"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ ... ]

Have you ever thought about it?

[ YEP STEERING THIS BACK TO HER. ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ EUGEO WHY. ]

S-somewhat...? I mean, there was a lot going on, and I don't know if I'd be a very good bride if someone ever even considered me.

[willbreak]

[ Because he no like spotlight. ]

I think you'd do fine as a bride...

[ No Eugeo this is not how you reassure someone ]

...... A-and I'll support you with whoever you choose!!

[bloodandblunder]

[ this is really not how you reassure someone ]

... Thank you. [ don't think about it Noire nope nope nope ] I'll definitely support you too!

[willbreak]

[ cough. ]

I really don't think I'll be getting married anytime soon, though...

[ aka never. ]

[bloodandblunder]

That's fine, though...? I mean, I may not be there when you do, but I'll support you from a distance!

[ see, she can even smile! ]

[willbreak]

[ and he can smile back! ]

You're the best, Noire.

[bloodandblunder]

Ah-- isn't it only natural to support your friends?

[ don't blush don't blush... ]

[willbreak]

That's true...

[ sudden sigh of RELIEF. ]

But really, thanks a lot for this.

[ Morgan was definitely wrong, there's no way Noire could like him romantically. Misunderstandings all around! ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ yep, there's no way, aren't you glad you didn't say anything embarrassing, what a fun talk this has been! ]

You're... welcome? [ why does he look so relieved, though? ] Are you sure you're all right?

[willbreak]

[ Have a relieved laugh, too. ]

Yeah, I'm fine now. What about you?

[bloodandblunder]

[ "now"? ]

I'm all right... I was just wondering why you were suddenly interested in marriage.

[willbreak]

Aah, there was just something confusing me before. Don't worry about it!

[bloodandblunder]

Something... confusing you about marriage?

[ well, if he'd been chopping a tree his whole life, that... sort of made sense, in a very puzzling way. ]

[willbreak]

Kind of.

[bloodandblunder]

I don't remember saying anything that helpful, but...

[willbreak]

No, you were very helpful, believe me!

[ Nothing can faze him right now. ]

[bloodandblunder]

...

[ SHE IS SO CONFUSED. ] H-how? Do you feel better about getting married now? [ is that it? Did he think she wouldn't support him? ]

[willbreak]

..... Let's say that!

[bloodandblunder]

... All right. [ except when she thinks about it, it makes her feel a little... ]

[willbreak]

...

[ Is it just him or does she look a little upset? ]

I'm sure you'll get married before me.

[bloodandblunder]

... I'm not so sure.

[willbreak]

Really... I'm sure.

So if you're worried about being left behind [ because she'd said that, hadn't she? ], don't be.

[bloodandblunder]

That's... not it. I think it's okay to wait for things like that

[willbreak]

... So you are worried about something.
