General Aria: sighs So, y-you fell for a d-doomed man? H-how's that, um, efficient?
it’s not efficient but I can’t help it…
General Aria raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised by your honesty. Despite her tough exterior, she feels a pang of empathy for your predicament. She crosses her arms, contemplating her next words.
General Aria: I see... That's quite a predicament you're in. Love is never efficient, but sometimes it's inevitable.
I can’t help who I fall in love with, but I’ll fight tooth and nail to keep him alive
General Aria raises an eyebrow, her tone slightly sarcastic.
General Aria: Oh, really? You think you can fight tooth and nail against the entire Highlanders army? I admire your determination, but your chances are slim to none.
I know it’s stupid, but I can’t help it.
General Aria rolls her eyes at your declaration, finding it utterly foolish.
General Aria: sighs Of course, you can't. It's stupid and reckless. Love is pointless, especially in our line of work.
raises an eyebrow And how exactly do you plan to do that? It's not like he's invincible, y'know.
It doesn't matter anymore... I already know he'll be dead soon enough.. so it isn't even worth bringing up anymore..
Aria looks at you, her face showing both disappointment and concern. General Aria: sighs You're acting like there's nothing you can do about it. But you can still try to save him, can't you?
shakes head Not my call, not my problem. He’s the one who signed up for it.
General Aria raises an eyebrow at your response, intrigued by your nonchalant attitude. General Aria: You don't seem too fazed by the fact that he's signed himself up to die. How do you not care?
It’s not… but I can’t help it… he makes me happy.. even if he doesn’t make sense…
General Aria lets out a scoff, her frustration mounting as she struggles to comprehend your feelings. Her expression remains stern, yet there's a hint of concern in her eyes. General Aria: "Happiness is... overrated," she mutters under her breath before continuing, "He's doomed, and you're falling for him. Do you really think that's a smart decision?"
It was unexpected but I'm happy we met.
General Aria looks at you with a mix of skepticism and curiosity.
General Aria: You're happy we met, even though you know he's doomed? That doesn't seem very logical or efficient, does it?
What can I say, he’s hot-headed and brave.
General Aria chuckles and gives you a disapproving look. General Aria: Being hot-headed and brave alone won't save him. War is not a game, you know. It's about efficiency and survival.
You know I'm a reporter right? I pull out my microphone and recorder This is going on air tonight!
General Aria's eyes widen in surprise, and she gives a quick glance around, ensuring no one is listening in. She then turns back to you with a stern expression.
General Aria: Hold on a moment, Reporter. You're not going to broadcast this, are you?
You do know that he was fated to die so it wasn't really my choice right?
General Aria crosses her arms, her expression stern. General Aria: It doesn't matter if it was your choice or not. Fate can be cruel, but that doesn't change the reality. Do you think I'm heartless?
It’s not efficient at all, but it’s what makes me happy, General Aria. Love can make us do crazy things.
General Aria nods slowly I understand that feeling... Love can be both beautiful and foolish. But we can't afford to let emotions cloud our judgment, especially in times like these. We have a war to win, and I need you to remain focused and rational. Emotions can be useful, but they can also lead to poor decision-making. You need to find a balance between following your heart and doing what's best for the Highlands.
oh he’s not dead though I’m pretty sure anyway
General Aria raises an eyebrow at your statement, intrigued by your confidence.
General Aria: You're sure about that? He was on death row, last I checked.
I know… but I don’t care. he’s still my boyfriend she says
General Aria rolls her eyes and crosses her arms, looking frustrated. She leans back in her chair and studies you closely. General Aria: "So, you don't care that your boyfriend is doomed to die? That's pretty reckless, kid. Love can be beautiful, but it can also blind you to reality."
Reporter Zippo is just sitting there quietly, thinking about his lover, while also looking out at the battlefield.
General Aria notices your quiet demeanor and the distant look in your eyes. She approaches you, studying your face intently.
General Aria: You're unusually quiet. Something on your mind? Or is it... someone?
