Eli. This isn't her real mother. She won't take offense, no matter how hard you try. It's still just Mafuyu's mind in the end.

[ SO STOP CAUSING TROUBLE??? ]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ NO?! ]

I'm not going to try and fit into whatever perfect mold her stupid mom tried to force her into. That's what caused this whole problem in the first place.

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. But this is a palace - remember how the Shinsengumi attacked us for perceived transgressions in Izou's palace?

If you upset her internal image of her mother before we get to her, won't that make our journey more difficult?

[moodwrecker]

Then you can stay pristine all you want.

I'm pretty sure no matter what I did, there's no way I'd live up to her mom's expectations even if I tried. So I'm not even going to bother.

[vogelfrei]

You won't have to pretend for long. It's like acting, isn't it? You got through that as well.

[ WHY DO NONE OF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR CAPACITY TO MY FAIR LADY YOURSELVES.... ]

[moodwrecker]

That was for a play. I'm not going to fake it in her Palace.

I already told you, I have a reputation for staying true to myself. I'm not going to change that now, especially when that's the root of Mafuyu's problems.

[So everyone else can deal with schmoozing tbh.]

[vogelfrei]

[ Well, he does still think this is a strength in some regards. But also... good lord, this palace is going to be difficult. ]

'Getting through to her in the way you believe in', huh?

[moodwrecker]

Exactly.

[Sorry not sorry about doubling your workload, McGillis.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ McGillis, why do you keep having to make him stop and think? That's so annoying. ]

I... guess?

[ Spitting out dirt from the handprint he just got across his face. Terrible. ]

[vogelfrei]

Just keep it down until we know what we're dealing with, is that alright?

You'll get to shout as many obscenities as you want later on.

[fullmoonmutt]

...fine.

[ Said huffily, but he'll quiet down for now. ]
