[At the question, his emotions do the equivalent of stubbing a toe against a chair and then pretending it didn't happen right in front of someone else.]
[He instantly frowns at that, and then raises an eyebrow because? Jeanne what are you doing.]
...I would, yes. [He says it a little grumpily? Like he knows what she's trying to get at.] We had a bond last week, so we just talked a lot during that time.
[He lets out a slow exhale, glancing to the side.]
She's a very nice lady. She's very smart, very funny, and has quite a beautiful voice. [There's a simmering sort of conflict in him - like he wants to talk more, say more, but he's putting a preemptive clamp on it. There's bittersweetness mixed within it as well.] It would be hard not to be charmed, I think.
You're making it sound like we're in a relationship.
[He's exasperated, but in the same way that a school boy would be if someone pointed out a crush. Which is. Honestly pretty similar to what is happening.]
I'm a priest, you know. [A huff.] Honestly, I'm just glad to help her out.
[ She puts a hand to her mouth and hides a soft laugh. ]
I am not implying anything of the sort. All I mean is that if you can deepen bonds with others here, isn't that a blessing? Even outside collecting nova, isn't it good to make friends?
[ If it's a crush, it's fine. No one says he has to act on it. ]
I feel the same way. I am truly glad to meet everyone here.
[ For even if Servants' lives are meant to be transient and are no longer meant to make an impact upon history, it is one of the joys of a second life. ]

I did that the other day with Alex. It's easy to forget about that rule.
no subject
We are so used to being able to touch. I'm sure it won't cause too much trouble.
Are you close with Alex?
no subject
Ah. [He huffs.] Well, we do get along, yes.

aka it's a very 19yo girl interest. ]
Is that so? I'm glad to hear that. Would you consider her your friend?
no subject
...I would, yes. [He says it a little grumpily? Like he knows what she's trying to get at.] We had a bond last week, so we just talked a lot during that time.
no subject
She doesn't look like she's going to push it too much, and her feelings become a bit muted. She's still smiling a bit. ]
And?

She is all that and more. I'm glad you're charmed by someone like her. I think she could use someone like you by her side.
[ Whatever that means, she won't label and won't care to label. ]
