Last year, it was the red ones that were pestering me. That, at least, made sense.

[She's not entirely sure what changed.]

[holdshisown]

Oh? Perhaps they thought they'd got it out of your system?

[Or maybe she'd changed somewhat since last year?]

[itstillhurt]

Unlikely.

[And my goodness but she sounds butter when she says that.]

It was also easier to appease the little nuisances. A good spar with a skilled partner did the trick with the red ones, unlike these things.

[... And now she's dwelling on Rokurou's absence, and the debt she was never able to repay. Ah, wonderful. Even as she thinks it, some of the little white creatures floating around them seem to drift away from her with quiet chirps of dismay- apparently this is the wrong energy for their tastes. She huffs in frustration and glares at one of them.]

[holdshisown]

Perhaps.

[It was just a thought anyways.]

I can see how that would be easier to solve. Sparring is much more straightforward in that way.

[And he'd always been good at that. He'd used to be good at social interactions as well, he still was in some ways, but it had no longer come quite as naturaly to him as it had before Angband and all that came after it.]

[itstillhurt]

I'm sure most people have little trouble appeasing these pests.

[Boy, the bitter sure happened there. She tries again with a more neutral, light tone.]

But I can't imagine why they think I'm a good source. It's almost funny.

[See? See how amused she is? How amused and totally not bothered?]
