[ cardia deserves a better otome route than jae-ha ]
what if i live enough weeks to actually justify this catch all
[when jae-ha normally wanders around the castle, it's looking for company. with the intention of finding people in order to chat with them, regardless of the topic.
today it feels like there are too many people everywhere - and he wonders why it is that this castle feels so small.
when he moves to enter a room and finds cardia there (idk where kia, pick a location) he seems to take a moment to consider it. he likes cardia, but ultimately decides it's because he likes cardia that he'd rather not burden her. so he moves to step out again - ]
... excuse me.
[CATCH HIM, TRIP HIM, DO SOMETHING]

[ . . . hm. Jae-ha seems to consider that for a moment, before shaking his head. His spirits aren't as high as they usually are, but if she's gone to the trouble of attacking him to stay in one place, he can at least manage a conversation.]
... your sincerity is just very cute.
It's touching.

[ She's had some time to calm down. She's also had some time to let those tears of relief out, even though her eyes are now red-rimmed and she's sure Lupin would have something to say about that if he was here.
But he's not, so it's fine.
But for now? she's going to seek out Jae-ha with the air of a girl on a mission. ]

[Jae-ha is - managing. He's tired, so he's yawning a bit more often, but for now he's found himself tuning his erhu somewhere by a window.
He's always by a window.
When he catches sight of Cardia, he stops what he's doing immediately and blinks in confusion.]
Dear Miss Cardia? Are you alright?

[ . . . it was like a small collection of different ways to die, threatened all at once.
But he simply lets his fingers returning to tuning his instrument, plucking at the strings to fill the silence.]
I can't say what it was either.
But it passed - all at once, like I was relieved from some great burden.
So it's fine now.

[ . . . . and Jae-ha laughs at that.
It's a tired sound.]
Maybe I'm just... lucky.
Sousei wouldn't know how to express his own feelings if that was the last piece he needed to stay alive - but for me... running away from fate is what I've done since I was born.
