”You doing alright there, Azawaza?” Fenrir asks, still holding Azalabulia's hand as they walk.
She's just as giggly and smile-y as she was when she first managed to stand up.
”You're going to make it extremely obvious what happened… though everybody is probably already suspecting it anyways. To be honest, they – yeah, they definitely already know. Don't be surprised if Olly and Serra decide to tease you.”
”Ehehe,” Azalabulia giggles, still not entirely there.
”You're seriously out of it, aren't you?”
”Ehehe…”
”Fenrir to Azalabulia. Can you hear me? Over.”
”Explosions…”
”Wait, how is that even relevant to this right now, and why are you bringing up explosions when I try getting feedback from you? You know that any base of operations getting 'explosions' back when they ask if you're alright is going to worry them, right?”
”Ehe…”
”You're not a loli magician who can only cast one explosion spell per day before becoming useless. You're Azawaza the dark and awesome and the wielder of Bahamut's flame and all of that, remember? That doesn't sound like somebody who giggles and mumbles to herself.”
”I'm just happy… not useless.”
Hearing her suddenly admit to just being happy actually manages to make Fenrir blush a little bit. Thankfully, though, Azalabulia is still too out of it to notice him blushing. ”You're surprising, Azawaza.”
”H-how so?” she asks, and now she is the one who is blushing.
”Just… you know. I didn't think I'd need to blindfold—”
”Pl-please don't mention that…”
”Alright. Well, other than that, I didn't think that you'd basically melt from pleas—”
”Please don't mention that either!”
”… alright. Well, you're also surprising in how you're actually pretty feminine when you're not being a chuuni.”
”I – of course I'm feminine! I was never not feminine!”
”Alright, alright. You're right. You're always feminine. So, aside from all of those, you're,” Fenrir pauses. He wants to say that she's much more childish than he would have thought she'd be given how edgy she likes to be when roleplaying… but then again, roleplaying how she does could be seen as childish all on its own. Then there is the fact that she's a teacher. If she's a teacher, shouldn't she be – well, be less childish?
”I'm surprised you're not saying you're surprised I'm so childish…”
”Then this night is just full of surprises, because I'm surprised that you would be surprised that I'm not saying I'm surprised that you're childish.”
”Y-you lost me.”
”I – I mean, I was thinking about it, but I figured it'd probably be best not to say. Wouldn't a woman be upset if she gets called childish?”
”I don't know… I mean, it's true. I am childish. That's why I love being Azalabulia and why I love teaching. Being childish is fun. An-and I think it's kind of a requirement for being a teacher… kind of.”
