@ButsuriSeigyo "Precisely." Chooses to ignore the follow up inquiry.
"That & the timeline distortion children from the future (again). Things of that nature are of no interest to me."
"My pleasure," he waves his hands so that more champagne & juice would pour into his cup.
"Someone has to give it to you. If not yourself or your- well- Yoshiro, might as well be me."
"Of course he does," Kullervo says dismissively.
"Just means there's more opportunity for you to do what you want when you're both having your /own/ time."
“When we discussed it he wasn’t pleased, so… I haven’t talked to him about it since the first discussion.” She looked back over at him. “He’s usually busy anyway.”
She looked over at him, “I haven’t gotten any new assignments from Soren. I’ve taken care of some private jobs, but I feel like Yoshi doesn’t really approve of my work…”
Things were always relative.
"That aside," setting down his now empty glass "What of yourself? Yoshiro has his plans, you've inquired as to mine, yet you seem quite docile." Gives her a look.
"Is there no spark you've been pursuing?"
"Having a hard time just means I need a helping hand. And the hands surrounding her seem plenty helpful to that end. Strong enough to get the job done too." sighs and picks his glass up again for another sip
"It would be nice though."
"I said it was tempting, not that I was suicidal." sets his glass down
"I know my limitations. Even if I wanted to put my 'hand in her cookie jar' so to speak, she's surrounded by too many other epic-tier mages for me to get away unscathed. Let alone alive."
"Victory by any means necessary~ hadn't I told Ken that recently?" He takes another sip from his glass.
"And as much fun as you in a pop star dress sounds- I believe we already have a popstar to enjoy."
“Trickery, bribery, slight of hand… so long as it gets the outcome you want.” She sipped at her glass. “Next you’ll be trying to convince me to take on the role of some pop star to sway the masses.” She rolled her eyes.
