I'm not denying that I care about them. But I already know it won't last. Other than Noctua, none of them know they've been deceived. Their love is for the face I chose to show them. As for Noctua...

[That one he at least can't say is fake. But that's still not okay!]

...He's the last person who should invest in me. He knows it's only temporary.

[ Reaches out




Flicks his forehead ]

[cryovision]

Ow! You...

[He tries to make a grumpy face but it's just kind of pathetic.

...Instead, he's going to go for another drink. That's the clear answer here.]

[ I mean that's why the bucket of wine is here ]

He has free will, just as anyone else.

What he should or shouldn't do, he decided for himself. And Master Noctua isn't one to make his choices lightly.

[cryovision]

[yeah and he's gonna drink the whole bucket]

Master Noctua seems to be under the impression he can rewrite fate by being stubborn. And you of all people should know that's not true.

[outofoffice]

I of all people don't believe in predetermined fate.

And I know exactly how powerful stubborn people can be.

[cryovision]

Hmph. Then when I fall, it'll be my own weakness. Either way, I'm just a sinful existence. And last time he realised that, he left.

[outofoffice]

Not if you choose to be one of those stubborn people yourself.

[He is not quite drunk enough to just say "I can't because I SUCK". Therefore, his only recourse is to just say nothing at all and make faces at his wine.]

Besides, they'll drag you back by the ear no matter what, and then all you'll be able to do is pout cutely!

[cryovision]

[does not have the heart to swat himmmm]

...Well, you're right that if I did pout, it would be cute.

[outofoffice]

[ Laughs, dropping it ]

Of course! I would never accuse you of being uncute, Pavo.

[cryovision]

Good. I work very hard on it.
