Dionysus: "May I have a moment?"

Taka: "Certainly."

Dionysus: "It was a beautiful symphony, was it not?"

Taka: "It was. I've never heard such music before. It was...captivating."

Dionysus: "It was unique. Dionysus is a true master."

Taka: "He is that."

Dionysus: "Naitaka, I... I have a confession to make."

Taka cocks her head. "Oh yes?"

Dionysus: "I'm embarrassed to say, I did not make this mission simply for the good of the Stomrbringer's cause."

Taka flattens her ears slightly, looking a bit on-guard. "Go on..."

Dionysus: "When Brunhagan told me about you, well... I knew I had to meet you."

Dionysus: He seems a little embarrassed.

Taka blinks. "you...what?" By her expression, that was the last thing she'd expected to hear.

Dionysus: "I... I was intrigued. I... I sound a fool. Forgive me."

Taka: "No! No...I just...it surprised me." a pause. "Intrigued by what?"

Dionysus: He pauses, then says, "Well... you sounded like... I mean. He. I. Ehem. He described you as both devoted & skilled, beautiful, in the way of trens, & intelligent. Clever."

Taka blushes Trenfashion. "...oh."

Dionysus: "I felt I should be honest with you. I came on this mission myself, rather than leave it to an underling, hoping to meet you."

Taka blushes a bit more, looking like she has no idea what to make of that. "...I see."

Dionysus: "I... I should say no more. I am sorry. I am making a fool of myself. What must you think of me? Oh... I shall let you be. Goodnight, Naitaka."

Taka: "No, it's alright..."

Dionysus: He pauses. "Thank you. But it is late. We must leave early tomorrow. I... should stop for now."

Taka: "I just...well...no one's ever said that to me before." she's speaking very softly...loud enough to hear, though. "So I'm sorry if I offended or hurt you. Anyway..."

Dionysus: "You did not. I feared I had... I mean, you are both more than I expected & all that I expected."

Taka blushes again. "No...I'm flattered, actually."

Dionysus: He smiles. "That is all I could hope for. Goodnight, Naitaka."

Taka: "Goodnight..."

Dionysus: He goes off to bed. Did you go to Albert's speech in the morning?

Taka: Yeah.
