omg it must be! but it's always so cool how they manage to make complex worlds with their words, you know? it almost makes you feel like you're in them, sometimes.
Mr. Chuuya, I have something I must discuss with you. But before that, I need you to understand that this means absolutely nothing vis-a-vis our earlier conversation about wishing for an elder sister. Are we clear?
[ there's a bit of a pause before the next response comes in - halfway between sheepish and delighted. ]
I appear to have been mistaken in a dreadfully embarrassing sort of fashion. It seems, upon reflection, that I am at the very least capable of romantic interest in one woman in particular.
Oh, good grief! Does she have no tact? And further, why in the heavens would she need to ask?? I'd thought there was little room for misinterpretation on either side!
For what it's worth, I told her I wasn't the best person to go to for love advice. Anyway, we talked more about how it's perfectly natural and in the future it becomes more publicly accepted etc. etc. She didn't tell me any sordid details.
Well, of course you aren't. I could have told her that much had she thought to ask.
[ w o w ]
Is that so? Well, that's all well and good. I suppose she is the sort to care about that kind of thing.
At the very least she didn't go into details, then? That much is a relief. I hadn't thought her the type to kiss and tell. Then again, I hadn't thought her the tea party type either, and look where that got us.
What sort of lout do you take me for?! I have no intent to share such sordid details with a ne'er-do-well like you! I should have known coming to you with such an admission would be a mistake. Honestly, what an inconvenience!
[ and then, a good thirty seconds later: ]
So, I suppose that means you've taken her in, then?
I'm glad you have at least some sense. I was starting to worry, you know.
However! Be careful not to let her lull you into a false sense of security. Remember, even ignoring her time travel or whatever you wish to call it, she has practiced extensively against the most fearsome competition in Japan! If you let your guard down for even a second, she will fleece you for every ounce you're worth!
[ even though he's only seen her once, it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine the blush across her cheeks and the smile she's trying incredibly hard to hold back. ]
