"That is what I said, yes."

My God that is miserable.

Like most ideals, they died.

I had ideals once.

( He sways back and forth, heels to toes, as he considers it. ) They say you only live once, may as well make some peaceful memories. Sure, what the hell. I'll go with you.

// Okay I'm alive now fr fr

"Whoops, guess you noticed that one, huh?" Not subtle enough. He only shrugs.

"Ah? Telling the dream demon you're having nightmares, then curling up beside him. Interesting choice. Is this permission to whisk the bad dreams away?"

"The same person in charge of dreams, I'd imagine."

This is us about Olga Marie.

I refuse to discuss the subject further. My opinion will not change. If you continue to annoy me, I will kill you. This discussion is over.

What a dream, to drop everything and frolic in a meadow with someone you've just met. And what of my responsibilities? They should simply be put on pause?

... Huh. I'll see. As nice as that would be, it's not feasible right now.

// Okay I have to go to bed lol hopefully I have enough juice to do replies on ALL my accounts when I wake up.

In the end, his only reaction is to stick out his tongue and pout. In truth, he was likely to react this way no matter what Majora said next. He'd already decided he wasn't going to get mad about it. "He may put the idea in your head, but you're the one who blurted it out. Have some integrity~!"

"Such a thing would never come to pass. What frightens me is the thought that those I surround myself with would possess a total lack of faith in me—-in my restraint."

"I don't know. It felt like an oddly specific thing to mention. Do you think I'm going to 'stray from my path?'" His voice is initially sharp and rhythmic, but it trails off near the end. Wavers, tinged with anxiety. "Nevermind, forget I said anything."

He starts to embrace Majora, but pauses abruptly. "What's that supposed to mean?"

He thinks for a moment to double down, if only as a joke, but the thought twists a knot in his stomach. "...No, my love for you is pure. You were caught in a wide-cast net, that was not my intention."

"Obsession blurs the lines. I am not obsessed, my distaste is pure and distinct. I am capable of both sensations simultaneously, but one has never led to the other."

I tolerate you significantly more than the others.

He furrows his brows. "I can't see how that could possibly be true. They're polar opposites."

He rolls his neck, thinking, thoughts passing over him in waves. A rare moment of peace for him. It's funny, really. He's not certain what, just that it 𝘪𝘴. Funny. "Are you... Bored?"

And to round out this cast of clowns, Nathaniel himself. 𝘠𝘦𝘴 I am sure.

Good morning to you too, Hibiki. Another to the pile, I suppose.

( He shuts his eyes, inhales deeply. A foreign sensation runs through him, scalding beneath his skin. Inviting. Another step closer, but he recognizes this flavor. He laughs. When his eyes reopen, their gaze is a tad less friendly than before. She has his attention now. ) ... You are ...An empath?

Not this fucking guy.

( Why are they loudly plotting my downfall? )

( Distance closed without hesitation. He tilts his head. ) You're a rude little thing, aren't you?

Rare to meet one who knows so little, I can appreciate that. It's a little exciting, I get to make my own first impression for once. Well, I promise you, I'm not a bad dancer. It's not something I pride myself on—wasn't my choice—but it is the truth. Haha, woof.

...Yeah, alright.

// IM SO SORRY FOR SPAMMING THE TL LOL THEYRE BEATING MY ASS IN THE QRTS!!!

Hah... Those are fighting words.

I fail to see what that has to do with anything.

That much is a given. I know I've been keeping it PG-13 lately but it's almost like you've forgotten who I am. Speaking of, this conversation and its dubious wording is giving me the urge to clamp down on your trachea and shake you back and forth like a dog toy. Just figured you should know.

I've never fucked anything up my whole life. I do everything flawlessly and effortlessly. If something goes awry it's everyone else's fault, obviously.

( Sniffle ) yeah.

Damn, a kindred spirit. I have to respect that.

Hear this, woman: Merlin dances for no one. Except Artoria, on her birthday.

What? Who are you and how did you get in here?

I hate all of you.

( Long moment of silence. Disapproving stare. )
