Yes, I thought it was very clever myself. Though if I'm honest, there are still gentlemen I'd like to know a little better, if they'll still have my company.

[She doesn't want to write off or be written off by any of them just yet; her words do come out sounding a little worried.]

As for the rest, I thought I'd choose... based on who might be most likely to fit those other criteria.
scooptimistic: (Arara indeed)

I think the way you phrased it is fine. It's not entirely ruling out men, though do those guidelines, so to speak, apply to anyone of either gender? Traveling with you and all of that.

[ If the guys get offended, that's their problem! ]

That part isn't any different, no matter who it is.

I have no way of knowing what else they were taking into account when they made my match, but I'd like to be with someone who will learn about the world alongside me, even if they can't come all the time. [Or maybe even teach her... or even stand beside her as she takes it all in.]
scooptimistic: (I guess it's time for the ponder pose)

Learn about the world...

[ Hm. ]

Maybe me and Ringo... but I think also Yingying? From what she told me, she hasn't ever really had this kind of freedom before.

I don't know if she wants me to be myself for any reason other than teasing me.

[They've never been in a position to find out if Yingying will keep pushing even Furina is clearly at her heckling limit, and for some reason, Furina is not exactly jumping to find that out.]

... But I imagine it's been difficult for her to travel before, due to her responsibilities.
scooptimistic: (That actually looks concerning)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. For someone who seems so... capricious, I think she's got a lot on her shoulders.

And I think with your keen gaze and attentiveness, you might be able to see past it.

But in the end, it's also up to you what you want to press harder for and what you don't. We all have that right.

Ah--

[Maya's words send a tiny electric jolt through her. Yingying being unable to leave her guardianship even for a short while... she'd already noticed that when Yingying had talked about the Wisteria, hadn't she?]

I'd hate to have you trying to run me down for an exclusive interview, Miss Maya. You see things very clearly. I'll think about what you've said.
scooptimistic: (Let's break it immediately)

You learn how to observe when you want to see the truth of things, not just what other people want or choose to believe at face value, that's all.

[ With a smile. ]

But thanks, Furi.

Misdirection must not work on you for long, either. I bet a magician hates to see you coming.

[She'd get along so well with Charlotte...too well. They can't possibly be allowed to meet.]

Hehe, I've had plenty of titles, but never a nickname like that. [Especially not, she means, one that felt like it was poking fun at her in a way that hadn't yet been outlawed.]
scooptimistic: (My god that's actually smart)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Does it bother you?

[ Maybe she should have thought to ask first. ]

Hm... [Well, it does bring back certain memories, but what else has she wanted besides a fresh beginning, once she has fully unbound herself from the past?]

I don't believe it does. But this is just a privilege, so don't get publishing it, all right?
scooptimistic: (This is a smile you'll probably regret)

I'm very professional in my articles, worry not!

[ No nicknames to be found! ]
