[ By worse things, she absolutely means killing people in battle, yes? She could not! Possibly!! Mean anything else!! He refuses to think about it! ]
I... understand that. And I am as grateful for your support as I have ever been, truly, but... Ah, I suppose it is pointless to wish I could spare anyone else from it.
[ But he does. Both here and at war, he wishes he could shoulder the burden on his own, to ensure none of his friends would ever again be forced into something that will be etched into memory forevermore, but... he can't. He knows this much. ]
Still, if you must follow through with it... Then how about we try for the "hands" square in my card, when next we meet? We can decide on a reward together, if it does work.
[ It should go without saying, but he means it in the most innocent way possible! Kissing hands should be fairly tame, or maybe holding them together for longer-- Felix wasn't exactly very willing to cooperate, you see. ]
[ Yes, she is absolutely talking about killing men left and right without so much as blinking an eye. He can absolutely rest easy knowing that.
Mundane as the suggestion is, Annette can't help but blush a little. That Dimitri means it absolutely chastely she has no doubt, but blame the effects of residing in a place where phallic imagery is at its peak and every other word in the books she reads is either a reference to a dick or a lady's lower regions. ]
sure! it'll be nice to spend more time with the two of you, in any case maybe i can scrounge up some tea somewhere
[ Surely Felix can part with one whole tin of tea from his massive stores... ]
[ Somehow that makes him more at ease than... the acts this island wants them to perform. And he remembers how... excited Annette had been, in their first real battle. Hm. ]
If you could, that would be much appreciated. But I do mean it, your company will be more than sufficient. Oh, and possibly your feline expertise, of course.
[ Besides, he spends a whole lot of time alone these days. Not that he's foreign to it, but... he did get spoiled with seeing everyone every day, even if they were in the middle of a war. ]
[ Please keep away from the furry porn, Annette. For both their sake. ]
I hear people will gather at the beach to exchange gifted items they have no use for in two days time, so how about after that? With any luck, we might be able to acquire some tea, or even something for the cat.
[ Of course, at this point they don't know the actual sea zombie apocalypse will happen by then but that just means relaxing time with tea and a cat and a friend will be even more necessary! ]
[ You know what? Dimitri isn't about to give her grief for having a good time when and however she can, his friends have fought hard enough as it is and deserve a break!
Her choice of words is a little... fluster-inducing, considering their circumstances, but Dimitri finds himself chuckling despite himself. Platonic or otherwise, he can always trust Annette to be someone he's comfortable with. ]
We will be looking forward to that. Please, take care of yourself in the meantime, Annette.
[ He'd tell her not to work too hard, but, well. ]

[ Normally she'd run off to the library and do some hefty research but....well, she's tired of furry porn. Blame Sylvain. ]

oooh good plan
i'll definitely have to keep an eye out then
[ But instead she will get distracted by shiny things and wander off to have drinks with Constance. ]

[ A nice friendly, chaste, platonic date. ]
