I only want you to be honest. But if you insist on being difficult, I will leave it at that. However, I will say this:
There is no word for 'love' in the Kremnoan language, and I have never known it. But I can only assume the way I feel for Castorice is as close to love as I can get. [ Because what he feels for Phainon is beyond love. It's a whole level above everything else. But his fellow Chrysos Heirs? Castorice especially? Love. He loves her. She is the family he never got to have. ]
Whatever your intentions are, you would do well not to hurt her.
[ He BARELY has a handle on his feelings. The bar is SO LOW. ]
... That is enough of an answer for me.
[ He doesn't feel the need to comment on a "punishment" because that should be a given. Harming Aventurine would upset Castorice, but he will make his life hell. ]
{ yeah, the bar is SO LOW and aventurine's handle on it is under the ground. we know how it is. }
Did you ask all this because of what Boothill asked us?
{ he has no idea what castorice has told him, and maybe even after they've talked about... some of this, she isn't happy with his answer after all. is that it? 😔 }
[ Castorice has told him a lot, but nothing about this. Not yet, anyway. He's going purely based on The Yearning and jumpscaring Cas with sexy dresses. ]

If I ever fail on that, I'll turn up on your doorstep ready for whatever punishment you see fit. How does that sound?
{ must be nice to have a good handle on your feelings so you can say all this with confidence, mydei... }
god these two
