Comments

[dawnblushed]

No.

[...well.]

It's not because my name came up, anyway.

[soulus]

Then what is it?

[dawnblushed]

...Virid was nice to me, so I didn't think he would... do something like that. I feel like I misjudged him.

[soulus]

. . . Allow me to advise you. As long as this competition is in play, you shouldn't have expectations of anyone.

[dawnblushed]

[hm.]

How much do I owe you for that advice?

[soulus]

Suggestions cost nothing.

[dawnblushed]

Really? In that case, thanks.

[soulus]

Thanks are unnecessary. I'm only telling you what works for me.

[dawnblushed]

...so you don't have any expectations of anyone at all?

[soulus]

No.

When you have expectations, you feel betrayed once they're not met.

[dawnblushed]

...that sort of sounds like a lonely way to live, Rufus.

[soulus]

I prefer to be alone.

[dawnblushed]

Really?

[soulus]

Yes.

[dawnblushed]

[


she wants to ask why he's here right now if he prefers to be alone but she feels like if she does that he'll leave so she just keeps her mouth shut.]

[soulus]

[He can take the hint, and that means he'll leave anyway.]

Excuse me.

[dawnblushed]

[NOOOO JAE OUR PC]

[dawnblushed]

Wait-- I didn't say you needed to leave!

[soulus]

You won't be able to practice if you stand here, talking to me.

[dawnblushed]

I can practice and talk! Watch!

[SHOOTS THE TREE.]

[soulus]

What does that do for me?

[dawnblushed]

Well, you came here for a reason, so it means you don't have to leave just because someone else was here.

[soulus]

I came to look around. It's time that I moved on.

[dawnblushed]

[Yona sighs and lowers her bow.]

...fine then. See you around.
