He hasn't gone full smiles, everything is fine to me, so I'm counting it as a success.

I know it doesn't sound like it, but it is one.

We may need eyes on Wukong.

He's more volatile like this.

From:

sangreine

Right, sure. I'm an expert in how to deal with volatile amnesiacs, so I don't mind.

From:

forgingfires

It would be appreciated. MK is only going to be able to pretend he's fine so long in front of Wukong, Macaque is going to have his own time, and he already hates me.

From:

sangreine

Never underestimate the power of the subconscious. The fact that he has such strong feelings about you already means he's still in there. If that gives MK any comfort.

From:

forgingfires

I don't know how to feel about that, but it would probably help Noodle Boy, yes.

From:

sangreine

Feel how you feel. These situations kick up all kinds of things.
Feel free to deposit your stuff on me instead of MK, his plate is overfull as it is.

From:

forgingfires

I don't dump my Wukong feelings on MK more than I absolutely have to. Usually when he asks because I'm trying to not lie to him.

But I don't think he's going to be in a place to ask, so its all fine.

From:

sangreine

A simple no would have sufficed. But the offer's open if you need it.

From:

forgingfires

I also don't want to dump those feelings on you.

You care about him and it doesn't feel right.

From:

sangreine

There is no one on any world better at compartmentalizing than I am. But as long as you have an outlet for it, I won't push.

From:

forgingfires

I have an outlet. You might be able to compartmentalize, but I can't. Not enough to forget that fact and that means I'd always be holding stuff back about him.

From:

sangreine

I wouldn't judge you for your less than pleasant thoughts about him. But if you're not comfortable, then you're not.

From:

forgingfires

I'm not comfortable, no. Not about this.

From:

sangreine

All right.

[ She's kind of waiting for the punchline then? If he doesn't need to talk then surely there's some other point being circled around? ]

From:

forgingfires

We should go on a date when this is all done.

Things just keep happening and we should have one when it calms down.

[And before he has to add yet more Happening by telling her about Haji.]

From:

sangreine

[ shaking her head fondly at her phone ]

In my experience, things are always going to happen.
But I know you probably want to plan something significant and that does take a period of relative calm.

After the new quests go up things are usually calm for a couple of weeks. I suppose I could delay going on some of the longer ones if that's my reward.

From:

forgingfires

I do. Want to plan something significant. We haven't gotten to do anything particularly romantic since there were always things happening.

But I want to. Something to make you feel special, and for fun.

From:

sangreine

I guess it's true that we didn't get much time for that since before I started getting tired all the time. [ When he gave her the bracelet she was too tired to do more than lay in bed, the bite ritual was during a stolen moment at the party she threw, and the few times they sent extended time together between then and now were always about some big deal or another. ]

Just making time for me is special, though. I know you like the big productions so I won't fight it, but don't go thinking you need a month of prep time to see me.

From:

forgingfires

I know, I know. Its just the drama. I had been hoping I could do it after this moon.

Except then this.

But I'm going to romance you properly. A full day just for you, doing things that I hope you'll be enjoying. And if not, I will have learned things for next time.

From:

sangreine

There's always going to be something happening in a place like this, and I know that, so don't worry over it.

I know I'll enjoy everything, since I'll be with you. [ Romantic at heart though she is, Saya has simple tastes about these matters. But he likes bg productions and he did have to scale down his courting gift delivery, so. ]

From:

forgingfires

[Its true. He would have made it a Whole Thing except she was barely staying awake by the time he figured himself out and. Well. Better she had it than not.]

This place can be so exhausting sometimes.

Oh.

Yes.

Well.

That is good to know, but I still hope you like the actual stuff too. Double enjoyment?

From:

sangreine

I have no doubt that I will. You're very considerate of my wants and needs.

From:

forgingfires

[He is blushing so much.]

[A pause.]

[And then he sends a selfie, hand over half of his face, letting her see how much he's blushing.]

[This assault of emotions. But he figures she likes seeing him affected.]

I try.

From:

sangreine

[ giggling now ]

You succeed. And you're adorable.

From:

forgingfires

You're a tease, but far be it for me to deny you being able to see your affect on me.
