Mmm. I think it's less about vulnerability and more... choosing to try and build as good of a future as I can. If someone decides that means I should be taken advantage of... that's their own mistake. Their own burden to bear.

[ In like a month, he's going to remember this conversation and feel like an idiot. ]

[erbe]

...Do you really have so little to lose that you can say that so earnestly?

[They really are alike. How sad.]

[hauntedking]

I owe the people around me a great debt. And I have a responsibility to the people I pledged to protect. Whatever else happens... I am willing to give my all for them.

[ So, yes. He doesn't think he has much to lose. ]

[She has so, so many arguments against that. She wants to tear off the veneer and rip him a new one. However, she can't. Not with how this has been set up. Rin simply pinches the bridge of her nose and sighs.]

I'm sorry... I think I feel a headache coming on.

[hauntedking]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... it may be a good idea to get some rest.

[ He offers a smile. ]

Regardless... thank you for your gift and your company today.

[erbe]

You are welcome. I hope my meager magecraft is of some use.

[Meager. Hah! She knows it will do just fine. Though the picture she has painted for "Ayako" requires a bit more modesty. Rin will finish her tea, and take one more pastry for the road so they're split even.]

Have a lovely day, Dimitri.

[All this saccharine nonsense is going to rot her teeth out.]

[hauntedking]

I'm sure it will be. Thank you, Ayako. I hope you feel better!

[ Dimitri raises his hand in a bit of a wave. ]

I look forward to seeing you again.
