[ he was wounded when the train initially crashed, but he's not about to admit that openly, so instead: ] Were you that concerned for me? Unfortunately, you are a bit late...
[ she's not, but— ]
What of you, my lady? I heard the weather in Seoul was rather dreadful.
Oh, I am sure there isn't. Rather, I would be more surprised if they were allowing us to spend our days as freely as they have. The fact you can say that... it seems you're in relatively good health.
[ which is a relief in a sense. he supposes the success of this mission hinged on both teams doing their utmost. ... on one hand, he isn't accustomed to speaking plainly of his own injuries or what he considers to be a potential vulnerability, and yet— ]
The bleeding from my head stopped. It is mostly healed. Were you that concerned for me?
using the f word. he seems to pause at that, unsure of how to feel or take it. but, of course, he has to be contrary per usual. ] Do you truly believe such a friendship exists between a man and a woman? [ i'm tired. ]
For the record, I am quite self-aware. Where else would you suggest?
Do you desire to be embroiled in a scandal that badly?
[ is it a scandal when no one even knows who he is...
but, that's not what's important. ]
Since you are not offering me an alternative, I will take it as hell being the destination to-be. But, considering it may be full of people I may have encountered before, it does seem like it would be a rather irksome place.
Is that not a bit contradictory when you have not told me much of yourself?
If you put it like that, I have no choice but to accept them as royal subjects under my personal kingdom. [ except, can these animals be moved to his sims world? ] Have you not considered other animals? Fine steeds, perhaps? Sheep? I heard ladies are fond of seemingly tender looking creatures.
Then what sort of place did you come from, and who was that royal you once described? [ lol, is this to say that it bothered him, or is it that he's really this petty. ]
... Do you not believe you are being rather selfish after dragging me to your farm?
A magistrate? [ his brows furrow slightly. ] You made it sound as if you had no interest in titles.
What kind of place was your home?
Then I will simply build my own. One that doesn't mimic a prison. [ the pot calling the kettle black... not him accusing her of imprisoning him in her farm. ]
Well, her name is Jinhsi. To everyone else, she's the Magistrate ... But why does it matter to you at all? You are both very different people.
Jinzhou is beautiful. It's a city with a mix of modern and traditional architecture that nestles in between mountains and valleys. There's a variety of landscapes in the country, and there are monsters everywhere that cause problems for everyone around. However ... it truly is still a beautiful place, and very dear to me. I miss it a lot.
You protest too much. I helped you out of it, in the end.
some would feel embarrassed at the prospect of having made such a fuss over nothing, but callisto doesn't feel that type of shame. ] Did you not say that I was allowed to inquire as I pleased? Though, she must have been quite the leader for her to have left such an impression on you. [ in comparison to that, here he was... hanging by a thread at times; fully capable of destroying the empire if he deemed it necessary. ]
A woman of your strength would be attracted to a land of monsters. Then this place may as well be your second paradise.
Is it a protest when I am simply speaking facts? Lady Rover, just because one reaches their destination, it does not mean they forget the entire journey there.
I'm grateful for her friendship, and the trust she has put in me. And I'm truly sorry to not be with her right now.
Just because a place is familiar doesn't mean it's pleasurable or delightful at all.
I fear the way you hold on to the past will prevent you from looking forward to better things, such as: no longer being in the pen, surrounded by cows.
1. Who do you miss the most from your world? 2. What is your favourite thing about yourself? 3. Who would you say has committed the greatest offence against the crown in your world? 3a. Similar question, but in this world. 4. What is your favourite dish? 5. When is your birthday?
You can lie if you want. Just make it interesting.
[ he can sense her concern for her friend back at home is entirely real. there's not a hint of dishonesty behind that text, or maybe he just has a hard time believing rover to be someone purposely deceptive. which leads him to the conclusion of: ] I am almost envious of your unwavering belief in one another.
You must have been through nothing short of war with one another... much like I have been at war with your rather cruel imitation of a farm.
Lady Rover, do you not find it unfair that you have not provided the answers to your own questions first and foremost?
[ but, despite saying that. ]
1. I am unsure. To be honest, I am not even certain I would be in the position to say my late mother. Rather cruel, isn't it? 2. Is there anything to deem not favorable...? 3. I had too many assassins after my life since the tender age of nine, so I am unsure I could give just one name. 3a. You? I jest, my lady. I do not believe anyone has committed that large of a sin against me. However, I did have an odd run in with a man who sent me ads to a circus. Truly strange indeed. It frightens me to think of what is going on inside of their minds. Ah, there was also this man who was ... quite obsessed with me, but I would rather not think too deeply on it. 4. ... Is this your way of fishing for a compliment? 5. August 1st.

What of you, my lady? I heard the weather in Seoul was rather dreadful.
no subject
That doesn't inspire confidence. Were you injured, then?
no subject
[ ... ]
It could hardly be called an injury. I have had far worse. Though, being stabbed is far more straightforward than a train crashing.
no subject
[ reading his message, rover shakes this impossible man in her head like a chewtoy, but gently. ]
I wish you would speak plainly.

[ which is a relief in a sense. he supposes the success of this mission hinged on both teams doing their utmost. ... on one hand, he isn't accustomed to speaking plainly of his own injuries or what he considers to be a potential vulnerability, and yet— ]
The bleeding from my head stopped. It is mostly healed. Were you that concerned for me?
no subject
... a head injury is something to be concerned about. I'm glad you have it under control.
We can't do our hobbies together if you're dead. [ yeah! ]
no subject
Is it? I was largely unaware. Still, I do not think it reason for alarm. As you can see, my mind is working just fine.
If we descended to hell together, surely the devil would allow us a few hobbies of our own.
no subject
And I like being busy. Part of that is knowing my friends are safe.
... why would hell be the destination?
no subject

no subject
What would you rather it be? [ you know what, go on. explain yourself. ]
... I suggest not going there at all.
Most humans don't live long enough to see it, anyway.
no subject

no subject
Callisto. I do not want you to go to hell. I'd rather you be cornered by my cows. [ is that better, she doesn't even know. ]
no subject
Have you not considered one woman's farm is another man's inferno?
[ but, maybe he does smile a little at the sentiment of her not wanting him to burn in hell. ]
no subject
Would you prefer your irksome company in hell over my cows? How terrible. I thought they did a good job.
no subject
If you put it like that, I have no choice but to accept them as royal subjects under my personal kingdom. [ except, can these animals be moved to his sims world? ] Have you not considered other animals? Fine steeds, perhaps? Sheep? I heard ladies are fond of seemingly tender looking creatures.
no subject
I'm sure a lot of ladies like them, but I wouldn't know what to do with such animals.
And they're not your subjects, by the way. They're my cows.
no subject
... Do you not believe you are being rather selfish after dragging me to your farm?
no subject
You are talking about a dear friend of mine, who's certainly not royalty: the Magistrate of Jinzhou, a place I call home.
And, no. A lady has the right to be selfish.
You are, however, allowed to visit them, if you want to.
