My name is Joshua Christopher. Lucrezia plans on introducing us eventually... But I don't see any reason to wait that long. Your birthday is coming up, isn't it?

[Tohru Adachi]

Still depressed?

[oh look here's a voice he hasn't heard in some time]

About what?

Tohru Adachi || I WON'T EVEN TRY TO TOP THAT LMAO

[ofhope]

The little girl you're apparently dependent on for existing here or something. Maybe dying. Or just because you have to live with being you. I could list more reasons...

/chin hands

[foolreversed]

[oh great he means Nanako. Mental groaning commence.]

I wasn't dependent on her. And no I'm not depressed.

[ofhope]

It's so hard to ever tell a difference with you.

[foolreversed]

I'd ask what you mean by that but I have a feeling I won't like the answer.

What do you want anyway?

[ofhope]

Well, people keep leaving... The ones I know, too. It's good to keep tabs.

[foolreversed]

Please, like you could honestly care less if I'm here or not, let's just be honest with ourselves here.

[ofhope]

You're different. It's enough.

[foolreversed]

Lucky me then. Always different. Always too different. Too young, too weird, too irritating, too smart, too dumb, too whatever. Always sticking out like a jutted nail in a cookie cutter society of bullshit. Best get that hammer out and slam me the hell down already.

Glad that's enough for you.

[ofhope]

It sounds like you might need a therapist, Tohru.

[foolreversed]

Oh boy, look at that: another thing to add to my list of stuff I didn't want to hear coming from you.

[ofhope]

You think my opinion is invalid just because you don't like me? You should think outside the box. The best insight can come from the most unexpected places.

I'M SO SORRY THAT HE'S SO SNIPPY TODAY JESSE SOB DSJKVGHJKDS

[foolreversed]

[adopts the mellodrama naive voice] Oh wow, what great advice Joshua! I will surely follow it as well as the rest of your wonderful insight, as soon as I can find a therapist that knows how to deal with shell shocked people who come back from the dead in this rotten place!

You are clearly the embodiment of level-headedness and good ideas, how could I be so blind?

[Cesare seems hesitant when he answers, as if he thinks it a bad idea to respond.]

Has she told you that, then?

Cesare Borgia

[ofhope]

[ Trust your gut, Cesare. ]

Is she mistaken? That would be a grievous error for a sister to make...

forever

[abelard]

Of course she is not.

[ofhope]

Don't worry, she's told me little else. Which is why I wanted to meet.

[abelard]

Are you that close to Lucrezia, that you would want to meet me so badly as to go around her?

[ofhope]

Close?

[ That just makes him chuckle, but he doesn't really address it otherwise. ]

If you need a chaperone that badly, feel free to invite her.

[abelard]

I merely find it odd that someone she has never mentioned would be so interested in speaking with me.

[ofhope]

Yes, that is odd.

Is that a no?

[abelard]

I would meet you, if you wish for it so much.

[ofhope]

So much.

I'll let you pick the place, then.

[abelard]

Should we meet near the pond, then?

[ofhope]

That seems fitting. I'll see you soon.
