Cheria, umm... I was wondering if you'd like to join me for dinner tonight.

[Filtered to Pascal, Sophie, Richard, and Isamu | 40% unhackable]

Could you guys give me some help? I really want to make tonight special for Cheria and I. [You should be happy, Richard! He's finally doing something!]

[And now that those are out of the way, he takes care to propose one last question, this one publicly.]

What are things you usually do for people you care about? I mean... to show them that you really care about them? I guess I'm not really that good at expressing that, so... I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks.

I suppose it would depend on who the friend is, wouldn't it?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

Ah, w-well... [He hesitates a bit. It's still so embarrassing for him. He never thought he'd be this far.]

...It's Cheria.

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[At least it's someone she remotely knows, this makes things a little easier now.]

Hm... The last I saw her, it was at a tea party. She seemed to enjoy herself, if that's any help?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

A tea party... [Hmm... Can he do anything with that?]

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

Is that too vague a suggestion? [Maybe Asbel knew more about them than she did, but it was rather nice.]

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

...Well... If it was you going on a date with someone, what would you want to do? [Asbel knows there are at least some similarities between Tear and Cheria (or at least he perceives them as similarities), so maybe, just maybe, he might be able to figure out something from her.]

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

... What would I want to do? [That was certainly an unusual way to go about figuring this out in her opinion, but if it would help, what harm was there to it?]

I suppose... I would want it to be just myself and the other person, something we both enjoy doing, more meaningful.

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

[Just the two of them, alone, together? Well... it certainly helps.]

Like what?

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[... Asbel you're asking for oddly specific things.]

Perhaps preparing a meal, or practicing battle together? You grew up together, what was it you two did?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

...Not much. We were too busy going around trying to protect the world to really have time between the two of us. And when we weren't doing that, well... ...I had to lead Lhant, and Cheria was involved in her relief work.

...Before that, we were kids.

[seleniahymn]

Do you mean to say you and your companions weren't together for some time? [That was what it sounded like, at least.]
