[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! ]

[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! ]
