Hey, all - I see there's some new faces. I'm Shiro, longtime resident here.

[He's seated on a sofa - well, seated is probably the wrong word. He's propped up by a lot of soft things, thanks to being a Warmblood this month.]

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer - usually I'm on the Waker team, but ah, didn't get a chance this time around.

[Because of feeling like speaking, like moving, is too much effort.]

Anyway, I had a question. I'm pretty good in a fight, usually prefer hand-to-hand. [He is. Hilarious.] Weapons are a little more rusty, and this thing...

[He turns the omni to face a sword propped against the couch.] ... showed up at our house yesterday. And I could use a few pointers in swinging it.

I guess the only thing we really can do in this situation is ... wait. See if someone else decides they want to risk it.

Or put them away somewhere they won't be found again.

[Which sounds... extreme, when he thinks about it. Like they're dealing with toxic waste. Or a cursed object.]

[But in this case, these dice may very well be cursed.]

I'm definitely going to do the latter for now. But in a more temporary way.

[ So maybe not never found again, but.. at least not found again for a little while? At least until she's sure of what they do, or until she gets desperate enough to stop caring about the consequences of their usage. ]

Because I don't trust Ruby to mistake them in an impulsive mood for regular dice and accidentally kill herself trying to play a board game. [ Got to make sure not just anyone can grab them. ]

... Right.

[He grimaces. A lot.]

I swear, sometimes I forget she's... like that. Glad she's got you to keep her balanced.

[ .. Ange pauses, and then, deciding she's just a little too embarrassed to be that public about it, quickly switches the feed over to private. ]

That's her charm.

[ She's definitely smiling. Like a lovestruck idiot - or, well, in Ange's own kind of muted way, but still. ]

Don't you think so too?

[This is... so sweet. This is heartwarming. He's so happy for them, in this moment.]

[It really is great, seeing people come together like this. Even here.]

I don't know if I'm one to talk about charming impulsiveness. I'm usually the one who's in that boat.

Are you saying that I should be asking your special someone that instead?

[ At least being sappy around Shiro doesn't feel so bad - just because of the way he reacts. It makes the tsundere in Ange a little less likely to come out.

Hence why she can instead just answer like this, still with that smile on her face, rather than getting all flustered. ]

[Oh no, he can't help it. He starts laughing. His ribs hurt, but he's still laughing.]

I never thought I'd hear you say that.

But - yeah. You probably should.

Hey, I too can be..

[ ...

What's the word even for 'someone who openly jokes and talks about their feelings and love stuff'? How do you even describe that?? Someone help this poor socially awkward girl. ]

.. relaxed! [ Nailed it. Obviously. An amazing job. ]

[Oh no. He's laughing - and thankfully it's still the Shiro-Brand Laugh.]

I usually go with 'sappy', if that helps.

Don't you dare mention the s-word in my presence, Shiro!

[ There we go. Now that's the good old Ange, freaking out like a cat that's just been told that it's time to take a bath.

At least it's clearly just her being flustered, rather than angry. ]

[Oh, he is trying so hard not to laugh even harder.]

Okay okay. How about... romantic?

Does that work.

...

[ Ange sighs.

It's the kind of sigh that makes it sound like her very soul is leaving her body along with the sigh. ]

I guess I'll have to live with that. [ It'd be pretty crappy if she couldn't at least call her relationship with Ruby romantic, after all.. ]

As long as you don't call me or anything about me and Ruby romantic in front of other people. I won't survive that.

Ange, it's me.

[Said with an amused little note in his voice.]

When have I tried to purposefully embarrass you?

[Other people, sure. Like his teammates. Or the kids they've picked up. But that's different. He knows that's okay. Ange's not comfortable with it, so ... it won't happen.]

I know you won't.

[ .. mostly. Maybe he might make a tiny tease, but Shiro is definitely on the safer side of the embarrassment spectrum Ange's friends fall on. ]

But that doesn't mean other people won't embarrass me upon hearing that kind of stuff. [ It's a dangerous world out there, Shiro!! Please!! ]

Okay. Okay, I'll keep it to myself. Only me, my omen... and uh.

My husband - [Did he just blush a little? He totally did. And the only reason he brings it up at all is the handprint showing on his face. The mental link between them these days. Hard to hide anything.] - will know.

But he won't care.
