"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?"
[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
[This calls for more ice cream, to be honest. Natalia is eating it all the more fervently now. Luckily she exercises to even it out.
She huffs and yet it probably sounds more like a whining noise.]
To say the least!
Oh it's all... so absurd.... [And she sighs as she cleans out the rest of her ice cream.] .... Luke has since seen the world and our home is no longer in danger but....
But okay, 'ditching' is such a strong word, she's wincing at it. It's not like Asch doesn't care about her!! He still remembers their promise, that's what was made clear in Sheridan, after all....]
Well....!
[he's very maladjusted]
I... well, I'm busy too, I suppose. I was in the middle of visiting different places in my country. Perhaps he simply couldn't find me? Though I suppose he could've at least written a few letters.... Or there's something else on his mind. He's been alone all these years, after all....
