It seems to be simply impossible for things to stop, now that they've started; which I suppose isn't too entirely shocking considering I seem to remember that was a basic principle of somesort... Though I don't believe it was meant to apply to this sort of situation, it may be close enough. It's tiresome, however

We have another one?

[lost_by_time]

I suppose you do have a way to go before your ego can compete with the likes of mine and Kaiba's.

Yes, of course.

[fallen_harpie]

Make that a long way until I reach that level. You two are one of a kind.

Would you ever consider...dating Shizuka? *frowns slightly* You don't need to answer if this makes you uncomfortable. I am just worried over her.

[lost_by_time]

Alright, a long way. Though I hope you're grouping Kaiba and I seperately; I'd rather not be associated with him.

...Ah, erm, where did this come from? What are you worried for her about; did she say something? Is she upset with me?

[fallen_harpie]

I would never, ever, do such a thing. It would be an insult to you. A horrible insult.

First of all breathe Maboroshi, I am not a cop *raises an eyebrow* Let's just say that I'm quite observant. No, she's not upset with you at all. I'm worried if she cares for someone that wouldn't care for her back. In this way I mean.

[lost_by_time]

That's good, thank you. I might have had to do something drastic.

Right, right, of course, alright... Erm... I'm not certain what to say... I really don't want her to hate me...

[fallen_harpie]

*smirks* Now I simply have to ask. What would that be?

Maboroshi, you are talking to me and not her. She won't hate you for this. I think she just would like to know if you would ever be interested on her or not. It's better than keeping her hoping for something that won't happen.

[lost_by_time]

I don't know... Something to distance me from him. Like becoming... What do they call it? Emo?

Yes... It wouldn't be right to lead her on... I just... I can't even think about anything like that. No. I'm... Not interested. She's going to be so upset...

[fallen_harpie]

Tell me you are not going to spend your days moping around. God knows we have enough of those around here.

That's all I needed to know Maboroshi. Don't worry too much. She won't be...too much I guess. Just a bit sad and that will fade with time. Shouldn't you tell her that?

[lost_by_time]

No, no. I'm aware this will make my ego inflate again, but I fear what would happen to everyone if I did so.

...That's not all that comforting. And what, me tell her? I was sort of hoping you could tell her, and I could avoid her the rest of my life... Or at least until she calms down.

[fallen_harpie]

Leaving this whole group by themselves without you to herd them away from any mess? That wouldn't inflate your ego but state the truth. I never said this though.

*can't help but laugh* Oh God, you are priceless sometimes. *sobers slowly* She won't attack you for something like this. It's simples as that. You don't feel the same way she does. That's not something that can be forced on someone. She won't ever blame you. But I can tell her if you can't. She has to know.

[lost_by_time]

I cling to the hope that they might be able to take care of themselves, though. If not, no doubt you're more than competent enough to take over.

*Faint smile* Is that good? Yes... But she was so obviously hurt before... I don't know, should I really be the one to tell her? You probably shouldn't be the one to have to do this....

[fallen_harpie]

They better because I don't think I look ready to be a mother Maboroshi. They can stand on their own two feet...they just need a small push every now and then.

Yes, it is. Don't worry *smiles back* She was hurt in a very different way. She was used. This is to prevent her of being hurt again. *sighs softly* I don't say it is easy. The fact is that you should be the one to tell her.

[sorry, in wrong journal ^_^]

[lost_by_time]

Yes, you're probably right. Though I'd rather not give them the chance to have to test that.

Well, yes, that of course... But... Did she tell you about when we had our duel? *Frowns and fiddles with the belts on his sleeves* I had a feeling you'd say that...

[Hehe, no problem; I nearly do that all the time. XD]

[fallen_harpie]

*smiles* That sounds a very good idea.

*nods trying not to smile* Indeed. That was not a very smart wager to accept knowing how you feel. *shrugs lightly* That's because you know me somewhat. And you know what must be done. *eyes turn serious* She won't think badly of you because of this.

[lost_by_time]

*Frowns* I didn't know when I accepted. I thought it was just a girlish bet and it didn't mean anything... *Sighs* I would say I'd rather duel Dartz again, but that wouldn't be true... Yami no Malik, maybe. *Returns to messing with the belt with a small shrug* Maybe she won't even mind too much... She has the Pharaoh living with her, after all.
