H-hey. Are you—shouldn’t you be with your parents? Your dad was saying something about a feast.

[missedorientation]

Please, that's not getting built in a day. And there's bigger priorities to me.

[hououji]

Watching people get sweaty hitting things with sticks? [ Shes trying to joke. She’s failing to joke. She’s trying to joke. ]

[missedorientation]

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[8footswordlady]

You want to hit things with sticks?

[missedorientation]

I want to watch you get sweaty, mainly, but the hitting sounds good too.

[8footswordlady]

D-didn’t you see that enough already today?!

[missedorientation]

That's the less fun sweaty, not the fun sweaty.

[8footswordlady]

Oh like making out wasn’t fun for you!?

[missedorientation]

Oh, that sweating was very fun, don't get it twisted.

[8footswordlady]

And you want to see me sweat more? I’ll be a skeleton by the time you’re done with me.

[missedorientation]

God forbid I enjoy seeing you work out, gorgeous.

[8footswordlady]

[ She just shakes her head. ]

I don’t think they’d let me either way. I’ve been getting dirty looks since I got here.

[missedorientation]

They'll come around. People have shorter memories than you think.

[8footswordlady]

You sure? The knights seem to have a long memory.

[missedorientation]

They listen to strength. Dad is strong and so are you. It'll even out.

[8footswordlady]

I’m not totally sure that’s a good thing… especially in this case.

[missedorientation]

It means you shouldn't overthink things. It hasn't done you well.

[8footswordlady]

It’s hard not to this time. I made things more complicated trying to simplify them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if your folks hated me at this point.

[missedorientation]

You're breaking your promise at record speeds, huh?

[8footswordlady]

W-what promise?!

[missedorientation]

About accepting love and affection wherever it came from?

[8footswordlady]

I didn’t say that! I just said I wouldn’t be surprised.

[missedorientation]

Most people aren't this resistant to people liking them.

[8footswordlady]

Uh, this is like the third time I completely messed up their understanding of the world.
