Thank you. But, reconsider it.

[sealedsun]

I can't.

[no phrase could be worse than that which just came out of her mouth, she thinks.

can't is such an awful word.]

[adregem]

You have to.

[ It's not that the feeling isn't there. It's just- ]

I'm not who you think I am.

[ To say the least. ]

[sealedsun]

[there are many things she must do. giving up is not one of them. ever.]

Then I would like to get to know that man and make judgments for myself.

[adregem]

[ Such fair logic. In the face of it, even Roland has nothing to say. So he chuckles, his visage pensive, voice fond. ]

You're too stubborn for your own good, princess. Has anybody ever told you that? Heh.

[sealedsun]

[him, just now.]

Perhaps once or twice. [behind her back much more often. the determined set of her mouth softens with how he colors his words.]

Am I correct in assuming that you don't find my stubbornness unpleasant?

[adregem]

...Never.

[ It's a trait he admires, more than anything, having a similar stubborn streak himself. His smile lightens somewhat. The truth of who he is still prevails, but she has a way of whittling down defenses. Still. It lingers in the back of his mind. ]

If you end up disappointed in what you discover, just don't say I didn't warn you.

[sealedsun]

[the corners of her lips twitch in the beginnings of a smile despite herself. quick to bury it, Zelda huffs and puts her hands on her hips.]

Yes, I'll be sure to tell you that you were right and I was wrong if that's what you would like to hear. I am wrong about many things but about this, I am not.

[adregem]

[ That reactions gets him to laugh, low and steady. He does not say out loud that it is an adorable thing to see, her huffing as she does. ]

Heh. I would give you more credit than that, princess. Your heart is always in the right place. [ It's why he- ]

[ He offers her his hand slowly. ] Will you walk with me?

... You're fuckin' with me, right?

[doubleimpact]

Sure, why not?

[infinite1ups]

I don't think you understand what you're asking for.

[allbedestroyed]

Certainly, if you're willing to grant a simple request...

[eternalprincess]

[ She could be teasing, but then again... ]

U-uhh...well...

[moonlightshine]

[She's trying to figure out how serious they are. Was this a joke? Are they teasing her?]

I'm flattered, but I think you're meant for someone else.

[watersacrificed]

[Keeping the worlds safe is a high priority. And, they're probably pulling her leg. So...]

Sorry, what?

[sangre_y_fuego]

Guess that depends on a few things...

[cathartesaura]

We can break up at the end of the week, but it can't be a lie.

[sangre_y_fuego]

And no one can know. That's how it works, right?

[cathartesaura]

That would be the opposite of useful to me. You don't have to shout it to the streets, but secret doesn't do the job.

[sangre_y_fuego]

Oh, I see how it is now. Use me and then toss me away like a used tissue. [Light smirk. He ain't bothered.] And who is it that I'm supposed to making jealous? Ex boyfriend?...Ex husband?...

I know. [Snaps.] High school reunion.

[cathartesaura]

[She tilts her head, debating.] Whether I'd be 'using' you or or not depends a lot on you, I think

No jealousy. Some over-invested busybodies. [Definitely a minimizing description.]

[sangre_y_fuego]

I think you're right.

Over-invested busybodies. Huh. [Tries to read her, his eyes lingering over her face.] You know what I do, right?

[cathartesaura]

Not to mention whether you have fun.

I do. [His question makes her serious and honest if still evasive] They respect violence and power. And debts. I would rather owe you, with what you do, than fail to keep up my end of the bargain.

Well- Um... I'm flattered, but... ehm...

[starsigned]

...Are you sure you're asking the right girl?
