.......

[she's trying to follow his logic here, but her mind so wants to jump the gun and pounce on any tiny bit she isn't keen on...there's a lot of Chrom in this girl.]

So...[she isn't confident she fully understands, but:] So you're...not a miserable shell of a man, simply going through motions out of instinct? You are aware you have meaning to others, yes?

[hellrisen02]

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Uhhh.





Nnnnot entirely? [Wow. Damn. He hasn't been called out this hard in weeks.]

[fauxmarth]

[there's a distinct, judging pause. it's like an audible frown.

then:]

...Very well. I've decided.

[hellrisen02]

Yeah? What's that.

[Hopefully not his spleen being ruptured]

[fauxmarth]

To be more forthright! [from her end, she's straightened up for better enunciation.] Father Maxwell, I greatly value your presence here, and what contributions you make to better it. In my own way, I'll find something that may break through whatever fog of dismay you may wear about yourself! If only for a moment. Even small moments are to be cherished, after all.

[hmm.]

...Have you dietary restrictions? [since he's AN OLD MAN she has to ask.]

[hellrisen02]

Jesus Christ.

[Duo mumbles under his breath, but there's a tiny chuckle under it.]

...You don't gotta, kiddo. Like, I'm not 'bout to jump a cliff or anything, here.




And uh, no. [He's trying not to be insulted about that, WHIPPERSNAPPER.]

[fauxmarth]

Nonsense! This isn't about duty, it's about what's right. I respect you, sir. Both for your time here, though it be against your will, and for the kindnesses you've done me. It'd be dishonorable not to at least try and brighten your days here.

One need not be at the brink of collapse to still need support, after all.

[hellrisen02]

[He smiles to himself. What a good kid... He can't really turn her earnestness away, even if he doesn't really want to think about the reason for it.]

Jeez, alright... I guess I can't refuse you if it's like that. Just.... don't think you have to overdo it for a guy like me. There's much more deserving folks around of your time.

[fauxmarth]

I think I get to be the judge of that, yes? [it's too late, Duo; you're in this now.] It's my time to give, after all.

So I think you better expect more frequent visits...with maybe a few confections now and then, depending on how well my skills progress. You can suffer that, can't you?

[hellrisen02]

Okay, okay....

Hey, don't worry. I'll eat anything! [Is that supposed to be comforting?? There's a reason he's better with women for a night than longterm, mmkay.]

[fauxmarth]

That's good to hear. Now--I have to go, because it's my turn to prepare dinner. But I'll be in contact soon enough, be sure of that!

Have a good evening, Father Maxwell.

[hellrisen02]

Haha... You too, kiddo.


...Don't worry about the weaknesses of others. You do you, no matter what, okay?
