absolutely open to anyone!

[flatteries]

Er-- if you would all excuse me, I am looking for a certain lovely person.

[ And Inigo doesn't know what filtered thinking is. Or trying to think towards one person in general. He's new to all this telepathic stuff, okay.. and sort of an idiot, hence why everyone can just plainly hear this if they don't choose to ignore the voice. ]

I've been having terrible difficulties finding them by myself, so I figured this might be the right approach for the matter. This is about the beautiful Mitsuhide who I was told of! And according to the information I have received, the two of us could start a "beautiful relationship".. if you know what I mean. [ Inigo, that's gay. ]

So it would not do to let you go without my company for much longer! If anyone knows of their current whereabouts, or if you're hearing it yourself, fair Mitsuhide, please let me know!

[ Sounds like someone skipped over a gender detail or two while explaining this to Inigo, huh.. ]

Comments

Longer than Inigo takes in bed OH SNAP

[rightfully]

[ But, there seems to have been a grave miscommunication here… That’s all Lucina is trying to indicate. Without actually indicating it. ]

Perhaps so, but… she might not appreciate being put on the spot like this. All can hear you. You realise that, right?

.... and that night inigo cried himself to sleep..

[flatteries]

Well, I was assuming most people would ignore it.. [ As if you can just ignore loud voices in your head.. but since some people seemed to have done this for a long time, he figures some people are just capable of mentally blocking it out for a while or something? He blinks a few times to himself. ]

After all, it's a message meant for Mitsuhide, that much is pretty clear! And perhaps this way someone might be able to help me find her if she is too shy to seek the first contact with me herself instead.

Every night, you mean

[rightfully]

[ Lucina wants to facepalm. Her patience is dwindling somewhat, but it wouldn’t help to scold him. It’s not like they’re in the middle of a battle, after all. She has time to handle things more gently now. ]

Regardless, anyone who has an open message such as this directed at them may feel pressured to respond. You cannot force this sort of thing, brother.

ssh, not everyone has to know!!

[flatteries]

Then what do you expect me to do?! It's not exactly as if I can take this message back now, right?

[ It's not angry as much as.. well, helplessness, maybe. Lucina is scolding him over this, but surely she knows this is just his way of coping, that he doesn't know how to do these things otherwise - and this time it's already been done, anyway. Time travel can't fix everything, you know. ]

Besides, you know I would not willingly hurt anyone!

[rightfully]

[ ...

Well, now she just feels bad. Lucina's mouth pulls downward, and the tense lines in her expression soften. Her words, when they come, are gently given - more so than they had been moments earlier. ]

I know, Inigo. Believe me, I know the content of your character better than any here. You do not need to take it back. I only ask that you consider your actions more carefully in the future. You're not a child anymore.

[flatteries]

[ He's about to say something in return, but the change in tone combined with the last line is what makes him (mentally) shut up for a moment instead. That's right, he's not a child anymore. He knows it. He cna't just keep up fooling around like this forever, but he really doesn't know how to act any other way than this.

-- In a sense, he's still a child, hiding behind acts and his older sister. But he can't be any longer, now they had to become their own people after saving that other timeline. And he still doesn't know how to. ]

.. I understand.

[ It's why it's less harsh than he had been a moment ago too, although it instead makes way for something that sounds a little more uncertain, a little more like he's covering up the hollow feeling all those thoughts give him. ]

I just.. [ ... ] Someone told me that I should meet her, so I just wanted to make her smile.. I'm sorry if I acted foolishly.

[rightfully]

[ Much as she might wish to, Lucina can’t fault that. Hearing the earnestness behind Inigo’s intent tugs at her heartstrings. No matter how foolishly her brother may behave, she knows his heart is in the right place. It makes her want to be protective, solicitous. Sighing, she relents. ]

It’s alright, Inigo. No harm done.

[ They’re not fighting a war, so she can be a bit softer. Right? ]

I should tell you about Mitsuhide, though—

[ (Unless you want to interrupt her so as to not break the time-space threadinuum, Jelle.) ]

[flatteries]

It's alright.

[ He is indeed quick to interrupt when she starts. Not with the same enthusiasm as before - it's a little more muted, a little more soft, but at least he's smiling to himself again. Even if it might just be a little bit. ]

I promise I won't do anything strange with them, that wasn't my intention at all. [ Despite what it sounded like. ] Mitsuhide and I are merely going to talk for a while-- I promise I won't embarrass you.

[ No promises about not embarrassing himself though, considering that's exactly what he's unwittingly doing here.. ]

Oh..! In fact, I think someone else is trying to contact me right now. [ It's.. a little strange, but it's like there's another voice tugging out to his mind in the middle of the fuss in the background of every telepathic conversation. ] I shall tell you all about how it went later, alright? Please don't worry until then.

[rightfully]

[ Lucina really, really thinks she ought to be allowed to share this information...




...but Inigo has already ended their conversation to go speak to someone else. Lucina grimaces, but endures it. Maybe the potential awkwardness will teach him about behaving like this in a way her words cannot. ]
