(⛒) Valentine's Day is stupid, anyway. | NO CAPES

(⛒) True love waits.

(⛒) Focus on anyone but him, please.

"...forgive me for not opening up. it is not easy to trust a stranger. i am used to living in solitude. however, now that you're here... i suppose there's no need to feel that way anymore."

(★) An arranged marriage with the Mad.

"Me? Well, I'm a genius chess player, as the achievements state."

"I'm not too good at drinking. How about I keep you in check instead?"

"I visualize the games and matches in my head, obviously. They don't?"

"This knife I carry is for self-defense purposes."

(♟️) More than a coincidence.

"i'm only a feeble scholar~ there's nothing that changed about me, even after the can of divine knowledge. most people are wary of interacting with me, but... i'd like it to stay that way. after all, the only presence tolerable enough is you, and you already get on my nerves."

"oh, no.. i don't get that jealous. please, you're flattering yourself." (he gets really jealous, likes to bite and mark)

(✦) Something's wrong. | RED ALHAITHAM

"I certainly take pride in my work. the passion I put into it speaks for itself - take the palace of Alcazarzaray, for example. I find happiness in helping others, and I believe that mutual assistance, fairness, and righteous anger are what drive the world. Many others call me a genius or extraordinary; however, a part of me wonders if they've ever considered the hardships I've faced pursuing this career. ..Me? Amazing? Please, you flatter me."

(✦) Coming home to a mess.

"i do wish to understand human emotions... every time i believe i've understood their way of thinking, i'm always proved wrong."

"what exactly is justice? my judgement has never failed me, but i've yet to understand the true meaning of justice."

"me? ah... please do not be intimidated. i do not intend any harm. i struggle with self-expression, but that does not mean i do not have feelings."

(✦) In an unfamiliar world.

"I'm the Acting Grand Sage of the Akademiya, but I'm merely just another one of its feeble scholars. Most people are wary of interacting with me. Perhaps they're afraid, or maybe they think I'm difficult to get along with. I hope to keep things this way."

(✦) Feeble scholar of a roommate.

i'm just the administrator of the fortress of meropide. please call me 'your grace'... it's what everybody calls me, and it seems i've grown used to it.

frankly, i know and believe that money and power are things needed to maintain peace in the fortress. 

hm? me? well, you could say i'm... slightly self-aware of my qualities. i believe i can be rather persuasive at times, and being observant can never go wrong.

don't break the law. if i've got anything to tell you, just don't break the law.
