[IC Contact And Continuations]
[ Back at the dorm from her morning exercise, Amaranth comes looking for Camellia—out in the garden, perhaps, or reading in her room. ]
[ She doesn't approach her immediately—instead goes to start up a pot of tea before returning with her tea tray ready with two cups. ]
Ah— Camellia?
I hope I am not interrupting.
Ah— Camellia?
I hope I am not interrupting.
What manner of study? What discipline, I mean.
—Ah, I am just curious.
[ but she comes in and sets down the tea, though she doesn't sit down quite yet ]

With a kraken?
I should like to hear that story sometime.
[ a pause ] May I sit? There was something I was hoping to talk about, if I could find a quiet moment for it.

Thank you.
[ she pulls over a chair, slightly offset to the desk, and pours a cup of tea, which she offers to Camellia ]
It's rice green tea; I, ah, hope it's alright.
—And maybe we shouldn't just share stories, but parts of our worlds' histories, in that case. Yours has more in common with my own than most do, I think.

[ she pours her own tea then, just holding the warm cup in her hands a moment ]
In my own world, the only demons that cause trouble are those who have broken free of their summoner's bindings—but many types can become very dangerous in that case. That said, I have no memory fighting one myself, perhaps since sorcerers did not much frequent our province.
Is it traditional for youths to be given dangerous tasks like that? Or do you work with an older commander? —Though, ah, regardless, I think it's quite impressive.

[A small box is at the door to LiliS with an attached note, which reads: "Thank you for the lovely tea. You are a kind and lovely person, and I wish all the best for you.
- Sekhmet."
Inside are several small tea tins, consisting of sencha, oolong, earl gray, lychee, and a spiced rooibos blend.]

He sounds like quite the prodigy.
What is the difference between an exorcist and an exwire? Is he sent on missions on his own?

Mm, Yuki-chan is amazing.
Ah...the main difference is exwires are still students. We're still studying in our meisters. Exorcists have passed their certifications and mastered a meister. Exorcists have rankings too, of course. That ranking is determined by how strong of a demon you've defeated by yourself.

I don't know how similar it really is to the sorcerers in Creation, but I imagine many of them would be honored to study in such a program.
Of course... ah, I've known for some time that you're brave enough for that calling.

To me you are very brave. It takes bravery and strength alike not only to do the work you do in your home, but to continue to be such a source of kindness for LiliS.
I'm glad, then. It's very much so what I want for us.
[ a pause ]
...I suppose I should also tell you what I came to talk about specifically. —It's to do with me, not you, but you have a right to know about it.

Ah........ [ it's fine! it's no big deal! it's... ] ...yes, I suppose so.
I had an argument with ZRAEL during the cards game. It wasn't the only reason I was worried about them, but... when you were hurt, I believed that it was secretly because of me.
I attempted to confront Requiem about it, but it only made the misunderstanding worse.

Well...
At that point, after that conversation, it looked like ZRAEL really had targeted us in a game to try to get at me.
If they wanted me dead like that—enough to try to use the games—then it was a crisis I needed to resolve as quickly as possible, while keeping things as separate from LiliS as I could.
In my homeland, a duel is traditional when an argument can be resolved no other way: it's a way to prevent bloodshed from spiraling further.
—Before I go on, I should say, ahead of time, that in the end, no one was hurt.
But: I challenged Requiem to a duel to the death.
There was a member each of sensitIV and pep!pep! present, but it never got that far. I could see that there was something holding Requiem back—and that is how I found out in time that it really had been a misunderstanding.
If Requiem had been wholly honest at the start, it might not have happened. The first fault lies with me, though. I thought that ZRAEL must have fed you a polite lie—and so I failed to trust your judgment of them.
