[Hmm... how to answer that? She just seems so happy, he doesn't want to say something that would disrupt that. Although she's asked for honesty, and hiding his more negative thoughts or opinions, even with her, has never been his style.

Well then.]

I'm a private person. It's difficult for anyone to be accepted into my social circle.

[He just isn't very good at making friends, okay.]

I see. So how do you suppose I could enter this social circle, Asch?

...Hn. I'm talking to you without being coerced, so you have a good chance already. There's no need to do anything special.

Well then, this is fortunate news indeed. I see my charms have worked.

The charms of a princess are supposed to be effective in diplomatic situations.

[It's... kind of cute, this little banter. They really did need something like this- he'd never imagined they could talk so casually before.]

The charms of a Princess are useful whenever she can put her mind to it. [just rests her chin in her hands, looking haughty if not for how amused she looked at the moment. ]

--Of course a Princess..has her moments. For example, deserts are not usually a friend of a Princess.

Deserts aren't a friend to anyone. That's why they're deserted.

[...And he still has those Fabre moments, yep.]

[she pauses, stares, and then she just..covers her mouth and starts laughing. ]

Asch--I believe that was a joke you just made.

[jkdhfkdf wh-why did she have to point it out like that...]

S... so what!?

I think I can safely say you also have a sense of humor! [she smiles kindly]
I'll keep it between us.

...Tch...

[It's not a very good sense of humour, he'll certainly admit to that. Especially since pointing him out just makes him cranky.]

You can still make me laugh. [she offers a fond smile. ]
Asch, I did have one thing I wanted to make sure you also knew.

While getting to know one another in Luceti, I..hope you know that you are always welcome to this house. And that perhaps..we could keep meeting like this.

Am I asking too much, you suppose?

...It's not like there's any harm in asking.

[He certainly isn't going to berate her for it. Or blame her, either; if their roles had been reversed, he'd probably want to see her more often as well. ...Anyway, he wouldn't protest to keep this up, if... it's what she really wants.

Maybe over time it'll get easier.]

...We can do that.

..Thank you, Asch. [the look on her face is full of gratitude. it's not one easily named. ]

--This means a lot to me.

[He knows. It's somewhat egotistical, but... he's seen her enough times, he's witnessed what his presence alone will do to her. He's been frustrated by it before.

Maybe... this will help.]

I understand.

..That's all I want. [For you to understand. She smiles and gets up, going to get more tea.]

[He's quiet for a moment, then rises to follow her, standing behind her. He hates to do this, but...]

I have to go.
