[ Her eyebrows raise and once again, her expression is sweet, blithe and innocent. ]
Hm? When did I say I wasn't?
[ And totally fake, of course. ]
Don't get me wrong. You're absolutely the worst kind of bully for having so much fun with it... and for leaving so many of them. Don't you think you got a little carried away?
[ ... Her lips are twitching a bit like she's struggling not to smile. ]
[ Fakeness... lies... those are part of who they are. Who both of them are, but... that's fine, isn't it? Because even if they're both fake, even if they're both liars... they can understand each other. ]
Hah. Nah... I think I left just enough.
[ ...he'd have put even more on her last night if he could've, wouldn't he?
After all, to him... Ai has never looked more beautiful. ]
[ Mildly; ] I know you're always lying because I'm the same, but even if you were anybody else, I'd know for a fact you're lying right now.
[ She's definitely playing with fire a little, but. Getting to prod a reaction out of him like this is a little new. She's kind of having fun with it. ]
You didn't touch my back at all. And there's definitely spots on my thighs you missed. So it's not a case of running out of space.
[ She heaves a biiiiiiiiiig dramatic sigh. ]
I guess you'll just have to do a better job next time...
[ His arms tighten around her, as if to prevent escape... not that he imagines she could have much success regardless, considering the state she's already in. He understands the enjoyment of prodding for a reaction... it's all he ever does with her, after all.
But she'd better be ready for the potential consequences. ]
See? This is exactly what I mean. No patience whatsoever. It was already obviously a lie in the first place but jeez...
[ She says it like she's scolding him but really, she's just playing. There's no way she could stand even an abbreviated repeat of anything they'd gotten up to last night but...
Strangely, even if it's only in jest, knowing he wants to makes her feel glad.
People love her because she's clean and pure. When they want her, it's in the manner of wanting a decoration. Something to look at but never touch for fear of leaving fingerprints. So someone wanting her even knowing she's dirty and wanting to make her even dirtier in the process is...
It's new. It's strange. It's still a little scary to think about. Because even if he didn't choose to come here and find her... in some way, he's still chosen her. If he ever decides to discard her, what will she do?
She ends up popping her forehead onto his shoulder, hiding her face so he can't see whatever expression she ends up making as she speaks. ]
I really meant it when I said it, you know. You have to stay with me right up until the end. That's my one and only order for you as a Master.
[ Being understood like this is... strange to say the least. He can count the number of times he's been understood on one hand. The Avalon le Fae, the Master of Chaldea... and now Hoshino Ai.
He remembers discarding such love before... carelessly tossing aside the body of an Autumn Princess that did everything for him. That had been, in his own way, his respect for that love... by discarding it, he ensured it would never be tainted by his lies.
Could he even do the same if it became necessary here...? For once he's... not sure. ]
...Yes, my Master.
[ ...but if it's his Master's orders, then he has no choice but to obey, right? ]

[ you think she needs fae eyes to see that??? ]
no subject
What? Nooooo. Is that what you think of me?
[ His tone is, as usual, too genuine-sounding for words that are 100% sarcastic. ]
Well, don’t worry, I can recognize when I’ve run out of space… I can be patient.
[ Can he, though? ]
