[ huh... the idea of having to abandon your identity is more than a little depressing.

they will just examine claude's hand. ]

I see. You have many surprises.

[midway]

Is that a good thing?

[ Also looks at his hand. ]

[rippled]

You are very private.

[ claude... never talks about himself... thoughtshare carried so much. ]

[midway]

[ LMAO ]

I don't like people knowing things about me.

[rippled]

Do you want to be dark and mysterious?

[midway]

Exactly. Don't you think it's cool and alluring?

[rippled]

Yes. You are very cool and alluring, Khalid.

[ ... ]

Well, I understand the sentiment. I tried not to talk about myself too much but this place is too pesky with all those weird effects.

[ memshare really came in with a steel chair ]

[midway]

[ Whoa. It's weird to hear that name again after three years... ]

Because you're so famous and didn't want to inspire awe?

[rippled]

Everyone should be awestruck when they see me.

[ OKAY.

... ]

To them, I am just a figure from their distant history. As soon as Uhura learned who I was, he immediately knew my whole life story without me having to tell him anything else. It's a strange feeling.

[midway]

Ah, I see.

[ That makes sense. ]

It is uncomfortable to have so little control over what people know about you, and what they think of you.

[rippled]

That is something I was already used to since youth. It is just in a... much larger scale now.

[ which is something else to get used to. ]

But the majority of the people here aren't Japanese, at least.

[midway]

The perils of fame... I suppose I'll wait to hear your story in your own words then.

[rippled]

You have to tell me something in exchange. I am not cheap.

[midway]

Okay, okay.

[ He likes you so much, Saber. ]

By the way, are you still planning to remain here, after everything?

[rippled]

I haven't really put much thought into it...

[ well, they have, it's more that they're just not any closer to an answer. ]

Although I suppose I probably should make a decision.

[midway]

[ Curious. ]

What are your options?

[rippled]

There is not really a place for me to go back home to. Iori is gone, after all. I'm actually not even sure how my revival will work.

[ their entire form of existence is complicated so they're just ? ]

If anything, I'm not even sure if I am someone who should get another chance at life. So... I shall see.

[midway]

[ smacks them ]

[rippled]

[ skfjskfsgd

they lean away from him. ]

Why...

[midway]

... Sorry. I just didn't enjoy hearing that.

[ Rubbing his neck, sheepish. ]

You don't need to go back to your Japan, you know. Seems like you can go to other worlds.

[rippled]

It seems a little awkward to just invite myself to someone's world...

[ and in the end, they are too proud to just ask someone for that. so here we are. ]

[midway]

[ Tilts head. ]

Come with me then. You can remain in Leicester, or travel around as you please.

[rippled]

[ ...

they blink, opening their mouth and then closing it. hmmm. ]

Really?

[midway]

It's a poor offer, I'm afraid, given that we're in the middle of a war, but I am sure you'll be able to find a place of peace if you try.

And I'd rather you be there than... Somewhere unreachable.

[rippled]

... I will consider the offer. Thank you.

[ they won't agree immediately because they figure they should probably actually... think about it for longer than ten seconds...

but they will repeat what he had done earlier and kiss him on the cheek. mwah. ]
