[ Okay. She's been wondering since the trial... maybe even since before then... but everything she half-witnessed during their little onsen party has raised Lacus' curiosity to unbearable levels. She hasn't had gossiping sessions with friends since... before the first war, probably. It's been a long time.
But she has a friend here, and that friend has something fascinating going on. So when it just happens that they're the only two people in the cabana, she can't hold back anymore. ]
Would you mind if I ask what might be an intimate question?
[An intimate question...? Oh dear. That sounds vaguely scandalous, but Lobelia is always willing to hear Lacus out. Surely she wouldn't be asking him anything too salacious...
Setting down one of his prized conches on the nightstand, he settles on the edge of the bed, head tipped to one side.]
That may depend on how étroit a question it is! What's on your mind?
[All in good fun, surely! He gently pats Lacus' shoulder as if to assure her that he takes no offense to her curiosity, finding that it's a bit exciting discussing this sort of thing anyway. A thin, almost childish smile creeps across his lips.]
If I told you that I've found my âme soeur, would you believe me?
[As it turns out, there's a reason for that discrepancy!]
Heheh, what a thoughtful answer! Then I ought to also inform you that my personne spéciale is not Monsieur Temenos... though I am quite attached to him.
[Tempting and teasing a man who holds the wrath of god in his hands is just too fun!]
I promise that I won't breathe a word of this to anybody. Though I will also say that I am dying to hear the whole story. You seemed quite happy to be unattached just two weeks ago!
[ She is going to be dwelling on Lobelia's mysterious soulmate for ages now... This gossiping session has given her more than she bargained for.
But then Lobelia turns the stick around and she smiles. Maybe she should have seen that one coming. ]
I can't say I have shared your intense experiences. My soulmate is waiting on me at home, as you know.
[ Her relationship to Kira is a complicated something between platonic and romantic, but it is without a doubt the central connection in Lacus' life. ]
That said, I'll still let you in on some more frivolous thoughts. In the spirit of our clandestine talks. Let's see...
I think the most beautiful person on this island is Psyche, though it's stiff competition. We have a lot of gorgeous individuals here. In terms of personality... My usual type would probably be someone like Zelkov? Though I can also see the appeal of a man like Beelzebub - you agree, don't you?

no subject
[ Lacus smiles playfully and inches a little closer. It feels like a sleepover thing to do, asking something like this. ]
You seem to have taken quite a liking to Monsieur Temenos, non?
no subject
[Temenos? Ah... She saw that little trick he played on Temenos at the onsen, did she? Lobelia can't help breaking into full-bodied laughter.]
Quelle surprise! Have you been gossiping, Chère? I had no idea that such rumors were floating around!
[Yeah. Sure he didn't.]
no subject
[ She looks mildly scandalized by the accusation of gossiping, though it's unclear whether that's just part of the game here. ]
I've most certainly not spoken to others about your affairs! It's merely my own observations and curiosity leading me here.
no subject
If I told you that I've found my âme soeur, would you believe me?
no subject
Oh? I'd be quite surprised, but I certainly would not consider it impossible!
no subject
Heheh, what a thoughtful answer! Then I ought to also inform you that my personne spéciale is not Monsieur Temenos... though I am quite attached to him.
[Tempting and teasing a man who holds the wrath of god in his hands is just too fun!]
no subject
But there's an implication here that makes her head tilt. ]
But there is such a person, nevertheless?
no subject
Oui! And when we've made our union official, I can assure you you'll know of it. Until then, please keep this our little secret, alright?
no subject
My, my, my! Such fast developments!
[ Not Temenos? Who else did she overlook... ]
I promise that I won't breathe a word of this to anybody. Though I will also say that I am dying to hear the whole story. You seemed quite happy to be unattached just two weeks ago!
no subject
[He has to wonder what Lacus will think when his "lover" is revealed. Will she be happy for him? Shocked? Some combination of the two?]
But it's true! I had never considered that I might settle and find a amoureux, but life manages surprise us when we least expect it, non?
[Ah, but as much as he loves talking endlessly about himself, he's curious about something:]
And what about you, Chère? Surely you wouldn't mind answering your own question. Has anyone on the island caught your eye?
no subject
But then Lobelia turns the stick around and she smiles. Maybe she should have seen that one coming. ]
