And we're going to avoid it.

How perverse, Mr. Eusebius. Doesn't fit?

No, you're just choosing a different kind of trouble. Sacrificing closeness with non-family for closeness with family.

Then you caught my drift, to an extent, yes?

Mmm... at least not right now. It feels false. Like acting. And being how I am, I feel compelled to tear that down. Obsessive compulsive, you might say.

Because I'll have to live with them for years once I leave.

Of course I did. I might be rich, but It doesn't mean my brain is bad.

I like acting.

And a keen, business savvy attitude that focuses on elegant refinement rather than obnoxious flaunting is bad...

Decadence can rot things away... but confirmation was mostly for my sake at the moment. Don't want to misunderstand the situation again.

Then why not 'act' with parents and just let things be here?

Yes. Because I'm so rich, I don't even need to touch the companies involved. "Good game", I belive some say.

Smart girl. Just selfish, self absorbed, snooty, arrogant, rude, mean, obnoxious. ... Why does that sound familar, Eusebius?

... Afraid it won't just be left 'Here'.

Still, elegant refinement inspires far more loyalty. I believe the Taoists called it "Wu Wei".

...hard telling, although I probably have some of those qualities.

Three years is a lot of time. You could always take several months to 'readjust', if needed.

Never heard of it.

I think they're common here, really.

Readjust? What are you getting at... damnit, I can't call you a commoner.

"Action without action." The notion that a ruler could be wise enough, and carry himself in such a way that the country would run itself down to the most insignificant person, inspired by his example.

...probably. I am working on those faults, though... even if I regress.

...hmm? Problem?

Heh. Possibly. But I doubt it.

We all regress.

YOU HAVE MILLIONS. THIS ANGERS ME.

Though. Readjusting. Explain.

Still a very noble and high-class aspiration.

What matters is how we proceed from there.

Because it means someone like me is technically in your social class?

Taking several months to get used to acting like you do, after spending a couple years acting more true to yourself. Then you'd be able to return home without having changed much, from what they see.

It is, but not for me.

Exactly.

Yes. ::If she said it in real life, the venom would be splooging::

Like that will work, Eusebius.

Which is why I question your taste.

...heh... Technically I'm in a higher class... I just don't care to flaunt it... ~~...as much...~~

It could.

...well, it seems you've calmed down considerably. After a nights rest you'll go back to how you were... if you'd rather I didn't join you and Shikou for Polo just let me know tomorrow.

Old Draconic "Might Makes Right" family of sorts. Not bad people, but we believe on leaning on people.

Shut up.

Keh. I highly doubt that.

No. I'm not going to exclude you. You've been as much as help as you have been a problem.

Which, again, is a kind of life I'm trying to leave behind.

I could push the point further... but I think this is quite enough for tonight... and probably a while.

But you have to admit there's at least a possibility, even if you think it's slim.

Hmm... Well, I suppose I'll see you on Saturday then.

And unless things change for me, I have to embrace my life.

Do you like making me angry?

It's the chances of Yuuki Juudai, with no outside sources, becoming a girl spontanously.

See you then.

...not really... but arguing it will go in circles, so I'll relent.

Depends on how obnoxious I feel you're being at the time.

Far better odds than that. Try... Juudai getting a girl, without some kind of brainwashing. Unless, of course... you simply aren't up to the task.

Righto. I suppose a "Good night" then.

You have to be Wakahisa Noriko.

Fuck off.

e.e You're bluffing.

Goodnight.

♪ Better than you~ ♫

...bluffing? About what?

About your scheme. It will go wrong and I'll never be able to return to myself because you cocked it up.

You might change, yes... but if you really are as good an actor as you seem to believe, that shouldn't change things too terribly much. Not so much as to cause any major problems in the family. Just a sort of 'Oh, so sorry, forgot that thing. You know, being in the trenches with commoners for a bit, you forget the finer points sometimes.'.

... Bite me.

Still. I need to sleep. We're talk tomorrow if you wish.

I think that's Shikou's department.

Agreed. Again, goodnight.
