of knights, dogs, and yakitori

( another week, another palace- and far be it from us to deny tradition. through bickering, wandering and other shenanigans, the group from argenti's palace will find themselves at an agreeable izakaya- not entirely meals, and they definitely have to make an argument for the younger teens, thank you izou, but the atmosphere is light and more importantly, this bad boy can fit so many customers at one group table. it was a hard battle- so now it's time to rest hard, too.

...I am aching. As usual, these excursions carry a great deal of physical exhaustion and pain. As much as I loathe to admit, fighting supernatural entities is something I cannot seem able to improve that much at.

[Which is a bit of a shameful thing to admit, as someone generally aiming to be perfectionist, but still! She's not terrible, but she also isn't going to become a powerhouse as she hoped she would]

[vogelfrei]

[ Yeah, that sounds about right. They've all been having a day of it. ]

Training to mastery takes time, unfortunately.

[ McGillis is also an overachiever type, but his expectations for improvement times might be a bit more realistic. ]

I'd tell you to sit down and relax, but that's just going to make you more tense, won't it?

[kandata]

...I am starting to get used to it. Perhaps I have been worn down by the insistence many have about this.

[Kirumi doesn't seem too resigned about it, though! As much as she thought she'd be able to keep her distance, it was for naught. She's being dragged into bonding, yeah

[vogelfrei]

I don't know whether that should be considered a good or a bad thing at this rate.

[ Keeping their distance permanently would have been so nice, wouldn't it?

Nevertheless, McGillis moves a little so Kirumi would have space to sit next to him if she so desired. ]

[kandata]

[She does sit down! Hell yeah]

I am starting to think it might be a good thing, although sometimes I am not sure how to deal with it.

[Mostly because it makes her be stuck between the impulse of staying in her maid ways and the newfound desire to connect with them]

[vogelfrei]

An understandable dilemma.

[ One that he is also finding himself in. It's about as close as he gets to admitting his newfound desire for human connection out loud. He wants others, but it's too late for that. He wants others, but he does not want to be seen at all.

Keeping his distance had an easier manual. ]

Do you think that Kandata would have been pulled up to heaven if he'd allowed the other sinners to climb along with him?

[kandata]

...I believe that is the point of the tale. Or at the very least, if the sinner had been more understanding of others' situation, everybody could have been saved, instead of all being for naught.

[Kirumi chooses to blatantly ignore any and all implications this has about her canon events. Self-introspection of that kind won't happen]

[vogelfrei]

And ignoring the point of the story as written, what do you think?

[ It's a paradoxical question because the tale as written only exists with that one singular perspective on it - but they're not in a literature class here. ]
