[ god why does everyone have so much rizz... he's just a guy

Rubbing his face so his embarrassment doesn't show. ]

Piqued your interest, have I? [ AAA ] Well, the day hasn't been bad, really. I learned that Anders is most definitely in love with Hawke, which is interesting.

[florescences]

[ he can have rizz too.... he can fake it....

is he taking her hand or is he leaving her hanging ]

Why wouldn't you interest me? [ sincere! so sincere. ] You think so? I can tell they have a significant bond, but is it love?

Maybe what happened can bring them closer together.

[midway]

[ oH HE TAKES IT! HER HAND...

Ahhh, her sincerity. He focuses on the gay situationship instead. ]

I mean, I don't see any other reason for Anders to be so aggressive unless he was feeling possessive. Hawke didn't have any clue, either way.

But... whatever it is. I hope they figure it out.

[florescences]

He was acting pretty jealous.

[ she'll just come out and say it. ]

But they're both old enough that they should be able to work it out.

[ should... not will. she knows the difference. but anyway, ]

You're the one who has my interest right now, so I'd rather focus on you.

[midway]

[ He seems a little doubtful about that. ]

Me? Unfortunately, I don't have any complicated stories about friends who harbour secret feelings for me.

[florescences]

That's okay. I'll take any stories about friends who care about you.

[midway]

[ He goes silent a moment, thinking. ]

What about you? Do you have a travelling group?

[florescences]

I have a group, but I can't really call it traveling.

[midway]

What are you doing together then?

[florescences]

They agreed to my request.

[midway]

Your request...?

[florescences]

To become a Flame-Chaser. That's what we're called.

[midway]

What is that exactly...?

[florescences]

A group to be humanity's last defense.

[midway]

Against what...?

[florescences]

Honkai. It's something that manifests in different ways to threaten civilization. Illnesses, monsters, radiation...

[midway]

And you're able to fight... illness? As a flame chaser?

[florescences]

That's just what I call the thirteen represented by my halo. It's a name I came up with myself. It sounds nice, doesn't it?

[midway]

It is a pretty cool name, I'll give you that.

... Is that part of why you have a longer lifespan?

[florescences]

Hmm... kind of, yeah. Anyone who had the qualifications to be a Flame-Chaser could have lived longer than most.

But that's not why my age is listed as over 50,000.

[midway]

Why is it?

[florescences]

I'm a simulation. Or I was. I lived in a realm made of memories.

[midway]

[ WHAT

The way he barely knows what a simulation is. ]

But you... [ what ] You're a simulation that became... corporeal?

[florescences]

[ i know it's so funny.... your middle ages time period, claude ]

Technology was advanced where I'm from... to a certain point. Combined with certain abilities, memories can feel very real.

[midway]

I see.

So you were created? [ ??? are simulations born?? ] Made of people's memories?
