Don't applaud when I'm playing it down, man, that's just sad. [ he sounds exasperated but amused, at least ] Where were you to hype me up when I was tellin' everybody I was gonna be the next master?
but regardless the more jokes come, the more lune just laughs as they walk along]
For what reason would I do that?
Had we not just spoken on the importance of giving others a chance? Since you have been kind enough to give me one, it is only fitting that I return the gesture.
[ this is a very charming walk alongside the river and i definitely remember that was the setting for this convo, which is why i will only now mention lea looking at it ]
Who knows? People can be complicated. You coulda been one of those people who doesn't like having friends!

[lune doesn't know what a gummiphone is but it doesn't sound like a weapon?]
But I suppose learning any new skill might take some practice. Are you better with it now, when it is in your possession?

[you can probably always assume that lune is having tea
but regardless, they are still entirely amused]
The next time you boast, I will be there when you call.
[axelea's one lune cheering squad]

[ yeah saying stuff like that is fine but don't call him nice. this is it. this is the Pinnacle of axelea logic ]

In that case, I am certain that you will always be able to find a supportive friend in myself, if you would allow it.
no subject
It'd be weird if I didn't allow it. I sorta just asked.
no subject
but they laugh anyway, clearly pleased]
Then I am pleased to receive your friendship, Lea.
no subject
Good. Wouldn't want it to be some kinda awkward affair where I offer and you gotta respectfully decline.

... I was certainly well-loved wherever I was brought.
But I believe the connections that I make now, where I am able to express my own wishes, are to be cherished in a different way.
no subject
[ he sounds like he means that, too. ]
But it still sounds kinda sad to me, if you're only able to express your own wants now.
no subject
I cannot say that I was sad at the time, only that I am grateful now.
