[ah - soo-won seems a little surprised at this
but he only gives her hand a gentle squeeze as his expression turns a bit fond, and apologetic]
... it's not in my nature to feel pity for others.
I won't force you to talk about if you don't want to, and I apologize if I brought up something painful - but if you ever want to have someone carry the weight with you, I'm more than willing to listen. Even if it might not be fun or easy.

[ listen... she didn't want to watch two people die. ]
That's nice of you. Although I'm not sure it's the sort of thing you can pick up very quickly... The medics I know worked for a long time. And we haven't even got any ether around here to make things easier.
[ where's the magic :\ ]

Well, I can't disagree with that. Sora's like a little ray of sunshine.
[ he's a good guy, she can tell! she speaks as she properly plates the food for soo-won. ]
Alex, though... I think I might have frightened her when we first met.
[ Fiora brings the plate over to him, along with a fork. It's a pretty simple dish - sauteed veggies with butter and garlic - but it smells excellent, and tastes as good as it smells. She's not kidding about being a chef. ]
Careful, it's piping hot!

[ he really is nice. That's all the more reason she doesn't really want to talk about it. ]
No, it's okay. You don't have to apologize. [ Fiora shakes her head. ] ... I'm enjoying being treated normally by you, you know? Maybe it's selfish of me, but I don't want to say something that would change that.

[he seems to pause for a moment - but it comes with a bit of a smile. with the hand in hers, he gives it a gentle squeeze and the reassurance:]
Nothing could ever change that.
You're Fiora, and that person is the sum of all that's happened to you and I'd like to know it all -
But if what you desire from me is normalcy, I'm still happy to give it.

Oh, that's not it at all. Being a merchant must be fascinating. But a talent like that - you could really use it to help people, I bet.
[ she tilts her head, seeming to consider him. ]
Then again, if you can memorize entire books, you can probably do anything you like. [ a beat; Fiora gives him a wry smile. ] I had no idea you were such a nerd.

Fufu, I'm afraid I've been an avid reader since I was child. Anything that I could get my hands on in my mother's villa, I would read and consume as soon as I could. I'm just a bit out of practice in memorization.
[but well!! here he is!]
I think that everyone has the capacity to help people no matter what they're like or what they do for work, though.

You're right about that. Sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way at all. Merchants are really important, too - we'd be goners without them.
[ that said. Fiora folds her arms, amused. ] In other words, you've got class, beauty, and brains - and probably money, too. Some people really do have it all...

Well...
[ ... ... ... the silence stretches on for longer than it should; Fiora brings a hand to her mouth, brow furrowed. ]
Erm... I can't remember. He must have left the colony when I was younger, I think? But I know that I really liked him. He's like my long-lost prince!
[ but there's a deep sense of unease inside that she can't quite quell. That doesn't sound right... ]
