[OH, SHE REALLY COULD, BUT...]

That's not the point here. I'm helping you, Darin. You're such a wreck over even such simple, natural desires -- your desires! Like a child who still believes in cooties.

You may think this rejection is giving you control over those feelings, but quite the opposite -- it is making you their plaything. Grow strong, and face them like a man, and maybe you will stand the faintest chance against your demon.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...So, picturing you naked is going to make me strong enough to control Diomuhr?

...That makes no sense.

In fact, I bet picturing you naked will do the opposite when it comes to control.

[Should you really be encouraging a naked man to do this, Muzet?]

[tetherbell]

It makes perfect sense and shut up.

Face it, Darin. It's the same problem, isn't it? You think ignoring something is the same thing as controlling it.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I'm pretty sure fantasizing about you is totally different!

L-Look...wouldn't it bother you if I did?

Because it's hard not to think about after having seen it...

[tetherbell]

Darin, at least half the men who walk through this district are likely to fantasize me. Why would one more bother me?

[It's actually kind of rude that you're not!!]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Because we're friends?

And I actually like you?

[tetherbell]

... ... ...

[For a moment, her cool attitude seems to slip.]

You... really like me?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Maybe it's the alcohol, but Darin's being a lot more open than usual.]

Yeah...I mean, I'm not used to you being so clingy, but I don't really mind it as much as I say do...

I just don't know how to react. It's not often a hot girl is hanging all over me.

[tetherbell]

[Oh, really? Well, then! Muzét's going to sidle back up the bar -- man, she has really been up and down and all over this thing, the stop motion video would be a heck of a thing to watch -- and start pouring him another drink or five.]

You're not doing yourself any favors by flinching away from them, though. You have to allow yourself to get comfortable about it, which means you have to suck it up until you can see it's not as scary as you think it is.

Just, you know. Be your natural self.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

It's not scary.

I actually kinda like it.

[Well, if she's going to keep pouring, he's going to keep drinking.]

It's just...y'know. Impolite to stare.

Because I would.

[tetherbell]

Unwanted attention is impolite, Darin. Wanted attention is a compliment.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

So...you want me to stare?

Like...now?

I dunno...

[tetherbell]

What do I have to do, draw targets on all the key points?

Yes. Go ahead. I am granting you explicit permission to ogle.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

F-Fine...

[Darin huffs and just kind of rests his chin in his hand and stares at her.]

[Its not very long before his eyes kind of wander south to her chest.]

[tetherbell]

... ... ...

So?

That's not so bad, is it...?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I never said it was bad, you know.

Just...you know. Impolite.

[And also dangerous given the fact that he's naked but that's not really coming to mind right now.]

[tetherbell]

And is being rude such a crime?

[Still unable to sit still, she lays out flat on her stomach across the bar, stretching out in front of Darin.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

U-Uh...well, I mean...

I don't want to be a creep either...

[He takes another drink and almost sets the glass down on her rear. Yeah he's buzzed.]

[tetherbell]

And is being a creep such a crime...?

[... Muzét, okay, now you're not helping your argument anymore.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Yes?

[tetherbell]

What? No, it's not. What law is there against that?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

It's not?

Wait, being a creep is still bad! I don't wanna be a creep!

[Almost rests his drink on her butt again.]

Y'know if you keep lying there I'm gonna end up putting my drink on you.

[tetherbell]

That seems like a good way to lose your drink. [She is not moving! In fact, she's going to fold up her legs and start kicking them in the air a little.]

Why would it make you a creep, though? It's normal, Darin. You just don't know because you've been deprived.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Well, I think you're spoiling me now.

[He laughs.]

Don't get me too used to it.

[tetherbell]

Don't you realize that's the idea, Darin?
