w0 weekend, sunday

[malewife]

[ Well, it seems they are on at least neutral grounds? So when they cross paths again let's say... throws dart at the courtyard, Joonghyuk calls out to him. ]

I want to see what you can do.

[ Fighting. ]

[perspire]

--Do with what?

[malewife]

Fighting.

[ Yes. ]

[perspire]

Oh.

Really?

[ just wants to make sure?? ]

[malewife]

Would you rather get rusty?

[ THINK ABOUT IT. ]

[perspire]

--No, I wouldn't.

[ nods at him ]

Should we find someplace to do this?

[malewife]

[ Without even saying anything he comes at Bertolt with a swing. ]

w1 monday

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk seems to be deep in thought in this new setting, just lingering around the courtyard with Niah who has taken his wolf form as usual.

When he sees Bertolt though, he lifts his head a bit. ]

Do you know how to swim?

[perspire]

[ oh that catches him by surprise but he has to think about it for a moment ]

Uh... I guess?

[ doesn't sound too sure about it honestly ]

[malewife]

[ .......................... ]

You guess?

[perspire]

Well, when I was training, there were rivers we could go swim in for break days but... I was always taller. So it was always kind of awkward?

[malewife]

... But you are still not sure.

[ BERTOLT. ]

[perspire]

I would... just walk?

[ DON'T JUDGE ME ]

w1 saturday, post-trial

[malewife]

[ Wherever Bertolt is held, Joonghyuk is going to visit!! Niah pads after him obediently. ]

You took a beating.

[perspire]

I did, didn't I

[malewife]

Yes, you did. Even though you’ll most likely have to fight for your life tomorrow.

[ The words seem harsh, but… It’s only a soft chiding. ]

Why did you kill?

[perspire]

It wouldn't be the first time.

[ lol ]

On Tuesday, an Angel made of Dust came to me, wanting to talk. As we talked, it felt like... I was being made to listen. They told me that if I wanted to go home faster, that if I wanted to protect my friends at home, I'd help them keep order by taking out the other side.

[malewife]

[ He frowns at that… YOU ARE JUST A TEEN. ]

… I see. You were asked to do it.

When you say it felt like you’re being made to listen, do you mean you couldn’t doubt them? Or reject them?

[perspire]

Like... I couldn't stop listening to them. I didn't have a reason to not believe them.

week 4, masquerade (BACKDATED)

[perspire]

[ Taking a moment to walk outside where the masquerade is being held, Bertolt finds himself with a chance to breathe as he gets away from everyone. He tugs at the collar of his shirt, his deer ears flicking on top of his head.

In spite of how tired he is, there's still no stopping the smile on his face. ]

[malewife]

[ i knew he was the hornt........ ]

Enjoying yourself on the other side?

[perspire]

[ it's not like he was the only awkward one......

but he turns to joonghyuk and gives him a smile and a nod ]

[malewife]

... How is the realm you are all in?

[ He hasn't heard much about what it is like. ]

[perspire]

[ thinks about it for a second before raising a hand and makes an "it's alright" gesture ]

[malewife]

No torture?
