Heart Soldier Senshi - SATURDAY NOON PST

[idolpro]

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

RECIPE BOOK

[leaveofabsence]

Perhaps not this literally. But love, care and attention should be incorporated into every cup. A true connoisseur will be mindfully savoring the tea.

Or perhaps in this case - the extra effort may help soothe this troubled person's spirit.

[happydreamed]

That's true... I do feel bad for them, experiencing something like that.

[leaveofabsence]

Indeed.

Betraying that sort of agreement is quite the offense.

[happydreamed]

I would be angry rather than simply depressed, myself. Let's see what we can do for this poor soul.

[leaveofabsence]

From discussions, it seems that you and Hurricane believe that a latte would be the best choice?

[happydreamed]

"Sweet, comforting. A little vulnerable-making." 'Twould seem to be a fit.

So that means... A secret to confess, is it?

[leaveofabsence]

[ Thinks about this for a very long while ]

I'm not sure if I have anything worth confessing...

[happydreamed]

Indeed, that is the difficult part. I've not been here long enough to accumulate many secrets.

[leaveofabsence]

Likewise, I was in a game that revealed most of my past. So outside of you as a new arrival, I do not have many secrets left.

And I would not wish to make an lower quality drink involving a lower quality offering.

[happydreamed]

No, indeed not. That would be an insult to your pride as a connoisseur of tea.

[leaveofabsence]

Precisely so please let me know if I can assist in other ways.

[happydreamed]

If we prepare any juice-based drinks, are you comfortable sharing memories...?

[leaveofabsence]

Yes, I am. I am more than happy to share the good in my life and I have no fear of showing this group the difficult moments or when I stumbled.

[happydreamed]

You're a good man, Zhongli. Would that we were all so fearless.

[leaveofabsence]

[ It's more that regret is a foreign emotion. ]

It is hardly praiseworthy when people are so accepting. I believe it speaks more to the audience than the speaker.

[happydreamed]

True. We were blessed by wonderful unitmates, were we not?

[leaveofabsence]

While I can name no idol that I have actively disliked, my bias does say that I prefer this unit to another other due to the people in it.

[happydreamed]

There is a distance between disliking someone and being willing to trust them with difficult or painful memories.

[leaveofabsence]

You are correct.

But perhaps I have also been fortunate enough that no one has yet reacted poorly to my vulnerabilities, which occurs quite often here as you might imagine.
