Someone has shaky resolve.

[manhandled]

While I'm glad that you've managed to keep me hanging in there despite things not working out for us on three occasions, you still have to somehow get over your shyness and...well. What I mean to say is: I'm not the one who, um, is...

Er -- look, we're talking about you, Mun, n-not me! So don't look at me like that!

[...]

And stop with the melodramatic threads. Really. It's embarrassing.

Your mun can't decide about a game, can she? Mine only has one "in mind" but that never means anything definite.

...melodramatic? [raises an eyebrow] Oh, dear.

[manhandled]

Oh, Lucina.

[And he brightens up, if only because he doesn't want to come off as anything but his usual cheery self. Especially around her.]

Er, he had two in mind but...things fell through. It's all complicated, really. And boring. But, er --

[Oh, right. The melodrama.]

We~ll... Let's just say some threads the mun threw me in as of late have been on the very depressing side of things.

[savingthefuture]

Hello, Inigo. [smile]

He's indecisive? Mine can be, plus she's also a bit lazy and easily distracted. A dangerous combination.

Oh...memes, I'm assuming? Because dark and depressing memes are pretty popular.

[manhandled]

Indecisive, a bit lazy and easily distracted? Yes, that's mine to a tee.

[Ahem.]

And fond of those dark and depressing memes, too. I died in one...

[He just...makes a face at that. Seriously mun, you can't get any more dark and depressing than actual death.]

In another, I'm helping a wounded friend... It all tends to hit too close to home, sometimes.

[savingthefuture]

Glad I'm not alone in that, then.

[Winces, the sadface is strong in this one] Oh, no...to die after all we've tried to do to save our world would be the worst thing ever. And I have too many memories of us being hurt in the line of fire... [closes her eyes and shudders] Apparently, these players are more fond of our part of the story than that of our parents. I think I just figured out why.

[giancarlo]

Aren't you the one being melodramatic?

[manhandled]

N-No, I'm not! How am I being melodramatic?

[giancarlo]

Getting flustered, overreacting over things..

[manhandled]

Those...are perfectly normal reactions!

[In his world, anyway.]

[giancarlo]

Dra-ma-queen!

[tacticaloffense]

I'm sorry to hear that things didn't work out, Inigo. Maybe your mundane will have other places in mind soon.

[manhandled]

Perhaps it was for for the best. Everything has a silver lining to it. At least, that's what my mother used to say. And thinking on it...

I now have more time for other pursuits!

[A beat.]

Girls!

[tacticaloffense]

Oh... Yes, of course.

[At least he seems better now...]

[manhandled]

[He recovers fast.]

Doesn't it sound like fun? What say you?

[tacticaloffense]

I'm... not really sure how that's fun but I have a lot of books to get to...

[iheartminervykins]

[ He's just going to stare and... maybe offer a hug. A short one though, he has an image to keep up. ]

[1/2]

[manhandled]

[Brief hug or no, just the offer is enough to make Inigo look at Gerome like he's doused in acid. And he's blushing too, because--]

S-Someone might see and get the wrong idea...

[2/2]

[manhandled]

[But, hey, in spite of all his gloom and doom and other antisocial pursuits, Gerome is still a friend and comrade. And a good one, despite what he may think. What's one quick hug?]

Re: [2/2]

[iheartminervykins]

[ He was glad that Inigo checked to make sure nobody was looking. It really was a relief. He honestly didn't want to be caught doing something so nice. But, he felt like it was the right thing to do. Clearing his throat... ]

I am sure... that it will be okay.

[manhandled]

[There's a slight blush that he wills away, somehow, as he rubs of a finger against his nose to keep from laughing.]

Who are you and what have you done to Gerome?

[iheartminervykins]

.....

You are... ruining the moment.

[violentrondo]

For once, I think I gotta agree with ya. And that's sayin' somethin'.

[But hey, he thinks he has right to be upset over Inigo dying in his arms suddenly going blind, okay.]

[manhandled]

[He nods in agreement, but makes every effort to not look him in the face. Those were some seriously trying threads, especially the dying one, so... get upset all you want. He won't blame you for it.]

It says a lot.

I don't understand our Muns, really. How can they find any of that entertaining?

[violentrondo]

[Oh, good. Because he's still pretty damn upset.]

Beats me! It's messed up is what it is! 'specially when they got the gall to go talkin' 'bout it like it ain't no big deal, or somethin' funny!

[manhandled]

[He's upset? He's not the one who died!]

Then they claim to be sad, too, yet they continue on, trying to outdo the last scenario.

Sigh. It's a travesty.

[Yes, he just said 'sigh.' No, he doesn't care. He feels he's earned the right.]
