[ When she grips onto his clothes, Masamune opens his eye to peek at her. He understands her concerns, of course, but he also would cause such chaos if they transferred permanently without him that he finds it unlikely they would be bold enough to try and actually do so.
Still... it's not as if a temporary reassignment isn't a concern of his, either. The thing is, if she is having concerns he can't express any of his own as it will only worsen her own. ]
No, they won't do that. I won't let them.
And it has nothing to do with you being unfit here, you just have something specific about you that they need for this other one. You're considered important, I promise.
[Reaching up with the same arm she's clinging to fabric of, he brings his hand onto her head in a small pat. ]
[That was admittedly part of the problem. If it were something that relied on her skills as a healer, perhaps, or some sort of research... then she could believe it was her specific skill set that was needed, and that is why she had been called. But this-]
I am to organize the library in Oska.
[Could not anyone with a decent head on their shoulders do that? Now, when she had recently failed horribly at a mission task, it was hard not to think there was some sort of ulterior motive behind it.]
'An accident'...? [ Masamune brings a hand up to his face and rubs the palm of it in his good eye to try and get the tiredness out of his system.
What kind of accident does a team cause in a library? [ he's trying to image an accident that would require reorganization... surely it can't be that bad? He still doesn't think it's punishment for her, but he will admit it does sound strange... ]
[As Masamune gave more signs of perhaps actually waking up, Sieglinde shifts under the covers, wriggling weakly (tiredly) until she gets on her stomach and can reach for the side table to snag his eyepatch, offering it wordlessly.
What kind of accident, though...]
The message said that Team Squirrel Fucker knocked over several shelves.
[A name Sieglinde can say with a completely straight face. ... not out of maturity, she just... hasn't had anyone use the word "fuck" around her as a verb yet, thinking it a mere expletive.]
[ suddenly he's up and sitting straight, already reaching around for clothes suitable to go out in public with. ] what do they think this is!? Letting my innocent little sister clean up after a bunch of lewd—
[ Wait no what if she doesn't know what this is, she's sqting this way too seriously. Don't make it worse, Masamune, by accidentally confusing her into thinking this is some thirst-related opportunities.
Quick, think fast to cover yourself. ]
Aren't you a little short for them to be giving you manual labor like that..?
[ yes, make it sound like she's not even qualified for mundane work she is fretting is punishment for being unsuited for the current job. Excellent, Masamune—except not, but there's no turning back now. If he's lucky she won't take it insultingly, if he's not he'll have to apologize and explain because he actually didn't mean it that way--
But this sounds like q bunch of dirty teenage punks trashed a place and now they're sending Sieglinde into the jaws of waiting creepy stupid males to clean up their mess and show them some class And manners. His princess is not a babysitter for dumb stupid squirrel lovers in the totally wrong way!!! ]
[Completely and obviously confused, it's all Sieglinde can do to blink and drag herself up into a sit, still holding his eyepatch in a daze. Why was he getting dressed so fast- Should she get changed? ... now that she thought about it, she had been wearing the same dress for... a few days... but wait-]
I am hardly in innocent any longer...
[After all, she had shared a bed with Masamune more than once now, which was technically scandalous enough, let alone the several kisses she has now experienced. (Four.)
She also thought they planned to have her simply oversee the organization of the shelves not manual labor but. First things first.]]
[ Well, in her defense, four kisses could be a lot especially over the period of time she has received them. As far as bed sharing... ok yeah so he hasn't really cared to stop it and is super 'whatever' about sharing the bed with her. ( ...And her dog. And his dog. And Yukimura's fox...)
Still, he pauses in his actions, arms through sleeves and just about to put his head through the neck hole of the shirt and gives her A Look. ]
No, huh.
[ here we go again, you'd think between the two of them one of them would have gotten used to these claims now to either not say them or not react to them.
[Even if it was "here we go again"... it was far better than thinking about what had been consuming her mind before. Even if it's a bit hard to look as poised and dignified when speaking of such adult matters when she... hasn't really slept in three days. Or bathed properly. Or eaten.]
I have been intimidate with two different men now- and that is not even to speak of your scandalous advances.
[Two whole men. So one was Gil, when he had lost age, and he was gone, and one was Achilles when he had lost age, and she could hardly pursue him now, (considering his relationship with Olivia, not his age), but it still counted.
And she definitely wasn't going to let that one time go ever, adopted siblings or no.]
[ Good thing Masamune doesn't know about Achilles or Olivia would hold a grudge against him forever for strangling her boyfriend thing in front of her...
As for Gilgamesh, too far away or something like that. He'll punt the action figure out the window later to feel slightly better about it. ]
Ha... Well, that's more than I've been with, I guess.
[ yes he doesn't really count any of his man flings as like... whole men?! That sounds weird.
Scandalous advances, geez. This is why you should never tease people when you know about a weakness, he guesses. ]
[Its rather up in the air if she actually means she certainly hopes he has been with more men than her or just... had more bed partners in general. As much as she considered herself somewhat unbound by the societal prisons some women seemed to live in when it came to ideas of monogamy and propriety, she still thought it more fitting the elder and male Masamune be more accomplished at such things.
Besides, who was she supposed to ask for advice about things??? Haise and Olivia only talked about love and faithfulness and how special things ought be. Not concrete recommendations and not very helpful.]
D- don't they just dislike squirrels? Perhaps a planet they were sent to had mutated ones or some such...
[ oh man, Kojuro and Motochika are probably going to have words over this but... this live or hate squirrel issue needs to be clarified. It's important. ]
No no. I'm pretty sure there's no comma in that team name, which makes it mean the total opposite.
[The total opposite of "dislike" would be "like"... "total" would push it to "love"...
The gears turning is quite a visible process for Sieglinde when she's not actively taking steps to speak as a witch or appear in charge, and she falls silent for a moment, brow furrowing as she worked through the implication.
[ his response is pretty deadpan. (he's just not sure if her putting it like that makes it sound slightly less fucked up or more fucked up, yet, and— ]
[This puts... an entirely different spin on things. One perhaps that was even for the best, in some weird way, because at least now she was thinking of these such things rather than wallowing in the mood she'd been in.]
Is that why they selected me? Because I am most capable of taming their perverse fetishes?
