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 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."

[sword_of_dracoheart]

... Why?

::Stares, wrinkling her nose. She can smell you.::

[hardcorebestcore]

She shrugs.

"Have no idea! Kept talking about 'ill winds' and 'us needing to be prepared' and 'Geo go and eat that sun.'

Was very surreal."

[sword_of_dracoheart]

...

Maybe you should avoid crazy matriarchs.

[hardcorebestcore]

"Has not been problem until recently! Was hoping she would ignore me..."

[sword_of_dracoheart]

So. Do you need any help.

Mom and Dad might be befuddled by me bringing a strange girl home.

[hardcorebestcore]

"... Would it be the good kind of befuddled when we can laugh about it later? Or the kind that gets too many questions asked?"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

.. Probably both. And Dad's a bit bothered I haven't shown much interest in guys...

[hardcorebestcore]

"...He wouldn't like truth very much, yes?"

[sword_of_dracoheart]

Probably not. ... And to be honest, I'm torn on it myself. It's something I should be growing out of.

[hardcorebestcore]

A blink.

"Grow out of... what?"
