ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

[ for his love?

it may seem too harsh a response for others, but for oz, it makes perfect sense. there's no cruelty in the act; it simply is, for if you are taken from, you take in turn. a true northern wizard would not judge that, and as a northern wizard, he does not.

but he also does not voice his thoughts on that. it is disconnected from him, and there is no place for him there in the affairs of others. ]

... I will not assume your heart, so I will ask.

[ oz can recall that uroko had said he did not question that duty or his promise, whatever that was. oz would never ask on the latter, given what it means to him. ]

What do you, as Uroko, think of that decision?

[ ...he needs to drink more to answer this so he does, finishing his glass and pouring another. really, if he wanted to not be feeling anything at all he would at least need to down several bottles before speaking again, but the action helps as a placebo if nothing else. ]

I think it's foolish. The land and sea will continue to comingle, regardless of the Sea God's desires. He could not stop his children from leaving him when they were all of the sea, so he cannot stop them now.

He wishes to see them protected, like any father does, but in doing so he causes pain. And he knows himself, just what it feels like to fall in love with someone from the land. If their voices could reach him, perhaps something could be done. For now, there is simply time and distance.

[ there is something within oz that feels a specific way towards the notion that such a response is foolish. there is some measure of defensiveness, irrationality, and agreement; there is no need for him to feel such things, as it's a situation so far from him, and yet they are there.

uroko drinks in preparation for his response. oz's gaze merely dips towards his glass, staring at what remains in silence.

you are right tangles with you do not understand, then, and he is uncertain which is the stronger or weaker one. from within, there is only a singular conclusion that both protects and accurately reflects what oz views as the truth. ]

... Then remember that distinction. It is proof of the freedom you hold beyond your origins, and your obligations. There may be a time when you need such a thing.

[ but perhaps uroko already knows that. there's just something that seems young in the way he speaks, despite not being so. beyond all else, it's a compliment. ]

Mmn. [ another sip, slower this time. ]

I am but a single scale of the Sea God, but even I am not free from the current, it seems. But perhaps that is not complete sacrilege. After all, my tendency to be stubborn comes from him just as well.

[ it's something he needed to hear, even if it's something he will sit on for a few more days before actually acting on it fully. oz won't get a thank you, but he does get a warm smile instead. ]
