Remind me never to get involved in anyone's love life again. I spent a few days trying to save one of Kido's coworkers who got kidnapped. Another Rider got involved because he was in love with her. Then another woman got kidnapped, and she had a crush on him. And after all that was solved, another woman showed up in love with him, convinced him to go out with her because she had a medical condition she thought was more serious than it was, and I think somewhere in there his current secretary is also in love with him.

I've never been so glad February in the community is over.

Wait, back up. Which of these women was in love with this Rider who got involved?

[promisedknight]

Two women, one man. The first woman can't stand him.

[former_endboss]

What a player. Though I don't see why she's in love with him if she cannot stand his presence. Still, I think I can make something of this.

[promisedknight]

No, there are two other women besides her. I don't even know how I kept track of that.

[former_endboss]

Ohhh, you should have made that clearer. Yeah, this is pretty good then. Thanks for telling me about this.

[promisedknight]

I lived through it and I can't make sense of it.

[former_endboss]

Well perhaps that's because you're not equipped to understand it.

[promisedknight]

More like I'm not drunk enough.

[former_endboss]

I don't think you'll ever understand the hearts of women. It's genetic. You either have two X chromosomes, or you don't.

[promisedknight]

I understand women just fine. Relationships are the hard part.

[former_endboss]

Giving up so easily? I didn't know you Rider types were ones to retreat from battle. Not that I'm not sure what you rider types actually are, but I didn't have you pegged as someone who was intimidated by love triangles.

[promisedknight]

It's a lot easier to fight each other when you don't have to keep track of who's in love with who.

[former_endboss]

But it makes the story all the sweeter when star-crossed love and crossed blades are combined.

[promisedknight]

I'll have to remember to keep away from any art about my world. I'm sure that's probably a thing.

[former_endboss]

Probably wise. I've looked for stuff about mine, but I haven't found any.

So it doesn't exist, or it's just not available to me.

[promisedknight]

You're probably lucky.

[former_endboss]

Probably. But I wouldn't mind seeing some people in the typical porn poses that you get. I could send her those images and use the resulting chaos to my advantage.

[promisedknight]

Well, be careful about them taking revenge.

[former_endboss]

It would be like a baby rabbit taking revenge. Completely harmless.

[promisedknight]

True. Guess you can have fun then.

[fallen_stage]

You could write an opera with a plot like that.

[promisedknight]

I'd settle for just keeping out of their lives.

[fallen_stage]

A lesson most often learned with experience. Still, I think life would be very boring if everyone was sensible about love.

[promisedknight]

Maybe. But I'm going to think twice the next time my roommate tries to drag me into something I'm not involved in again.

[aquaticrush]

Love lives are usually complicated.

[promisedknight]

That's one way of putting it.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. Is there anything we can do?

[promisedknight]

If you can figure out a way to have someone swear off romance, let me know. Right now, I'll settle for keeping out of people's relationships and trying to ignore my roommate's ideas.

[aquaticrush]

Just don't try having them almost destroy the world.

[promisedknight]

At least that's not their style.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry, that probably sounded strange.

[promisedknight]

No, it didn't, and that's what scares me.

[aquaticrush]

Oh, um -- sorry!

[promisedknight]

It's nothing to be sorry about. I just feel like I've realized how bizarre my life is all of a sudden.

[aquaticrush]

I think a lot of us have that moment.

[promisedknight]

It'd be easier if I could just stop answering my phone, but when I live with that level of insanity...

[aquaticrush]

I think it is a lot easier with friends, though.

[promisedknight]

I'm not completely sure on that. You don't know the people I do.

[aquaticrush]

I just think it's easier and a lot better to have friends than to be alone.

[promisedknight]

...Sometimes. But sometimes, it's more they shouldn't have to worry about.

[aquaticrush]

I don't think so.

[promisedknight]

Some people have a lot on their plates already without having to worry about someone else making a mess of things for them.

[aquaticrush]

I know that's true. But sometimes, people don't think of you that way, even if you think you'll only cause trouble for them!

[promisedknight]

Even if they don't think that, I can't risk getting that close to them.

[aquaticrush]

It really is scary. But people surprise you, and you really will turn out alright if you have friends.

[promisedknight]

I'd like to believe that. Maybe someday.

[aquaticrush]

I hope things turn out well for you.
