buzen just nods. it's not up to him or anyone else to say whether or not her reasons are good enough, no matter what they are]
... well, I'm glad you're alive. Though I hope that your future choices might be a little lighter - like what place you get to travel to next, or what sight you want to see.
[ That stirs up some conflicting feelings, and it flickers across her features for the briefest moment.
She settles on a smile. ]
Thank you for your kind wishes. [ ... ] I'll say this much. It depends on how soon or if we're able to leave here, but... at home, my next choice was going to make things better for my family.
[buzen raises his brows at that - it's not unfamiliar, considering how often family spats ruined lineages in history, but it's not like he has any family himself to truly understand the situation]
I'm sorry to hear it. What are they disagreeing about?

It sounds like you've earned a little more peace.

We're going to be able to leave here. I don't plan on just letting all of you remain somewhere you don't want to be.
... can I ask how? Is your family alright?
no subject
[ Her expression is a bit rueful. Her family isn't alright, but it is what it is. ]
no subject
I'm sorry to hear it. What are they disagreeing about?
no subject
He is sore because my father won't choose him for his heir.
no subject
[yeah, he's definitely heard of that before]
Who is the heir? Is it you, Ro-san?
[he knows daughters normally aren't but maybe she's not from japan! maybe it's different!]
no subject
No, I've never been first in my father's eyes. It's the next eldest son. There is no love between my older brothers.
no subject
[his expression wrinkles a bit at that. hmmm. he's never met a woman before coming here but he really doesn't see why sons are so favored...]
And how are you feeling? Caught amidst other people's battles?
no subject
[ Her response is serene, sure in her answer. ]
no subject
Your family must be really important to you... They're lucky to have you.
I hope they realize that, even if you aren't named heir.
no subject
[ She smiles. ]
Thank you, Buzen. You're sweet. Has anyone told you that?
no subject
[he tilts his head]
I don't think so. Is that a compliment, Ro-san? Or are you teasing me...?
no subject
Can't it be both? It's a compliment.
no subject
[kowaii]
But if it's a compliment, then I'm honored. Thank you.
no subject
[ She doesn't sound surprised, really. ]
no subject
[he raises his hands by his head in a 'mercy' gesture]
Though I do intend on learning better from here. Human bodies take longer to heal than I thought...
no subject
Human bodies can be a bit frail. Would you like something as a reward?
no subject
Is this a trick question? Why wouldn't I want a reward?
no subject
Pick something you want that I can give you.
no subject
Eh...? Something I want...?
[???????????????
buzen has never asked anyone for anything in his LIFE]
no subject
[ Not selfless enough to not want a reward but not not selfless enough to ask for something. ]
Think about something you want.
no subject
... I don't know if it's anything you can give me, Ro-san...
If I had to ask you for something, it might be... Mm... Eh... That's not really my style...
no subject
[ She's not fussed. ]
Ruminate on it for a while.
