[You people are ridiculous and this is why Ling has been avoiding the masks altogether. So color him surprised when, upon going to his room, he finds Ed trying to climb in through a window. And wearing Ran Fan's mask at that.]

Ed?

[itsaxingthing]

"Prince"? That's new.

[So is this staying on her knees thing.]

[autoamazon]

Not really. It's what you are, so I can call you that if I want.

[He's making such a big deal out of nothing!]

[itsaxingthing]

I see. [Well okay, sure, that works. Kind of.] Say, you're not here because you reconsidered that proposal, are you?

[autoamazon]

...Still wondering about that? [There's a slight shift in her voice, as if the question - or the idea of a proposal - isn't so funny anymore.] I'm not so sure if it's appropriate at a time like this.

[itsaxingthing]

Really? Because outside it looks like the world might end. Now is about the only time we have left.

[autoamazon]

What, so you're interested in me because the world's ending, now? That's flattering. [Soooo not helping her self-esteem today.]

[itsaxingthing]

I thought I already established I was interested. I figured maybe you'd be the one interested now.

[Because his self esteem can certainly take the hit of being a last resort due to the world ending.]

[autoamazon]

It's not like I'd change my mind just because the moon's being crazy. We made it through one apocalypse, we'll manage with this one somehow.

[Though that leaves her very little excuse as to why she was even looking for him, damn.]

[itsaxingthing]

That's pretty disappointing to hear, you know. [The bit about not changing her mind, rather. The other bit is fine!]

So why are you here, then?

[autoamazon]

...Um. [FIDGET FIDGET. If she wasn't wearing a mask right now she'd look very unsure.] I don't... really know. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

[itsaxingthing]

You're just worried about the Moon. I understand. [He casually heads over to the window and closes the curtain. Now then, how will he comfort Ed in her hour of need?] We should do something to take your mind off it.

[autoamazon]

[Ed blinks, leaning back to watch him shut the curtains. And he did that... why?]

Got something in mind, then?

[itsaxingthing]

We could spend some quality time together, what do you say? There's a nice comfortable couch we could share just outside this room.

[And it's just small enough that they'd have to sit side by side to share it.]

[autoamazon]

...Are you coming on to me, young master? [Yeah she went there. With the title.

...Okay it may not have been entirely intentional but dammit she'll pretend it's a joke.]

[itsaxingthing]

[Young master? Wow. She's really getting into this role. He turns back to her, ever smiling.]

Please, there's no need for that. You don't have to call me young, you're not that much older than me. [But the master thing is totally okay.]
