[noburden]

What exactly would make it complicated? Were you together right now, of course.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Fucking several other people? Some of whom are less casual than planned.

[noburden]

[Oh. That.]

It's... a matter of survival, here. For the most part.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

It was supposed to be.

And who cares if it was a little fun. I love Percy, but... we weren't together. It's not as though I've betrayed his trust.

But darling, it's starting to feel as though I'm being unfair to people here who have grown dear.

[noburden]

[Some of that strikes close to home. Jill takes a moment to choose her words carefully.]

What do you think he'd say?

[whatsinfrontofyou]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure I want to know.

[She's a coward in some ways. Mostly this one.]

He can be... stuffy, in some ways.

[noburden]

So am I. We do what we must, here.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

You do have something of a princess thing going on...

Honestly, so does Percy.

[noburden]

[ABOUT THAT... no use in hiding it.]

I was raised in a royal household, along with the two princes of Rosaria.

I didn't meet anyone named Percy there, though.

[Ha. A joke. It's funny because various worlds, etc.]

[whatsinfrontofyou]

You—you know I didn't mean that literally, right?

[But apparently a noble upbringing shows even in jokes.]

Does that mean you actually are?

[noburden]

I was born a princess, yes, to be truthful. I haven't been one in many, many years. But you're not the first to point out how I am.

[She can't help it.]

[whatsinfrontofyou]

It's not an insult. Who knows? Maybe it's part of why I like you.
