[Peacfully sitting in the gardens, Beatrice certainly wasn't expecting to see Battler running to her.

She had seemed a bit reluctant during their earlier conversation, or perhaps it was only being unprepared for any riddles. Regardless, it didn't look promising, which was hardly a surprise to Beato, though another disappointment on a list of many.]

[ ... There she was. Battler's pace quickens, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. ] Beato! You dumb witch-- [ As soon as she comes within an arms length, Battler's hands go to the other woman's shoulders. Never mind that she was sitting, or that the red head was out of breath ] Idiot! You idiot!

[Wait, what--]

Before you go ahead and call me an idiot, would you care to tell me exactly what I have done?

[bluetruths]

Idiot--! [ Battler was definitely crying at this point in time--the tears calling down her cheeks quickly--but, just as usual, she couldn't find it in herself to care ] Why didn't you just tell me the truth? Why did you have to go through such a roundabout way of things?!
