[ fufufufu praise them.

but they will walk... until they reach the gazebo, and set him down. ]

Okay.

[midway]

[ Laughs and settles down. ]

Thanks for the lift.

[rippled]

You are very welcome.

[ there is a pause, before they just lean in and kisses him.

and then immediately backs away. ]

I am going to the cage.

[midway]

[ H

OKAY

HUH? ]

What?

[ ... ]

I'll go with you.

[rippled]

... if you would like.

[ they will start walking. ]

[midway]

[ Goes with them in a daze. ]

Can I ask why you did that...?

[rippled]

I simply wanted to.

[ they glance at him. ]

You may go ahead and reject it.

[midway]

[ No... There's a squeeze in his chest at the thought. ]

... I'm sorry.

[ He cares about Saber in so many ways outside of this. ]

Can we still be close?

[rippled]

Why wouldn't we be?

[ a pause, like they just thought of it. ]

Oh. I suppose it could be awkward.

[midway]

Unless... it's not? For you?

[rippled]

I never expected anything, Khalid.

[ they bump into him. ]

I will just say the same thing I had said before. If I ever make you uncomfortable, let me know.

[midway]

[ He'll take the opportunity to squeeze them into a hug, hesitating a moment before he kisses the crown of their head. ]

You should expect things.

[ Squeezes tighter!! Before letting go. ]

But I'll say the same. If you'd rather I not do something, please tell me.

[rippled]

I will.

[ ...

moves onto more important matters. ]

Okay, so trade me. Who do you like.

[midway]

Seriously?

[rippled]

[ they're trying not to smile. currently failing at this task. ]

Seriously...

[midway]

[ The way this information would never have seen the light of day until doki chart if not for this.

Ugh, he is embarrassed and just shakes his head. ]

It's not that serious. But I did have some feelings for Elysia.

[rippled]

Ah, that's not too surprising...

[ it's mumbled, since elysia does seem like the type of person that people could fall for. granted, that was past tense. ]

But not anymore?

[midway]

[ I know. It's like wow, you like the incredibly beautiful and kind woman? Shocking.

Anyway, he shrugs. ]

I haven't thought about it too much in the past couple weeks.

[rippled]

I see...

[ that's fair. there was a lot of murder happening. ]

Well, I do hope that whatever you decide to do that you end up cared for, Khalid. You are an important friend to me and I am invested in your happiness, regardless of what that looks like.

[midway]

[ Saber is so sweet... He has a little blip of happiness whenever he hears his name, and just affection and gratitude at the sweet words. ]

I'm plenty happy, don't worry. Having your friendship, and the others' here... I don't think I've ever made connections like this.

[rippled]

It likely helps that so many of the people here are insistent.

[ saber thinks about all the genkis in game... they're all terrible. ]

It makes it difficult to be elusive.

[midway]

Were you trying to be...?

[rippled]

[ ... ]

I am very elusive...

[midway]

Well... you were a mystery to me for a lot of our time here, I guess.

[rippled]

Oh, a lot of people have told me that. They can't tell what I think and that I seem distant about everything.

[ this is why they have no friends except for the people who are friends with everyone. ]
