[ LISTEN SHE'S TRYING TO BE COY.....for once. except she just gives up because she tried. ]

Is he the person you mentioned from before?

[chanteuser]

...

[ she looks very blank. izumo. IZUMO JUST. JUST USE YOUR WORDS. A LOT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. she's mentioned a lot of people?? ]

[sacredchants]

[ i'm in tears. ]

Th, the person back when we were talking a, about Alphinaud. You know! About not waiting! A, and taking the risks.

[ not that she ever named him but it's okay.... ]

[chanteuser]

[ oh. well, rip in heck naru because alex is immediately latching onto that: ]

Alphinaud?!

[ ahhh. AHHHHH. IZUMO YOUR BOY!!! ] Oh my gosh, was this why he was so cagey talking about who he liked a few weeks back at curfew?

[ THESE DEETS JUST COMING RIGHT OUT OF THE WOODWORK!! ]

[sacredchants]

[ NO THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE WANTED.

also please help her she has no idea what alex is referring to. ]

C, cagey? Wh, what are you talking about?

[chanteuser]

We were talking about romance, and he was very specific about keeping his privacy when we were asking him.

I... guess I can see why, now. If you two were dancing around each other at the time. Privacy is important, while you're working things out.

[sacredchants]

I... I don't think we were dancing around too much.

[ she was definitely dancing around the topic, at least? because...well. what is romance in this kind of environment?? not that it hasn't been nice. ]

He seemed rather confident.

[ AND THAT'S ALL SHE'LL SAY ABOUT THAT BEFORE DYING. ]

[chanteuser]

[ oho. alphinaud. ]

Mm. That explains even more then. Whether he was confidant or not, it's better to work things out quietly, right?

[sacredchants]

[ wilts. ]

Explains even more? [ WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CURFEW?? ] But...y, yes...and keeping attention off of ourselves.

[chanteuser]

It makes sense. It's... better to know where you stand with someone before everyone else you know gets involved.

[sacredchants]

[ she'll just have to nod at that. ]

This place sure is obsessed with learning about who is with who.

[ which is funny because of how few people icly Know for Certain. ]

[chanteuser]

It's something else to talk about, I guess. But it's nice to see people being happy when things are as chaotic as they are.

[sacredchants]

[ looks at their pcs and nods. happy. ]

...and you? Is Hansa that person we talked about around the same time?

[chanteuser]

Yes, he is.

[sacredchants]

He's a little weird. [ BECAUSE HE IS. feral or not. ] ...but if he makes you happy then that's all that matters.

[ look at them and their romances. ]

[chanteuser]

[ thanks for the approval, izumo? ]

Maybe. But he's... always been there when I've needed him. [ and that is incredibly important. ]

[sacredchants]

[ LOOK. alex deserves the best and only the best.

but...ah. ]

Alphinaud, too. [ ... ] I'm not lonely when I'm with him.

[chanteuser]

...

[ she nods. ]

It's... nice. Having a place where you belong, and someone wants you and knowing it's really yours.

[sacredchants]

[ alex hit it right on the head with that. ]

Yeah. [ though— ] Do... What do you plan on doing after all of this is over?

[chanteuser]

... I'm not really sure. I want to go back home, and find Emilio but I will need to talk everything through with everyone first.

[ finding her brother and... seeing what happens in ergastulum is a given. but she'd rather not be apart from everyone for too long. ]

[sacredchants]

Do you think we'll get that chance?

[ she's referring to how they'll get the ability to go home and then go somewhere else. is...that something that they can really rely on?

you know, ignoring the fact that izumo thinks she's as good as dead when she return home, of course. ]

[chanteuser]

If they could bring us here from other places, then... they must be able to send us to other ones as well.

... I don't know if it could happen more than once though. [ that would be something of an issue. how would she find emilio and also get to stay with everyone? it's not like she wants to force them to ergastulum... ]

[sacredchants]

I...hope there is. I would wish that there could be a way for that.

[ and she could go onto a tangent as to why or say more of what she's feeling about the whole subject matter but she won't. u_u sorry alex. ]

[chanteuser]

[ bye i guess ]

That'll be another bridge to cross when we get to it, then.

[sacredchants]

[ WHY BYE. ]

Right. For now, we'll enjoy what we can and do what we need to do.
