[ locked away from breaks_destiny so much ]

[ she can't even bring herself to use voice for this - just sending this message out in general is already embarassing enough, but she can't think of it by herself, so.. have some written text, Luceti. ]

So, let's say there's a person who did a lot for you, and even though you still can't really take it in you feel like you should at the very least try to do something back for them in return. Since it's only natural, and maybe you want to show you care as well or whatever. Something like that.

But all the things they did are so big combined that you can't even start to think of something that would be big enough or of equal value to give in return. So.. what should you even do in a situation like that?

... Purely hypothetical, I mean.

......

This is stupid.

[One thing is for sure, they have the potential for being good friends at the very least.]

Are you complaining?

[ WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT UPFRONT TO A TSUNDERE, KEIICHI. Because of that, there's just a pause, which she disguises by sipping from her drink. ]

... No.. I'm not. Why would I be?

[He smiles and takes a sip of his own drink.]

Because I trapped you into being stuck with me for as long as you have even one of those coins unused... And since I plan to give you more as you use them that's going to be a long time.

[At least as long as this place allows them to.]

Well, let's then just keep it at.. I guess I don't mind spending a long time with you. [ not in the Persona social link max sense, okay, don't misunderstand!! ]

Is that what you wanted to hear, huh?

[At least it's not in the Persona social link reversed sense, right?]

It's nice to hear it. And reassuring, but even if you had said otherwise I would have insisted. We both are pretty stubborn at that after all.

[ never reversing this in the social link sense. :| ]

Of course. Ah, how bothersome, two incredibly stubborn people clashing like this. I wonder if one could even win in a situation like that. [ diverting the subject away from her dere a little.. ]

Does one have to win anyway? Isn't it okay to just tie?

[He would love to tie with you Ange. He's very skilled in the use of ropes even.]

[ save that for Haruhi, okay, Ange isn't into that sort of thing.. ]

Oh, how are we supposed to tie then if we're both stubbornly trying to get our own point across? Agree to disagree, or something like that?

[ not that she means it, because.. well, she actually agrees with him, she's just tsundere. ]

Kind of, nothing wrong with being in disagreement if we ever be. So far we haven't really been in disagreement, though, have we?

I don't think we have. At least not on anything important enough to remember, either way.

[ she finishes her drink now, putting down the cup next to her. for a few moments she just quietly watches the snow. ]

... Ah, you know what.. [ from the way she's talking - even if it's her usual tone - it's easy to notice she's going to be kidding. ] Maybe I should start using those coins of yours quicker before we start to disagree on everything. Wouldn't want our agreement streak to be broken.

[Do you want to get rid of him that much?]

It's an idea. But you could also just ask me to never disagree with you by just wasting one of them.

[ LKGJKDFK IT WAS JUST A JOKE she actually wants to stay by his side forever okay.. doki doki uguu and all of that. ]

No, I'll definitely never do that. [ and even though it was all just joking, she seems pretty serious now. ] I don't want to stick around a guy who is forced to agree with everything I say, that's no good at all. It would make me no better than some witch.

I know. You're not that kind of girl, you're much better and special.

[Don't mind the brief second in which a hand travels to brush a hair lock behind your ear, it was just getting on his nerves, it's not as if he was caressing you or anything. Keiichi finishes his own cocoa and looks at the scenery a bit more.]

We should get inside now, before we get a cold.

[ Yes, of course he isn't caressing her, of course not. And it's not like it makes her heart skip a beat either or something like that, especially not in combination with what he said, not at all.

Except it does, and for a moment she's too speechless to answer what he says before blinking herself out of it. At least she manages to not blush this time. ]

You can't catch a cold, remember? They always say idiots don't catch colds. ... But yeah, let's go.

[He laughs.]

Yeah, you're right. I didn't catch a cold when I slept outside as a bear, so why would I do so now. But you can, and I don't want that to happen.

[He gets up, picking up the cups and offering her to help with the blankets.]

[ It's okay, Keiichi, she can do this much by herself. Look, she's already carrying all of it. :| ]

It won't happen. If I somehow manage to catch a cold after all, you can blame it all on me.

Wait, wait, I can't do that. Remember? We can only blame and take responsibility for things we are really at fault and our own actions. Blaming you for catching a cold because your body has that tendency isn't fair.

Ah, you're bringing that line back?

[ she shifts her hold on the blankets a little so she's able to carry them more easily. ]

The twist is though that I never said it counted for me as well, Keiichi.

Aaaah, so that's the trick, isn't it? Then maybe I should do it too, after all, it's not as if you used a coin to force me to not blame myself or take responsibility of things that aren't my fault unless I create some convoluted reasoning.

[Back inside the warm house, even with the blankets and the hot cocoa it's appreciated to be back in.]

Maybe I should have done that after all then, huh? [ it's another joke, though. ]

... Seriously, with the way you keep talking about these coins it's like I have the power to force you into absolute obedience. Do you want to be my slave or something that badly?

Nah, that's why they are coins, remember? If you want to make me your complete slave you'll have to use a lot of coins then, and since they are coins it's just payment. So it's more like me wanting to be your full-time employee for as long as it's possible.

My full-time employee for as long as possible..

[ she makes a near-amused sound, if only because it makes her think of.. ]

Ah, at least you're a lot more tolerable than that guy, and not half as obnoxious. So I wouldn't particularly mind that.

That guy?

[Waaaait... No, it doesn't matter, he's not going to be that type of guy.]

You had a full-time employee back at Earth then?

[ see, you're already a little less high on the tsundere scale than Amakusa, Keiichi. she's full blown out tsundere with that guy. ]

Yeah. I was assigned a bodyguard since I'm apparently such a popular girl. [ it's sarcasm. ] So that guy had to go with me everywhere all the time, but he was just really annoying about all of it and kept making inappropriate remarks and all that.

Sounds like a hassle. For you, not for him, he had an enviable job. Hope he did a good one as well.

[At least until Bernkastel interfered.]

well it's not going to work [Action]

why not... [Action]

'cause Keiichi is too derp to notice he's hurting her [Action]

she'll just suffer.. alone... [Action]

that can be fixed if she comes to his arms, no more suffering or alone [Action]

f-fine.. she'll come to his arms.. don't think too much of it.. [Action]

it's Keiichi, he rarely really thinks unless it's vitally important [Action]

well that's good, that means he can't think too much of it either!! [Action]

exactly so don't worry at all and just stay here between his arms [Action]

w-well.. it /is/ a little nice and comfy.. [Action]

/cuddling her happily [Action]

/relunctantly.. sinks into grasp.. n//n [Action]

/all the love for Ange [Action]

how does she handle all this love.. [Action]

accepting it of course [Action]

dflkgjjkf but what after she accepts it!! [Action]

return it, of course! Then he can return it back and so forth [Action]

maybe she thinks that sounds a little nice, okay!! [Action]

what's wrong with it sounding nice? [Action]

... nothing.. she just has to.. give in to it.. [Action]

yush, give in to it Ange, you'll love it [Action]

she will soon and you know it!! [Action]

I can't wait ;; [Action]

it'll be beautiful, don't worry.. nothing will hurt anymore.. [Action]

and then Marion brings Bern back[Action]
