My dear, you decided to go to prison of your own volition. They're all going to be unhinged.

[ She can't see it, but he's sighing. He's not even looking down on them. It's just unthinkable that since they last met, she both rejoined the organization they had been running from AND also decided to live in one of their renovated prisons.

He has to be supportive. ]

If you're happy, that's all that matters.
If it's been reformed, who's running Meropide?

[blossominghopes]

[There's a part of her that can't help but feel like she's disappointed him a bit... well, she can at least explain her "join the Order" decision later.]

Will it make you feel better if I at least start looking for somewhere else to live?

His name's Wriothesley--he actually apparently came here from another world and the Fortress there was his. He's a pretty decent guy!

[myriadeclipse]

No, you need not do that. I meant what I said about your happiness. Sometimes the best thing for someone is also the most unorthodox.

[ There is a few minutes pause in his texting that is clearly him looking into whom this Wriothesley fellow is. ]

He looks like someone shaved Lycaon and hit invert colors in photoshop.

[ There is absolutely no telling if that's positive or negative. ]

[blossominghopes]

Still... looking probably couldn't hurt, at least. Having a kitchen that's solely my own does sound nice, thinking about it...

[Don't get her wrong, the one at Meropide is great but also god only knows if any given day there'll be a certain set of siblings using it for making cursed-ass food from TikTok.

... Her next reply takes slightly longer than it normally would, if only because she had to compose herself after laughing pretty hard at that.]

Now that you've said that, I can't unsee it, thanks.

[myriadeclipse]

If you want someone to come along to look at places, you know I will.

[ The more this new cursed information sits in his head, he has to battle with himself to leave it alone. It's a coincidence! There was no reason to get more invested than just a glance.

He can leave it alone. It wasn't important. It was just some random other man. He was in complete control of himself. ]

Maybe I will pay this Meropide a visit. It's always better to see with your own eyes, yes?

[blossominghopes]

It'd definitely be more fun with you along!

Definitely. I can show you around, if you want!

[myriadeclipse]

Good. It seems we have plenty of outings lined up to accomplish in the near future.

Once I finish setting up the art gallery, we can begin with a lunch.

[blossominghopes]

Great! Looking forward to it, then~

[...]

Oh, and by the way... I'm glad you're here. I missed you.

[myriadeclipse]

[ He doesn't need this dastardly attack on his emotions. At first, it seems he may just leave the declaration on read. Given time, his last message is sent after much deliberation. ]

Time has changed you. Although I have no hand in this change of outlook, I would say it so far seems to have done you good. I look forward to scrutinizing your new friends, and seeing you.

[There isn't more to say here, but she doesn't want to just leave him on read after that. So kaomoji it is.]
