[this is a kyr-use general contact post, what's up nerds]

I'm really glad I met you.

[oh my god

critical dere strike]

... I- Me too. This... All of this, I feel like... It's been worth it. So that I could meet you, and be with you.

Yeah. This place might be complete shit, but if it means I can be with you once it's all over and we can be happy, then...

Yeah. It was worth it. And I don't regret it.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[and now i can't look up at you because I'm an embarrassed dumbshit.]

So... How did you get this to happen, anyway? Was it a quest...?

Oh, no. She had, like... A raffle thing set up.

... A raffle? Seriously?

Hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Oh, I'm not. I'm just thinking I'm going to leave everything based on luck up to you from now on.

[a laugh]

I wouldn't do that if I were you. My luck's been historically awful up until lately.

You've seen my luck. I think I'll risk it.

Maybe our luck combines to make good luck. Like how two negatives make a positive.

I didn't know luck worked that way.

Well, I'm not exactly an expert. Call it an educated guess.

Well, I'll just trust your observations. I'm not sure I want to be lucky if it means having to do even more math to figure it out.

Oh, come on. How can you not like math?

I'm basically constantly doing math when I fight. I like it fine, but it's nice to have some breaks.

When you fight? How's that?

[honestly curious]

Well, it's sort of...

[She trails off, trying to figure out how to put it.]

When I'm fighting, I have to keep track of my MP, the enemy's HP, how much each action is doing... I have to consider the effectiveness of each spell, versus its cost in MP, and even figure out the cost-benefit decisions for things like using potions. I have to project those calculations, and determine if we're capable of doing enough damage to beat an enemy.

...Damn. That's more complicated than I thought it would be.

Each one is pretty simple on its own, but... Yeah, keeping track of them all at once gets hard. There's a reason mages have to be intelligent.

Well, you've definitely got that down.

[using the skewer again]

So, what's after this?

If memory serves... Stargazing, and then you see how fast you can get this dress off of me, right?

Ah, yes. But first, I insist you have some dessert.
