no genre is safe from the dreaded love triangle

Integrity caressed the delicate bouquet, taking care that the buds of his labour won't wilt in his coarse palms. He looked down at his boots, witnessing as the suns rays reflect on them.

In his head, he prayed his tender intentions could tip the scales, to be spared from a perceived sense of contempt behind a modest smile. That upon witnessing any mistake he made, Creativity would shrug off and take like he always did. Though that isn't an excuse to make any mistakes is it? What if he made a bad mistake? An awful mistake, a mistake so horrible, so.. so reprehensible, so unforgivab-...

"congruent" as in similar or harmonious. ahh… that's what integrity is about. he would like the inners to get along, because integration. criteg? criteg?! eeeeee! yayyyy someone else has a really interesting take on them!! crea will probably be involved. ooohh artisticcritique… fun. it is part of the knights' name, but artistic very much conjures crea. like. i think the love triangle is going to be intense. anyways i could see it as. critique provided based on ensuring the integrity of art, like holding it to a standard

bouquet!! flowers for critic! (i think) hehe. very cute. "buds of his labour" did he grow them himself? (garden of virtue ref? :3) so interesting that he has other hobbies :). and fiddling with the flowers bc he's nervous :333. good detail abt his hands, from swordfighting? the jp boots… oh no the armor okay. ah the sun exists here! 'witnessing' interesting word choice. its happening beyond his control. sure.

coming back a week later, what did i mean by that? anyways its nice and sunny!

:) :3 Okay Teg's hoping to gain favor from someone. "Prayed" religious imagery /j. Sounds more desperate, serious than "hoped" or "wished." coooool "tip the scales" it's a close judgement then? Teg does have a chance at convincing whomever. "tender intentions" sounds so sweet, so cute. I'll believe they are for now; I wonder what he wants. "perceived sense of contempt" could be Critic? Who would dislike Teg? Well I don't know whose house Teg's at right now "spared … behind a modest smile" :) I'm interpreting this as he's hoping his target will be polite about it? Or just spared from the whole thing. Or maybe Teg's contemptuous?? (I don't really understand…) I think it's the first option? IT'S CREA. Someone's more worried about his mistakes than Crea. :) Yes, I do picture Teg and Crit as afraid of failure, to a fault. Getting caught in a spiral a bit? A hypocritical mistake? A mistake like sealing Greed away :3? So it seems like it's Crea's place? I would really like part 2… to know… (uh yeah but I'm a slow writer as well)

critic!! hehehe. yay he's here with his glasses (and he's in the title so) (Thick lenses aren't usually put in thin frames like I think Crit is supposed to have? because they just stick out. Cute thick black frames……) squinting and blinking: sun's bright or he's tired?

for instance, green tea, freshly steeped and served without additives, is hot and dry, and therefore has an aspect of fire.

a mocha, on the other hand, while hot, is sweet, and therefore wet, and thus has an an aspect of air.

lemonade, which is wet and cold, has a water aspect.

This is for you big dawg

he always ends up eating my entire supply of doughnuts by the end of the explanation and I'm starting to wonder if he's only here them...
