Hardly a choice when they take away your other options.

[phoenix_temple]

Honestly. I’m happy I can continue father’s work. And I’m glad that my master is kind and understanding… I think I got very lucky over all.

[fluidgender]

Ya shouldn't have to be forced to rely on luck for a good life...

[phoenix_temple]

Isn’t everyone though? The luck of the family you’re born into or the country or even the time.

[fluidgender]

All the more to try and do things with your own hands as much as possible. The less you can leave up to luck, the better.

[phoenix_temple]

Then why is my accepting my role and trying my best not enough?

[fluidgender]

Ain't ya still just accepting the situation bad luck put ya in?

[phoenix_temple]

I don’t think it was bad luck.

[fluidgender]

Just cause you're lucky to work with me doesn't make the overall situation great.

[phoenix_temple]

Then we can both work to make it better.

[fluidgender]

[Huffs arrogantly.] Obviously! It'd be horrible to leave a situation like this...

[phoenix_temple]

[ She claps her hands once, pleasantly. ] Good! Then it’s decided. You don’t need to be upset any longer, as we’ll improve the situation together!

[fluidgender]

Yeah!

[She pauses, frowning, double-taking at Fuu. Wait. That sounds a lot like she flipped her frustration into some kind of optimistic positive...]

[phoenix_temple]

[ She beams and giggles softly at the double take. ]

[fluidgender]

Well ain't you awful proud of yourself...

[phoenix_temple]

I’m very good at helping people be optimistic.

[fluidgender]

[Huffs again!]

I'm changing for dinner- you didn't get the last word on this!!

[phoenix_temple]

Do you need me to accompany you? Or should I find staff kitchens?

[fluidgender]

I can dress myself, I ain't that spoiled.

[phoenix_temple]

I mean to dinner!

[fluidgender]

Oh. [She thinks about it. Thinks about putting Fuu into close proximity to Pops again so soon.] ...Ah figure its fine. Probably better for ya to meet more people, I think.

[phoenix_temple]

I won’t be expected to be there?

[fluidgender]

Its dinner at home, the room's already gonna be full with waiting staff. If we had guests or we were at other houses, it'd be another thing but. Right now its fine.

[phoenix_temple]

If you’re certain…

I’ll see you tomorrow then?

[fluidgender]

[She lets herself be indulgent, bowing to Fuu.] Tomorrow.
