Thirteenth Entry [TEXT]

[dorkydomestic]

Mr. Laron, I'm ready to get my chip taken out. In fact, the sooner the better. I want to be able to not only defend my Mistress, but myself as well. I had a reminder the other night of how important this is

Are you really so stupid? Have you even bothered to consider the risks?

[dorkydomestic]

I have, but I'm willing to risk everything for the Mistress. I must be able to protect her.

[cozmic_travel]

So you're willing to put her through the pain of witnessing your death?

[dorkydomestic]

Madam, I do not wish to make an enemy of you, especially out of something that you've put your heart into. I am sorry about the pain you've obviously gone through regarding chip removals.

However, please do not question the way I intend to care for my Mistress in this frightening city when I am the only one who can defend her! Her father is not here, and neither is the Fairy Court or the Elemental Gods.

Yes, if I do die from this it will be troublesome. However, I would rather submit her to the grief of losing me for a while than do nothing and have her suffer or even die when I could have done something to prevent it.

Please understand, Madam. I am doing this because I care about her more than anything in the world.

[cozmic_travel]

...

I understand, then.

[dorkydomestic]

... Thank you for your concern, though.

[loyal_cube]

Sensei...

[cozmic_travel]

...

[loyal_cube]

I didn't expect Sensei to use such... wording.

I understand sometimes we have to do for what's best for the patient but...

... Raphael-san is in a condition where he can choose for himself.

Do you disagree?

[cozmic_travel]

...

His reasoning is not something I can disagree with.

[loyal_cube]

I'm glad...

... because he has more reasoning then I do, now...

However, in the future could you please refrain from calling my friend names? I'd appreciate it...

[cozmic_travel]

It was made in the heat of the moment, Cube. I apologize.

[loyal_cube]

I understand...

Thank you...

... for caring enough to get upset. [He is smiling now]

[cozmic_travel]

... I suppose this place is reminding me of many things I had forgotten during my life in Eientei.

[loyal_cube]

You're not alone, Sensei... lately I've been feeling the same.

It's okay because Sensei... I know you're a good person.

[cozmic_travel]

I think perhaps I can admit to that now as well.
