Well, it'll make more of an impact coming from him, wouldn't it? I'm not the one you like.

[coastal]

No... but the last person that I liked was never so rude to me in the first place!

[preowned]

Perhaps this is a...

[ he pauses, like he's searching for a word that he doesn't actually use but heard somewhere. ]

Kink?

[coastal]

.... a what.

[preowned]

A kink. You know, like a preference.



[ he seems to not be comprehending the full meaning of this word ]

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

Maybe it is?

[i hate this so much]

Isn’t that kind of just the way that he is though?

[preowned]

Well, something about him as to appeal to you, right?

[coastal]

[ . . . .

she looks away immediately]

Let’s have a different conversation.

[preowned]

[




he moves so he can see her face ]

[coastal]

[SHE TURNS THE OTHER WAY]

Of course I have my reasons for liking him! Don’t make it weird!

[preowned]

I told you things about Lune.

[ he was very gay and for free? ]

[coastal]

[sdlkfjsdlkj]

Well - it’s... ugh!! Fine...

[SHE’S STILL FLUSTERED]

But you can’t tell him anything I say or I’ll beat you up!

[it costs a lot more for lili to be straight]

[preowned]

I won't. He wouldn't even listen to me anyway.

[ he would 100% walk out of the conversation as soon as tsuru opened his mouth ]

[1/2]

[coastal]

[she seems to consider that

before nodding]

Well... he is a really cool person. He reminds me a little bit of someone - but he possesses his own ideals and sticks to them. Even if other people might find him difficult to work with - I don’t think that really matters, because it’s not like his heart has ever failed to be in the right place?

Sometimes he’s frustrating and impossible but - he won’t condemn anyone unfairly.

I don’t really... meet people like that in country. Who have the power to act out their will, but actually do so without being deplorable or abusing the weak, even if their actions aren’t popular.

[how to woo lili: an unwavering sense of justice and being a little aggressive about it]

[coastal]

[a beat]

He’s also unreasonably hot.

[preowned]

[ he nods along, because all of that sounds right. they're reasons he's pretty fond of kara as well

and then she gets to the last thing. ]

Is he?

[coastal]

Yes.

[SHE ANSWERS THAT SO FAST]

It’s so unfair!! It’s not like soldiers aren’t going to be strong, but to be attractive on top of being a good person?! What the hell?!

[preowned]

[ this is so funny ]

I suppose he is attractive, yes.

[ he has never thought of kara that way ]

[coastal]

He is! He’s easily as handsome as Lord Geun-Tae! Easily! And I never thought I’d ever say such a thing!!

[SHE’S SUFFERING]

And he likes me?! Isn’t this situation way too impossible?!

[preowned]

Is it? You're rather cute, so I don't see how it's that impossible...

[ who the fuck is geun-tae but tsuru is not interested enough there to ask ]

[coastal]

I know that but—

Oh, and thank you.

[SHE BARELY REMEMBERED TO BE POLITE]

It still doesn’t feel real... I’m happy - but it’s surprising.

[preowned]

... I can't really pretend to fully understand relationships of this nature.

[ he can't compare his relationship with lune to others, since they're. both swords and themselves. ]

But it seems like these kinds of things often come as a surprise.

[coastal]

Well... maybe sincere ones do.

[she’ll admit that, but she’ll just shrug]

I just always figured I’d be stuck in an arranged marriage one day - but now I have to put that off as long as I can.

[preowned]

Oh. Are you and Kara-bou going to get married?
