Who: Apartment O + you? door is open
When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

[she dispels it, looking up, curious (if a bit tired)]

It does? That's what you can do, right?

You could start a rivalry? But I thought that might get a little too crazy for you.

[Nods and holds up her hand. It's takes more effort and concentration if she's human, but after a few moments, a shield forms over her hand.] It took a while to figure out how to get it to work. [And then dispels it.]

No, I can't say I'm terribly interested in starting rivalries.

That's so neat. I should ask you for tips. I didn't see the need to really know it back home, but here, it's a lot more useful.

See? That's why the best solution is to have two guys fighting for your honor.

Must there be fighting? That doesn't seem like a very sensible way to go about things.

They could have a series of formal debates?

That's. Slightly more sensible, I suppose.

If they're struggling for your favor, you can set the rules! No blows to kill, no haircuts, etc.

How about I simply pick one and the other agrees to go away?

I guess... Seems kind of anti-climactic, though.

It's sensible.

Like I said.

What if you can't decide?

Then I'd ask them to leave me alone so I could have time to decide, or perhaps tell them to pursue other women if I couldn't... Anyway, it isn't as if any of this will ever be relevant.

Why not? You're plenty cute and sweet and sensible, even! I'd think you'd have guys knocking down your door if Ashikawa weren't scaring them away.

That's just ridiculous... And even in the extremely hypothetical case where it wasn't, they'd have to contend to with Crown too.

Yeah, but Ashikawa's probably a bigger threat. And it's totally not ridiculous! You are positively charming!

[fluster fluster]

Don't be silly, you're far more charming than I could ever be.

I'm a lot of things, but charming isn't one of them. But you're the real deal! You should work it!

Yeah, I get that. It was traumatic. You're proving MY point.

Um, no biggie. Uh, how's it going?

Of all the ridiculous things you've said so far this may well be the most ridiculous.

Don't be silly, this is hardly in the top three. I'm gonna prove it!

Prove what?
