I don't know if I get the sense that they're lying, but it's best to assume nothing is as easy as it sounds. [a beat] I don't mean to stress you out. There's not much that can be done about it right now, until whatever redemption activities they have planned begins.

[cupidsammo]

[ with a shake of her head: ]

No, I wouldn't expect it to be easy... But they did make it seem that if you were actually a good person, then it should turn out fine.

[kumeyuri]

Mm. If you have faith in yourself, then yeah, hopefully it'll work out.

[it's affection week so he moves to pat her on the shoulder before he looks surprised at himself because wtf is he doing]

[cupidsammo]

[ well - she doesn't mind it, but she does pick up on his own, if subtle, reaction ]

I'm not sure... I mean—I'm definitely going to try! But I can't do much besides hope for the best.

[kumeyuri]

[awkwardly lets his hand drop back to his side after pat]

Your spirit is admirable! [this is not sarcasm ftr he sounds sincere. for koharu's jp understanding this is uruha talking in casual speech up until now but randomly switching to more archaic speech for one sec.] For now, that's all we can do, really.

[cupidsammo]

[ sir your anime speech quirk ]

Yeah... [ inspecting the keychain she's got for a moment ] Do you think these are meant to bring back with us?

[kumeyuri]

[holds up a keychain and squints]

... Good question. How would you even explain this to anyone?

[cupidsammo]

[ , ]

Well. I could think of something.

[kumeyuri]

Went on an impromptu vacation no one knew about?

[cupidsammo]

Something work related might be more believable.

[kumeyuri]

[a tilt of his head]

What do you do for work?

[cupidsammo]

I... help humans fall in love.

[kumeyuri]

What?

[cupidsammo]

—No, really! I do!

[kumeyuri]

How does that even work!?

[cupidsammo]

[ like, panicked: ]

I shoot them?!

[kumeyuri]

You WHAT!?

[O__O]

[cupidsammo]

—Wait, that came out wrong! I— I— I mean I do but nobody gets hurt! They don't even know!

[kumeyuri]

[WAVES HIS HANDS]

Whoa, okay! Let's slow down and back up from the beginning here.

[cupidsammo]

[ wheeze ]

S- sorry... Um. I'm a cupid, so...

[kumeyuri]

[blinks]

Don't apologize. [gets that out of the way first.] Like... in the mythology?

[cupidsammo]

[ a nod!! ]

Yes, that's right. Like the stories!

[kumeyuri]

Right, I do recall that involved shooting people... I wasn't aware it was considered a job, though.

[cupidsammo]

Well, no... We do keep ourselves hidden away from humans.

[kumeyuri]

And then you shoot people to make them fall in love with each other.
