Another one bites the dust ♪

[ How long has it been since Angela could felt this? Probably too long. She even wondered in the past if she ever felt this or just happened to be manipulated at that time... But now it's different. She's completely sure that this strong feeling is something that she felt for real. And it was alright if he didn't feel the same, as long as she could stay at his side, she would be completely happy.

After such beautiful day, she believed that she needed to thank someone who supported her. And now she was on her way to the Tea House. ]

... Grandmother, are you around?

Comments

I missed this icon ok.

[bedroomduties]

[Shakes his head.]

It's fine, I was just doing some afternoon rounds, nothing too new. I can take some time.

LO SABIA. SABIA QUE SE VENIAN LOS SPARKLES.

[brokenpiece]

[ You can do it, Ange! You can do it! ]

Can we.. go somewhere to talk?

Pero obvio, es simplemente natural.... xD

[bedroomduties]

Sure.

Any place in particular?

Se extrañaban igual xD

[brokenpiece]

We can always go to the Solar Tree.

Claro, es tipo, el mejor icono xD

[bedroomduties]

That sounds good enough. Let's go.

[And he'll be offering her an arm, as usual. Because.]

todos esos sparkles, su kokoro no puede contenerlos todos XD

[brokenpiece]

[ uguuu... Takes it.

And walks with him.

Blushing. ]

Solo puede ponerse peor xD

[bedroomduties]

[And then, a little later, there they are.

The magic of walking silently.]

Here we are.

[He does wonder where this is going ok.]

Sep xD

[brokenpiece]

[ SHE FEELS LIKE CONFESSING 2.0 GETTING ALL NERVOUS AND SHIT... ]

Um... I talked with Grandmother about some things.

[ BEST WAY TO START THE CONVERSATION. ]

[bedroomduties]

I'm scared now.

[Playful. He's listening.]

[brokenpiece]

I wanted to thank her for all her help yesterday. And one thing lead to another...

[ She places a hand on her chest, getting lost in her thoughts. ]

[bedroomduties]

I've been there.

[brokenpiece]

[ BE A MAN, ANGE. ]

She... told me that... I should not think men would already know things. [ Is she making any sense? Nope. ]

Stephane..

[bedroomduties]

Well, guys are a little stupid when it comes to getting implications.

I'm a particularly good example, yes.

[At least he admits it....]

[brokenpiece]

[ WHERE IS THAT CRYING EMOTE--- ]

I can't blame you for that. I mean, I don't get most of the implications either.

[ She sighs a bit before looking at him for a long time. It's easy to tell that she's a bit scarred, maybe because she believes she's bothering him with all of this again. Selfish or not, he once told her that feelings were to be shared and she plans to follow his words in that.

With a gentle touch, she grabs his hands with her own. ]

Um... In this same place, I did confess to you my feelings. You told me that your priority would be your Prince, and I understand that. [ She feels like she's repeating herself again, but she doesn't care at this rate. ] I'd be so happy if I weren't your first priority. In fact, I'd be happy if you put me in the last place, because I... I don't care about it.

It will probably not make a difference, but I wanted to tell you that. You're someone really important to me...

[bedroomduties]

[That's... Well, a weird concept.

He has known a lot of women and girls (many of them in the biblical sense, sob) but during his life, he doesn't remember a single one of them who would settle for "second place" and even less "last place".

Even among the closest ones, there were his sisters, his mother, Roseanne, and even the Prince. None of them wanted "second place".

He's getting a headache. A man's brain just isn't made for understanding women.]

Do you mean that?

[brokenpiece]

[ Perhaps in the past, her old self before anything happened, she would have thought differently about being in the second place. But after Leon, the man that put her in his first priority, and the consequences it brought to her, she will never want to be the first priority of anyone. ]

Of course I do.

[ She believes she doesn't need to say anything else. ]

[bedroomduties]

[It's still weird okay.

He can't figure out this whole thing. He will take just a moment to think about that.]

And you were expecting me to just get that on my own? You give me far too much credit, Ange.

[brokenpiece]

[ Angela is the definition of weird sometimes. And awkward. ]

Well... I thought you would get it... [ She's so honest. ] I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. Maybe I should... just... leave.

[bedroomduties]

Well, the Lady Guardian probably gave you the best advice ever.

Guys just aren't made to understand women. We are just very, very dense.

[Sigh xD]

But it's okay, you don't have to leave you know.

[brokenpiece]

[ All this inner cry, it doesn't seem to stop soon... ]

You looked like you needed some time to think so I thought that you wanted to be alone for a bit. [ Her voice keeps lowering at the end of that. WHAT TO DO NOW, EH ANGE? ]

I'm sorry.

[bedroomduties]

H-hey.

You have nothing to apologize about.

[brokenpiece]

[ Lucrecia!Ange doesn't think the same. Face in hands now. ]

I feel a little embarrassed and yet I keep talking. I keep confessing and maybe he doesn't want anything and I'm bothering him...

[bedroomduties]

[Sigh xDD]

Ange, really.

[brokenpiece]

[ All the puppy eyes...

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Ange-windows needs to restart... ]

What... What do you think about all of this?

ilu xD

[bedroomduties]

[Uh...]

It's weird.

I do understand what you mean, and all, but at the same time... [Sigh. Think. Look for words. Fail hard XD]

I like you, Ange. I really do, I think you are nice, and pretty, and very kind and those are good things... But I'd feel a bit horrible about accepting your feelings without being able to return them.

I...

[Have a pause. And then a very. Very. VERY. Awkward trailing off.

Hey, Ange, it's a step forward, he does like you.]
