[r8] talking head: rei

[loveauthority]

[ Rei is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Rei to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

I am! Best isn't perfect mind, but I certainly don't have any complaints.

[ 1000% confidence! ]

[makeine]

[ fascinating. how can one person be so happy. ]

Huh. Okay then! Your world must be pretty peaceful then, or totally boring.

[ despite the MAGIC ]

What drew you to picking Frieren-san? Your time in the Chamber?

[astrivise]

[ boring? no. peaceful? its a sol series about magical depression so It's Complicated. either way rei is happy enough to move on. ]

No, but that she thought of my comfort in the first place to ask.

[ tapping a finger on his cheek. ]

And I liked that she stepped in to stop Aligula from fighting Date too.

[makeine]

Those two seem like oil and water, but me and another contestant started off that way in my season, too. Once they find something in common, they'll hit it off so well you two won't have to worry about a thing!

[ that's cute though. her consideration... he did mention her thoughtfulness, so that must be a pretty big point of interest for him in a person.

even if he won't realize he's been yearning for someone for a decade already what's one more-- ]

Has anyone else caught your eye, sensei? Thinking of asking them out on a date this week?

[astrivise]

I think the points Du Ruo made prior to the truth booth do match up with things I can provide. Plus, I'd like to check on her too after Mr. Bonaparte's...proclamation.

[ please note though, that he says nothing about what his desires or wants are. ]

Aside from that, I can't say I'd mind going out on a date with anyone. Not everything needs to be romantic, right?

[ <-- guy who's thinking of all his dates platonically. ]

[makeine]

[ king. ]

Sure, but don't get complacent in friendship if you wanna go after someone. They'll only know how you feel if you bother to tell them.

[ source: her ]

Anyway, what sort of things do you want? Out of a relationship, in the kind of person you like, stuff like that.

[astrivise]

Hmm, I can't say I'm shy, at least.

[ the biggest hurdle is getting him to realize he has Feelings.

and also said Feelings not getting in the way of anything else. thats also a big one. ]

Well...I can't say I've put much thought into it. But that is what this show is about I realize, so—someone kind who wants to help others. In the benevolent way most certainly, but also like a mentor, I think. Children are the future, and it's important to nourish them.

[makeine]

[ my god i'm pained that he and frieren aren't a match (girl who made the matches)

anna nods!!! yeah!!!!! that stuff's important!!!!!!! especially as someone who's gonna be a mom someday she totally agrees!!!!!! ]

So you'd be a poor match with someone who didn't feel the same. Spiegel-san's totally out in both the game and romance sense.

[ he HATES children ]

Is your type from like, experience?

[astrivise]

Ahh, no. But it's what came to mind when I think about someone I admire very much!

[ he's stupid. ]

[makeine]

[ oh my god this is sounding familiar.

hold on. she is NOT!!!!!! DEALING WITH THIS AGAIN!!!! ]

What's this person like? How long have you know them? Are they single? Describe the emotion you feel thinking about them walking away from you.

[astrivise]

I've known him for over twenty years! He's smart, amazing, patient, always one to help others, and is great at giving advice whether it's in magic or every day things!

[ LOOK AT HIM SPARKLE!!!! ]

Ah, no he's not single. He's married and has been for a while now, I'm really happy for them!

[ he's stupidddddddd. ]

And let's see... how do I feel when I see him leave? Well, a bit sad if I'm to be honest—there's never enough time to talk with him, or go for walks with him, or get our hands messy together...

[makeine]

[ damn........ ]

Kinda sounds like you're a puppy at his heels, sensei.

[astrivise]

Well of course I'm very loyal to him!

[ he's STUPID. ]

[makeine]

[ my fucking g ]

Right. Lemme rephrase. A lovesick puppy.

[astrivise]

Why yes, I certainly love—

[ eh? ]

—lovesick?

[makeine]

Lovesick.

[ whats the problem. he's gonna sleep on it this week anyway-- ]

[astrivise]

I'm not...

[ yeah, he's got nothing. ]

Did Stella tell you this?

[makeine]

I got eyes and ears, bucko! And it sounds like this Stella person does too!

[ or they're both delulu ]

[astrivise]

Yes well, she's quite the talented engineer. She's also known me since I was a teen.

[ they're not delulu, he's just this much of an idiot.

rei sighs. ]

...I'll admit I have a crush on my master, but lovesick is...

[ entirely accurate, he just can't bring himself to admit it. ]

[makeine]

[ they're getting somewhere... ]

Too much? We can leave it there, then. I just needed you to admit it since the last kind, pretty guy I knew never realized and now says the only one he's loved is me.

[ (redacted) aside its fine as far as will cares she IS ]

[astrivise]

[ a hum, thoughtful. ]

My Master is currently married, so it's a non-starter. And when he wasn't, I was his apprentice so it was hardly appropriate.

We're both the type to dedicate ourselves to our work, so really—I'm glad he's found someone more suited to him and is happy.

[ they're getting somewhere where the second rei problem rears its head because this man will run away so fast is anyone else shows interest- ]

[makeine]

[ boy mood ]

... Well, as long as you're happy. Don't regret not saying anything to him anyway?

[astrivise]

No, I don't. It doesn't stop me from holding him in my heart.

[ just like all these friendships he's going to go home with! ]
