[there's a real chance the post on dead-people-twitter goes utterly unnoticed, considering it's a new account and it's hashtags have nothing to do with Esme. But for the Executors the fact that it's NOT about her or an advertisement might be strange enough to notice.

Also the fact that the username is lionaround1]

I need advice: how can you make yourself more approachable? I worry I make others around me uncomfortable but I wish to do better.

[then in responce to the first post:]

Also: what is a good way to make up with a friend who you ar fighting with?

Oh, don't tell me you want to be an idol too now.

[crypddyd]

Oh, definately not. I can't sing. Or dance.

[emberserker]

I can't imagine you doing it either, Lion. Though, uncomfortable? You seem normal, if socially awkward.

[crypddyd]

How did you know it was me?

[Lion, babe]

[emberserker]

Well, I didn't expect you to be able to spell, this account doesn't have a whit of obsessing over Esme, and your name is right there in your username.

[crypddyd]

My typing has improved! I have finally learned how to capitalize, for example.

...and Lions are animals, not just my name!

[Huffhuff]

[emberserker]

Really, you give us far too little credit. What even happened between the two of you?

[crypddyd]

... I assume you mean Kingslayer and myself since that was rather... public.

[he's not eager to mention what happened with Ruin]

[emberserker]

Who else would I be talking about? You two made quite a nuisance of yourselves.

[crypddyd]

I'm sorry. It... was my fault, so please don't hold it against them.

[emberserker]

I'm 50-50 for believing that as opposed to believing you're just blaming yourself because that's what you always do.

[crypddyd]

[WOW DON'T CALL HIM OUT LIKE THIS??? Like, she's right and if this wasn't text his expression would give it away. but thankfully it's over text!]

It was because I hesitated that Lady Rei had to step in. And then I overwhelmed them when they returned. That's part of what I mean about making others uncomfortable...

[emberserker]

Well, I can't help you with that. I've got my own priorities, and while I don't remember that much, I have to say I don't think working as a team was ever really among them. It seems we'll have to figure it out at some point.

[crypddyd]

Not everyone works well in teams, there's no shame in that. And if they don't feel comfortable fighting alongside me anymore I'll accept it.

Still, leaving it as is seems... unsatisfactory. The two of you seem comfortable with each other even though you often fight?

[emberserker]

We

[Yeah, she just dropped her phone. She'll quickly pick it up and send another message.]

I don't know why, all we do is talk about our lives and things like strategy. They were in some kind of competition similar to GRANBELM, albeit without magical constructs to fight in. They and their opponents were the constructs, to hear them tell it, partnered with mages.

[crypddyd]

I see... so you understand them in a way I do not, having had more similar experiences.

[emberserker]

I'm sure there's something you can understand about Kingslayer. You even fight the same way.

[crypddyd]

I suppose we do have a similar aggressive style.

[emberserker]

Don't they say that's a mark of a similar heart, or something of the like? Surely there's something you've got in common.

[crypddyd]

...

Sometimes people too much alike can never get along. Especially if they don't much like themselves either.

[He means himself, but unknown to him he might not be the only one]

[emberserker]

Perhaps, but it sounds like you're just giving up. Don't you think?

[crypddyd]

I am trying to respect their wishes.

[She's not wrong though]

[emberserker]

Well, the two of you are going to have to figure something out sooner or later, because we need the both of you on the front lines if we're going to make a dent in Esme.

[crypddyd]

You're right. Even if we can't be friends anymore we both want to serve Lady Rei properly. If nothing else I hope that can bring some peace.

I'll talk to them.
