[taking hold of her hand and kissing it affectionately.]

Mm... metaphysical, really.

[blushes, and her eyes dart around a little self-consciously, but then she sits down next to him]

I'm sure. I'm just saying... generally when people are fighting their inner demons or whatever, there are no actual knives involved.

[k. but he's still gonna hold her hand.]

Yeah... those weren't my inner demons. I thing they were Mr. Naked King's?

[that is fine.]

It did seem like he was in charge. I'm not sure I want to know what that outfit says about him. Metaphysically.

... he thinks he's hot stuff?

Which, in that get up...

[come the fuck on.]

He has a very misguided idea of what 'hot stuff' looks like.

Probably why he has a lot of little "minions" in that place.

... not really sure what it was but... weird.

...Yeah. Even if I just accept the 'persona' thing, there was clearly a lot going on there.

A'd probably know more about it quicker than I would. Probably.

Do you think so?

A probably know some kind of theorist who knows about metaphysics or something.

[A is a fucking nerd and it's adorable and useful.]

He's a detective, not some kind of philosopher...

Thesis and antithesis, Maki.

Literally how he introduced himself.

[he's. a nerd.]

[huff]

I guess that's true.

He's more book-read than me. And we still don't know who started in on this whole... persona thing first. Probably him, since he's older.

[--wait.]

... was older.

[herp.]

[it takes her a moment to process that]

...Ah.

[and then another to decide if she should say it]

...I don't think the mirror should count.

But all of the old man jokes I've been saving up...

[the least protesting of protests.]

[a smile, and she reaches over to poke his cheek]

You still look pretty young to me. You'll have to earn those jokes honestly.

[leaning into the touch and giving a put-upon sigh.]

I guess my face is still too gorgeous for old man jokes.

[she pulls her finger away, but only so she can lightly kiss his cheek in the same place]

You'll have to suffer through somehow.

[... he's. so much dokis?]

Though... speaking of all the mirror things...

There was a lot of... coping. With it during the game. With Sanguine and Phoenix...

[sorry, he tried???]

[blink, mostly of incomprehension]

What do you mean?

My first round was literally getting jumped and clung onto and kissed by Phoenix and Sanguine.

[and it... makes a kind of rolling gesture with his free hand.]

Mostly kissing, but... after we-- [gesturing between them] --and I went back to Bad End, Nine Nine got Sanguine to come back to the dorms and... Sanguine's been in a bad way--more times than the rest of us, so...

...I see. They did seem... badly off, even when I saw them.

[What with Phoenix's unhinged laughter and my teammate's helpful insanity mask and A dismembering Sanguine with an axe, among other things]

I guess... I'm glad if you could help?

[she sounds awkward, though]

[IT IS KIND OF AWKWARD...]

It's probably not the best way to deal with... the after effects.

But they didn't really have anyone there. To give them something to look forward to. And I'm pretty sure they didn't know how long it would be at the start, either.

[it was almost that for him, even.]

So if it helps them... I want to be able to.
