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?

[coastal]

[SHE CHOKES ON HER NEXT SIP OF TEA]

[preowned]

[ oh

he pats her back ]

[coastal]

[SHE’S COUGHING PLENTY

she’ll cover her mouth because she’s a lady

but then RASPY YELL AT HIM]

D-Don’t ask stupid things like that!!

[preowned]

Eh... you're the one who brought up marriages...

[coastal]

It’s not like that!!

[sdlkfjsdf UGH]

What do swords even know about marriage anyway?

[preowned]

It's the union between two people, right?

[ don't ask him what else happens he just knows the basics and what he's learned from otomes ]

[coastal]

Sure... but it’s not that easy - especially not for nobility.

[grumbling.... he gave her a heart attack over nothing]

It’s not something to take lightly.

[preowned]

Would you like to get married?

[ he's the worst person to discuss this with ]

[coastal]

In general? I don’t really care.

[she shrugs]

But if I do, I’d like it to be someone whose company I actually enjoy - but it’s hard to say if that’s what my father intends.

Maybe I can just keeping using the king as my own cover now...

[preowned]

[ he can't say it's something he's thought about. even when trying to figure out romance and relationships, something that's as human as marriage sounds way too impossible ]

Politics are messy no matter where it is, huh...

I do hope you get to find your own happiness.

[coastal]

It’s not like I can be locked up anymore so... even if some things are inconvenient or boring, I’m pretty content.

[at the end of the day, it really doesn’t take much to appease her]

But if you can avoid politics ever, I’d recommend it. It’s never worth the time put into it.

[preowned]

Ah... politics were the cause of many of my masters' deaths, so it's not something I'm too interested in.

I'm more suited for the battlefield.

[coastal]

Mm... I’m envious of you both for that, sometimes.

[she wishes she was suited for the battlefield...]
