Uh... hi Mayfield! It's Sora again! Does anyone know how to, um... make a call... that only goes to certain people? Haha, I have no idea. I've never been good with things like this.

[phone; filtered away from Koharu when she inevitably figures that part out]

And again, hi! It's me!

[Yes, Sora. They know this by now. Really.D

[She's not really happy with you at the moment but you're confused so...]

Slow down and try that again. Slowly.

[appleknighted]

[B-but, but, what did she do, mama Ukraine? :C]

Ah, sorry. Um. Koharu told me that she loved me, but not the same way I love her, which was confusing...

[motheringnation]

[The whole "ownership" of her daughter, hits too close to home with her history.]

Alright. Let's see if we can work it out.

Now then. You know there's different types of love right?

The type of love you'd have for a sister, or a mother, or a close friend, or someone you were dating, or married to. They are not all the same.

[appleknighted]

[It's not something she can really control, though... aw well.]

Different types. Right. [Oh, apparently there are lots of different kinds.] They aren't? Ah, yeah, I guess they would have to be different or it'd be strange.

[motheringnation]

[Don't worry, she'll like you again once she get's her thoughts sorted out on the matter.]

Exactly. If you're dating someone, you'd love them in a different way then...say they were your brother or sister.

[appleknighted]

[That's good. Sora would be sad if Ukraine hated her! So very sad.]

Different how?

[motheringnation]

[Aw, she doesn't hate her. Just a little...conflicted at the moment. Sora probably won't even notice.]

.....Well you wouldn't want to kiss your family members would you?

[Considering her own family....this is also wishful thinking.]

Or date them? That's a different type of love. It's family.

[appleknighted]

[Haha, yeah. Sora notices nothing at all about that.]

...like on the cheek... or on the lips? Aren't those ways of saying hi?

[Oh, okay, she can comprehend the dating part. Sort of.]

I took her to the prom, um, but I wasn't really thinking of that like a date.

[motheringnation]

A kiss on the cheek might be a hello.

But if you kiss someone on the lips it generally means you're interested in them romantically.

The prom?....most people would see that as a date.

The question is, do you want to date her? Or do you love her only as a friend.

[appleknighted]

It is? [But Tsuki told her that meant hello, too!] Are you sure?

Um. I really like spending time with her. She's my best friend at school! And here! And I love all the princesses, but it's... it's really like a big family...!

[motheringnation]

....yes. Quite sure.

I see.

You only love her a family member then?

[appleknighted]

I think so? As of now? I don't usually think about these kind of things, so...

[motheringnation]

Well you should give it some thought. Because you're just going to hurt her if you continue like this.

[appleknighted]

...yeah. I know. [Just thinking about it is painful for the would-be knight.] ...I never meant to hurt her...

[motheringnation]

[And Ukraine can tell this, so her tones more sympathetic.]

It's not something you mean to do dear.

All you can do is think things over and tell her the truth. That way you'll both feel better.

[appleknighted]

I was thinking a lot, just before, but I needed to know more... [Hence the call.] I'd never lie, but I don't know if I can says things the right way. I keep saying whatever crosses my mind first! Only that might just make it worse, because I say so many dumb things.
