sparkle sparkle. he nods, pretty amicable to like all of this honestly ]

Mm. As long as it doesn't take me away from her.

[hashtagcursed]

Yeah, yeah, you're sickeningly devoted to her, I get it.

[ amused, tho ]

So, moving on to your application for the position of Dusk's husband...we've already had your first interview and gone over the requirements and duties that will be expected of you. You've proved your devotion and strength, your ability and willingness to protect her, and your worth is still under review. You will be training to learn how to support her emotionally and domestically. So that leaves the background check.

So tell me, Clima the Patient of the Cumulus Kingdom: what brings a noble from a place as prestigious as that to a dump like this?

[gentilleowlet]

Dusk.

[ simply

shortly

did you think this was going to be easy ]

[hashtagcursed]

[ no

that's why she gave herself a day ]

You couldn't have known anything about her.

[gentilleowlet]

It's love at first sight.

[hashtagcursed]

But you couldn't have seen her until you came here.

[gentilleowlet]

And?

[hashtagcursed]

So why did you come here! It couldn't have been for Dusk. You didn't know about her until you were here!

oh!

oh right ]

. . . Culture exchange?

[ like it's a vague, distant memory ]

[hashtagcursed]

Culture exchange. Is that just Cumulan for 'nice stuff we're taking it'? I've got some news for you! We don't have stuff.

[gentilleowlet]

[ quiet, not responsive to that because

well

she's not

wrong. . . ]

[hashtagcursed]

Guilty as charged, I see! Well, I don't really care. Since, again, we're not worth it. And besides that, Dusk would be sad if you did anything. You're not taking her away, by the way. I wouldn't even have to kill you, Walnut would probably feed you to the Deep Ones basically instantly.

So I guess the answer to that question is 'Dusk, but I was originally here to take over'. Not that...you wouldn't be ruler, too, if you married her. So I guess you win either way. Speaking of...you promised her a kingdom. Cumulus, right? I thought you meant some little middle of nowhere place, but how're you going to manage that?

[gentilleowlet]

[ taking a moment ]

I'm not taking her away anywhere. I want to be happy here with her.

[hashtagcursed]

Cute. So what about home?

[gentilleowlet]

[ mmm

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ]

[hashtagcursed]

Please respond.

[gentilleowlet]

[ closes his eyes. ]

[hashtagcursed]

Clima.

[gentilleowlet]

[ opens them ]

What was the question?

[hashtagcursed]

Home. How are you going to deal with them if you stay?

[gentilleowlet]

[ oh, well ]

You don't have to worry about that.

[hashtagcursed]

I'm worried about it.

[gentilleowlet]

To make it clear, you're worried about whether or not Cumulus is a threat, right?
