That's exactly what we're talking about! ... I think.

[Is that what it's called when Kor does his light show and disappears like that? She knows he's used the word Spiria around her a few times and she gets it's to do with emotions and the heart. But Spiria linking? Hmm.

Oh. She sees a chance here.] Sounds like you've had Kor inside you before too if you know what I'm talking about. [Nothing to be embarrassed over when they're just talking about Spiria links!]

[Yeah he can only run with it for so long.]

I did, and he was just as forceful about it as he was to you. Almost felt a bit violated.

[Okay. Maybe a little longer.]

[Oh her Seyfert why. She really wants to clear the air, cut the innuendo and get them on the same page here.]

I guess just forcing people to link with him is a bad habit of his. [... No, even saying link doesn't help. It's still awful.] Ugh. But it did feel a little like that... He didn't explain what he was going to do or anything.

Yep, exactly the same. Just stepped right up and took me right then and there. Even if I wanted to I couldn't refuse or stop him, he was already inside, doing whatever he wanted. But he did know what he was doing so he clearly has experience.

[This is so terrible please make him stop.]

Can you stop? Or at least try and say "link" more when you're talking like that! There has to be a limit to this sort of thing...

[It's weird thinking about this. It's weird thinking about Kor like this. It's weird hearing Rokurou talking like this and wow does the connection feel pretty warm right now.]

Kor doesn't even know what having "peanuts" means let alone any of this stuff anyway. [... Did she mean to send that. No. No she did not. Whoops.]

[You know, he would have stopped.

BUT SHE MADE IT WORSE ON HER OWN.]

Whoa, now who has their mind in the gutter?

[SHE DID NO SUCH THING as far as she knows.]

You're the one with the gutter mind here, not me! I'm not the one talking about his experience and everything else you mentioned.

[Which she won't repeat because then she would be just as bad! Rokurou knows what he's been saying!!]

You're the one bringing in the peanuts.

[OH FFS] When did I bring up anything about peanuts? I don't remember that! My mind is not in the gutter!!

[The best solution is to deny all knowledge. Deny deny deny.]

[Should he try a playback?

He is totally trying.

All he has to do is just recall exactly what she said so HAVE THE LINE REPEATED RIGHT BACK TO YOU:]

Kor doesn't even know what having "peanuts" means let alone any of this stuff anyway.

[And just a smiiiiiiile.]

So you wanna try saying that again?

[Thanks she really wanted to hear herself saying that again Rokurou what do you want from her this is cruel why are you such a bully hello??]

Aah-- What do you want me to say?! One of the first things he asked me when we met was what having "peanuts" meant! And...!

[Her mind is definitely not in the gutter okay!! But what else could he have meant?! AAAAAH wait she can just bail can't she. Right. Good. Okay!! MENTALLY HANGING UP NOW.

Did it work. She's saying nothing. But Farah is still providing a very hot, flustered sensation through the connection the whole time.]

[Beyond the amulet, Rokurou is over here just laughing, actually bent over wherever his sitting with a hand over his mouth. He really is being terrible, but after his own messes with the amulet IT REALLY FELT GOOD TO NOT BE ON THE RECEIVING END. Sorry, Farah. He also notices the silence—but he can feel that ever present heat so he gives her a few seconds of false sense of security before just suddenly saying:]

Nope, still here.

[And there is definitely some snickering along with it.]

[For a good moment there she feels like at long last she can relax, the warmth starting to subside as she can finally calm down- But NO he's STILL THERE.]

Why are you still here?! And you're laughing at me too! Rokurou!!

[Don't you snicker at her mister she will hold NOTHING back when they next end up training together!!

Except. He'd probably like that.

Damn it.]

It's not my fault! [Just laughing for real now.] I had this same problem with someone else earlier, so this is pretty great for me.

[THANKS FARAH.]

If you've gone through the same thing then shouldn't you understand how I'm feeling right now? All you're doing is rubbing it in more!

[You're NOT welcome JERK. YEESH.]

Haha, okay, I'm sorry, sorry!

[....Mostly.]

But hey, could be worse. At least it was me who heard it.

You better be! [HMPH. H M P H.] You're right though. I could have had some complete stranger instead who would have no idea what I was talking about.

[...]

Then again, maybe that would have been better than this.

[D'aw aren't you being adorable, Farah.]

When you put it like that—probably, yeah.

[Admitting he knows he's being terrible.]

So are you going to tell Kor about this? Or is this going to be our special little secret?

[This is how Rokurou gets a fist to his smug face.]

No! No, absolutely not, Kor isn't going to hear anything about this! And you're going to promise me that your lips are sealed about it all, just to be sure.

[He wouldn't dare break a promise with her right?]

Edited 2019-03-31 16:17 (UTC)

And if I don't make that promise?

[HE'S JUST BEING MEAN, he really would keep his promise.

If he made it.]

I'll never spar with you again, beat you to the punch on every task board hunt and tell everyone to go easy on you in a fight.

[She is pulling NO PUNCHES here mister.]

[...Yeah, those aren't the worst threats. But he planned to take his teasing only so far to begin with, so he just laughs a bit.]

Okay, okay. I promise to keep everything said between us.

[Well she can't exactly threaten him at all can she, he'll just take it as a challenge or something.]

Thank you! [The biggest, most drawn out sigh.] I have enough on my mind without having to worry about Kor finding me to ask me questions about all this stuff.

Haha, it's fine. But seriously, when you talk to him about the whole spiria link, tell him he should warn the people he's going into better. Give him a nice long lecture about consent.

[No double meaning there. Really. ~~heh~~]

Oh, I'm going to! By the time I'm finished with him he's going to understand exactly what he should and shouldn't do before spiria linking with someone.

[Is there really no double meaning there. Really. She wonders if she should clarify she's only going to talk about spiria links, but then that means she read into a double meaning there anyway!

She's keeping her mouth shut on this. Thoughts shut. This time anyway. Yup.]

I wonder if it was his grandpa that taught him to act like this? He seems to be full of... Advice about helping people.
