"It doesn't surprise me to learn," he says. He hadn't known, but it would never really surprise him to learn Lovers-san had a relationship, no matter who it was with. Except Hermit.

[cupidand]

"Mm. Then she and Hakan became an item for real and not just symbolically and that was that. He's fine with her dallying with mortals, but not the rest of us."

[fridgeninja]

"I'm sorry it happened that way," he says, diplomatically. "For someone like you, that can't have been easy."

[cupidand]

"Yeah," Psyche says, with a sigh. "It wasn't. She was so soft, you know? MALBOLGE is great, but xie's hard. You kinda need both. So yeah, I miss it. A lot, really. A girl has certain drives and all and it's not like there's all that many of us that understand recreation reproduction. Mei, Hakan, MALBOLGE... Lune, sort of, though she's more into being romanced and vamping for the sake of vamping. If she actually goes to bed with you, it's less for the sex and more because she's trying to screw with you a bit." She snickers. "Pun accidental."

and here's where the musebox thread will dovetail

"...I understand," Souji answers. "Mm. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get permission to help you with your recreation. Since it would hurt my partners' feelings, that's not something I can do to them... I'm sure you understand."

I see!

[cupidand]

Psyche looks disappointed, slumping against the loveseat. "Yeah. I kinda figured it might be like that. You've got cute girlfriends, but they're kinda jealous." She looks at him. "Do I at least get a kiss?"

[fridgeninja]

Souji considers a moment. As a one-time thing, apology or consolation, that ought to be all right. At least, it isn't a transgression on the same scale. "One kiss is something I could explain," he concedes, nodding, the faintest of smiles briefly on his lips.

[cupidand]

She leans over, then, and cupping his cheek with her hand, begins a long and leisurely kiss.

[fridgeninja]

Souji kisses back, not shy or impersonal, but not encouraging either, taking the kiss for what it is, and putting genuine, if restrained feeling into it; the end of this chapter of their story deserves nothing less.

I GOT THE THREADS MIXED UP

[cupidand]

Finally she pulls back. "Guess I can't have another," she says, ruefully. "It's too bad. You're a good kisser. I'm glad to have you on my team."

[fridgeninja]

"I'm glad to be on your team," he says, honestly, offering her a smile. "We have some differences, but considering everything, I still think we're suited for each other. I hope we can keep finding ways to work together, and learn more about each other."

[cupidand]

She smiles at him. "Thanks," she says. "I hope so too--and I do mean it. I mostly mean what I say. Prevaricating is Lune's bag. Remember that if Morty's idiot starts talking smack about me again."

[fridgeninja]

"Everyone's going to have different opinions," he says, peaceably. "Travelers are like Arcana that way."

[cupidand]

She stares at him for a moment, just blinking. "Are you really?"

Sorry, Souji, the idea that Travelers (characters, not people) are anything like Arcana (actually people) is just so weird to her.

[fridgeninja]

"That's why some of us are suited to each of you," he confirms. "We're all in our own place on the Mystic Journey, so we each have different perspectives and opinions."

[cupidand]

"Yeah," she admits. "That's true, I guess." Thank you for reframing it to be at least a little more comprehend-able, Souji.
