"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
[did you just sneeze into your blanket..... yang?!
oh well, she's preparing two bowls of the cheesecake ice cream that she got before putting the rest of the carton into the freezer. a gift from her to yang.
then she's humming thoughtfully as she goes to join her friend on the couch and offer her the bowl.]
Glowing tattoos? [that sounds kind of dangerous but she supposes she can see why a person like that would catch Yang's eye... hmmmm.....] He get more interesting every time you mention him.
[Yeah, that's Natalia makes a surprise noise around the spoon in her mouth. The cold ice cream on her tongue is now warring with the slight warmth on her cheeks.
Then after she finishes the bite she forgets her impeccable dining manners for a moment to point her spoon accusingly at Yang!]
You have absolutely no place to talk about Shin-Ah! That entire thing was your doing.
[Yang gave the suggestion for a kiss on the hand?! And the entire shop's promotion was about kisses..... but she just grumps and puts another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. Hmph!]
Regardless, I've already told you I can't think of anyone that way.
[So utterly subtle. If it was anyone besides Natalia, they'd probably roll their eyes.]
In your eyes, perhaps....
But it's an old promise that's very important to me. I couldn't change my engagement without my father's approval as well...
[Though she trails off then, humming thoughtfully. After running into Koujaku this morning, the subject of parents is being brought all the more to the forefront of her mind.]
Likely not. [She doesn't even mean just in regards to Shin-Ah either, but mostly-] I have to consider my position when I think about my future.
[Including who she's going to be married to. That much is kind of just a given for her though.]
Father is very forgiving and loving and I have no doubt that he'd wish only for my happiness - but it's not something I can really decide on my own at the moment. Particularly when I do have a fiancee.
Admittedly, she has been keeping these frustrations all to herself for some time - she didn't want to risk making Tear feel awful about it, after all - but she still visibly struggles for a few moments before she settles--]
Well, it's something like.... Twins?
[Natalia??]
My fiancee and childhood friend, Luke, was... kidnapped a few years ago. We'd thought that he had returned to us, but as an amnesiac. Poor Luke has spent the last 7 years trying to understand the world again and remembering his parents' faces and who I even was. However he was kept under confinement in his manor so dates weren't exactly.... conducive.
Yet it turns out that the boy who was returned to us wasn't the original Luke - but rather the original Luke now goes by the name of Asch and I hadn't known this until less than a year ago. Asch is very much the lone wolf type you see and oh- he's so frustrating! He refuses to trust me with anything, but I know he's only doing everything with the fate of the world in mind....
[ The longer Natalia keeps talking, the more incredulous Yang is looking. Because honestly, she can't help it. A fiancee from childhood goes missing, only to come back, only it wasn't him, it was his apparent twin who had no memory of anything, while the actually fiancee pulled a Naoki and went all LONE WOLF but why hadn't he just come back and claimed his rightful spot and what

Yang, why would I go on a date if I'm already engaged?
[ah yes, the disconnect]

He had... far more important things to consider besides dates, to be quite honest.
