Accidental Video

[refinedvillian]

About Lydia...What must I do to make her like me?

[To ask such a question, Edgar's guest must have been close to one of them but when the video opens, his guest if hidden off screen. Somehow, the view changes and Nico, Lydia's fairy cat for those who know her well enough, is shown to occupy the second seat and he doesn't look the least bit pleased.

Neither does Edgar, with his chin propped up by his fist.] There isn't any man she fancies, right? So I thought I had a good chance.

[His words seem to make Nico angry enough to have his fur stand on end. His meows go on for quiet a while, Edgar looking surprisingly chastised.]

I'm sorry. Let me ask the butler to bring that over? [That catches the cat's attention.]These are chocolates filled with liqueur, just imported from France.

Please, help yourself. [They were useless words as Nico is already doing just that, in a very uncat like manner.] Consider it my thanks for just now.

[Maybe it's those words, maybe it's the thought of Lydia's happiness but the fairy stops, looking at the food for a second.

As if he understood, the video ends on Edgar's response.] Yes...I understand.

video lalala

[ She's still at her father's study when she replies, even while she's still responding to her own post. She's got a dull look right now because Edgar you can't even understand Nico why are you talking to him.. ]

Would you like me to translate so you know exactly what you just got scolded over?

always video...alalala!

[refinedvillian]

I think I have a general idea but, please.

[moonspell]

[ She normally wouldn't bother to help Edgar with something like this but a lot of this is just.. stuff she wants too and would want regardless of any romantic interest from any party.

Either way, she's going to replay the video and just repeat what Nico says for him, though certainly a lot less enthusiastically. She's not exactly a primed actress anyway. ]

"You dare say such a thing after the performance you put on with that girl with the orange curls? Moreover your attitude around Lydia makes it seem as if you're just teasing her. You and Lydia come from different worlds..." [ She decides to leave out the part about why she keeps her distance.. it's only part of it anyway. ] "...Please, don't toy with her with such half-hearted feelings."

Then... it seems like you got the last part, didn't you? Not to lie to me.

[refinedvillian]

Ah, I did.

You didn't happen to add in anything yourself? [It's a half hearted tease, at best.]

[material_guy]

Running outtah patience?

always video;

[refinedvillian]

Not for Lydia but I'd be lying if I said I didn't already want her.

[material_guy]

It's hard when she gets pissed off when you settle for someone you can get faster now and then for a little relief.

[refinedvillian]

I haven't settled for anything. She's not completely right in her assumptions.

[cleanestwitch]

You make it sound as if she is a puzzle you cannot solve.

always video;

[refinedvillian]

Rather, it's the woman I love and I'm beginning to doubt she'll return it. It's actually much more boring than one would want to assume.

[cleanestwitch]

If that is truly the case, perhaps you are placing too much pressure on the relationship. You cannot force a person's feelings to change. And if you change yourself to change their feelings, then the relationship would be built upon falsehoods.

[refinedvillian]

Even if you can't forced someone's feelings, you can prove things to them. I had hoped that once she believed me, she would allow herself more.

Oh, oh, onii-san! Pick me, pick me, I know!

[ HAPPILY BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. ]

You know, there's this really cool guy in my world, and he goes around in a tuxedo and a top hat and a mask saving girls.. if you'd save Lydia-chan like that, I'm sure she'd love you, since I sure love Tuxedo Mask!

always video;

[refinedvillian]

How could I not choose you? You've already given me the best advice. [Usagi always brings a chuckle.]

I'll do my best to always save her but I would prefer if she stayed out of trouble.

[selene]

Then maybe there needs to be a situation that's not really dangerous, only a little bit..! Like.. what if she'd trip and you'd catch her before she falls? That's so romantic!

[refinedvillian]

I owe Lydia a lot. I'm not sure catching her will make up for that.

[He smiles.] But thank you. I'll remember to be careful around her.

[voice]

[desertification]

[Edgar, why are you bothering with this "romance" thing, it's a waste of time and effort.]

I assume that's not a normal cat.

video cause that's how he rolls

[refinedvillian]

[Because he found somebody worth it.]

No. It's one of the many fairies Lydia can communicate with.

[rosejam]

Is Lydia the one you're trying to court?

[refinedvillian]

Very much. It's beginning to look as if it was hopeless, after all.

[rosejam]

You seem like a gentleman to me.

[refinedvillian]

[Better to be the one to tell her, rather than Lydia.] I've made some mistakes in the past that I still have to make up for.

[lifeisbrief]

Has something happened?

[handwritten]

[refinedvillian]

No, I supposed I just had a moment of weakness. [Nothing's really happening for Lydia, and that IS the problem.]

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

Everyone goes through those.
