He actually attacked me right after the game.

Sore winner.

Honestly. What a dreadful man.

But I'm going to just avoid him as much as possible from now on, so hopefully he won't get the chance to try anything again.

Not a bad idea... probably should avoid Salamander until the obedience thing is over, anyway.

Indeed.

[...]

Though I did meet with Jamil last night.

[straight faced,]

Business then pleasure?

[listen, yesterday was bad and therefore...]

Y-yes. Something like that.

Does Kaz know about it?

No. And hopefully he never will. I don't need him thinking I'm trying to steal his teammates away from him next.

We both know secrets don't keep in this place.

But you know that. Just... be careful.

I'll do my best.

[accepting that as much as he accepted her saying she'd use her stun ability, which means: knowing perfectly well she probably will not, so. sighs.

All right.

...Sorry. I keep getting involved in troublesome things.

Ha... it's bad to say I'm a little envious, actually?

Eh? Why?

Grass is greener, mostly. At least some of the troublesome things feel nice for you?

... not that I don't get the difficulties or struggles you have, just... I guess I'm feeling the struggle connecting with others a little on my end, is all.

[...giving him an incredulous look]

Are we in opposites land? Since when do you struggle with connecting others more than me?

Taboos.

...Ah. You keep running into the truth?

I mean, for example... a teammate of mine is pretty close with Salamander. And I can't even explain why that's complicated for me. Even without considering the factors where you're involved.

Uriel can help me with explaining that much, but it's a little less genuine when I have to speak through someone else, right?

And it's the same thing when some of these games demand that you share personal things with your teammates to showcase bonding. The turnover's also not great for that, but...

And you know how tricky it is to talk to others who don't have a vested interest in you only to keeping lying and how people can feel about that if they find out. So... I guess it is a little opposite land, yeah.

...Those cultists. They must think it's so funny.

Their sense of humor really needs some work.

[siiiigh]

I wish I could help.

It helps just having someone who already knows. You know that.

Anyway... I'm still glad you're connecting with others.

[she's going to find his hand to hold actually]

...I keep wondering if I should tell more people the truth. Should my teammates know? Would it be better if they knew?
