Oh, I was thinking of someone you were just kinda annoyed with. But, all is fair is war, yeah. [ either way, rafayel doesn't seem too bothered on who will be the worm victim. ]
...I suppose it does only last for a short time, but...well I guess my own experiences have coloured my perceptions. I'm not above turning a foe into sheep, if only to land blows more readily.

Well! For starters, she is a force of nature! Once she has an idea in her head, she truly doesn't slow down in the least. But--that is one of her best qualities! Emu isn't afraid to daydream of a better, more wonderful world, and then put in the work to make it happen. All she wishes to do is make others smile, and I daresay she is one of the best at it!
What a vibrant spirit! I can't fault you for being charmed, she sounds like a lovely young woman.
[Has Aphrodite been at work here, she wonders...though one can readily hold good friends in the same high esteems. If she had not just met him and been dragged through an unfortunate circumstance she might tease him a little about it.]
She noticed my incredible talent and hired me to work with her as an actor on her beloved stage!
[This is where he would normally strike a pose. In fact, he clearly thinks about it, and cannot because his hands are occupied and also Raf is standing on his foot.
... Well.
This is fine.
Ahem.]
Of course, she was rather pushy about it... but, hm, all's well that ends well! I certainly can't fault her eye for stardom!
...I'm sorry, I quite forgot I was doing the same? But this isn't a practical way to carry on at all. We can't remain attached for long. These effects must subside sometime.
Well if it's unfounded optimism and confidence she's looking for, she has come to the right place. Tsukasa doesn't hesitate to nod eagerly.]
Precisely! I'm certain what you are all dealing with will fade soon enough. In the meantime, this is no hardship for me, of course, so don't worry about it for even a moment!

Absolutely not!!

Don't tell me that you'd really use it...?!

Right, I... suppose someone must have brought us here...
[Mr. Brilliant has not thought about it at all.]

If they prove unreasonable, I have no qualms with making them a worm.
[But looks him over.]
What were those sandy figures though? I thought I may have imagined it, but someone had been pulling you to shore, hadn't they?

He's willing to jump on the subject change.]
Oh...! Yes, that is correct. She--they... it? Had Emu's... that is, a precious friend of mine from home, it had her face.
That's why I... couldn't not grab her hands.
no subject
She must be quite dear to you, to have such a profound effect. What was she like?
no subject
[He tilts his head, contemplative.]

no subject
An actor? Oh that's marvellous, I should have guessed from the strength of your recitation back there. Have you any further pieces you wish to share?
She clearly has a skilled eye for spotting fellow talent, yes.
no subject
And oh, praise... praise for his acting!! He beams at that, soaking it all up like a particularly sparkly sponge.]
Thank you very much!!
[Don't be so loud, Tsukasa, they're all stuck to you right now.]
I would be happy to share further pieces from some of my favorite shows! ... Er, perhaps another time, though, when I'm properly able to move.
It would be a little lacking to just be a monologue without any movement at all.
no subject
[But oh, hmm.]
Perhaps Rafayel can be persuaded to move his foot.
[Melinoë is still holding his hand.]
no subject
Hm, but if it really is helping, I wouldn't want to ask him to move. It's strange that this is what needs to be done, but I don't particularly mind.
I'm glad there is something I can do for all of you, at least!
no subject
[Looks down at her hand. Which is in his.]
...I'm sorry, I quite forgot I was doing the same? But this isn't a practical way to carry on at all. We can't remain attached for long. These effects must subside sometime.
