[ at the very least, it pleases her to know that archer is following her well enough. it even comforts her, if only mildly, that he can somewhat relate to her plight. she had cursed her world, and from the sounds of it, he did as well? the only difference is that she wished to undo it and stay dead instead.

unfortunately, it hadn't been that easy; her unrest resulted in more than a year worth of searching. the rivalry between dragons and flower predates history; and she can't even be sure as to why her only weakness is dragons. still, she's grateful that she even has a weakness; it meant that she only needed to find the strongest who would agree to slay her when the time is right.

that is how michael had passed. that is how mikhail had passed following him.

and now she peers as archer the same way she had peered at her former dragons, knowing he's capable, but... there is a risk in allying with her. ]

[ it's not as blunt as she'd like it, but this is entirely meant to turn him off from the idea. she is quite legitimately trying to use the fact that he had been so scandalized in the vr against him. in truth, even she isn't keen about bedding her servant when their feelings are so intertwined.

anyway, she's coyly stroking his cheek, now. ]

Do you understand my meaning?
