I wonder if I should be offended or relieved that I wasn’t your first choice. Should I be heading over soon?
[ The mention of hair all gets a pause and a separate message. He was never quite close to Kilian, but it was such a relief to see someone he personally knew—from his world, not several renditions of Warriors and core figures that seem to remember someone different. Of course, he still has R’yoji. Seeing that Megumi is also from their Crystal, he finds some comfort in her as well... ]
If you miss him, I can send you some of his best pictures. I’d advise looking at them in private, however.
I have more experience with him throwing me across the room, but you're not wrong.
[ FUN TIMES. Except not. He's sure that Kilian was drunk... Then everyone else was drunk. ]
Being able to see anyone sooner or later isn't an outstanding argument to make. Some days one can go on without any longing, but other days they find themselves thinking about someone even if for a moment. Quite frankly, I would admit that I miss his booming voice and rank breath.
That's because I used to do that to him. Guess he finally took it out on someone.
[ Don't ask. Actually, ask, the situations were usually hilarious... and sometimes even on purpose when they were playing around to see how far they could throw one another.
The next text though, makes her ears droop. Damnit Seji, don't talk about logic when she's trying to pretend she's fine. She's glad he can't see her face and her reply doesn't address that observation entirely— what, show her emotions? Ew. ]
His breath was better than most. He did mention you, too. Said you'd kiss and abandon me.
[ Ha ha. ]
Not that that'd be new. But did you ever kiss him? He said you didn't, but surely!!
[ like... what... why would you throw anyone like a ball? no one asked for that kind of punishment? He is surprised to hear that Kilian talked about him. Maybe he should feel flattered. ]
In a way, he isn't wrong. I'm not a committed sort, at least in a romantic sense.
There are plenty of those. I could tell you a lot about him back in the day.
[ And he's not here to tell him about how she screams when she sees spiders or her crying like a baby at their spice eating contests or the fact that yes, girls can rip the most powerful farts that can summon a beast..
She hopes Kilian's forgotten that last bit. ]
At least you're up front about it. Romance is overrated anyway. Except in stories. That's where I like mine.
Just wanted a story to think up if you did kiss him, that's all. ❤️
But now you've got to tell me: who'd you enjoy kissing the most? Men or women? Or both?
Worse. He picked a fight with me when we first met. I won. He didn't like that at all.
[ At least that memory doesn't involve gas. Granted, that first meeting had a little more to it than she's mentioning.
She doesn't want to think about that, either.
She looks at his text, though, a small smile appearing on her face. ]
I like reading. Who has time to write, anyroad?
[ Except, she does write. She has a fanbase, pen name and fifty porn tales to her name already. She just hides it because so many stories are inspired from what she sees around her. ]
But now you have to tell me about your favourite kiss. How'd it happen? Where was it? Was it with someone you liked, or just a fling?
[ Comforting? Or terrifying? He's not sure, but he does like Kilian for being so straight-forward. If it means chucking people he meets at the beginning, then so be it. V'seji doesn't doubt whatever Megumi says, only because he doesn't see why he should. ]
Folks with a lot of time or looking to make time.
[ WHAT.... FAVORITe Kiss. He was just hoping she would ask for a random one, not what he deems as his favorite. There's so many. So many. But are any of them his favorite? ]
We were both pent up from all the fighting someone's war nonsense and one thing led to the next in dreary, old Ishgard. It was with someone I hated, actually. We're good friends now, but it's my favorite because of how comical it is in hindsight. Nothing quite warms you up like locking lips and other bodily fluids with someone who makes your blood boil.
[ Ah, Seji, giving her all this delicious food. She just reads this happily, not wanting to go into any more of her history with Kili— he's gone and thinking about him will only make her sadder.
It could have been anyone in the world but it had to be him, and that's why it hurts to think about- so she won't, and instead takes the opportunity to switch subjects immediately.
Except this is... too familiar. So even her happiness feels a little heavy. ]
That's my favourite kind of story, though. All that heat!! All that rage!! But your bodies can't help it and your desire just makes it even more intense!
I've ended up with a lot of folks that have riled me up after a fight. What they lack in being tolerable, they certainly make up in being fun in bed.
