But I'd appreciate it if you could look after her - I'll be helping as well, of course, but I think it would take multiple hands to truly get her to listen.
But no - I understand. You speak about each other rather familiarly, so I can't say I'm particularly surprised. Even still... she is Jeanne to me, at her request, and I hope to remain at her side as a friend when I can.
[hmmmm! he nods along with that, as if taking in the new information and adapting to match]
So would you say that you know how you would act in certain situations, and you'll move to do so without hesitation because you've had that much time to solidify your perspective?

I'm resting, I'm resting.

no subject
[Tilting his head]
Are you a friend of hers?
no subject
Yes - I believe so. We get along well.
[he's definitely fond of her]
no subject
I shall keep note of it, then.
[Chiron what does that even mean]
no subject
Are you certain I'm not in trouble?
no subject
[What does that mean]
no subject
Chiron...?!
no subject
Ah, calm yourself. I only meant to tease you.
I consider Ruler a coworker of mine. You'll have to forgive my indulgence.
no subject
he sighs a little bit at that - ah, the teasing]
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm an easy target...
[he is]
But no - I understand. You speak about each other rather familiarly, so I can't say I'm particularly surprised. Even still... she is Jeanne to me, at her request, and I hope to remain at her side as a friend when I can.
no subject
[She's a grown woman who can do what she wants, and perhaps deep down, Chiron is glad to see her making friends]
I only teased because it is rare for someone to so boldly state their affiliation with her, as if they have a right to be there.
no subject
So she'd told me - it has something to do with her legacy, yes? Same as yours? Where your names carry along with them more weight and expectation.
[but! soo-won's from medieval fantasy korea so]
But I like getting to know you here - as Chiron and Jeanne, the people in front of me rather than the grandeur.
no subject
[... Though the time for that seems to have passed. In any case, neither he nor Jeanne can take it back now.
However he does make another rather amused noise at that]
You think you know me well, then?
no subject
[because they sure did backstory swap! like really soon after meeting! wow!]
... but I think that I've gotten familiar with your character.
Unless there are very large parts of yourself that you deem worth hiding?
no subject
No, not at all. I see no reason to hide myself beyond what is necessary.
[And at least in terms of personality, there's no that drive, apparently.]
I'm certain you have the basics down, if nothing else.
no subject
but soo-won just laughs]
I'm pretty sure of that too - but I hope that I continue to be familiar with the intricacies the longer that we know each other.
You've lived a long time, after all. I'm sure your worldview is nuanced to match.
no subject
[He wonders about that]
I cannot say if it is nuanced -- more that I am very set in my ways because I have lived for many centuries, and thus know myself very well.
no subject
So would you say that you know how you would act in certain situations, and you'll move to do so without hesitation because you've had that much time to solidify your perspective?
no subject
Very little can surprise me at this point.
