[ Even if he says that, she can't stop the memory that bombards her.

It's significant, she realizes. Best friend, he said, even as he kills him. That's some resolve, isn't it?

Medb breathes out as the memory clears and tries to shake what lingers, so she can see present reality instead of a sad past. ]

My memory is too strong for that. Sorry, not sorry.

[ She's flippant because she feels almost as if Gojou would prefer that, but... ]

You try to bury so much with humor, huh?

[ Medb... If only he could feel vulnerable by those words. The memory is enough. He does, however, correct her. ]

I was like this before that, just so you know.

[ So humor is part of him, it's been with him since birth, and it will continue to follow him as he grows old. ]

... It's the past and all, but it's embarrassing for people to learn this out of nowhere.

That doesn't negate what I said, you know.

[ Even if he's always had humor, that doesn't mean he doesn't use it as a coping mechanism. ]

But I'm with you. I'd rather tell people myself on my own terms.

[ She likes her autonomy, her authority. ]

[ He doesn't use it as a coping mechanism!! At least, he doesn't think so. He just prefers to compartmentalize his emotions and then... Try to let them go. It is frustrating, though, and he's glad that Medb understands the desire of control. ]

There are cooler memories I could pick—like a demonstration of people blurting out their techniques and stuff.

[ Gojou sighs as his shoulders drop, then approaches her since there's no reason for him to be so far. Sulking, pouting, please pet him, queen. ]

It feels unfair that you get a peek, but I don't.

[ Yeah, sure, she'll pet him. When he comes close enough, she reaches up to pat his cheek lightly before cupping it. ]

I'd say I'd like to see it, but it still sounds a little ridiculous to me.

[ Calling out Noble Phantasms is more like casting a spell, but it doesn't spell out what it does exactly. Secrets are revealed but not quite so immediately or so effectively as detailing techniques. ]

Well, stay with me long enough, and I'm sure it'll happen no matter how much I don't want it to.

[ Wow, getting patted by a shrimp— ]

If it works, it works.

[ He is curious to see what memories she has, especially when he knows that? Medb and Douman seem to be close? For whatever reason, so he'll stay here instead of hobbling off to his room to blanket cocoon in the corner. ]

I want to think you're luckier than me and it'll be a good memory.

[ Gojou Satoru: it's fine. ]

[ SHAKES GMAIL FOR NOT GIVING ME HALF YOUR NOTIFS AHHHH ]

People keep saying I'm lucky for some reason. I won't dissuade anyone from that.

[ Her luck stat is pretty good, after all.

But yeah, he isn't wrong! Because at that moment, he'll get a memory (6:09:55 - 6:11:19).

Medb looks annoyed once the memory fades. ]

[ Oh, no. He's smiling. ]

... Your precious Good-Looking Braves?

[ She stares him down. ]

I don't like your look or your tone.

I look and sound the same.

[ It isn't wrong. ]

I stand by what I said.

[ Not even his beautiful eyes can get him out of this. ]

You don't seem happy that I know.

[ His eyes are a curse upon the world. Their beauty kills people, I'm telling you. ]

You were about to say or do something annoying and obnoxious about it. I could see it coming from a kilometer away.

[ There's no way she's wrong. ]

And what's that something, huh?

[ TELL HIM SINCE YOU KNOW HIM SO WELL ]

You were about to try to tease me, and then I would have no other option than to step on you again.

[ Because he has a habit of letting her do that to him. ]

Even if I was going to tease you, it wouldn't be that bad? Being loyal to your people is important.

[ Yeah, he doesn't mind it and it doesn't hurt his ego. it's too big. ]

[ She huffs. ]

A queen can't be a queen without her people. It's silly not to be.

Some royals say there is no country without monarchy. I think your way is better, though.

[ Just his opinion. ]

My power stems from those who are loyal to me. It's better to be beloved than feared.

[ But Medb likes both. ]

I want to be celebrated and mourned, not disgraced and humiliated.

[ ... if only medb knew of her memes, but gojou doesn't know them, either. ]

That's fair. I think it's better that way, too. Betrayals are always a thing, but less people are likely if they love you.

[ i don't even know which memes you're referring to. ]

Mm-hmm. There will be no coup with me. I'll make sure of it.

[ If only because her charm skill won't allow it. ]

[ He nods since that makes sense to him, though it only lowers the chance. ]

Have you collected a following here, Medb?

[ THIS THREAD IS FROM W2 i don't know time anymore WE'RE WRAPPING THIS THREAD UP HEI

She smiles. ]

Wouldn't it be nice if I have? But I'll be sure to remember what I saw from you.

leffs at you

i thought this was a gag tag but you just left it here
