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.

From:

sangreine

I just tell the truth.

[ At some point he definitely should segue into "btw the monkeys are taking over the room you haven't even slept in yet" because they are absolutely losing the plot here. ]

From:

forgingfires

I said what I said.

Will you be okay?

Meeting Wukong with amnesia?

From:

sangreine

[ She was actually wondering if he'd at all made the connection that it might bother her. She wasn't going to hold it against him if he hadn't, there's a lot going on. ]

Mostly. It's not my first time on the other side of it.

From:

forgingfires

[He absolutely made the connection, he has just been trying to head off ALL THE THINGS.]

It is only going to be temporary. I promise, he is going to get his memories back.

From:

sangreine

I'd be the worst sort of hypocrite to be bothered if he didn't get them back. I've done it before, I'll handle it.
It's not so terrible for me. I do worry about MK, he's not ready.

From:

forgingfires

You're not a hypocrite to want someone back how you knew them.
