Trente-quatre

I don't know whose idea it was to violate the church, but rest assured, I am not amused.

Miss Nill, I do hope you enjoyed last night. I had a lovely time. I'm pleased we did not meet a dragon. Have you eaten all your candy yet?

Private to Megumi; unhackable

I know you wished to speak to me, but held off. Is today a better day for you?

The church? Who would do such a thing? How dreadful!

Private; Ky

Yes... ah. It... there are three things, actually. I was not sure how to discuss them, but I should get at least the first two out of the way... do you have the time?

[sealedinthunder]

Children. Pranksters. Those with no respect? I do not know.

Private; Megumi

I do have time. Please.

[roseblooms]

That's utterly dreadful! I shall be over to help you clean up immediately. Good gracious, how disrespectful!

Private; Ky

You were concerned about myself and Light earlier... it's on that matter, really.

... Please promise me you will not breathe a word of this to anyone?

Private; unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

Yes, of course. Not a word to anyone.

... I'm not sure he would want anyone else to know, and I understand it... but your concern gives me reason to let you be aware of it. I... I do not want to keep anything from you, knowing...

Ky, the night after the witch hunts, when Vivio and I were hiding... I... I was at my most unguarded, I suppose. He came to visit, and...

...well...

Private; unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

...Megu.

He...

I see.

Private; unhackable

[roseblooms]

I-- oh, no, I mean... well... He confessed to me... I told him about Axl, though. But... he kept insisting that he wanted to stay close to me.

I cannot say I am adverse to this entirely, especially now that we have Vivio... and I am fond of him.

But I don't love him the way he claims he loves me. I'm not really sure... it's so confusing.

Private; unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

Did he ask you to marry him?

You know that I will always care for you, and for Miss Vivio...

But I do not trust him. I cannot advise this, especially since you don't love him. I do not believe he loves you, Megu.

But it is ultimately your decision. I can only tell you how I feel on the matter.

Private; unhackable

[roseblooms]

!!! Well that... n... it's a little hard to explain, so I shall merely say no for now.

But... I don't dislike him... and I enjoy his company. And more than that, I... I love Vivio a lot. She reminds me of Sayako...

Is it bad that I would stay with Light, just so she could have her family? I mean, if it's not hurting anyone, and we know our places... it could work out, don't you think?

Private; unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

Megu.

I do not think that is for the best, nor do I honestly feel it would work out. Vivio would do well to have you as a mother, of course I think that.

But she does not need you to pretend, for a family. A child's parents should love each other, if they are to be together.

If you care for her and love her - that is enough. You do not need to involve Light, nor get involved with him, to give her a family.

Ky...

Private; Unhackable

[roseblooms]

You raise a valid point.

But... when I think about it... I don't really dislike his attention either. We have our ups and downs, but we still...

And last night he rescued me -again-. A part of me doesn't even want to refuse him. I know I wont ever fall in love with him... but I really do like being with him.

Does that... make sense?

Private; Unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

I understand...

...but I cannot agree.

Private; Unhackable

[roseblooms]

He's young, I'm certain he'll have interests elsewhere eventually. But your words just made me think...

I just... wanted your opinion, I guess. He's going to be around much more, and I would much rather have things at home being balanced than tense, hm?

More than that... I don't want you to ever be upset with me. Or think that I'm betraying Axl... though doing this sort of thing... it's almost like that, isn't it? Even if I keep saying I love only him?

Private; Unhackable

[sealedinthunder]

Axl...

I get the oddest sensation about Axl.

In any case, I do not think you're betraying him - nothing of the sort! But I do think you should factor Axl into your equation - what if here were to come here?

But again...you cannot live your life with that hope. Oh, Megu, I simply do not wish to see you attach yourself to a man you do not love.

Private; Unhackable [1/2]

[roseblooms]

What if indeed...

It would be so much simpler if he was. I miss him so much... if he were here...

I've always just wanted a family. And Light... whatever his reasons are, gives it to me in a strange way. Perhaps... that's why...
