[ Not enough wooing, obviously. Sara raises an eyebrow at this, though, before she sighs and folds her arms over her chest. ]

Don't think about it like that. If you want to protect the people here, do it because you want to, not for any reason like repenting. The people you killed-- they understand. [ Mostly. ] And they forgave you, didn't they? You've got nothing to drag you back there now.

[moraled]

... They did, and they did understand. But even so, I feel... in the pursuit of "good", I forgot my own duty, or cast it aside.

In this place, with the duty of a bracer first and foremost... I believe I can make amends for that.

[He can remember how to put his duty first--it'll be even easier, when his duty will be protecting civilians regardless.]

[alcobrawlic]

... Well, I guess that's about what I expected. You wouldn't be happy if you weren't trying to protect everyone anyway.

[moraled]

Yes.

[And...he smiles.]

This way... I shall finally be able to properly protect everyone.

[Not just the people he was "allowed" to protect.]

[alcobrawlic]

... You know? I like the sound of that.

[ And to see him smiling again, like it isn't an actual strenuous act. ]

[moraled]

As do I.

[It's been wearing on him--Robowest, but also the witches, and everything that happened...]

This, I believe, is my chance to begin anew, and live life as I wish to.

[alcobrawlic]

So in the end, you had a secret wish deep in your heart to have a hot girlfriend, huh?

[ Don't kill the moment, Sara. ]

[moraled]

[Sara...]

Rather, I feel that is the most unexpected of all things in this new beginning...

[alcobrawlic]

... Saying that when you've thrown yourself into an entirely new world...

[moraled]

... I stand by it.

[SARA IS DEFINITELY THE MOST UNEXPECTED THING OF ALL to happen to him.]

[alcobrawlic]

... I think I'll just go ahead and take that as a compliment.

[moraled]

[A nod, simply and accepting.]

You are certainly unlike anyone I have ever met before.

It is rather easy for me to say such a thing, truth be told.

[Sara makes him happy, and she's unexpected in every, amazing way.]

[alcobrawlic]

Well, you reminded me of someone I know here-- but in your own way, you're completely different. I'm fine with that.

[moraled]

[... Hm.]

Shall I meet this person I seem to have reminded you of?

[alcobrawlic]

...

[ urgh. ]

I don't think I'm ready for that yet.

[moraled]

[wow!!]

Dare I ask what that is supposed to mean?

[alcobrawlic]

I mean that's too much formality in one room.

[moraled]

[He snorts softly at that.]

That is true, more formality would likely drive you mad.

[alcobrawlic]

Exactly. [ She's already grimacing. ] I get that he's a military guy, and you were some kind of knight, but there's only so much I can take.

[moraled]

[Sara........]

And yet, you have been drawn to me nonetheless.

[A blink.]

How strange.

[alcobrawlic]

Well, it's not like you're the exact same person. I fell for you because even though you were stiff and formal, it didn't mean you were a stickler for rules to the point that you were unreasonable about it. And you appreciate me a hell of a lot more, trust me.

[ Calling her a good instructor... ]

[moraled]

[...Cute... that's cute.]

... Well, nothing that I have said has been an untruth about you, so I suppose I simply see you more clearly than he does.

I find that I have no issues with that, however.

[alcobrawlic]

I'd be a little worried if you did. I figured you'd be more attracted to the formal type, too, though...

[ Well. They'd kind of proved each other wrong in more ways than one. ]

[moraled]

[...Look, his last (formal and crazy) crush threw him into prison.]

...Ah, no. Nothing further from the sort could possibly be true.

I find this suits me perfectly.

[alcobrawlic]

I see... [ with a smirk, but that's really to hide that she's endeared. ]

In the end, you're weak to the lively ones.
