Hey.

I don't have anything to advertise or promote right now. [He'll just toss that out there, in case this was the time of the month for that. All he's got are questions.]

I was looking around town. What's with the theaters around here? I heard they got banned? Is that for real? I started acting back home and I'm not abandoning it just because I ended up in a magic world.

How'd they even get banned?

[integrous]

are you saying you've never heard of the enemies to lovers trope before?

[sneaksweet]

I'm aware of it. I'm also not interested.

[integrous]

[ Now she can't help but wonder if that's true or he's just being a tsundere.. She's way too invested in this relationship with someone she doesn't even know now.

But she'll be good and try to back off a little. Emphasis on try. ]

well
i'll hope for your sake then that that guy never shows up here
it could get awkward real fast

[sneaksweet]

[It's hard to say when one of the people involved isn't available for questioning.]

Why would it get awkward?

[They'd just argue. Endlessly. About everything. Their standard interactions.]

[integrous]

well i mean if you're not interested in the trope i probably shouldn't tell you
but you know how that thing usually goes
you end up in the same place under dire circumstances
and slowly grow closer despite your arguments
and then oh no there's only one bed in this room we have to share whatever shall we do now!!

[sneaksweet]

Are you a writer or something? I haven't run into any of that kind of thing before.
And there's a lot of beds in the city.

[integrous]

nope, i've just read a lot of those stories!!
believe me
there's always somehow a situation where there's only one bed
it'll sneak up on you when you least expect it

[sneaksweet]

There are so many beds?
And a lot of people too.
If I had to share a bed, the guy I'm bonded to is definitely the better option.

[integrous]

and why is that?

[ She may be collecting information for a shipping chart now... Don't mind her... ]

[sneaksweet]

Because he's not Banri.

[The bar's on the floor.]

[integrous]

come on!!!
there has to be another reason
or are you saying you'd be ok with sharing a bed with anyone except that one person

[sneaksweet]

My bonded reminds me of my little brother.

[There, he said it.]

[integrous]

[ .. oh.

Well, that kind of destroys the shipping chart, but it's adorable in its own way. And it's something Asahi can kind of get.. Momiji is like half bff, half cute little brother. ]

that's actually kind of cute
sorry if i was a little too pushy just now

[ Asahi does have some manners.. deep down. ]

you're probably pretty protective of him then huh

[sneaksweet]

It's fine. It doesn't really bother me.

[Juza has a strong fondness for anybody who reminds him of enthusiastic puppies.]

He's a knight, so it's not like he really has to be protected.

[But yes.]

[integrous]

a knight???
like the actual medieval kind?

[sneaksweet]

He wears armor around sometimes.
I think so.

[integrous]

this place is so wild.......
i guess i should feel lucky the weirdest thing about the boy i'm bonded to is that he's slowly turning into a bunny

[sneaksweet]

A puca?
You're turning into a bird.

[Juza quietly biting down on the urge to ask if she wants to eat him.]

[integrous]

yeah he's a puca and i'm a harpy
not like there's some rule against different monsters bonding with each other, right?

[ The implication is totally going over her head here. ]

[sneaksweet]

You've been here longer than me. If there was, you'd know.
What kind of bird are you?

[integrous]

[ There's a good few minutes worth of nothing.

Then, finally: ]

am i supposed to be some specific kind of bird

[ LITERALLY BEEN HERE FOR MONTHS. Literally slowly turned into a half bird. And yet she's apparently never considered this very good question before. ]

[sneaksweet]

I thought we were turning into specific kinds of animals.

[integrous]

is a bird not an animal

[ Two braincells trying to figure this out. ]

[sneaksweet]

It is. I meant like a parrot or a hummingbird?

[ ... A bird is an animal, right?

Juza's yeeted his braincell somewhere else today. ]

[integrous]

i
don't know....
i thought harpies were just turning into birds in general
i have no idea what kind of bird i'm supposed to be then
i guess i'm not a parrot or a penguin since i have brown feathers
