[ She frowns. She understands that, but if he makes his wound worse, how is that going to help anything? ]

... As long as you don't make it worse.

[soba]

I won't.

[ if he dies via soccer ball he would be so mad

but he manages to get the ball and walks back over. ]

How have you been handling the week?

[sadiskick]

[ ... ]

Nicolas Brown confronted me yesterday.

[ So that was fun. ]

[soba]

[ ... hmm.

he can't say that he's surprised that someone would have, after how the trial ended. ]

What happened?

[sadiskick]

[ Yeah, she wasn't too surprised either. She just would have been fine going without doing that. She isn't afraid of confrontation. She's just a little existentially tired. ]

He pointed a sword at me and said some things. With his actual voice.

[ So you knew he was serious. ]

It ended fine.

[ No injuries from that, amazingly. And obviously, since I didn't have to update you about it sweats ]

[soba]

[ that's a mood ]

Do you think the chances of him doing something like that again are high?

[sadiskick]

[ She looks thoughtful. She doesn't know Nic well at all, but considering he confronted her but didn't actually try to cut her down then and there... ]

Medium. He could be waiting until I'm more off guard.

[soba]

[ he nods his head. he doesn't know much about nic other than what he sees during trial, so he really doesn't know what to expect there. ]

Mm. Be careful then.

[sadiskick]

[ She waves a hand. Or like a sleeve. Since her sleeves continue to cover her hands always. ]

I have no intention of dying.

[soba]

I know.

But it's hard to predict other people.

[sadiskick]

Do you think I would be the type to go down easily?

[ She was basically created to be a weapon. ]

[soba]

No. But I do know that there are people here who have things like shotguns, and other weapons, and if there's more than one person who's thinking along the lines that he is...

Just, be careful.

[sadiskick]

[ ... ]

Are you worried about me?

[ She sounds uncertain about that. ]

[soba]

[ he blinks in surprise

don't be so blunt about it?? ]

... I'd prefer if something didn't happen.

[sadiskick]

[ She needs to be, so she can understand? Suffer the consequences for making her want to understand more.

For making her care more. ]

That's what I want, too. [ But she's too realistic to think nothing will happen.

She sighs and in the next instant, she kicks the soccer ball that Toi retrieved high into the air. ]

[soba]

[ he watches it, trying to judge where it'll land. he's pretty good at this, at least. ]

You said you have a sister?

[sadiskick]

[ She is going to call him stupid if he tries to catch it with his chest again, but it's meant to land straight in front of him. ]

I have four. I don't like all of them.

[ Or any of them sometimes, is what her tone implies. ]

[soba]

[ it's fine, it bounces on his knee, and then slides down his leg until it reaches the crook of where his ankle meets his foot. he balances it there. ]

Were you ever close?

[sadiskick]

[ How does she answer this question? ]

I got closer to one of them.

[soba]

That's... good?

[ it comes out as a question because he does not know if it's good or not

but he'll kick the ball over to her ]

[sadiskick]

It shows she's grown. She was self-absorbed.

[ It shows that Meltryllis has grown, too, but she won't admit that.

She stops the ball easily and kicks it—taps it (she's learning) back to him. ]

[soba]

That's annoying to deal with...

[ one day, she will be able to play soccer on a team

but he backs up a bit to catch it. ]</small? Older or younger?

[sadiskick]

[ rip francy's html ]

I thought so, too.

[ What Meltryllis isn't telling Toi is that she's also self-absorbed. ]

She's younger. She's the opposite of me in a lot of ways.

[soba]

[ ARA STOP ]

Opposite... is she also a Servant?

[sadiskick]

Yes. All my sisters are. They're all divine, too.
