[ Siffrin shrugs similarly, and has to hold himself back from mentioning that he wanted to tear her guts out and string them up like curtains. ]
It's anticlimactic, as far as performances go. But if she can deliver on all those wishes... [ Then...maybe it's fine. They didn't wish for anything, and some are wishing to die, but it's... fine. It has to be. ]
[ They frown, taking a step closer. As much as they hate Magi and this situation, the happiness of their loved ones is far more important to Siffrin. ]
So… you should be proud of everything you’ve done. [ They look away. ] I… know I asked a lot from you, too. So… thanks. For everything.
[ That is what the flower means. A simple gesture from home, a symbol of strong, genuine emotions that are directed at someone. ]
[ Though Siffrin mulls over the words, like the candy on their tongue. Always is a big promise, and it squeezes your heart every time someone makes it.
(You want to challenge it. You want to push the limits of that promise, to see if ‘always’ really means always or if it’ll be something that slips through your fingers like memories sift through sand.
You realize
that love him the same way you love your family members. You wish you could stay with him forever.
Maybe you could ask? Could you convince Anaxa, too? Then maybe they’d be happy together, and you could be happy with them and the rest of your family. )
They fish out their silver coin out of their pocket, rolling it through their fingers, ignoring the mix of guilt and glee in their heart over being told such a wonderful thing. ]
So, what now? Are you going back to babysitting mages?
["He's like a child deep down", he's heard his Quartet say. To him, everything isn't, and is a big deal. The world is wonderful and full of light and full of people he wants to care for.]
[It's both the easiest and hardest things in the world.]
[His eye (regular now, he's moved over his eyepatch) flickers to the coin in their hand.]
Aha, yes. The Grail War must be continuing. And it's a joke of the war. I have to keep track of it, because if not, a lot of people will almost certainly be put in danger.
[ Siffrin hides the coin in the palm of his hand, tucking it into one of their many many pockets.
For a moment, they consider asking him to give up on the war. Who cares if that’s his job, he should be allowed to give up on it! But considering Hansa’s nature, that’d be like asking him to stop breathing. He wants to help people out of the goodness of his heart. ]

catches the candy! And pops it in his mouth. Stars, he's hungry.
They'll turn around on their heel and pluck a flower from the central area, and offer it to Hansa. ]
For you.

So? How do I look?

Irisistible. [ They cross their arms. ] Satisfied with the ending?

[The question makes him shrug, because...]
It's complicated. I feel like I should be. You?

I hate having to rely on her for happiness. But if it makes everyone else happy...as long as thoses wishes go through...

[He should be proud, yes. Even though it feels like he didn't do much at all. Maybe he didn't do enough, but...]
[If the people he loves are happy, isn't that what matters?]
You're welcome. [A smile.] No need to make it seem like a big deal. I will always do what I can for you.

You’ll visit, right? Once that’s all over?
[ And the loops, too. ]

I would hope to see how much progress you've made. And if not, I'll pitch in to help, too.

[ BAD IDEA!!!!! TERRIBLE, ACTUALLY!!!
The last thing they need is someone interrupting their script!!
(But you’re going to need to break it, aren’t you? You will have to tell them.) ]
U-um… m-maybe give me a heads up somehow before you do? It’d be bad if I was somewhere else or something, hahaha…

[BUT OKAY...................]
Sure. I'll knock on the door all nice like. Just for you.

[ NOT THE NOOGIE!!! Siffrin yelps in surprise, struggling pitifully against the priest.
They hide their face by burrying it in the man’s chest, whining. ]
Stop thaaaaaaaaat!!
