[ hug neutral better than hug negative. she lets him go after a moment. ]

If I were a jealous person, I'd be jealous of Yves. [ teasing. ]

Yves did ask.

[ Mildly. ]

Yves is also straightforward too.

Hmm.... are you saying I'm not asking enough?

This feels dangerous to answer.

How so? I'm just a girl who's a little cuter than the rest.

Because it feels like now you will ask much more.

I do push some boundaries, but if I make you feel uncomfortable, say so, okay?

[ she's self-aware enough. ]

I want things to be fun for both of us.

...

[ He relents, because he kind of feels bad. ]

It's alright. You will know. And you are fine.

[ he is right, though. she is dangerous that way.... ]

I will ask even more, then, until you say stop.

And let me guess. You will never get tired of it either.

Why would I be tired when it comes to you?

I am sure you can get tired of anything at some point.

[ A little wryly, but he doesn't mean it badly. It's like in the same way you sometimes want to close your door on a sibling or friend, that kind of 'tired'. ]

[ she laughs. she knows what he means, but also: ]

I do. I get tired of a lot of bureaucratic and upper management decisions. But it's different when it's someone like you, Marcoh.

Bureau...? You don't look like someone who sits well in an office.

I don't! But even I had to have some kind of job. Every organization has its own leadership and the bureaucracy that comes with it.

What do you do?

Hmm... a lot of waiting?

[ not untrue. ]

I was a soldier.

[ He... blinks. ]

You?

[ Soldiers in his world are really just like. So much. You can tell he definitely was not expecting this. ]

[ that makes her laugh. ]

Surprising? I was, for a time. There weren't too many people who can adapt to Honkai and how it's destroying humanity.

What is that?

[ What do you mean destroying humanity. Girl what. ]

It's something that's been causing a lot of death and destruction. It can infect people, make them ill, cause radiation, natural disasters, create monsters...

[ she sounds like she could go on, but she ends it there because it paints enough of a picture. ]

[ Hello? ]

And that is something you can fight?

Some parts of it. The monsters, at least, we can defeat. People have been researching ways to cure Honkai Radiation, but the only cure so far is expensive.

Expensive because resources, or expensive in price?

Both. I don't know the exact details, but it's not a cure that can be made easily.
