YES, I'M FINE!!!

[Take a few breaths, Elphelt. Settle down.]

I mean. Yes, I am okay. I'm out getting some fresh air and...well, you know! It's that time of year. The time where love and romance is in the air. It may have gotten the better of me.

[priceofmagic]

R-Right! It's a good time to be hanging out with your fiance!

[Oh wait. She'd said she hadn't heard anything---]

I mean, if you had one! I don't know, nope, n-no idea! N-nice weather!

[travailler]

A-Ah, you're right, of course...

[Why...did she say that...? What did Elphelt do to deserve such cruelty?]

--YOU'RE RIGHT I DON'T HAVE ONE. WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH SPRING AGAIN BEING SINGLE?!

[priceofmagic]

Oh... Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I mean, uh--- Umm! You don't have to be single in spring! I just don't know your husband, uh-- I'm sure... you have...

[This conversation is going poorly, isn't it?]

Um! Are you busy?

[travailler]

Oh...I'm not busy. Maybe I would be busy if I weren't single.

[Asking if she's busy right after Satou turned her down...? Elphelt isn't sure how to take these mixed signals.]

Why do you ask...?

[priceofmagic]

Uh, just cuz. Uhh...

[Satou can feel herself getting flustered again. She just wants to pretend this conversation never happened! Somehow, she needs to help Elphelt forget it too... Like a truce, or something, but a friend truce on feeling awkward!]

Maybe... Since we're both uh. You know. We should hang out. I mean, uh. If you're lonely, or you know, uh. If that's not weird...

[travailler]

Oh...Lonely? Well, um. Perhaps a bit.

[In more way than one. She would like to find her true love, but she is also the regular kind of lonely, too. Satou's women's intuition must be stronger than Elphelt expected to have sensed her loneliness.]

Would you really be okay with spending time with me, Miss Kuroneko?
