[He's lucky she can't hear his thoughts, else she'd really warm herself up by working on a few training moves with her staff and using him as the dummy. She'd only become aware of having any feelings for him just last night, and right now she's still only processing them. And it's a lot. A lot. Like feelings for Marui snuck up on her out of nowhere, when she thought she'd only ever have feelings for Jude. And she can't make heads or tails of what that means for how she perceives her relationship with Jude. It's actually troubling her, despite her knowing that Jude's heart is reserved for someone else.

And yet... being held by Marui, she can't help but feel this is something she's always wanted to experience from the object of her affection. To be held like this from someone so clearly concerned about her well-being. It's not that Jude doesn't take care of her in his own way, but it's never felt like this. And probably... could never feel like this.

But enjoying this even a little makes her feel guilty. So she's at least thankful when he asks her something completely unrelated. Even if it takes her a moment to gather her thoughts and shift to a less troubling topic.]

Actually, I thought that was the only option. I don't know much about Japan or what its technology is like, but it sounds similar to Elympios, so what is available here is still kinda a downgrade- like you have to fill a bathtub with water using buckets. Although now I hear there are crystals that act as electricity? [it's fairly new, so she doesn't know much other than that.] When I move, I'm gonna look for something like that. Why? Thinking about upgrading?
