You made it? [ surprise! ] You're learning to cook?

[feytality]

I know how to cook!

[ she just chooses to make others feed her ]

But Hugo gave us an ice cream machine this week, and I thought I'd take it for a spin. It's so easy even you can do it.

[ wow... rude ]

[shaft]

He did? He's sweet in the oddest ways, isn't he... But if you ever say anything, he fluffs up like an angry owl.

[feytality]

He's very sweet. I think he's just scared of letting people in.

(But really, he's just a big ol' softie... just like you...)

[shaft]

[ Quietly accepts this meta... ]

I think that might be the case. He was really disgruntled about about Lucretia caring about him.

[feytality]

[ he can hear her inner monologue so he will just have to deal with it ]

Yeah, he just ignored me entirely when I told him that I cared, too.

(I have to wonder if he feels the same way I did...)

[shaft]

[ Well, he's going to acknowledge it. ]

How did you feel?

1/2

[feytality]

(Woah, Claude can read my mind?!)

(Wait.... Oh, right.... he can hear this)

[feytality]

... Um... I used to feel pretty bad, when people starting caring about me... 'cause I thought it'd hurt them more in the end.

[shaft]

[ Claude's reaction is instant, and not-verbal: Why? ]

How did you change?

[feytality]

[ bc of her canon point :') ]

Well... it's thanks to you guys, really....

[shaft]

... That recent?

[ D: ]

[feytality]

(I only really worried about that when I was here... )

[ like claude she has no friends except her pet phoenix ]

I think Hugo is pretty stubborn, though. Even more than me. So... I don't know, I'm trying to get through to him.

[shaft]

He spends a lot of time taking care of others. But between you and Lucretia, hopefully he has two people to trust.

[ Still concerned about Maya. ]

Just like you.

[feytality]

Well, I don't know if he trusts me, per say..... but I think he's at least accepted that I'm going to be there, whether he likes it or not.

(...?)

Me?

[shaft]

Yeah, you have people that trust and care about you too.

[ Nudges her shoulder. ]

No matter how tough you act.

[feytality]

.... I know.

[ she did say her feelings changed.... ]

That's the reason I can be tough in the first place.

[ gay. ]

[shaft]

[ Gives her a pat on the head. He's so fond... ]

So. What's going on with you and Rita?

[feytality]

[ this pc is set before their date but ill say claude has already seen them together somewhere ]

[ also sighing a little at the headpat.... but it's him, so she'll allow it ]

... It's not what you think. She's just helping me out with something, is all.

[shaft]

[ thank u timelines are hard

Anyway, he thinks about this for a second. ]

Extra credit or making someone jealous?

[feytality]

[ laughing ]

You really think someone would be jealous of Rita?

(I don't know how to break it to you guys that I'm not that popular of a date....)

[shaft]

I know you have... a thing. With Riku.

[ he thinks ]

[feytality]

Oh, you mean where he just insults me or freezes up when I try to do anything?

[ rolling her eyes a little, but with affection ]

You think a guy like that has it in him to get jealous? He doesn't even know what he wants.

[shaft]

[ Riku... buddy. ]

What do you like about him, then?

[feytality]

Well... he's cute, and sweet... he cares about his friends a lot, and he's strong... he's kind of a dummy, but not in a bad way. He has a big heart.

(I don't think I'm really cut out for romance, though....)
