Oh, did you? /smiles/ That’s nice… /stands and sits on the bench she was laying on/ Perhaps you should sit…

Si, I should. *sits down next to her, leaning back with a sigh* And how have you been..?

I’ve been… alright, I suppose. /smiles tiredly/ Things have been rather hectic…

So I’ve heard. Something to do with trades..?

…Perhaps he’ll learn from his mistakes… You’re too nice to give up on, Cyril. If he has any common sense, he’ll come back to you and fix everything he has done wrong. *rests his head on Cyril’s, patting him on the back* I do what I can.

Maybe. *smiles lightly* Don’t really think I’m worth it, but you never know, yeah?

Anway, thanks for listening to me bitch. I know you have better things to do, but it was nice to talk to someone - to a friend - about this stuff.

You’re not confident enough in yourself. *flashes a stupid grin* Of course you are worth it.

And it’s the least I can do to listen, even if I don’t have any good advice to offer… *nods* I’ll be in my barracks over the next few days, should you need to talk to me.

*frowns deeper as he speaks on, and loosely wraps his arm around him* Jealousy isn’t necessarily a bad thing, is it? Not when you know when to put your foot down and get it across to them… If you are unhappy with how he’s acting, he should change for you, right? And the same goes with you to him.

…Maybe I’m just talking nonsense, I’ve never been in a committed relationship myself. *shakes his head, doubling over to see Cyril’s face a little better* But I will do whatever I can to help you. So don’t apologize.

I asked him to, but it didn’t seem to help. He didn’t change and he didn’t ask the girls to alter their behavior towards him either.

…It’s not like it matters anymore though. It’s over and done.

*leans against him*

Thank you, Verulo. You’re a good friend.

*follows after to sit beside him, resting a hand on his shoulder* Tell me about them? You don’t seem like the type of man to have many faults at all.

Ah, you’re quite wrong there, my friend. *smiles lightly* I’m a terribly jealous lover. Even more so with Vali because he is also interested in women. I just…I felt like he was ashamed because of how he let those girls act around him. Like he didn’t really care and wasn’t committed, you know? It was like he was trying to forget I existed. At least, that’s how my mind percieved it.

…. *sighs and puts his head in his hands* I shouldn’t burden you with this. I’m sorry.

It’s about Vali. *lowers his voice* We are no longer seeing each other and things have been…odd…since then. I worry, you know?

…*furrows his brows* I see… What happened to cause the separation—? I thought you two were quite happy…

Yes, well I suppose neither of us was as happy as we thought. *sighs and sits on a bench beside the fountain* A lot of things happened. Most of them were my fault no doubt.

Don’t worry about that. *chuckles* It’s no big deal.
