13th Flight: [Action]

[skyborne_mage]

[Slapped to the door of the clothing store is a note.  It's not a very remarkable note, even if the text is a bit on the large side.  But it's a note on a door, so most people will probably stop to read it.

This is what they will see.]

Give the next person you see a big hug and kiss!

[And hiding in a nearby tree, watching the results of her little experiment, is one Arche Klaine.]

[wise_maiden]

No, it shouldn't have. But it did, so you must have thought something.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...That is what I thought about it.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Did you even like it?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

It was a bit short.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She raises an eyebrow.] Short?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. I've had longer kisses before. I'm sure you can relate.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

That wasn't what I asked.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I'm explaining that I can't say whether I liked it or not.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

You could have just said that, instead of playing these guessing games.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I could have. [And he's finished with one half. Reaching for the other.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Why didn't you? And be straight with me this time.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I have no reason to be. This isn't a matter of great importance to Luceti, after all.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Even if it's not, that doesn't mean that you can just play these games.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[You'd be in trouble in he was a sociopath playing games, Raine.] The fact that you're reacting this way means that you would like to discuss the matter at further length.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... Yes. Is there a problem with that?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Not at all. Feel free to discuss it.

[And now he waits. He's such a jerk.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I simply don't feel comfortable leaving it at that. Especially if you thought it was only "too short to judge".

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

So you feel a need to hear judgment on the issue.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Your lack of an opinion on the matter offends me.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I see. I apologize, then.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Hm. Thank you for the apology, at least.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course. You could have told me you felt uncomfortable with dropping the subject.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I could have.

[A pause then, and a short laugh.] I suppose that makes me just as ridiculous as you.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's not exactly something that happens everyday. So it's understandable.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Of course.

... I hope you'll forgive me for still being curious about that opinion.
