[ lux just assumes this means they dueled for her honor or something, because that's how it would work for her. in fact: ]

I see. I've seen similar things before.

... Though, not the part I actually saw.

From:

alitaba

[ i mean, she's right but also incredibly wrong. but futabs just rolls with it ]

Yeah, us either...! It was really scary, wondering if that had been us that caused it. But it turned out someone [ AKECHI ] in and hurt him after we left

From:

illuminance

[ again, lux just assumes she means someone poisoned him after their duel, which, again, makes total sense to her. ]

That must have been frightening, until you learned the truth... And difficult for your friend - his daughter?

From:

alitaba

[ tbh she's still not wrong ]

Yeah.....! Haru-chan was really upset understandably. She was MIA for a while but I guess there's a whole bunch of paperwork that goes into being an heir to a whole company.

From:

illuminance

I can imagine. An inheritance is always a heavy burden. And even the loss of a cruel father is still a loss to reckon with.

From:

alitaba

[ rocks back and forth nodding ]

She was really lucky though. We were all there to support her afterwards.

[ is that a hint of wistful jealousy in your voice, futaba? ]

From:

illuminance

[ ah... that's enough to distract lux from her own i would not know what it's like to be supported? train of thought.

she reaches out to touch futaba's shoulder, but hesitates and ultimately drops her hand back to her own lap. ]

... That was kind of you. I'm sure it meant a lot to her.

From:

alitaba

[ too bad futaba sees that and just takes her hand to plop on her head instead. pat her!! ]

Haru's the best person ever. She deserves everything. ...Even if she is a little scary with an axe.

From:

illuminance

[ hah. that earns a smile from lux. ]

I find that all the people I admire most are very threatening, with a weapon.

From:

alitaba

[ she nods fervently. ]

You'd never expect it from her! She's cute and fluffy like a sheep but then give her a chance and there she goes wielding an axe and grenade launcher with a smile!

It's the best thing ever.

From:

illuminance

Sounds lovely.

When you're cute, you must know how to take care of yourself. Just because people don't expect it is no reason not to!

From:

alitaba

[ continues nodding ]

I was really worried cause Haru's such a delicate hime type. But wow... her strength might be quiet but it's mighty.

[ she loves her sheep teammate ]

From:

illuminance

Delicate may not be the most apt word. By the sound of things.

[ that must be nice. lux thinks it's sweet - she never has teammates for long enough to grow attached. ]

From:

alitaba

It's the way people portray her. Even when we met it was a little like that.

[ nods ]

She's a quiet, proper heiress, right? No way would she do something like grenade launch somebody in the face!

[ which she, in fact, has done. ]
