...Even if I don't like ninety-nine percent of the people in this damn city, some of you are tolerable, at least. Moreso than I give you credit for.

It's merely easier to ignore or insult and be on my way than it is to actually deal with people. I'm very poor at anything remotely social and I prefer not to make a fool of myself by trying to be

That's... noble of you.

[sword_and_quill]

...Even if I'm not a knight anymore, I like to believe I can still have similar values.

[monsterepellant]

Nothing wrong with being a jerk.

[sword_and_quill]

...No, there isn't. But it can be a bit annoying when people repeatedly condemn you for it. Or use it as a reason not to listen to a word you say.

[monsterepellant]

Mn. I can understand that, because then you have to find a way to rescue them.

[sword_and_quill]

Indeed. Carelessness too often leads to trouble.

[mizrahigirl]

I know.

[sword_and_quill]

...Are you doing better today, Sakura? I was worried. I know most from your world has returned and it's been hard for you since, but it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do to help. I hate feeling useless.

[mizrahigirl]

Mm, I'm doing better. I just didn't like hearing them outside. It reminded me of the Underground-

Everyone except KOS-MOS has gone home. At least I know I didn't hold any of them back.

You're not useless, Fakir. You're my friend. ...Is Rashid still here?

[sword_and_quill]

I don't think anyone enjoyed hearing--or seeing them.

...You shouldn't think of it like that. I doubt any of them thought you were holding them back.

...Well I'm glad that you think so. Rashid is still here, yes. He's out back in the stables.

I like that you protect me even if you are too controlling sometimes. Makes me feel loved, Fa--

...I thought you were one of those that really resented me for it. That's a relief.

And you really need to get rid of that silly notion that you're not loved. Whatever that Monster Raven said obviously isn't true. And I was happy to find out you were actually my sister.

Nobody ever cared before to look out for my well-being. I'm used to be independent in this, but it feels... good, regardless.

I know he was a liar. I was so happy to discover you were my brother.

[schwanprinz]

To let you know, I did not need a curse to inform me of this. I understand, Fakir. And I'm sure Ahiru and Rue do as well.

[sword_and_quill]

...It's a relief, if that's the case. But I couldn't blame you if you held anything against me. I certainly could have been a little...nicer about the way I treated you and the others. To put it lightly.

[schwanprinz]

Fakir, I don't hold anything against you at all. I never have.

You were a very good friend and tried to look out for me, so did Rue. You and Ahiru had different ways of doing this, but your intentions were noble, and even sweet.

[sword_and_quill]

...I really can't understand how easily you and Ahiru can forgive people for their wrongdoings and mistakes. Especially if it's a repeated offense.

I know you're both generally more open-minded when it comes to things like that, but it still baffles me.
