[he's seen that play out - the way that crooked priests will want after the power of false gods, the way that idolatry can corrupt people

Best friends should only want for each other's company.

You must really not have a lot of best friends if you're this quick to wear the crown. [ she says idly. like she's ever really had anybody she could call a best friend, herself. but - hey, she's still wearing the bracelet, and she hasn't run away yet. ]
You're not the worst person I could've picked to spend my time with this afternoon. Like, I could be flirting with Tall, Dork and Handsome, and here I am, spilling my tender guts all over you.
i was gonna go to bed but i had to end soo-won's life [1/3]
[he's not even sure who she's referring to - but it would seem the mention of courtship (it's not formal courtship you old fool) in any form is enough to embarrass him, making his cheeks turn red as he holds his hands up]
Eh - I enjoy your company but I don't mean to keep you from anything either!
[IF SHE HAS FLIRTING SHE WANTS TO BE DOING AND HE CAN BE EXCUSING HIMSELF SWIFTLY
he genuinely looks guilty for stealing her time it's stupid he's embarrassed]

-- Hah! Hahah! No, no, stop. [ she says, laughing, utterly delighted. ] Oh, your face.
I don't go anywhere I don't want to be, boo. If you were actually keeping me from anything, I wouldn't be here.
