I don't know. Sometimes I think our Astrologer will say anything for a bit of coin considering how she always complains about her lack thereof.

Perhaps I wish I didn't, or that I'd never heard it in the first place. Star are so ominous.
[ there's a touch of amusement, there, a little wry. ]
...I like to think predictions in that manner are best taken with a healthy grain of spite. Is it too close of a question to ask you what you fear most? Or should that be for a third date.
I suppose I couldn't just say "spiders". [ they are not afraid of spiders. obviously.
but. there's a thoughtful pause, and then a little more measured: ] ... Truthfully, there is very little that I'm afraid of, Kaeya. It's a hard question to answer in small measures.
I asked first, though. I'll keep my word and tell you, after.
The thing I fear the most above all is having to choose... between the land of my birth and the land that raised me to be who I am. One is destiny, blood, one is heart, selfishness...
It should seem obvious what answer is the right one, supposedly. Yet it's a choice I do believe I'll run from as fast as I can.

Would you share something with me as well?

That depends. What?

Doesn't have to be your greatest, but... I think it should be worth mine, perhaps?

Are you calling this a third date, then?

Dinner. Dancing. Wine in a private dream. I think so.
