-- no... ... well, rather, yes, but not exactly as you imagine! Ugh, rather I meant to say -- I listened for some word of assent, as per your theory on such matters, before embracing, even though were it up to my own theories, all maidens belong to the King.
[ ... although he was still Pretty Gross, well, u know. ]
Stupid woman, do you see anyone else coming to our residence without your allowance? We already spoke about this. Ugh.
That is beside the point for now. My point is I have not exercised force thus far in this world, despite many opportunities to do so, because I know it would damage your image of me, and I wish to live up to that image, even if you are the only one who knows that I have such a wish. Simply, I find it is unbearable to be on the other end of your censure and to risk damaging your love.
It wouldn't damage my image of you. I see your interests plenty clearly.
[Shen smiles, a little bit.]
Sometimes I'll get mad at you, or I'll be hurt. But it would take quite a lot to make me stop loving you entirely, I promise. ...but, it makes me happy, to hear you value my opinion so much. Thank you, Gil.
--ah. Indeed... you would... well, I am not mysterious. Yet, I do not know how you are not appalled. Our beliefs clash on such matters. Are you not some person who believes that other beings have value? Ugh... I do not know why I am discussing this. I had thought I was simply going to look at your nude body on exhibit, but somehow now I am talking of such matters, you wicked woman.
Well, some of your beliefs are appalling, I'll grant you that, but... because I believe that people have value, I can value you just the same. You're more than just what you say, after all.
As to the matter from before, I have already given you primacy. Your hair may be as commonly brown as a peasant. Such matters no longer matter to me. You are my partner now.
... though I quite like this look. Hm. I will not deny. Nevertheless, I pledged to you first. All others must accept that.
I do not go back on my pledges. After all, we are properly to wed in front of all in this world who might attend and link arms together, are we not?
Aahhh. This conversation has made me quite impatient. Would that we were embracing now! I should be properly holding you, not out in such a confused and foolish situation, even if I might in other circumstances enjoy a quest.
Indeed, that is correct. Everything is for the King, as it should be. But, well, to answer your question, I would be doing what is most pleasing to you in order that I may drink your sweet nectar.
-- well, unless it were something maidenly that does not satisfy a man's desires.
[She lets her fingers trail down, slipping them underneath the loose cover of the towel. Her hand shift, and her head falls back a bit, even as her voice remains steady.]
Oh yeah? Would you make me stand again, or could I sit this time?
[ he reclines and unceremoniously angles the video where Hakuno can see him better as well -- wearing some loose-fitting robe for sleep, no doubt, which shifts around the chest and shoulders as he shifts position. that glint in his eyes indicates that any clothing items are in the likelihood of being removed soon, but she probably already knew that. she knows his proclivities all too well -- ]
A lot has changed since then, hasn't it? I recall very well our surprise on finding out the circumstances here and the necessary means of regaining our powers. Ah -- it's still very different after that Moon Cell, which diluted all my tastes.
As you are fond of saying, there were other much more pressing matters. Hmph, after all, you failed to adequately swoon at my glory despite many powerful Cast Offs!
You are my equal except for the part where you are still not me. [ it makes sense because he makes the rules, okok!! ] Do you not recall telling me you had fewer interests and less ambition? Then you must rectify such things. There remains space for you to grow and to go farther.
But enough of such mongrel conversation. Were you not planning to show me something?

Hmm, well... hmph. To tell you the truth, I recently encountered my ideal image of a woman here.
[ ... bluntly, when speaking to his partner??? ]
I happened to remember her from another summoning. What do you think I did? You know me well.

[She fidgets, pushing back her hair and...
...
...suddenly, she feels a bit small and silly, like some wannabe Cinderella.]
...I imagine you proposed on the spot and tried to bed her.

[She taps her chin thoughtfully.]
I think a softer approach can pay off a lot. Are you happy with the result? Do you... want to discuss taking another bride?
