[When both of them flip their boards around, Farah looks pleased at his response for all of second before her expression sours.]
Nothing feels good about us being right if you're going to call me "the foolish woman" you know! And why am I foolish anyway?!
[She didn't write the questions! Farah folds her arms and gives Gundam a look as the vendor waits to see where this goes. Are they going to argue? Should he subtract points for that?]
[And he says she's prone to acts of tomfoolery? Wow. Not her problem if Gundam can't climb rocks or jog good okay... That last bit of his response gets her though.]
I'm not going to ask you out! [...] Did you think I would? [Isn't it obvious she wouldn't. Was he expecting her to? What is he thinking?? She's so curious and also not sure if this is something she wants to know more about.]
I recall attacking you with an enchanted sword! And that was a test of your strength. [Not the act of a tomfool!! He insists.]
I- I do not know! I cannot predict the minds of humans. But when it comes down to it, mankind's hearts are more easily swayed than the dark hearts of demonkind!
Enchanted sword. [Right.] I passed that test with flying colours if I remember.
[Her words not his because he probably downplayed her strength for a foolish girl or what have you- But anyway! Back to the more embarrassing questioning.]
Anyway don't worry, like I said I'm not going to ask you! [...] How would you ask someone out though? I'm wondering if you'd do it like this or if you might try something different.
[... Quickly to follow up Farah's question, the vendor scribbles on a board of his own and holds up the next question. "How would he ask someone out?"]
[The answer Farah ends up going with is "something sweet, nothing showy" which doesn't match up sadly. When they reveal their answers she cocks her head to the side as she reads Gundam's board.]
Oh! I figured since you've been getting flustered it would be something else! But you do like big displays and keeping things exciting too, huh.
S-sweetness... that is completely incompatible to my style! [That may or may not be true.]
Were I to select a dark bride, that ritual would take on the form of a grand display! Such is the only fitting path for an overlord. ...Is this insipid game done with yet?! [He looks around uncertainly.]
Well when you put it like that... Yeah. It's not really a match for you. [Normally he isn't the sweet sort BUT HE'S SO EMBARRASSED NOW she thought maybe there was a chance?! Lord of darkness on the streets, sweeter than sweets in the sheets.
The vendor shakes their head at that question, because while they're out of questions of their own this is getting pretty good.]
You're skipping a lot there picking someone as a bride aren't you? You could suddenly fall for someone without realising it, then you could go on dates and get to know each other. It could be very romantic.
[Going straight to bridedom is a big stride past a lot of good stuff! ... The vendor quickly writes up a new question. "Is he taking things too quickly?"]
It is good that you accept that truth! [He wouldn't want people to assume he's some lover of sweetness! Aside from liking to pet cute animals.
But then her following statements bring him back to flustered.]
R-romance... what need does history's greatest monster have for such a thing?! Sure, there may be some additional steps to a courtship, but were I to forge a bond with a dark bride, it would be ordained by destiny itself!
[Wow. Okay. The vendor glares for a moment, flips their board around... And then back over again. "What's his deal?"
It's for the best that Farah decided not to answer either of those last few questions.]
Saying it's destiny that you two were to meet can be romantic too! You're saying all this stuff about not needing it but really...
[She gives Gundam a long look. A looong look. He's been getting so flustered ever since the questions went this way. With a smile she gives him a nod and a wink.]
I think a certain dark lord likes romance more than he lets on.
[Gundam waves a dismissive hand at the vendor. His "deal" is beyond human comprehension, clearly!
But Farah's last words drive him further in a corner, and he flushes redder.]
Hrgh! ...W-well, what I know is that you are suffering from a delusion! There... is no such thing as romance when it comes to pure evil! [He weakly protests.]

Date: 2019-05-08 04:43 am (UTC)That's simple. You can be prone to acts of tomfoolery. A-and you would be especially foolish to do as that question asks!

Hmph. If I were to engage in something akin to a courtship...

There is nothing to take quickly!! Begone, fiend!
