Hm. Disappointed? He spent time with the woman; he's gotta have some sort of opinion on her. The way he says it makes her feel like he'd prefer her company to Milla Maxwell's, which is flattering and very ??!! at the same time--she's going to hmph. ] It can't be that weird. She's meant to be there.
[ And so was she, the way she was. Silver gave her that thought a while ago. It's still hard to swallow, because it doesn't feel like something she deserves to have a right to. Even if she does. Sanae keeps telling her she has a right to any happiness--this is so much. ]
An--anyway, really? Weird? That's such a childish way of putting it.
Weird, though. [ It's okay, Ludger, if it's any consolation nothing you could've said would have been right. This is probably the best you're getting. ] Fine, fine. Just... Just don't say it like that, all right? It sounds like you'd rather have me around than her.
[ okay that may be a weird way to put it but she doesn't know how else to put it. ]
She'd probably count him as something like a friend. He's one of the closest things she has to one from back ho--from that world, barring their female company. ]
Friends? [ There's a slight edge of disbelief to it. Friends. ] We're friends?
[ (She hadn't really been awesome to him before, and her attitude certainly hadn't lessened here, even if she was happy to see him and--OTHER VARIOUS REASONS.) ]
Why would I wanna be? [ She needs to shut up. She knows it. The wallpaper curls because of the turn the conversation's taken, and she knows it's her fault. It usually is. ]
I never said I-- [ She bites back on it. She shouldn't want to be friends or be happy that he'd want to call them friends. She shouldn't really consider him one. You don't hate him? drifts in her mind--
dammit, Silver. ] There's nothing to apologize for. Just forget it.

[Hey... !]
You were there first, for me. So naturally it would be weird.

[It's confusing.]
You're my friend. Milla is too, but it's still a strange situation. That's all.
