well. yes.

my memories usually come to me in dreams, is all.

[nachetanya]

[ ... Mmm ]

Yeah, I guess a lot of mine end up like that too. To be honest, I don't end up talking about most of them

[breakingvoice]

there's a lot i haven't talked about with anyone yet either.

you're the first person who knew about me dying twice.

[nachetanya]

Obviously, talking isn't easy, but I'm here for you, Lina

[breakingvoice]

i know you are and i appreciate it a lot.
it feels strange that i'm not even telling my sisters about some of these things if i'm being totally honest. it feels like it should be going to them first?

but you're the first person i think of telling when things happen.

[nachetanya]

[ Does Natalia really know all that much herself? Is she- the blonde actually hesitates just a moment, snorts at her own hesitation, and, ]

You should go to wherever you want

But if I've captured you that much then I'm doing something right! ♥

[breakingvoice]

you were there for me when i didn't feel like my family could be. of course you're doing something right. ♥

if there's anything you want to know, you know you can just ask. i'll be as much of an open book for you as i can be.

[nachetanya]

I'm not that nosy!
Well, no, I guess I have one curiosity... No, two.

The first is what even is an intoner, and what is even up with that fortress Clover summoned that makes you think you'll have one?

(you can ask me questions too)

[breakingvoice]

i still don't entirely know what an Intoner is, to be honest. i know they were worshipped like goddesses, and i know that they deposed the lords of the... lands, i guess, who were there before them.

(i guess that means Two was like royalty? but i'm not comfortable with that.)

i know that Two can summon Egregori because i remembered it when i saw Armaros. they're linked, somehow.

[nachetanya]

That makes me sound so arrogant to lean into the princess thing so much!

But do you know what those things even are other than summons? But I see, goddesses of sorts!

[breakingvoice]

it's okay, we both lean into a lot of things that maybe we should feel bad about but it's so much fun that i can't really bring myself to stop doing it

they're called Daemons. i don't know much beyond that. they're just big... things. that Intoners can summon. and if they can summon massive magical whatever they are, then Intoners are probably pretty powerful.

[nachetanya]

Are they in opposition to humanity?

[breakingvoice]

i don't know.

i want to say that if they were, they wouldn't be so beloved, but neither of us is naive enough to think that.

[nachetanya]

Mmm, it depends.

I ask because Nachetanya (I?) was, or something close to it

[breakingvoice]

i know Zero was in opposition to the other five and i know that Intoners aren't human, but i don't know enough about what they ARE... i'm sorry, Natalia.

(she's not you. please remember that.)

[nachetanya]

I'm not that bothered but I'm a little bothered I'm not bothered, if that makes sense?

It sometimes feels like the wrong reaction!

[breakingvoice]

so she's working against humanity and you're not worried about that, but you're worried that you're not worried about it.

i don't know if it's the WRONG reaction but it's definitely a complicated one. and it's not one that i can actually break down because i don't know you like that and even if i did i would never try to break down the way you think.

[nachetanya]

Oh no, Lina, you really think you don't know me that well?! I must need to let my guard down a little more!

But no, it's pretty much that. I am who I am, and while I am still freaking out inside about things, at some point it just became easier to accept it. After all, if I'm going to miss a talking dog, better to roll with it.

[breakingvoice]

i know the person you show me pretty well and i'm leaving it up to you to let me know how much that person matches with who you are

not to call you out or anything

[nachetanya]

tbh that feels like a little bit of one! But then, given your family, I guess my own fakeness might stink.

[breakingvoice]

i don't think it's fake. i think that's a mean way of putting it and i don't like it.

i think you, like everybody else, have secrets that you're guarding and things that you're keeping closer to your chest, and only you can decide who you get to bring in closer to your chest with them, and that's a normal thing that people do all the time. i mean that.

[nachetanya]

It's too bad the mood isn't right for me to say that I wouldn't mind you looking closer at my chest . . . Oh! I did say that, didn't I? Sorry! ♥

But no, no, I understand. I do wonder if you might overestimate me a little sometimes, but that works in my favor s o . . .

Seriously though Lina. Let's go on a date sometime, then I might see you smile a little bit more.

[breakingvoice]

[the next response takes a second because she's. this is the kind of thing she's wanted for a while. and it almost takes Lina's breath away.]

i would love to go on a date with you sometime, and lucky for you i have a flexible evening schedule

[that's what she sends out after seven or eight decreasingly desperate false starts, at least.]

especially if looking at your chest is on the table

[nachetanya]

Well, it *might* be, at least! I guess it depends how many more secrets I have

But seriously, a date would be nice.

[breakingvoice]

your chest is a pretty big secret

[no, she absolutely does not send that, but she does type and delete it after coming so dangerously close to hitting send.]

i'm being serious, too. we already sort of went on one, if you'd like to think of the night we made drinks and kissed as a date. we can do this more formally now, though. just name the time and place and i'll be more than happy to go on one with you.
