She's Fine Too, Thanks

[As Willis walks up and about, resuming his usual behavior, the other person who made a miraculous recovery is quietly sipping tea.
...Oh, she had a bit of squirming metal stabbed straight through her ankle, and somehow teleported twice during the battle. Nothing, really.]

Well Mistress, I would say that went well. No-one seems to have noticed your...indiscretion.



Y-yes, indeed...nobody at all...



...You can't seriously be upset...


But I tried so hard! I even let some of my many secrets slip, and dropped hints about my dark and mysterious past!
*sniff*
...I'm never going to be cool...

[She continues sobbing quietly into the tea.]

...Maybe?

[abugslife]

[Deep, focused stare. Just for a moment.]

...In any case, there is no point in getting concerned with being "cool". Be good at what you do and impressing others, if it really is what you care about, will happen naturally, without any conscious effort put into it.

Do you happen to have more tea?

[way_of_vengeance]

I guess so...I just want to be a cool antihero too, you know?

Oh, Sayo, could you-

[The maid dutifully pours another glass of tea for the ambassador.]

[abugslife]

Cool? Antihero? Neither of these words fits me. Nor does "hero".

[Hetepheres sips her tea, but not before adding a blasphemous amount of sugar to it.]

I am simply a soldier, trying to act in the best interest of both of our species. Which includes stopping fools from both from wrecking everything.

[way_of_vengeance]

Well...I guess that's pretty cool too, in its own way.

[Sayo gives a sigh of relief.]

But it's still not very romantic.

[abugslife]

Romance is overrated. If you are not careful, it will lead you to foolish decisions you shall regret later, when your head is not full of blissful vapors anymore.
