Vinea catch-all

Comments

[oceanicbutterfly]

Perhaps.

[No comment on forgiveness.]

Of course, you understand I can't act on that without a better reason than "it's possible."

[fullbodied]

Well...

Why did you decide to check on me? You had to have some idea of how I'd react.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Oh, that--that's nothing important.

[She clears her throat and looks away.]

[fullbodied]

... What?

Of course it is!

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, it really doesn't have anything to do with anything, it's--a personal matter.

[fullbodied]

A... personal matter?

[now she's even more confused.

just ????]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Right. I just wanted to check on you for my own reasons. Not everything I do is on my lady's orders.

[fullbodied]

Well I figured Nirrti didn't tell you to come cheer me up.

But also, I'm getting some very mixed signals!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Mixed signals? I'm not giving you any signals at all.

[She looks back over at Ann as she says this and she sure is blushing.]

[fullbodied]

[SHE'S SO CONFUSED??? OF COURSE THERE ARE SIGNALS.]

Wait a sec...

You're blushing!

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, I'm not!

[Such convincing. Very truth. Wow.]

[fullbodied]

I know "dumb blond" is a stereotype, but trust me. I'm not that dumb. You're blushing! Why?

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't think you're dumb at all and I like your hair!

[fullbodied]

... Oh.

Thanks.

[a beat]

Vinea-san, do you have a crush on me?

[oceanicbutterfly]

I--I'm--a King of Hell does not--

[oh no]

[fullbodied]

[she just stares at her, waiting for an answer!!

with her most wide-eyed, and innocent look]

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's... a way you could say it, yes.

[how did this become her life]

[fullbodied]

Aha!

Then I figured it out!

[she looks so pleased with herself, before realizing]

Ah... Wait. ... That means you don't hate us.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Still blushing a lot, Vinea pounces on the opportunity to talk about anything that isn't her crush.]

Why would I hate you?

[fullbodied]

We're the pieces in opposition to your mistress?

Admittedly, I don't understand the whole... relationship circle here very well, but...

[oceanicbutterfly]

That doesn't make us enemies or anything. We're only in opposition because my lady and Watanuki-san are. That could change in a week, or even right now.
