Doll~ Thank you.

Sorry to have worried you. You didn't have to come, but I'm glad you did. I'd never thought anyone... Well, thank you, it meant a lot.
[/Screened to Luke]In the end it seems there'll be four of us going to the ball together. I look forward to seeing the rest of you there

...seriously? Why would you even bother? Especially if you'll have a price to pay...that wouldn't be equivalent exchange if you gave up something to get back what I lost.

Seriously? Because I feel like it. I can't say I much believe in 'equivalent exchange'. People do what they want. Sometimes you have to pay for your own mistakes, often you pay for others' without having a choice in the matter. At least, if I do it, I do it of my own accord.

"Equivalent exchange" is the law that I've followed since as long as I can remember; the first law of alchemy. I cannot help but still think in those terms...

Anyway, I cannot imagine why you would to help me, but...thank you...

even so, it feels wrong that he may lose something and gain nothing in return. If he does end up doing this...I will repay him one day...

[ooc- strikes only legible if you want them to be ;)]

Sometimes exchanges are equivalent, and sometimes they aren't. But if you feel the need for it, we can just say if I do this for you, you owe me one.

I...that works for me.
