[Lyon's had about enough of everyone's truth for today.]

Stop it! Stop saying those things! Why would you even joke about that, Miakis?

[Guess who doesn't know about that stuff with Georg yet.]

[sting_like_a]

Joke about what?

[...oh yeah she kinda forgot that Lyon's from the past.

Oops.]

[float_like_a]

About Georg and the Queen! That's not funny!

[sting_like_a]

[And now she finally falters and realizes just what she's done. With a heavy, world-weary sigh, she miserably slinks over the couch and sits down.]

I'm sorry, Lyon -- I didn't want you to find out like this...

[float_like_a]

Stop joking around, Miakis!

[Lyon will be stubbornly clinging to this narrative for her own sanity for the time being.]

[sting_like_a]

I'm not joking! [She would try to pass it off as a joke, were she capable of anything but telling the honest truth. Alas.] But it's like I said! It was for the best... All of Falena would have become just like Lordlake if he hadn't done it!

[float_like_a]

No! It's not true! Stop saying that!

[Hands over her ears now, trying to block it out even though she knows full well how to tell joking Miakis from serious Miakis when it really counts.]

[sting_like_a]

You don't have to believe me right now, anyway. You'll see for yourself sooner or later...

[Here, Lyon, you can has a Miakishug. :C]

[float_like_a]

[Lyon hugs back tightly and just starts sobbing into Miakis' shoulder. The past few days have had way too much truth for her to handle. Between their housemates being assassins, her spilling the beans to them about her sketchy assassin past, and now this... these tears have been building up for way too long.]

[sting_like_a]

It'll be okay, Lyon... Everything's gonna turn out just fine in the end, you'll see~

[S-SNIFFLING. Bawww now you're making Miakis cry too. Thinking about Arshtat's death and her own jackassery still hurts. And this was definitely not how she wanted Lyon to find out about Ken and Omi. Today sucks!]

[float_like_a]

How can you say that?

[sting_like_a]

I'm from the future, remember? I know these things!

[T-Trying to lift the mood. And likely failing spectacularly.]

[float_like_a]

But it's not just that! We live with assassins, Miakis! And you knew about it!

[sting_like_a]

I--! [ERK. Way to hit her where it hurts, Lyon.] I wanted to tell you! There was just... never a good time or place...

[float_like_a]

You had plenty of time to tell me, Miakis.

[sting_like_a]

Okay, when would you rather I broke the news to you? After I died? Or how about after that whole droning fiasco?

I never meant to hide it from you, Lyon! You know me better than that. I'm sorry...
