Re: 354

I was hardly injured or distressed, I'm quite well.

Do forgive me if I'm nosy my dear, but why did you want me to shoot you?

Re: 354

I... no, it’s a perfectly reasonable question. Everything happened so fast, I just... didn’t want to see anyone else get hurt. She acted in my defense so... my instinct was that I should be the one to take responsibility for that.

Re: 354

Why is that? She is master of her own actions, is she not?

Re: 354

[overworker]

I know, but I still... I still wanted to stop her. I didn’t want to see anyone else hurt— not from your unit or mine.

Re: 354

Did she not feel the same about you, enough to do what she did?

Re: 354

[overworker]

I... yes. I know it was reckless. I wasn’t thinking. I just wanted to be able to do... something.

I won't scold you, it isn't my place.

What do you do for fun, Serenity?

[As the parfait is set down, she’ll take a small bit before answering.]

Well... I enjoy baking, reading and stargazing for starters. I also try to get out to the onsen once in a while to relax, but that doesn’t always happen.

When is the last time you've been?

Re: 354

Ah... it’s... probably been close to a month now, actually.
