[center][h1][color=FFD700][b]Edward Scawthorne[/b][/color][/h1] [img]http://i.imgur.com/HQiDuUu.jpg[/img] [/center] Being a Master that he is, her own perspective about understanding someone like her left him confused. His parents never taught him something like this... at least... not a lot, maybe just vague terms but that's just it. He looked at her with a worried expression, one that might also express curiosity. A curse she spoke of? He was well and there right up to that point. Being a mage in a modern era where magic is very, very rare he believed witchcraft to be something of an illusion, an obstacle in the way of reaching your dream. With a smirk, he put a hand on Lancer's shoulder. [color=#ffd700]"Curses? Fate? What a bunch of bullcrap- err... forgive my language."[/color] He quickly apologized, Edward, of all people would. Got to retain that noble air after all. [color=#ffd700]"If such a curse has already befallen me, I would never think about that one bit. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after all and just like you said, there are no second chances."[/color] Edward reeled his hand back, putting on the spoon and fork on his plate as he stared right into her passionate eyes. [color=#ffd700]"I guess I was being a little... selfish, pushing you off of me just because you're clingy. I'm actually expecting you to share your dark secret, even if it isn't the whole story."[/color] He looked away for a bit before nodding. [color=#ffd700]"...hm, if you really feel that way about me. Then you are, my very first friend... as such, I will allow you to do best friend stuff with me from now on!"[/color] From the sound of that, it looked like Edward here didn't have any real friends to begin with. Sure there are people who admire him through his wealth, but that would just be it. Only taking him for granted, it actually sounded sad from anyone's perspective, he didn't even know what friends do together. At least now he's a bit understanding of Lancer's feelings while still being somewhat spoiled. Just as he waited though, he glared at her suspiciously about his looks, taking in what she said earlier... he gave a confirming nod. [@Feyblue]
