Oh!

[ crap now it's too late to run without making this even more awkward ]

Um... hi...

[mustbepurged]

Hi...

[Wow, the awkwardness is contagious.]

I, um... Today was just terrible, wasn't it...

[unbested]

Y-yeah... it wasn't great.

[mustbepurged]

[...]

I... I still think you're wrong about Sieghart.

But we don't have to talk about that if you don't want to. Truthfully, I just... I was hoping we could be friends.

[unbested]

[ He blinks. ]

Oh...! Yeah, uh. Of course.

[ Official friends... ]

...Why do you have so much faith in him?

[mustbepurged]

Well, because... first of all, he was really kind to me.

A-and there's that picture! He was carrying a picture of a group of people from the last place he was in, the school... and one of my closest friends was in it, and they all looked happy...

He must have kept it because he cared about them.

[ He frowns listening to this, not sure what to make of it. He'd already been confused the first time they'd talked, when he'd gotten whiplash from him being a pompous immortal jerk one minute to acting like a shounen mentor the next, but this is really taking it to another level. ]

But then why... I asked him why he didn't tell his wife he wasn't really dead when it had to be hurting her a lot, and he just said he "didn't feel like it"! A-and then killing someone like Flayn and lying about it, and...

[ Then stabbing a guy in the face in front of all of them... ]

I don't get it.

[mustbepurged]

I don't know the reasons for everything he did, so I can't answer that... but...

I think he's the kind of person who tries to act strong and aloof, so people can't tell what he's really feeling.
