[ it seems impossible to even think of something like love - even a fake love for a game, like this one. It would be a mere distraction: nothing more, and, worse, nothing less. The shadow of his situation looms over him like a hawk poised to snatch him away the moment his mind wanders. ]
Some doth make companionable conversation. But to make claims of courtship would be foolish indeed.
[Eyebrows hitching up, mildly surprised. But in a pleasant way; it’s good to have left a positive impression on him.]
Oh.
[oh no softie mode alert 🚨 Verso worries a bit at his lower lip, considering.]
Would you like to be up on stage with me instead, then? My picks in mind were strategic, yes, but there’s nothing to say you aren’t either. Just… in a different way.
[ second wtf of the night for messmer. even after hundreds of years, he's not used to people doing these things for him - especially strangers who lack the religious fervor of his Fire Knights. ]
Thinkest thee I possess a spirit so feeble? Mine words wert to ease the minds that yet rightly fear me, not to cry out for pity. Heed thy strategies, Verso.
[ all the people here are so soft... he supposes they know nothing of him, after all. ]
Come on, don’t balk at the idea too much. It isn’t pity; I mentioned to someone already that I thought you might be a match consideration if I got to know you more, so while this might be news to you, it’s been in my head for a couple of days.
[So there!]
And it’s still a good strategy, maybe even one that helps us a little more. If you have a shorter list of contestants you find companionable, it’d be a shame not to test compatibility.
[Whereas Verso gets along with many and each pairing narrows down less in comparison.]
