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.

[moraled]

Rather...in the end, you were unlike anyone else I could have ever met.

[And so!!!

Here they are....]

[alcobrawlic]

Then that means I'm perfect for you! I like the sound of that.

[moraled]

[Sara...]

That was not in the least what I was saying.

[Harrumph!!

...]

Though I believe it would not be incorrect even so.

[alcobrawlic]

... I was gonna say, I think getting shy at this point would be a little silly.

[ Considering they've bathed together, made out, and done pretty much everything except the sex. ]

[moraled]

[Y...eah........]

I do not believe it would benefit our relationship in any particular way.

[He, too, has grown.]

I would not sacrifice this comfort with you for anything.

[alcobrawlic]

That's just as well, since I think I'm up to feeling a little selfish when it comes to you.

[moraled]

[Sara...]

I must profess I fail to see how such a thing could be selfishness...when I completely and utterly agree to it.

[alcobrawlic]

I meant more like selfishness in case anyone totally wanted our company today, but...

[moraled]

[...Sara...]

Then I suppose I was speaking on a much grander scale.

[HE'S NOT TAKING IT BACK NOW.]

[alcobrawlic]

... [ Oh, Barnham. ]

Has anyone told you that you're seriously cute?

[moraled]

[...A sigh.]

Quite frankly, no, not a single soul before yourself.

[...]

I believe your view of the situation may be somewhat...different.

[alcobrawlic]

[ Okay, she has to raise an eyebrow. ]

I mean, maybe that's got something to do with being the first person to kiss you? Or maybe not the first, but--

[ Still. ]

[moraled]

[Sara pls!!]

...Even before that, your view was quite different from anyone I had met, I believe.

[Sara just...always seemed to see him differently.

Which he appreciates in more ways than he can say.]

[alcobrawlic]

... Well, let me think. You had your higher-ups who you disobeyed to do what was right, which means they were probably stiffer than you, so not anything at all like me...

And your fans, right? I could see why you'd get a different point of view from me.

[moraled]

[... Well, when you put it that way...!!]

... I suppose that is correct, yes.

Your point of view was new and refreshing--truthfully, I still find it to be so.

[alcobrawlic]

And is that the only part of me you find refreshing?

[ ... are her eyes sparkling, probably. ]
