It seems warm, fuzzy feelings are going around lately. Not that I expected differently from you- [non-magical peasants] -curious people. Is it merely something about this time of year? Some sort of holiday?

[She actually sounds rather relaxed for once.]

Issei, my dear. Can I take you out to dinner tonight? It would be so nice to spend time with you. If you come early, I can take you clothes shopping and we can see if we can't get you some decent clothing.

[...what do young non-magical peasant people even wear these days?]

...clothing that is far more suitable of you.

I am watching you. You would do well to keep your hands off Issei.

[Sigh. At least she doesn't sound malicious right now.] Perhaps another effect of the city.

[hyphenated]

No one will stand in the way of us.

[Video]

[fourteenthscion]

Is that a challenge?

[Video]

[hyphenated]

If it must be. I am fond of Issei; I see no reason to listen to a complete stranger regarding him.

[Video]

[fourteenthscion]

Fond?

Pardon me, but your fondness toward others seems a bit dangerous.

[Video]

[hyphenated]

You mean Diarmuid?

After all, I can think of no others I have fondness towards.

[Video]

[fourteenthscion]

Him too.

Mark my words. Should you hurt either Issei or Diarmuid, I will hunt you down to the ends of this world, Sola. [BEST INTRODUCTION TO EACH OTHER, AM I RIGHT.]

Excuse me. I have not properly introduced myself.

I am Neah. A friend of Diarmuid and Issei's.

Sola-ui Nuada-re Sophia-ri. Charmed, I'm sure... or I might have been, had you not shown such a clearly damaged personality as to threaten a woman at first sight.

I have no intentions of harming my son, Mister, ah... Neah. Nor Diarmuid.

You may lay your fears to rest on that front.

[fourteenthscion]

Damaged personality? Hardly true, Miss Sola. And ah -- I hope you do not mind. Your name is a tad bit long, and I do not want to waste my breath.

[They will be the best of friends. He can feel it.]

Do you mean that you will not harm them more than you have already? Because I am afraid you have already done much damage to Diarmuid.

You would be wise not to do the same with Issei.

[Video]

[hyphenated]

No, that is acceptable. But one who outrightly declares violent intentions can only be described as damaged or foolish. You do not appear foolish.

My wording did not indicate any mention of the past. Intentions only apply to the future from here-on in.

And I would sooner die than harm Issei.

[Video]

[fourteenthscion]

My. Thank you for the compliment, Miss Sola. As you say, I am not foolish. However, I am not "damaged". I am merely protective of those I care about... As you would understand, if you feel the same for Issei.

Is that not right?

[Video]

[hyphenated]

I suppose so. At least I know that you apparently care about him.

[Video]

[fourteenthscion]

Thank you for understanding, then.

[Well. Things just got awkward.] Well then. Now that my inner thoughts have been vocalized, it is a pleasure to have finally met you, Miss Sola.

[She doesn't seem... too... bad...

Of course, he doesn't know what he's saying.]
