You can have as many nights with me as you like.

[ of she realized what she said she would yeet herself into the ocean. ]

You have to at least once, though. Most things are more fun if you go with friends. Camping shouldn't be any different.

[riegan]

(Ochako, your curse.)

Then I'll look forward to it. (He's just gonna roll with it so it isn't too weird okay.) I'll have to take your word for it.

(Things are more fun with friends? Wild. If only he had friends back home!!)

[infreefall]

[ it's fine, she'll be freed from it tonight.

that said, she. tilts her head. what? ]

You don't have any friends at home? What about Hilda-san?

[riegan]

(Lightly,)

That's kind of it.

(Just Hilda.)

I doubt Seteth would let Flayn go anywhere at night with me and Cyril... we're still getting familiar with each other.

[infreefall]

[ oh... ochako doesn't like that. ]

If that's the case, then I'll just have to come and visit you whenever I can.

[riegan]

Inviting yourself over to my home, huh?

(HE'S TEASING)

[infreefall]

Is that a problem?

[riegan]

(...)

Not at all. (Something is definitely on his mind though,) I'll just have to make sure everything is ready for when you arrive.

[infreefall]

Well, it's not like I'm going to drop in unannounced or anything. I'm not that rude.

[ she definitely can be but it's different when there are other worlds involved, probably. ]

[riegan]

If things were different, I wouldn't mind the surprise.

(#VagueTalk.)

In fact, I'd welcome you any time if I could.

[infreefall]

[ . . . ]

What does that mean, anyway? You've said something like it before.

[riegan]

(Very casually,)

Before I came here, I was preparing for a war back home. Probably best not to visit until I win that.

[infreefall]

...Oh.

[ she could almost laugh at how confident he sounds. a war?? ochako can hardly imagine. ]

Then... you'll just have to tell me when you do.

[riegan]

(Because he's absolutely confident he'll win!! He's a schemer and some day, he'll be a genius tactician. He's already got a plan.)

You'll be one of the first to know.

(By his calculations, it'll take a couple of years though. His plan might not be the fastest but it's the one with the least casualties on his side so... do what you gotta do.)

[infreefall]

I'm gonna hold you to that. And I'm still going to talk to Hilda-san, too, so I'll know if you don't say anything!

[riegan]

If you're talking to Hilda, you'll probably hear from her first.

(It has to be a super talent of hers.)

[infreefall]

Mm, maybe. But I'd like to hear from both of you, you know.

[riegan]

... Well, I can't let you down now, can I?

(She'll definitely be hearing from them both.)

[infreefall]

That's right, you can't.

[ she offers him a s'more, freshly assembled! ]

Here. You tried them, right? What do you think?