[ Definitely not more than that, like becoming best friends and fellow hunters in training, or lovers, or...
Shite.
Good thing he can't see her. ]
Sounds like this person is dear to you now. Are they here with you, or just back home?
I'm not sure about my body desiring theirs, but more so I found a lot of pleasure in making their life miserable? They were uncomfortable with any forms of affection, so I used to smother them in kisses and gentle touches. Absolutely loathed it and I for it. Humorous.
That I can agree with. It was quite enjoyable, especially when they growl and have the eyes that could kill. I never cared much for the sense of superiority, but it is fun in bed.
[ ... ]
That I must keep a secret. We have more in common than I anticipated. Was Kilian one of those folks?
They're easy to read, wears their heart on their sleeve. I have to highly doubt it.
I'm glad to hear that. Despite his demeanor, he does have his heart in the right place. Though now I'm wondering if you two had a fling here before he returned home. Wish he held me as gently when he threw me.
[ NOT A QUESTION, but just a little push to talk about what's on her mind. ]
Less protective, but more curious on your future guesses if you do intend to unveil their identity.
[ Stop talking about him, talk about yourself, Seji. She sighs, ears drooping as she looks at the message.
Just be cavalier about it. Best way to do it. ]
Would be a waste if I didn't. Not that I should kiss and tell, but, not like it's a secret either.
[ In response to the fling. ]
He's gone though, so it's not like either of us will remember. Works out for the both of us. I'm still married back home, and he likes sleeping around.
[ Regardless of her feelings, she won't hurt her husband while she's married to him if she's back home again. ]
Maybe you'll get lucky and won't forget whatever it is you get with your special person here. That would be nice.
It's a nice thought. Can't say it's what actually happens but. Who knows? Maybe leaving here will be different than the time I left Duplicity. Might even remember things.
[ She doesn't know Seji that well but she's getting the sense of where he might be going with this. ]
Felt that with you, actually. Like I'd met you before, that is. Curious, right? Maybe it's why asking you for a kiss wasn't a problem.
[ She rarely forgets faces or people so she knows there's a reason she felt that way. ]
I fought alongside him a couple of times, but he wore his helmet. Didn't get to see his face till later, but that feeling of having met him before still lingered. I suppose we're all old souls?
[ oh my god............... Megumi. ]
Cake. You sent the Warrior of Light to fetch you some cake.
[ YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S VALID. ]
Aye. That sounds right to me.
[ He isn't just going to give it to her even though he knows where this is going. ]
I didn't know he was the Warrior of Light then! He was just some unsuspecting hyur who asked me if I needed help! So I sent him off to fetch the cake I ordered for my son's nameday!!
But that feeling was different.
[ She can do everything but she doesn't have four arms!!! ]
... and you— ... pretty sure you're ringing a bell. Or a few gems for that matter.
[ Her girls and her used gemstones and bird codenames when trading information or supplies, depending on what they're really trading. ]
And he got you your cake? Would you have sent him out to get you cake if you knew in the first place? Merely curious.
[ It would be too easy to play dumb right now, but it would also be too sad to burn bridges from withholding too much. This wouldn't make sense to anyone that isn't involved, either way. ]

Doesn't sound like you had any complaints either.
[ She knows the way of the tsun!! But she twitches at the next message because WhY did he have to ask that... !!
Just talk to her about himself so she doesn't have to think argh!! Quick, recover somehow...]
We were friends who fucked and bickered a lot, but ultimately we're still friends.
Had plenty of lovers after him too, until my husband.
[ Who she does love immensely, but it is curious that she married a hrothgar too... ]
Someone who makes you this protective must be someone really special though.dont worry, I won't bite if you don't want me to ;)

Another example in my experience is the Warrior of Light himself.

I've only met the Warrior of Light in passing. Wouldn't have really thought he was who others said he was, but there was definitely something there.
I sent him off for cake.
[ Fetch quest WoL! ]
Though, I'm curious now. I've had my girls exploring for a while, and they often come back with good information that people usually need.
I imagine someone in your kind of work would need that, too.
