Sorry.

[ ??? an apology??? ????????????????

gently pat ]

Juno the Aesthetic.

[idologist]

... thank you, Clima the Patient.

[ Look! They know Clima's name!! Okay maybe they're being a bit petty, but it's also to show THEY PAY ATTENTION AND CARE. ]

[gentilleowlet]

. . . That unpleasant woman said that, didn't she . . .

[ with a little frown as he keeps patting their head ]

[idologist]

Yes? Was she wrong?

[ blink blink. Juno does not understand what there is to frown about that unless she was mistaken. ]

[gentilleowlet]

The unpleasantness is that she was right.

[idologist]

... I don't get it.

[gentilleowlet]

How did she know who we were?

[idologist]

I mean... the cultist people seemed to know a lot about us too, and it's not like our identities are a huge secret? We make up the Court of Halation!

[gentilleowlet]

Those two. . . That's right, they knew too. But, they were trying for this kingdom in the first place. It isn't surprising that they'd know something like that, and in turn, that Dragon knowing isn't unusual, either.

But that woman knew. She's unrelated—she hates that Dragon fellow, too. So then, how did she know?

[idologist]

Um. I don't know?

[ And they aren't sure how to find out now, either. ]

[gentilleowlet]

[ pauses ]

It's not a question for you.

[ and he pats their head gently ]

But it's unpleasant to not know that answer.

[idologist]

... mm, that's true. It is unpleasant not to know.

[gentilleowlet]

[ closing his eyes. ]

. . . As long as Dusk is safe and happy, it's fine.

[idologist]

... um, I've been meaning to ask, but what is the situation with you and Dusk...?

[gentilleowlet]

I'm in love with her.

[idologist]

How come?

[gentilleowlet]

Isn't it obvious? She's cute.

[idologist]

...nn?

[ Everyone is cute to Juno so this is not much of an explanation ]

[gentilleowlet]

You don't think so?

[ the air gets

a little chilly. ]

[idologist]

I do, but... that's the problem, isn't it? Since I'm not in love with Dusk just because she's cute. So I don't really understand. Sorry!

[gentilleowlet]

[ we're back to our regularly scheduled normal fluff ]

It's fine if you don't understand.

[idologist]

Love sure is complex, huh...
