Happy?

_{[It's a simple enough question but one she hadn't been expecting either. Did it make her happy? To a degree, yes it did. There was something relieving about having a Chevalier that she didn't realize until she'd gone so long without. The feeling of not being truly alone, of being connected on a primal level to another being. It was a bond that transcended most others...which is why many of her Chevalier had gone a bit nutty due to it.]}

Mm...I suppose it does. Sometimes I think I'm happy, but other times I'm not so sure.

That is quite normal for most people. I can assure you it doesn't make you strange at all.

[Really it's part of what makes so many so easy to manipulate. Just tug at what makes them unhappy and watch them unravel.

In the most beautiful way really.]

[colorature]

Really? You don't think I'm strange for it?

_{[That brings with itself some semblance of relief, even if it's somewhat muted.]}

I never know what's strange or isn't, you know. It's difficult sometimes.

[fingeronthebutton]

I don't. I see this quite often actually.

[Elias chuckles softly and pets her hair gently.]

But if you are ever not sure you can come to me to ask.

_{[She leans into his touch, eager to continue receiving it.]}

I will then. _{[She'll be sure to ask him. He seems to know what he's talking about.]} What about you? Are you happy? What makes you happy?

[fingeronthebutton]

Now, Diva. What do you think makes me happy?

[Because talking about world ending plots? Well yes that makes him happy but it's not the sort of thing he intends to tell her. No point in showing off that Jon had always been right about him.]

What do I think makes you happy?

_{[Tough question to answer, in all honesty.]}

Well, when I'm happy I bet that makes you happy, right? But that aside...I bet when you get to play a game that's really fun. You seem like that kind of person.

[fingeronthebutton]

[That makes him laugh because it's described so innocently but it's quite true.]

Yes. I really do. I am rather fond of my games and seeing where they will go.

_{[Diva may be an idiot, but she can be insightful sometimes. Clearly she's pleased by his laughter, glad to have been the cause of it.]}

To me, Elias, you're a person who hates being bored. You're most happy when you're entertained.

_{[Regardless of whatever form that entertainment may come in.]}

[She really is so pure despite everything. A monster, yes. But pure.]

You would not be wrong. But more than that I am curious by nature and I love to have my curiosity satisfied.
