Albel Nox, Commander of the Dragon Brigade (AU)

Heh.

How're things goin' with Sheifa?

From:

... Does everyone know about that?

From:

Anyone payin' attention, really. Being your roommate kinda helps, too.

From:

Things seem to be going pretty well, really. ~~We're past the shouting-at-each-other phase, anyway.~~

From:

Good to hear. ~~That's always a blast, eh?~~

From:

~~She was looking for you when she showed up, actually. Apparently she forgot that you and I are roommates. But it all worked out in the end.~~

From:

~~Huh. Glad I was out doin' my business, then.~~

From:

Why is it like pulling teeth to get you to tell the truth about Sheifa?

What do you feel for Sheifa?

What's your favorite color?

From:

... How did you manage to pick up that figure of speech and still manage to miss the answers to those first two questions? I have to admit, we probably weren't all that subtle. ~~Then again, this is the girl who had to ask what "blushing" was...~~

Black and red, mostly.

From:

Because that's what the cop was yelling about me when I wouldn't answer his questions after I got caught stealing food before they put me in the cell and I escaped.

If it supposed to be that obvious, why not just tell me?

From:

Because it's only obvious to someone who's actually seen us. Or heard us, I guess. ~~Considering a lot of people probably heard us shouting earlier.~~

[Screened to Dani]
I'm in love with her, all right?
[/Screened]

From:

It is...?

.....

I have to ask again. You're sure you're not a psycho stalker, right?

From:

... You know, I think you're the only person who's ever accused me of being a psycho stalker, let alone twice. No, I'm not.

Believe me, this is Sheifa. If she didn't like me being around her, we'd have heard about it by now.

From:

I have bad experiences when it comes to 'love.' Especially when it concerns adults.

You listen to her? Then a definite sign you're not a psycho stalker!

From:

... And that's one of those things I know better than to ask about.

If I was a stalker, she wouldn't tolerate being anywhere near me. The whole blushing and stuttering and not-looking-at-Albel thing should probably have been a hint. If I was a stalker, I kind of expect she would have done a bit more shouting for help and less stuttering. And she would probably have tried to kill me, or at least scare me enough that I quit.

From:

It's a long story anyway.

Well, then that's good to know!

So if you both love each other and know it, why not just say it?

From:

We have. Just not right then, because we didn't both know it at that point. I know I was pretty much clueless.

From:

But wasn't it obvious?

From:

It's amazing how oblivious people can be when they're in love. Or trying to tell themselves they aren't.

From:

Why wouldn't you want to be in love?

From:

Uh... Remember when I said blushing was complicated? Well, love's more complicated. It's just... one of those things, I guess. You'll find out eventually. At the time I thought I was in love with someone else, more or less.

From:

...what's wrong with being in love with two people?

From:

It's, uh... You'll figure it out when you're older.

From:

But then I'll keep misunderstanding.

Explain.

From:

Okay, there's different... kinds of love, I guess. And some kinds are only supposed to happen between two people. If you put a third person in, things get really awkward unless all three of them - and everyone around them - are very understanding.

From:

...so, like a mommy and daddy kind of love?

From:

Uh, more or less.

From:

So....what about this other girl?

From:

It's... not important now. She isn't here, anyway. The odds are probably against her ever being brought here.

From:

Murphy's Law.

Does she love you?

From:

I'm... not really sure. I thought so, but...

Why am I discussing this with a prepubescent girl who can turn intangible?

From:

If you're not sure...

Then be sure who you love more.

And when she does come, be honest.

Or it will turn out very badly.

Because I am naive about love and think lying is unneeded so I am trustworthy and straight forward about this?

....where the heck did that come from?

From:

I'm sure who I love more. I'm not sure what she thinks.

... Why are you asking me? You're the one who said it.

From:

Well, just be honest! If you lie, it makes the heartbreak hurt more!

...he did seem long winded sometimes...

From:

I wasn't planning to lie. ~~Just avoid mentioning it until it's absolutely necessary.~~

((OOC: Strikes illegible.))

From:

Good. It's better to be upfront with her right away.

From:

Right. ~~You have a serious knack for sending people on guilt trips, you know that?~~

From:

Great!
