Mysteries of Daraku

"Hey Xana what does it means, 'encourage Dixi to make her move?" she asked, "Plain and simple, tell Dixi to fuck Yumi already." She replied with a grin, "Eh!?" then she talked back to Kathrynne, "I-I don't know if I should push her, m-maybe it's better to let her do it at her p-pace."

Meanwhile Dixi sneezed, "Either I got a cold, or someone is talking about me..." she then walked to Adri, "Hey Adri can I talk to you in private? There is something I would like to consult with you..."

By the time they returned to the main room, Ferro had returned, sporting some bruises and a bite mark on his arm. "Welcome back, you two!"
Adri smiled at the mature fist fighter. "Certainly!" She headed to the hall with Dixi. "So, what did you wanna ask me?"

"I guess Ferro already told you about Ix's ability to seal corruption and my own to absorb it right? I was wondering if you could replicate the sealing power... In case Ix isn't available."

"Well, I could certainly try, but with something like this, it might take a while," she stated. "I know why you're asking, however. If I can't replicate it in time and something goes wrong, you have to retreat from Daraku!" she instructed, her expression becoming serious.

"Her pace? Do you think that, maybe, you two have a little more in common than you thought?" Kathrynne suggested. "Neither of you seem particularly good at asking for what you REALLY want. A little nudge never hurt anyone, after all. If it wasn't for Xana's little push, you would have missed out on the chance of a lifetime." Kathrynne licked her lips as she thought about it.

"Don't worry, falling to them isn't part of my plans." she replied "Take the time you need and if you need anything just ask away."

"Very well," she answered. "I'll inform you when I've managed to pull it off."

"Thanks Adri... A-And also there is one more thing..." Dixi blushed slightly and looked around to make sure no one else was listening, "Can you give me some advice for... You know... Make a move... The only ones I could ask would be Ix, who's too innocent, or Xana, I would rather die before asking her..."

(Meanwhile, Kathrynne's just sitting there, wanting to give advice to Ix on how to advise Dixi xD)

(Fuck didn't saw that one sorry u.u)

Adri's smile returned to her. "Of course! I'd love to give you advice! But are you sure? I'm a Midara too, after all!" (I'm finishing up a DnD session right now))

Dixi shrugs "For some reason I trust you more in that regard that Xana..."

"B-But I don't know... I don't want to force anything... replied Ix to Kathrynne.

(Btw the best tactic is dwarf + ale, works always!)

She smiled warmly and pulled her into a soft hug. "I appreciate your trust, Dixi. Though, you should be a bit nicer to your sister," she told her patiently. She sounded like a mother.

Kathrynne shot a wry look in Ixana's direction, only to notice that she'd left the room, momentarily forgetting that this conversation wasn't happening person to person.
"Do you really think you could convince Dixi to do something she didn't already want to do? I'm not asking you to do what Xana did. For a start, it's not your style, and I'm pretty sure Yumi would know. What I'm saying is that you should give her the push she needs to go for it. You seem like a really good motivator." Kathrynne responded, sounding genuine.

Dixi sighed "I trust her... But at some matters... Well, let's say she's too drastic." she then chuckled "By the way Adri, you just sound like a mother trying to get two sisters to get along." she said smiling.

"I... I guess so, but what could I do, it's not like I can go and tell her to do something." replied Ix while giving some thoughts to the idea.

"Why not just offer to help her?" Kathrynne suggested. "I mean, you did say you like to help people. Why would your sister be any different." Kathrynne felt pretty proud of herself for remembering something that would usually be an inconsequential detail about someone else. Maybe being not entirely self-focused could result in her getting even better at convincing people.

"Oh, do I? Well, I do have experience in that regard!" She smiled brightly, as if she liked the comparison.

"Oh? Should I call you mom then?" She jest, then went back to the most important business in the world, to her of course, the advice, "So, what could I do then?"

"Of course she's no diferent! She's my big sister, if I can help her somehow I will, as long as I don't have to force her to anything, after all she's always taking care of me." she said closing her eyes and putting her hands on her chest while smiling.

(wait damn phone app deleted half of the msg gotta edit it)

"Well then, offer to help!" Kathrynne chuckled to herself quietly. It was a good thing that Kathrynne had good intentions, albeit with an ulterior motive, but even so. "And I'm happy to help you through it too, if you need me."

Adrianna laughed at her joke and refocused herself on the prospect of giving Dixi advice. "The best advice I can give is to think about who you are and how someone like yourself can flirt with their other. Or you could think about what YOU might like and base your next move around that. Or you could simply ask her if she wants to do something. Sometimes the simplest moves are the best."

(Are they discussing this while Yumi is in the room? ._.)

(Adri and Dixi are in the hallway and Kathrynne is talking to Ix with the stone Dixi gave her)

"So... Just ask her if she want us to take the step forward I guess?"

"So I should tell her to just, ask Yumi to take the step together?"

"Absolutely. Sometimes it's better to just ask then to try and be sneaky or clever about it," she chimed, giving her a nod.
