I have spent many days in my room [she pauses to decide on the word she wants to use, and then spits it out with disgust:] grieving. I have done violence, but it

Grieving, my God-King?

More continues to be taken from me, Suoh Tamaki. I have no stronghold.

[daddyhost]

Who is taking these things from you, I will not let them continue!

[noworldleft]

People I once knew at home. Allies. They no longer know me, and now seek to destroy all that I hold dear.

[daddyhost]

I will protect you.

[There is the sound of a snap as though Tamaki has just pulled something from thin air (which he has, it's a rose).]

Wherever there are girls in distress, that is my battle. Wherever anyone seeks to take out the light from any princess' eye, that is my battle.

This is a battle you can not win.

[daddyhost]

I do have many truly flawless qualities, loyalty is merely one.

[noworldleft]

Your others?

[daddyhost]

Obviously my looks, handsome in a way that surely even Eros would have envy of. My brains and creativity are sought after as much as my body, truly I am wonderful both inside and out.

[noworldleft]

I wonder if your confidence is misplaced arrogance. ... I would enjoy spending more time with you.
