Day 29

[fanstheflames]

[ DING DING DING RINGING THE BELL because she doesn't trust that Kleken won't just leave her on read if she texts him-- ]

[thisisalie]

[ Tsuruno plz ]

I see you've hit the gong.

[fanstheflames]

[ is she wrong ]

Mm! How are you, Kleken?

[thisisalie]

[ That is besides the point. Also he looks bright and awake. ]

Exceedingly tired. And yourself?

[fanstheflames]

Glad to hear it. I think my fever broke at some crazy hour of the night, so I'm okay now.

[ And apparently as chipper as usual. ]

[thisisalie]

You certainly look better. Do you have a plan for any future unfortunate circumstances now?

[fanstheflames]

Call Navi.

[ geez. ]

[thisisalie]

What a wonderful plan.

[ :) ]

Now then, have you come for a token?

[fanstheflames]

Oh-- no. I forgot you did that.

[ TSURUNO. ]

I came to tell you what a great person you are!

[thisisalie]

[ TSURUNO. ]

I see.



And how many tokens would you like?

[ Maybe if we pretend that wasn't the discussion point we can move on from it- ]

[fanstheflames]

[ We cannot. ]

You can give me a task when I'm done. So as I was saying, now that I'm fully recovered and not feverish at all, I can tell you to your face that you are an absolute challenge to understand! I've never had as much trouble figuring out how to navigate a talk with a person as I have with you!

[ What happened to him being a great person-- ]

[thisisalie]

[ This is a much more acceptable line of conversation though. ]

Oh, I'm flattered in that case.

[fanstheflames]

[ TOO BAD BECAUSE IT'S OVER NOW. ]

But I've learned that it's worth all the trouble getting through all of that, because you're actually like-- someone who's sneaky about caring but caring all the same! And when I do figure it out, what you're not actually saying, it feels amazing!

Basically, I can't call you a good person without acknowledging that you're also exhausting, but you're worth it!

[thisisalie]

[ He can't believe he walked right into that verbal trap. ]

So about the exchange rate of tokens...

[fanstheflames]

Is getting a compliment really that hard for you?

[thisisalie]

I'm an ungracious accepter of compliments.

[fanstheflames]

Why? [ She's just slowly tilting her head. ]

I mean, you're not like the people who get mad about it, but I still don't really get it.

[thisisalie]

Because I naturally must suspect your reasonings for such compliments, but I also think I know you well enough to say you don't have any particular malicious reasons behind them.

[fanstheflames]

[ "Naturally", huh.

Her face falls a little. ]

I don't, definitely... but if that's something you have to suspect, I'm pretty sure other people have said that you too. Maybe a lot.

... I'm glad you believe me, though.

[thisisalie]

[ Maybe we should never let you off the ship in Umbraton. ]

Oh, previous people were hardly that sort of type.

[fanstheflames]

[ Only let her off the ship if she has an escort who is a lot more savvy. ]

... You're saying you didn't have very many people who said nice things about you at all?

[ THIS IS SO SAD KLEKEN ]

[thisisalie]

[ Tsuruno please he's from Umbraton!! ]

I've been told I'm very attractive physically.

[fanstheflames]

[ Huh. She tilts her head. ]

Well, you are. But stuff like that is kinda shallow to me.

[thisisalie]

That still qualifies as something nice though.

[fanstheflames]

[ this bar is low. ]

You're also a lot more than that, though.
