[Midnight Maiden]

"It matters because it's going to bother me if I don't know."​

She simply gave House an exasperated look.​

"You.. Wouldn't like it." She shrugged dismissively.​

 

[BarrenThin]

"You.. Wouldn't like it." She shrugged dismissively.​

"I still want to know."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"I still want to know."​

She just looked.. Sheepish.​

"Tell me."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"Tell me."​

Yvaine seemed uncertain of whether she should say it or not. He could probably sway her fairly easily, at this point.​

"Please?"​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"Please?"​

"..." She sighed heavily.. But relented. "If you go anywhere, you shouldn't be alone. It's not..-" she seemed to hesitate, clearly searching for a safe phrasing to use. "-..It isn't safe. Especially when you don't know this world." She tried to avoid mentioning the specifics on the dangers around.​

"Then I'll be wandering off."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"Then I'll be wandering off."​

"What was that?"​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"What was that?"​

She just blushed.. And shook her head. "Nothing.. It probably doesn't matter to you.." she mumbled.​

"It might."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"It might."​

She just looked uncertain.. But repeated what she'd said. Not any louder, though, so it couldn't be made out.​

"Speak up."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"Speak up."​

Hesitantly, she repeated herself, again. Just a little louder.. "I.. I said I don't want you to get hurt, alright?"​

"... Oh."​

 

[Midnight Maiden]

"... Oh."​

She just looked away, twiddling her thumbs, embarrassedly. She had a feeling he would probably just tease her about it, or wander off despite.​
