[ how interesting... ]

How are you feeling?

Hot. But I already told you I can handle it.

[ i feel as though this is something i should ~take responsibility~ for ]

Would you like some water? A bath?

[are you sure you didn't know about the aphrodisiacs]

...You've already watched me bathe once.

[ i'm not that mean a person okay i wouldn't have brought you one at all if that were the case ]

I do not have to attend you, if you'd prefer.

...It's cool. I'm fine.

[ ... looking at him, a resigned sort of smile on his face ]

Are you absolutely certain, Tsuyukusa?

I'm a little old to let being turned on really keep me from acting normal.

I meant no disrespect.

[ but if you're okay then

i guess i can continue on having a normal conversation with you ]

I take it things have been alright here? My scouts reported no strange activity, but I thought it best to see for myself.

You don't need to be so respectful. It's just me.

[but yes okay normal conversation.]

We've been doing okay, yeah. Things have quieted down a bit, otherwise I'd probably have come to you.

I see. I'm glad for that. Perhaps the threat has been neutralized already.

[ and he really does look relieved, shoulders slumping slightly. ]

Will you wander off again? There are many forests in this land. I imagine it would take some time to navigate through all of them.

[blinks, then cracks up]

That's what you think I'm doing? Some sort of grand forest tour?

You said you were a wanderer, did you not?

[ a smiling Tsuyukusa has him smiling right back, expression brightening a little ]

Yeah, but it's not like I have plans.

[ so would you say you were

rootless ]

You simply go where you wish?

[die]

Pretty much. If you want me to stick around I will, at least for a while longer.

The choice is entirely up to you. I would not mind it, however, if you wish to stay.

[ how's that aphro treating you... ]

[it's being a jerk. he's getting fidgety atop the boulder, and going kind of red, but he seems to be keeping his focus all right past that.]

Mm, okay. I'll come say goodbye when I decide to leave.

[ you're a real trooper

and if he notices this he's gonna be polite and... pretend... he isn't ... but Tsuyukusa does still get a look. ]

Please see that you do.

[hey why with the look i'm doing just fine]

...What.

[ that does not look like the face of someone that is doing just fine... ]

Nothing.

[ he's dealt with your kind before, though, he deals with it every time he decides to come out to the forest alone ]

Right.

[ ...

nodding at him, then. ]

Goodbye, then.

[ and then... going back... ]

[WELP I SURE FUCKED THAT UP

TIME TO GO JUMP IN THE LAKE!!!]

[ g-god you're so cute ;;

HE'S ACTUALLY probably going to. stay away from the forest. because diplomacy and all that and kingdom running

so you won't see him for like a week...

maybe he died... ]
