It's pretty....I wish Heart Soldier could have something like this.

[artisticliberty]

You could, perhaps. But you are welcome here whenever you like.

[gently squeezes]

I have been spending a lot of time drawing koi fish.

[mapsio]

Koi fish, hmmm?

[ Leaning back on him, relaxing finally. ]

[artisticliberty]

[kisses her cheek]

They are quite elegant creatures, in my opinion. Would you like to feed them?

[mapsio]

[ ...nod nod nod.


successful distraction GO. ]

I would.

[artisticliberty]

[gets some fish food for them to feed the koi.

the koi immediately all huddle around them going :O :O :O :O :O :O :O with their big fish mouths]

[mapsio]

[ ....CUTE.


Haru tries to imitate the face. ]

[artisticliberty]

[fox chuckles]

Are you trying to become a fish?

[mapsio]

It would be helpful right now.

[artisticliberty]

To swim among them, not a care in the world? I feel that way too, sometimes.

But I am glad to be here with you, instead.

[mapsio]

I just wanted to help my team earlier...I'm not sure if I did at this point.

[artisticliberty]

I cannot imagine you putting in a half-hearted effort towards something like that.

[mapsio]

Of course I didn't half heart it.

[ Sighing. ] It's come to the point where I don't think I will be able to say I will try my hardest tp protect my friends and my unit. And I hate it. I really hate it.

[artisticliberty]

Why can you not say it?

[mapsio]

Because it will make people unhappy. It seems.

[artisticliberty]

Who is unhappy with you?

[do i need to fight hss]

[mapsio]

I think...all of us are unhappy with our seeming inability to agree on how to play.

[artisticliberty]

Were you not all able to come to an agreement on how to play?

[mapsio]

We agreed this time that we couldn't go back on protecting ourselves.


But not without it feeling bad.

[artisticliberty]

[shifts so he can rest his chin on her shoulder]

It is a difficult decision to make... but it is progress.

[mapsio]

There were things...difficult to hear too. How do you deal with handling someone telling you that you sold them glass as diamonds, in regards to "family".

[artisticliberty]

[narrows his eyes...]









[wait]

I do not think I understand the metaphor.

[mapsio]

Like...someone sold you glass cut in the shape of a diamond. Told you it was a diamond, but it was really glass all along. So... selling the idea of unit as a family, we cannot unify, so therefore the diamond...is just glass.



Confusing right?

[artisticliberty]

Yes. And inaccurate.

[mapsio]

You're making a face, darling.
