Juzo?

[He says with emphasis, which is likely the last thing Marianne wants to hear. However, should she look at Sholmes, there is no trace of anything upset on his features. His brows are raised high, but a smile cracks anew on his features.]

Truly?

[sereneadherent]

[Marianne still winces and shrinks into herself, glancing up at him with no small amount of dread.

When she sees that he's smiling, she relaxes. But only a little.]

Um. Yes. I'm sorry.

[retroductions]

[And here, he laughs.]

Sorry? Whatever for? I fell for the man, after all. It would only make sense that someone else would, too, given who he is.

[Gears turning, turning.]

Oh, I suppose you think I would be jealous.

[sereneadherent]

[Meek nod.]

Juzo said that you had said it wouldn't be an issue, but I was still worried you would be.

[retroductions]

No, no. I assure you, I could not be farther from believing it to be an issue. Juzo already told me that he would like to explore his feelings for others here in this prison well before today. I am only glad to learn that one is a dear friend and teammate of mine.

[Marianne doesn't answer right away, too touched to find words. What has she done to deserve this kind of goodness in her life?]

Thank you. That means... it means a lot to me. Both that you're happy, and that you consider me a dear friend. That feeling is mutual.

[Being kind and good herself, no doubt!]

You are a teammate, after all. As our strings have declared, you are as good as family at this point. So fret now, Ms Marianne; I am glad you told me simply so I can be happy for you.
