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.

[manhandled]

[He snorts, his smile fading, replaced with a slight frown.]

It makes for good entertainment, apparently.

[savingthefuture]

[Even more sadface at that frown]

Isn't there a saying...you always hurt the ones you love? In regard to this? Or is it "misery is fascinating", something like that. Either way, I wish it wasn't so with these people.

[manhandled]

So~mething like that, sure.

[Don't be sad, Lucina. Inigo's breaking out into a small grin again, if only because he hopes she'd do the same.]

[savingthefuture]

[Aww, Inigo...of course he was going to do that, when has he not?]

At least there's a lot of fluffy memes out there to counter the sad ones. Or action-oriented ones where we get to fight instead of being forced through the wringer...and it's nice when a mun realizes they exist.

[manhandled]

Those? Those are nice, too.

[And he'll just...grin, a little, as he thinks back on a certain few.]

Er, in moderation, of course.

[savingthefuture]

Yes, of course. [Like certain romance-inclined memes...which can be a tad embarrassing when your mun basically ships you/everyone] My mun prefers them because there's no activity check, hahaha.

[manhandled]

No activity check? Hm, that can't be the only reason, can it?

[It's easy to tease -- he just hopes she doesn't wring his neck for it.]

[savingthefuture]

Well, it's one reason. She's also obsessed with relationships, romantic or otherwise. And considering a certain aspect of Awakening...

[manhandled]

Ohhhh. I see.

[Heh, heh. He certainly has no complaints.

Er, well, for the most part, anyway.]

[savingthefuture]

[She smiles wryly. Of course you wouldn't, you big flirt.] It's so embarrassing at times, really.

[giancarlo]

Aren't you the one being melodramatic?

[manhandled]

[Why play against type?]

It really is. Heh! But it's enjoyable, isn't it?

[manhandled]

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

[savingthefuture]

It...can be, yes. Especially since...well, to be honest, with how close we all are it's hard not to imagine my life without any of you.

[giancarlo]

Getting flustered, overreacting over things..

[manhandled]

Those...are perfectly normal reactions!

[In his world, anyway.]

[giancarlo]

Dra-ma-queen!

[manhandled]

I am not!

[manhandled]

[Oh, darn, and here he was hoping she'd take an exception to him.]

I can't say I don't understand that sentiment, Lucina.

[savingthefuture]

[She laughs a little] Which is why you flirt with every girl in the army? Or the villages? I once heard a rumor that you were caught flirting with my aunt...Owain was quite upset when he heard that one!
