05 ☆ The chapter about romance got lost somewhere, okay?

[phone; unfiltered]

Uh... hi Mayfield! It's Sora again! Does anyone know how to, um... make a call... that only goes to certain people? Haha, I have no idea. I've never been good with things like this.

[phone; filtered away from Koharu when she inevitably figures that part out]

And again, hi! It's me!

[Yes, Sora. They know this by now. Really.D

[Thank god your father is an angel and has patience because he doesn't even know what she's trying to say.]

Would it be possible for you to repeat that so it's understandable.

[appleknighted]

[Okay, okay, attempt number two is go.]

I think I was told something really important, but I don't understand it...

[emperorsangel]

And what were you told?

[appleknighted]

That K-- [Oh, maybe she shouldn't name names. Uuuuh.] ...someone loves me?

second call

[letunityblossom]

[He is pretty sure he knows what this is about, buuut...]

Are you asking what to do about that, or what s--they meant?

[appleknighted]

...yes. [Oh, wait, that wasn't a yes or no question.] Ummm. Both?

[letunityblossom]

Alright... Well, I would think they mean they're in love with you, romantically.

[appleknighted]

Romantically?

[thunder_ace]

[It takes a couple of repetitions in her head, but Fate finally figures out what this girl's trying to say!] I think... you should just try to talk to them. It might be awkward, but it sounds like there's a lot of confusion on both sides here, so it would be best to just talk things out so you can figure out what to do from there.

[appleknighted]

But... but what if she doesn't want to talk to me? She ran off and...

[There's a faint 'thump' sound, which would be Sora's head lightly hitting the wall by the phone, where she'll just lean there with her forehead pressed against the surface.]

I shouldn't have let her run off... she was unhappy...

[thunder_ace]

Do you think she's still upset, right now? [There's no scolding tone in Fate's voice, even though that's usually a "wake-up call" type thing to say.] It's true, confronting her might make her unhappy... but it's better to do that and try to talk things out, rather than keeping away from her, which will only wind up hurting the two of you.

[It's hard to give advice when she has no idea what the other girl is like, but here's hoping this helps.]

[appleknighted]

I don't know. Well. Maybe not. She's a really kind person, so... [Sora just can't picture Koharu being angry at someone for long, if ever.] Y-yeah. You're right. I would never want to keep away, anyway! We're friends! And I'm her knight, I have to protect her!

[motheringnation]

[She's not really happy with you at the moment but you're confused so...]

Slow down and try that again. Slowly.

[appleknighted]

[B-but, but, what did she do, mama Ukraine? :C]

Ah, sorry. Um. Koharu told me that she loved me, but not the same way I love her, which was confusing...

[motheringnation]

[The whole "ownership" of her daughter, hits too close to home with her history.]

Alright. Let's see if we can work it out.

Now then. You know there's different types of love right?

The type of love you'd have for a sister, or a mother, or a close friend, or someone you were dating, or married to. They are not all the same.

[appleknighted]

[It's not something she can really control, though... aw well.]

Different types. Right. [Oh, apparently there are lots of different kinds.] They aren't? Ah, yeah, I guess they would have to be different or it'd be strange.

[appleknighted]

Really? You wouldn't?! [Wow, someone sounds awfully excited to learn about filters here, but then again, when isn't she excited about things?] Thank you!

[appleknighted]

Kiiiind of? Could you go over [bluh bluh more boring filter things.] one more time...?
