>Nod. "No, it's probably not you. We'll manage."

> "Okay."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I suppose it's not a terribly romantic second outing, but I hope you won't mind."

[Neovereign]

>"I suppose it's not a terribly romantic second outing, but I hope you won't mind."

> "It makes other outings possible, if things go well."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Smile. "I suppose that's not wrong."

[Neovereign]

>Smile. "I suppose that's not wrong."

> Meiling smiles as well.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Do you think they would mind if I stayed her for supper?"

[Neovereign]

>"Do you think they would mind if I stayed her for supper?"

> Meiling shrugs.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I suppose we'll find out, if you don't mind inviting me as a guest."

[Neovereign]

>"I suppose we'll find out, if you don't mind inviting me as a guest."

> "Maybe they'd still be in a good mood, like when we had our time away, and it was more than expected..."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh right, that...
>Sinking feeling.
>"...One hopes."

[Neovereign]

>Oh right, that...
>Sinking feeling.
>"...One hopes."

> "Sakuya seemed supportive~"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Did she? I couldn't tell."

[Neovereign]

>"Did she? I couldn't tell."

> "At least about getting me time off."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's something, isn't it? We'll ask about it next time she's around."

[Neovereign]

>"That's something, isn't it? We'll ask about it next time she's around."

> "Mhm."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>We'll just let her cuddle up with us and enjoy the time passing for now. If she has more to say, she can get to it when she feels like.

[Neovereign]

>We'll just let her cuddle up with us and enjoy the time passing for now. If she has more to say, she can get to it when she feels like.

> You enjoy the situation quietly with Meiling...
> "I might be able to take some time away from sleeping... Or another activity..."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Is that so? What've you got in mind?"

[Neovereign]

>"Is that so? What've you got in mind?"

> "Well, you've helped me grow a bit, literally and with what ways I can use my magic. It might be fine to pass up a bit of time I could use in something else, for you. You're not always gonna be around here though, so it could be something like asking for time off or even trying to negotiate a different schedule without interrupting actual work."

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"I wouldn't mind just about any of those things. I've...been considering returning home, and I admit, I wouldn't mind the company..."

[Neovereign]

>Nod.
>"I wouldn't mind just about any of those things. I've...been considering returning home, and I admit, I wouldn't mind the company..."

> "You mean your old home?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Just so."

[Neovereign]

>"Just so."

> "Oh..."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle. "Reconsidering the idea now? I wouldn't blame you."

[Neovereign]

>Chuckle. "Reconsidering the idea now? I wouldn't blame you."

> "Was it great back home?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Was it?

[Neovereign]

>Was it?

> It was... less than great, compared to here... But it wasn't bad...
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I wouldn't recommend it, Gensokyo is so much nicer. But it wasn't bad, exactly."

[Neovereign]

>"I wouldn't recommend it, Gensokyo is so much nicer. But it wasn't bad, exactly."

> "Am I included as a reason it's nicer yet?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Without question."
