It seemed this was a heavy conversation for Conrad. As if only able to keep being honest by avoiding her gaze, he was playing with pen in his hands, lowering his gaze further more when Lipka was closer to him.
" Just like I love Melody to death, but feel restless before her, because she requires so little of me... It is reasonable, that I would feel protective toward a person Svarik cares about so much, but restless just the same, with how little burden of guilt or expectations she places on me. Or do you think I will find it pleasant, that you are diplomatic and understanding about this? That I would feel relieved, that things are more convenient for me? People can end up with good relationship in the end, even if they argue sometimes. How can you trust my replies honesty, if you do not see I am properly repentant, and how can I trust your acceptance, if you are not the littlest bit exasperated? Unfavourable as my life situation is, I am still an Underground Leader and person of vast wealth, who brought a girl from countryside to a city, separated from whole world she ever knew, with promise of supporting her and king's love, only to tell her later, when she was expecting king's child already, that I happen to also love the king, and that only way for her not to lose him is to share him. There is clear power imbalance to the situation. Whether it makes Svarik happy or not, it is still a trashy position to put you in. Regardless of the fact you had a lot of time to think it all through and make peace with it before this - it is still a trashy position, to be in, because of someone else's selfishness, " despite evading her look, his words were firm. " It is fine if it's not a dramatic, deep, or vengeful resentment. But is it not completely reasonable of me, to expect a moderate amount of turmoil? How could I possibly offer you any act of atonement, if you do not allow yourself to feel reasonably wronged? "

" Oh, you don't have to worry... It is just that I examined the state of the cute little demonlings you have here. Their regeneration is quite something... Still, it means little that they can regenerate each night, if they are being cooked like cute little soft potatoes each day... Just because injuries get healed each night, does not mean it isn't damn painful. Perhaps if they were locked up in underground basements each day it would be relatively fine, but if they are to keep working as they are during the day, helping to move and carry things and aiding work in the mansion, they will just keep burning like crispy potatoes... It is not good for health. I dislike trashy tropes of chronic pain for the sake of atonements... so might as well erase that plot point. After all, bitter things are unpleasant, when one has a choice, why not eat sweets?  " Alpha summed up. His phrasing and tone sounded playful and uninvolved, but Svarik, who had talked with him a bit more, could discern some sadness, in the way with which he carefully browsed through papers as he spoke. " If you tried to take advantage of me for something merely useful with no heart, I would not involve myself as readily, especially today that I am depressed, but especially now that place around Sil Simbel's pond is so hot and their only protections are human made cloaks, it is just too pitiful for me not to offer some sun relief. After all, who better to step up for relief from the light, than a Star? " he winked at Svarik softly, while extending some papers to him. " If you'd require something harder to make with more features, I fear I'd have to ask for a deal, but if all you wish for is to not have your sunburnt forces in pain every day, I will ask nothing of you. Ultimately... If we were far in mountains in the cold, cloaks would be perfect, but here at Simbels's side, they are too inefficiently hot, warmth just gets more trapped in them, and it's not wonder poor bastards get burned all the more warmer the city gets, no matter how many layers they have. I was thinking more of thin clothes but with sun protection for the bodies. For the head though, just having a low hood barely helps, because their faces and eyes would still hurt, so I am thinking of some nice hats, with translucent veils with sun protection falling in a lovely flower manner around it down to the shoulders, so they can look around freely without being half blind in the sun. So, we were going through some designs for the idea. We wanted to consult with you about it before doing anything, of course, " he looked up to Svarik, with a little narrowed glowing eyes, and a clear glint of careful observation and interest, seeming to find pleasure, in asking such a question about vampires in front of couple of vampires, anticipating Svarik's reactions. " After all, the final choice of how far you want to go is yours, since they were your enemies once and their lives are in your hands, and I can not do anything, before my cute sugar permits me, after all... So, care to share your thoughts, my sweets? How far are you yearning for your cool Star guest to go? "

" I knew you would feel regretful wasting suck character on only one appearance. My cute Seine is very predictable sometimes, " Tide chuckled a little bit, with a sentimental gaze. He made a soft, purring sound, as he reassured him. " Indeed, let's go with that. It is a good middle between Beast King wanting to punish someone that hurt Sein Miru and keep him safe, and feeling grieved to have to punish person loyal to him who was on his side for so long. Loyalty of countless years, or a very brief uncertain romance... what would win? It is interesting to see the turmoil of having to make such a heavy choice, especially considering their relationship is still very new, without proper confessions or actual affirmation of affection out loud, " Tide spoke innocently as he walked, with shimmering curiosity, clearly baiting Senecio for an answer. " You know, perhaps not now, but when you feel it is proper in our game progression - I do really look forward, to hearing Sein Miru's confession with your lips, when he realises his feelings of fascination with Beast King mean more. After all, our own relationship start was quite out of the norm. You confessed - to trying to seduce me to spend some good final memories, and while that is refreshingly honest, classical confessions are always worth hearing, when they are true. When we started our relationship, did we both not say we really like each other, and that we hope the liking may grow to be more with time? Well, my liking in meantime has grown quite substantially, unquestioningly, unbearably more, so... " he was not looking at the actor, but at the floor, but his feelings were bright and expectant. " If your feelings are littlest bit bigger than when we started this whole thing, too, I hope you are looking forward just as much as me, hearing with Sein Miru's ears, a more sincere confession of affection, from Beast King's lips... "
