sixth truth | video ( after Ange and Bernkastel's thread in her intro )

[ LOCKED FROM BERNKASTEL // 94% ]

[ Ange is looking even more serious than usually now, as far as that's possible. Perhaps because that usual look of not particularly caring is replaced by one of definitely caring right now. ]Be careful around that new arrival. I'm not telling you not to talk to her or that she's a total danger or whatever, just

[He decides not to press for why Ange is giving them a warning. He'll trust her judgement.

Briefly, he considers mentioning Adachi, but - no. He can't risk it. Instead, he chooses a simpler route.]

How are you, Ange?

It's nothing I can't handle.

[ She does realise Souji will probably notice her lack of answering the actual question, but figures she's okay with that for now. Besides, she isn't sure if Bernkastel being here is actually nothing she can't handle.

It was so much more easy when it just involved her own life which she didn't care for anymore either way. ]

[He notices, of course. But he lets it go. For now, at least.]

I trust you.

But the same goes for you as does for me, alright? I'm here for you.

With that person it's probably the best for you to not get involved.

[ She averts her eyes from the screen just a bit, just enough to avoid directly looking into the camera. ]

Haah? Yeah, yeah - of course I will.

[Wait, that doesn't sound very convincing.

He rallies.]

[And, incidentally, despite the turn-around in his manner - the squared shoulders, the cocky jut of his chin, the tiny smile - he's actually being honest.]

We're a team this time, right? It doesn't matter who turns up this time, we'll be working together.

[ In response to that a very small - but also tense - smile appears on her own face as she nods. ]

... Yeah. We'll do it together this time. [ Because it wasn't the same during the fourth game, when he hadn't known who she was until it was already too late. ]

I definitely won't forgive her if she tries to turn this place into her personal playground.

[looks badass]

Heh. Let her try. It doesn't matter who shows up, they're not going to be any match for us.

[Oh it's Ange. Oh it's a lock for him?]

[locked to Ange and Med'an] i lied 2/3

["That especially counts for you"...

It bothers him a little, having that said to him. Everyone seems to treat him like he's a little child, and sure, he gets into trouble plenty of times, but everyone does, and he's working on not doing it so much, and he's over a decade older than Ange.]

I can take care of myself.

[locked to Ange and Med'an] ok go

[breakin_ur_lore]

[....and he can also tell that she's concerned, more than usual. He's not sure, but he's guessing that means that there really is something dangerous about this person. She doesn't seem to show emotion without good reason.]

...and I will. Thanks, Ange.

[locked to Ange and Med'an] 1 / 2

[endofdaydream]

[ There's a little hesitant pause. Sure, she knows he can take care of himself - they're partners, it's not as if they haven't fought together before - but with Bernkastel here she can't allow herself to take any risks. Because Ange knows the witch wouldn't hesitate in going after the people she's close to for some amusement. ]

I know.

[ The curt statement doesn't come out quite as condesending as everything before, it sounds more tired, as if it were a tone of surrender. ]
