UN: G.Akechi | Early afternoon

I'm never leaving my apartment during full Cordis again.

If you encountered me while I had multiple tails, please forget about it. And, I'm sorry to anyone I might have been too forward with, particularly if your moon was also in phase.

The personality influence was never more than just embarrassing before now, but they were much more extreme than normal.

Between the way they can affect people, and the pheromones associated with Corids, I was worried some people might feel taken advantage of.

[Ah, and thus once more she is affirmed that her choice to hide herself during moon cycles largely is a wise one on her behalf. She does so hate apologising, after all, and Midna is never wrong or in the wrong.]

I have reason to believe that there are likely people here who enjoy the idea of being taken advantage of. But that's conjecture only. I wouldn't think it wise to take anything I say as gospel.

I'm sure there are people who are into all kinds of things, but that's something you'd want to be sure of rather than assume.

That's true, but where's the fun in knowing everything? Half the fun is in discovery, you know.

Discovering new things certainly can be fun, but I don't want to hurt people in the process.

I think at this point we have to expect to do things unintentionally. Or at least, not always with our best intentions in mind. Or you can just keep yourself cooped up every time you think you'll do something beyond your control that might harm others. If you know you're potentially a danger to someone else, it seems to be your responsibility to keep that from happening.

That's why I was talking about staying inside whenever Cordis is full, but I've wound up...surprised. The only person who had any complaint at all is just mad that I was teasing her.

I might have overestimated how uncomfortable people are with the idea of agreeing to things while under the influence of their moon.

I'd say I'm surprised at your discovery, but I know more people who have been largely nonchalant about these things. Seems that everyone has a different definition of what they consider acceptable behaviour, with or without faculties being intact.

That being said, I can't say I'm interested in displaying myself as anything but dignified. I've been hiding myself from the beginning and I believe I'll continue to do exactly that.

I'll be interested to hear what your future endeavours result in.

I used to be like that. But I've actually found that letting myself be silly once in a while is more relaxing than embarrassing, especially since people here seem to take it in good humor.

I can understand wanting to maintain an image, though. It's hard to let go of the idea of presenting yourself in a way you think of as respectable.

My standards of myself aren't equivalent of the standards I hold others to.

[She's a princess. As much as she may act as if that means nothing, it's actually quite important to her. However, that kind of information remains close to her and she doesn't share it with just anyone.]

Yet I applaud anyone with the shamelessness to embrace their 'silly' behaviour, as you've aptly put it.

I held myself to pretty high standards of dignity back home, myself, but it always felt stifling. But the only people here from my world either already know or wouldn't care that it's an act, so I guess you could say I'm taking this as a bit of a vacation from cultivating my image.

I suspect many may feel the same way. You sound better now than you did when you originally were seeking to offer apologies. If I'm to be taking anything away from this, that is.

I do feel much better now that I've actually talked to the people I encountered. It's even given me some new perspectives to think about, that hadn't occurred to me before.

That's good, then. It'd be a shame for anyone to be unhappy while they were away on 'vacation.'

Well, I do have to accept that sometimes unpleasant things will come up. The citizens here have been very welcoming to us, and I want to pay them back for that.

Which sometimes means fighting evil octopus goddesses.

Also true and valid. I'll leave you and the others to do the heavy lifting then. Such work doesn't suit a beauty of my station.

Well, we all have our strengths. I can't at all expect everyone to be suited to fighting, even when they have access to their Moonblessing magic.

Did it ever occur to you that some people simply don't want to? Not doing so isn't mutually exclusive with not being suited for it. How presumptuous of you, Akechi-san.

Being capable but averse still counts as not being suited. There are a lot of reasons someone might avoid fighting, even if they are confident in their chances of winning.

I don't agree with that. I'm perfectly capable. I simply choose not to. Why should I do it when the rest of you are already so willing? Something something you humans have about too many chefs in the kitchen or some such.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

So, it's less of an aversion, and more of a belief that it's not necessary and woudl just add more complication to battles we're fully capable of winning without your involvement?

Ah, that's what it is, then.

It's not an aversion. I have no opinions on combat. I am neither for it nor against it. I'm capable, probably more than many people here with or without their Moonblessed talents. I simply choose not to. It's not to my benefit, I'm not hero, and I'm not interested in being one. I am more the sort to delegate responsibility.

So, you consider yourself more of a planner, then?

I consider myself royalty

[Take that as you will.]

That can have multiple meanings. I've had bad experiences with people involved in politics back home, though...I do acknowledge that they came about as a result of people showing an utter lack of regard for the responsibility that comes with a leadership position.
