I'll be sure to protect your honor on the matter.

[phoenix_temple]

I’m supposed to be the one protecting your honor!

[fluidgender]

There's lots of honor to go around. Can't believe you're so stingy with honor protection.

[phoenix_temple]

My honor is safe only by value of protecting you, of course. Just like how I was born to protect you—it’s my meaning and my honor.

[fluidgender]

You say a lot of stuff that I feel like you would discourage other people from thinking about themselves.

[phoenix_temple]

Other people weren’t born to be someone else’s shield and sword. [ She beams as if she’s happy about it all. ]

You can’t forget my life is yours.

[fluidgender]

Like I could if I wanted to.

But the logic flows the same way, y'know.

[phoenix_temple]

Would you want to? [ She ignores the second half. ] I’m sure I could find a way.

[fluidgender]

[She rolls her eyes.] No Fuu, I would not want to forget that you've been raised to protect me. Especially when me taking that for granted is an objectively immoral insult that you would somehow manage to forgive me for if I did it.

[phoenix_temple]

Born to protect you.

You could take it more for granted, you know. It might take some of your parents’ fire off you.

[fluidgender]

I don't like taking you for granted. You're too incredible for that.

[phoenix_temple]

Now you’re taking it too far. Beyond the oath’s healing I’m just a normal girl.

[fluidgender]

Then I need to meet as many normal girls as I can.

[phoenix_temple]

You may find friends you like more if you do! And then maybe you won’t worry so much.

[fluidgender]

I don't worry. I take interest in interesting things.

[phoenix_temple]

Then maybe you’ll take interest in other things.

[fluidgender]

[She perches her chin in her hand, smirking.] But I wouldn't want to make you jealous...

[phoenix_temple]

Jealous? What do I have to be jealous of?

I’ll be the one at your side, every day. For the rest of my life.

[fluidgender]

Oooooh, you make it sound so romantic~

[phoenix_temple]

[ She winks, lifting a finger to her lips. ]

Romance? That’s absolutely forbidden for me. Only my sister can find love—

Unless, of course, you decide to marry me off as well?

[fluidgender]

That's up to you. Should I know about any suitors catching your eye?

[phoenix_temple]

I only have eyes for my lady. I have no interest otherwise.

[fluidgender]

Oh, yeah? What parts are your eyes enjoying?

[phoenix_temple]

[ She turns a little pink. That isn’t the response she expected. ]

A-are you suggesting there are parts they aren’t enjoying?

[fluidgender]

Are you?
