You can find Trendafilka flopped out in the park, for once looking exhausted, a little beat up, and her hands wrapped in a few bandages. She's also in athletic shorts and doesn't have a drop of makeup on. ...Is it really Trendafilka then?

She groans a little before getting to her feet and pulling you into a hug. It's not quite as dramatic as she would hug Slate (or Garum) but it is pretty evident she missed you alot.

"Tsurugi! Is that new outfit? I like it!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

::Eeps a bit.::

Um... I just started my job since I graduated from High School...

[hardcorebestcore]

"Uh-huh!

And you're working for... your father, yes? Lawyer?"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

Yes. For secretarial work for him and a few other men he works with...

[hardcorebestcore]

"... Is it super boring?"

Social skills are secondary in her family!

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... Basically. It's mostly a paycheck for another year until I either get signed on a pro within the next year, or if I fail that, I then go to law school.

... Or I marry a very rich guy.

[hardcorebestcore]

"You can be signed as pro! I believe in you!

... do you even like boys enough to marry one?"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... Would you say no to a large bank account? Even if you felt little to the person in question?

[hardcorebestcore]

"Absolutely. Money is nice, will not lie, but I would lose mind if I married someone who I didn't love with entire being."

She blinks slowly, like this is common sense.

"Would rather be poor and have someone I felt strongly about than be richest person in world and have someone I feel nothing for."

[sword_of_dracoheart]

Well I can.

[hardcorebestcore]

She droops a little.

"And what happens if he actually feels that sort of way about you? That's super unfair!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

As long as we understand the marriage is for the maximized benefit of ourselves, that's fine.

::She's got a really, business-y view of marriage. DOesn't she?::

[hardcorebestcore]

"That's not how it's supposed to work!"

Deep breath.

"It's all about respect and equals and not about money or taxes or stuff that's BORING. I'll get super rich so you and everyone else I like doesn't have to marry someone who's a terrible influence like that!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... ::Pats you on the head, sweetly, Trena. Like a girl patting a puppy or a bunny.::

[hardcorebestcore]

She knows enough that that's slightly condescending and frowns.

"You're a dragon! You don't have to settle for things like that!

[sword_of_dracoheart]

Being a dragon is why I'd settle for that.

[hardcorebestcore]

"That's ridiculous! Making your own money or going pro sounds a whole lot more rewarding!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

And a sudden pile of gold and jewels sounds equally rewarding.

[hardcorebestcore]

"... Do people even have those anymore? I thought all money was in banks."

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... That's dumb.

[hardcorebestcore]

"So, is completely pointless to self-worth to do what you're talking about!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... I don't see it as a problem for my self-worth. Marriage is just mostly another kind of business in a lot of ways.

[hardcorebestcore]

"That's a stupid way of looking at it!"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

You vanished for a while when you were supposed to meet me and Garum for self-defense training.

[hardcorebestcore]

She gives a small nod.

"Was kidnapped by demon clan matriarch to punch bears in mountains."
