He smiles a little fondly, thinking of her.]

I've been actually keeping myself busy there, preparing a room for her.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

But she'll still worry for you either way.

[It's just what the princess does, after all.]

Don't we have our priorities in order! I'm sure she'll be delighted, Syaoran-kun.

[everydayimsuffering]

That is true. I have to admit I do the same. Its a bit of a trade off.

[He smiles and nods though, excited for her to see it. Its quite nice, actually. He's been working hard to make it perfect for her.]

Hopefully. Though I wonder if it will be a waste...Some people say the one you want here will never come, no matter how long you wait.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

Come now, Syaoran-kun. You mustn't think that. After all, wishes are more than capable of coming true. Or have our travels so far taught you nothing?

[everydayimsuffering]

Yes, but what I am afraid of is the price either of us will have to pay for such a selfish wish...

[youthoughtiwasserious]

Ah yes, but remember Syaoran-kun, that anything worth having is worth paying for.

[everydayimsuffering]

That is true...but it isn't something she would want.

[the13tharcana]

You're a friend of Syaoran-kun?

[youthoughtiwasserious]

He didn't mention me?

[the13tharcana]

He has mentioned to have been traveling across dimensions with friends, but Sakura-chan is the only name I got, I'm afraid.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

Well, since Syaoran-kun didn't see fit to do it, I shall introduce myself. My name is Fai.

[the13tharcana]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Fai-kun! Syaoran's friends are also my friends!
I'm Ryoji Mochizuki.

[youthoughtiwasserious]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Ryoji-kun. Perhaps you could tell me, how has Syaoran-kun been fairing? I'm afraid he's not telling me the whole truth.

[the13tharcana]

I've talked to him just twice so far, but he seemed to be doing fine! Maybe he simply doesn't want you to worry, though?

[youthoughtiwasserious]

Yes, I'm sure that's it. Syaoran-kun is very thoughtful like that.
