In lieu of interests

[hokuten_devout]

To be quite honest, I've been quite... blessed, I suppose. With the sort of... knowledge I've gained as of late, it reminds of the times in life that I've not had the chance of experiencing. Ramza, Alma, Teta, and Izlude are perfect examples of this. Much in life, I've missed in experiencing due to my upbringing. I only pray that I am not too late

Seven, is it? I shall be there.

[Private to Zalbag]

Alma was the first I had spoken my feelings to fully, but I knew that you were more knowledgeable about such things than either of us...

...But...

Yes. I do think I wish to follow these feelings.

Private to Teta

[hokuten_devout]

Ahh, I understand. Do tread carefully, yes? I have said this before, I realize. But do spend some time with him, yes? Preferrably alone.

Private to Zalbag

[delitasis]

I shall, worry not. The matters of the heart are not things that you should simply jump into without seeing your destination.

...We have, a few times. Once when we first met, and another after I was...

*She doesn't want to worry him, so...*

Whilst you were missing.

Private to Teta

[hokuten_devout]

Precisely. Though I somehow believe that with time, yourself and Rudy may grow to be closer to one another.

...Ahh, is that so? Am I to assume that... he and yourself were looking for me?

Private to Zalbag -- She can't LIE, but she doesn't want to be honest either.

[delitasis]

It...is a nice thought, truly. I hope so.

Ah...

It is a long story. One that I am sure you would not be interested in.

Private to Teta -- DOUBLE-EDGE SWORD TIME!

[hokuten_devout]

A long story? Surely you are able to make this long story short, yes?

Private to Zalbag -- PRESS A TO AVOID CONVERSATION!!!

[delitasis]

A-ah...

Are you certain you would wish to hear it? It is truly quite uninteresting.

Private to Teta -- SHE CANNOT AVOID HER FATE!

[hokuten_devout]

In a few simple words... though your hesitation is a bit peculiar, I must say.

Private to Zalbag -- A FEW SIMPLE WORDS. HE ASKED FOR IT!

[delitasis]

He...

came to watch over me while I was injured.

Private to Teta -- IT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH!

[hokuten_devout]

...Injured?! You... You are well, I would assume. You do, after all, speak before me even if in text. Lest you are an imposter, which I find no reason to believe that you are...

....Though you are safe. That is what matters most.

And yet, I do not understand how came to be injured... Mayhap it is the events that had transpired in the fog?

Private to Zalbag -- HAVE SOME EMO.

[delitasis]

Yes, my injuries are fully healed now. *Liez. They're ALMOST healed. She's well enough to walk around with minimal discomfort.* There is no need to worry!

...It was due to my own powerlessness. If I had the strength, I couldst have prevented it, as well as stopped any harm to the girl who was with me at the time.

...But yes, it...

took place during that time.

Private to Teta -- HE WILL NOT PRESS THE ISSUE ANY MORE :D BE HAPPY

[hokuten_devout]

If you insist, Teta... But you must be more careful. If something of that sort were to happen again, I would wish it that you were not alone...

Private to Zalbag -- SHE IS. BELIEVE ME.

[delitasis]

...Thank you.

Worry not, I shall not be upon the next time, if it is to happen. Truly.

I had promised a dear friend that if something were to happen, I would seek his aid.

Private to Teta -- GOOD!

[hokuten_devout]

Ahh, 'tis for the best, I must admit. And mayhap I know of this friend who you would seek the aid of...

Private to Zalbag -- Of course by 'something were to happen' she means 'me being reckless :D'

[delitasis]

Y-Yes. You do know of him.

He is the same friend I care so dearly for.
