[ he gives a rather defeated-sounding sigh. ]

I see. That's your choice, in the end.

[steelmyself]

I see. Haha, you're pretty bold.

[softariel]

It's not boldness. It's only the truth.

[steelmyself]

[softariel]

Not with your words, no.

[steelmyself]

[softariel]

I wouldn't know. But as far as your manners go, they say a lot more.
