[Do you know who is bored? Like, ultra bored? This week off from work to finish healing and relaxing from the jailbreak has been slowly driving Alleyne mad. How does one relax after a thousand years of constant work? What is a vacation? What do you do with free time? She's been scouring the castle looking for anything to occupy herself that her

[you'd think she would have some remotely good (?) answer to that by now :T]

If you're asking, you haven't felt how it's like to be in love.

[You would think this wouldn't you?]

How can you be so sure I haven't?

[mysteries of the universe and etc]

And that response cements it, I should say.

[Oh I see that is very wise, also chin touching]

And you have? Is that what's making you so upset? If it's heartbreak, I can sympathize with you more than you think I can, child.

and such

[entailing]

What?

[no seriously she can't see the line connecting those two points at all WHERE/HOW DOES SHE FACTOR IN THIS??]

ayup

[tomatoandbasil]

[Teacher magic and having been there. You pick up on these things.]

If I'm incorrect in my guess, then chances are you're incorrect too. Either way, what's wrong with asking how to refine a skill?

[entailing]

[......dating as a skill.

there is no fitting word for the kind of exasperated keymashery in her inner monologue here

this entire conversation is tiring] Right...have fun with that "refining."

[tomatoandbasil]

[Being fight teacher is suffering]

Everyone's reacted to me like that. Is it really that odd? If you think I should think it over, be honest. I can handle it. Sometimes you children can see things someone as old I am can no longer.

[so regretting this conversation right now]

Okay, one: you're looking at romantic relationships like they're...mathematical problems or something. There's no guarantee that something turns out in a certain way [have a scribble that looks...something like a heart if viewed at a proper angle] when you take a certain action [plus an arrow pointing to the heart with courting written above it. Who uses that word in this day and age anyway?].

And two: I am not "upset."

[tomatoandbasil]

[People from high fantasy worlds with formal vocabularies, of course]

I'm being told taking it slow and as it comes is much better. If the results are undesirable they'd be easier to deal with, as well, apparently.

Well, when you're ready to speak with it, I'm all ears [Get it?] since you were kind enough to listen in on my woes.

[entailing]

That's an option. Sometimes it works well. [and sometimes...hah. Not her problem :/]

I'd be far happier if you stopped assuming I have some kind of problem, actually.

[tomatoandbasil]

[Oh you~]

Either way, thank you, Sayaka. May you be well, then.

[Still going to keep an eye on you, somewhat.]
