Can you hear them?

I am Lucie Renault of the Valkyrie project...that is all you need to know.

[nightengalerenault]

I'd say you could become quite the social person! At least with people who have similar tastes as you do! By that I man the books you read. If I remember correctly, Cassie Lockheart also is a bookworm! You could try having a conversation about books you like with her! Doesn't hurt trying, does it?

“Cassie and I have talked about books more than I would have previously cared for. In fact, she is why I spend so much of my free time reading - her recommendations always peak my interest. Though in all honesty I can find social interaction tiresome at times...call me a grumpy guss but I enjoy my space. Especially from the Zombie...”

[nightengalerenault]

So... is there any particular reason as to why you don't really interact with your sisters much? Is it due to their personalities or is it due to a sort of lack of exposure to the outside world for them? (Excluding Cassandra, I guess.) Or didn't you really feel the need to interact with anyone?

Again her gaze slowly glanced up form her book before returning to the pages. Lucie’s words forming slowly and deliberately like the thought had never once occurred to her till that very moment.

“My sisters can be a bit...much - at times. As can everyone else.” Another glance, this time shorter. “I seldom forget that humans are social creatures...I may want to improve myself in that field at a later time.”

[nightengalerenault]

My apologies if this sounds strange but you are a very intriguing individual! Since your own past seems very similar to Chiffon's. Also to knock down two birds with one stone, how about doing something sisterly with Windy May perhaps? Or perhaps Satellizer, even if it sounds a little strange.

It doesn’t seem like the Valkyrie is listening, more engorged in a book she has read a thousand times. But just as you begin to think you aren’t going to get an answer-

“Windy can be loud...but I do find her company comforting.” Lucie’s eyes draw up to you as she sits back in her chair at the library table - a large stack of books in front of her.

“As for the El Bridget girl I would rather not. She seems more focused upon trying to spend time with her Limiter...trying and failing. ...We are not on very good terms either so I think I will pass.” Strangely she is being very open with her answers.

        Perhaps its her way of thanking you.

[nightengalerenault]

So maybe not Cassandra but what about Teslad, if I may ask? She seems to be someone you can be with and do stuff with despite preferring to be mute seemingly all the time (not that it's a bad thing.)

“I do not think Teslad is capable of ‘normal’ things. Explaining the functions of a book were hard enough, braiding hair may lead to her braiding fragments of my skull instead.

Understand I am not saying my older sister is stupid. More to say, she is heavy handed - sometimes even slow to understand.”

[nightengalerenault]

Have you ever talked to Cassandra or done anything sisterly(?) with her? Like, braid her hair or go out shopping with her?

“Good luck trying to convince her to part from Kazuya’s side. My sister guards him like a wolf mother. As for your question: no, I have not.”

[nightengalerenault]

Anyone home? Yoohoo...?

[notasqueezetoy]

“But what IF the brain is a muscle.”

[nightengalerenault]

“Not this again...”

[nightengalerenault]

Do you feel that there is a compelling reason for people to go out of their way to keep minors from looking at pornography? It seems like no matter what people do, kids are going to access porn if they really want it, and there’s really not much we can do about it.

“I have always felt that such a decision can lay within someone upbringing. To most, pornography is viewed as an unclean and very adult thing. Something that within all reason children should never hear uttered let alone given access to. A teenage girl or boy however I can understand some being able to view such material...it is about that time we have ‘urges’ that we don’t fully understand.

But like you say they will get access to it someway, somehow, somewhere. But ultimately I think there is more than a good reason to keep such material from minors - and there should be measures parents can put in place to block out such material. But again I stress that some will have others views on it which could boil down to their own upbringing or even how their offspring have grown up.“

There is a long pause before she adds.

“You really aren’t trying to argue that just letting any child of any age access porn is a good thing are you?” Lucie doesn’t even look up from her book, yet her tone is clear. She is indefinitely judging you...wither it is harshly seems to balance on what you will say next.

[nightengalerenault]

Would you rather let Kazuya be with Rana or Satellizer?

“...Either or. Whatever Kazuya decides is his decision and his alone...I won’t sway him towards either or.”

[nightengalerenault]

Never mind, you're too pretty to be pinched T_T

“........?”

[nightengalerenault]

Pleeeaaase? You're so cute~ （＞﹏＜）

“.... ~” Turning side on Lucie relents, crossing her arms across her chest she gives out a not so enthusiastic “Go on then...”

[nightengalerenault]

Can I pinch your cheek? :3

“No.”

[nightengalerenault]

I like your hair when it's shorter.

“…Thank, you?”

[killatonhammermagic]

“You should cut it short again Sis!”

[nightengalerenault]

“...Why?”

[nightengalerenault]

I like your hair when it's shorter.

“...Thank, you?”

[nightengalerenault]

Did Gengo ever make you and the others do chores around the house?

“Sometimes he did but it wasn’t very often. Father was always fearful of accidentally pushing us too far...strenuous tasks he tended to avoid if needed.”

[nightengalerenault]

I just wanted to poke you 8D

“......?!”

[nightengalerenault]

*pokes your back*

“...What?” Lucie throws, words bouncing off the pages of her book and behind to the other. “...I’m reading so make it quick.”
