what she is confused about?

just confused about... stuff.

can he-- No, he could give some insight if she wanted him to. Two of them could probably figure something out better than one.

shocked he's even offering...

they have to get past their differences if they want to live in peace, right?

would like to talk with him about it then, she can't talk to Aloys about it.

willing to listen then. Have at him.

frowns a bit, she didn't know where to start.

makes them some cocoa as she thinks of a place to start.

watches him as she thought about it. "Have you ever... had liked someone?"

pauses in mixing the cocoa. "...Like someone? Romantically?"

nods a bit as she considered that thought. "Yeah."

a little. "Sort of...maybe."

sighs a bit, she knew this wasn't going to help much. "Me either."

brings the cocoa over. "If nothing else, I can help rationalize though?"

shrugs a bit as she sighed. "Maybe."

slides her a cup. "What is on your mind?"

takes it with a thanks. "I don't know what to think... about Lukas."

tilts his head, looking thoughtful. "What to think...? You like him though, right?"

shrugs a bit, "I... enough to sleep with him I suppose."

freezes. W........................ ".............."

looks up at him, "...."

so red he can't look at her.

frowns a bit when she realizes why. "Ah... Sorry."

shakes his head. "If you...slept with him. Doesn't that mean you love him?"

pauses as she thinks about that. "I... I don't know."

quiet for a moment. "What makes you unsure?"

takes a sip of her cocoa. "I... don't want to get to attached."

looks down at his own. He knew that reasoning. "...I guess...some times, attachments are unavoidable. Nothing lasts forever. But." He looks_

up. "You chance it for happiness right?" They took a gamble with Liechtenstein, knowing there was a chance she would leave. But they were_

close to theirs. Why should Lukas be any different if Mitzi loved him?

nods a bit as she looked down. "Yeah... I guess... I'm worried about Liechtenstein as well..."

quiet at that. "I think he'll understand."

frowns as she thought about that, "I'm not sure..."

sips his cocoa. "Why?"

takes a sip of her's. "I told him and he got all...hmm... I'm not sure what the word for it is."

looks up, slightly worried. "All...?"

shrugs, "I'm not sure what it was... annoyed?"

this over for a moment. "I think...wouldn't that be natural? I don't...know. But, we..." He furrows his brows. It was hard giving her advice

since he would have to follow it in this sort of situation. "Are so close to Liechtenstein that they might...not want to sharE?"

nods with that, "I know... I would feel the same way... I wouldn't let anyone near him in that sense."

nods knowingly. "..." He didn't want to admit that Liechtenstein had to grow up too.

knew that, but she really didn't want him to grow up.

also didn't want her to grow up.

looks up at him again. "Have you ever thought of your Liechtenstein in... any other way?"

stares at her for a moment, unsure of what she is implying. "Huh?"

shrugs a bit, "just out curiosity have you ever thought of her as more than a sister?"

pauses and shakes his head. "I have no reason to think of her as anything else."

nods with that, she felt the same about Aloys. "What's... her name?"

sighs softly. "Lili."

smiles a bit, "that's a pretty name."

nods. "She is very pretty." He pulls a picture out of his wallet to slide over to her.

carefully picked it up and took a look, nodding. "She really is. She looks kind of like you."

pockets it. "She cut her hair to copy me."

blinks a bit at that, "sounds like someone else I know."
