A lot happened yesterday.

[lighttrailblazer]

Yesterday was pretty busy. And you worked especially hard...

[fanstheflames]

We all did, not just me. Though I'm glad we managed to win, after all of that.

[lighttrailblazer]

We haven't lost once since I got here. We're pretty unstoppable...

You still look pretty tired. Want to relax a bit?

[fanstheflames]

Same goes for me.

And that sounds... amazing, honestly, but ugh. Wait. First things first.

[ DEEP BREATH. ]

We said we'd communicate if there was ever someone we liked or wanted to kiss, and there might be someone but I still don't quite know how I feel about him and I didn't want to do anything without telling you first because you're not any less important or precious to me and even if I like him, I'm not going to do a single thing if you're not okay with it.

I kind of just got clued in yesterday that he felt that way about me at all and then Vicious said him too but he's like a brother to me so that was easy to just say and I thought I should sleep on this thing first but also talk to you but I was tired and--

[ help. ]

[lighttrailblazer]

[ blink ]

I agree you should sleep on things... um, who's the person? It's not Kleken, is it? He's really popular with girls so I'd understand if it was though.

[fanstheflames]

I did sleep, I promise.

[ But talking was the next order of business. ]

And his name's Saturn. Kleken... I don't know how to put it. He feels like a dangerous person to put too much thought into right now and even if I tried, I don't think I'd know anything more than before.

[lighttrailblazer]

That's fair.

I don't think I've met Saturn, but... I feel like I've heard the name... --Oh! He was the third person in our pile after the monsters, right?

[fanstheflames]

... [ okay, she may be very stressed about all of this, but that gets her to snort a laugh. ]

Yep, that's him! Just like you, he overdid it with mental assistance.

[lighttrailblazer]

[ nods thoughtfully ]

Well... if kissing him would make you happy I support it, but... how do you feel about it?

[fanstheflames]

[ EXCELLENT QUESTION. ]

I like him a lot, but it's not like I like you any less. If I kissed him or developed any kind of relationship like we have, that wouldn't change how I feel about you... and I even sat and thought about it and there wasn't anyone else I know that gave me the same intense feeling I have for either of you.

But a lot of this is new to me so a big part of me kind of feels horrible for even thinking about it. Saturn said there's someone who's deeply involved with half his team and loves people from back home and then also has things going on with people outside of his team and I don't ever think I could be like that. But...

[ She still feels bad just for this. ]

[lighttrailblazer]

Half his team? He must be-- really efficient...

[ FOCUS, NAVI ]

Well... I don't think it would hurt my feelings if you also wanted to kiss Saturn, because you came to talk to me first...

Would it be weird for me to meet Saturn? Not in a like-- 'he has to get my permission' way or anything! Just, would it be less strange for you if we also became friends?

[fanstheflames]

I mean, even if I didn't want to do anything with him, I'd want you guys to meet. You're both important to me.

... Also he's really fond of Kleken so I feel like it'd be a good idea to meet you anyway.

But even with all of that... you're amazing, Navi. I definitely want to have you meet everyone I know.

[lighttrailblazer]

[ BLUSHES ]

I probably should get out more anyway. But if you like him AND Kleken likes him, he must be really likeable.

[fanstheflames]

That's two different methods of vouching, I think, but I also think you'd like him too.

... [ she kind of wobbles though, before she just. Plunks down on the floor. ]

I'm so glad you don't hate me...

[lighttrailblazer]

Of course I don't hate you!

[ PLUNKS DOWN NEXT TO HER SUPPORTIVELY ]

Would you hate ME in this scenario?

[fanstheflames]

Of course not! If you want to kiss or date anyone else, I'd be happy for you, I just-- I can't just assume it'd be the same for anyone, so--

[ hi, plunked boyfriend, she's just leaning against you. ]

[lighttrailblazer]

[ ARM AROUND HER SHOULDERS ]

Even if I wasn't okay with it, I wouldn't hate you over it! If I hated people that easily you probably wouldn't have liked me in the first place.

[fanstheflames]

I think hurting you would have been worse than you hating me, honestly.

[ why is he actually the best. ]

If you're seriously okay with it and whatever follows, I'll talk to him.

... Later.

[ She's still tired from thinking too hard and nerves. ]

[lighttrailblazer]

I'm seriously okay with it! But waiting until you're all rested up is also a good idea.

[ pets!! her hair!! ]

[fanstheflames]

[ That feels nice, honestly, and she closes her eyes. ]

Thanks. In the end, you're the best person to relax with.

[lighttrailblazer]

That's what being the Ultimate Support is all about!

... or so I'd say, but mostly this is all new to me too. I'm just going with what feels right.

[fanstheflames]

I think there's probably nothing wrong with that. [ with an amused little huff. ]
