Oh, of course not!

[If that's what Rohan says, then she'll believe him. He's never given her any real reason to doubt him before now, after all. She feels bad for even that smidgen of doubt.

Anna looks up at Rohan with wide green eyes, her lips forming a little smile. It's clear she's earnest in what she says.]

I love living with you, Rohan. I...this might sound sort of weird, but ever since I came here, you've started to feel like...like family. I wouldn't trade that for anything!

You realize that, that means more to me than you will ever possibly understand.

[ He coils up near the fire and somewhere between it and where the nymph is settled. ]

I have been dreadfully lonely for my entire life. I know you have too. This house here? I have lived alone everywhere I have lived since I moved away from my parents.

... You, Jotaro, Lorna, and Josuke are the closest things I have had to a family in years and years.

At least I have two of you left.

[Anna beams at him, her hands fidgeting in her lap.]

I'm really glad. I just...I definitely know what it feels like, being lonely. So if I can keep someone else from feeling that way, even if it's just a little bit, I will. Especially you, Rohan. You've done so much for me.

[Her gaze lowers.]

We'll be here for you, Rohan. Me and Lorna both.

That is all I ask for.

The castle would be so empty without the two of you.

[ Ew, he's having a Feeling. ]

I love you very, very much.

[Well that just about does it, doesn't it? Anna's eyes grow impossibly wide, and just a little wet. She laughs, a laugh that almost wants to be a sob, and ducks her head.]

I love you too, Rohan. So much. I've...never had an older brother, but that's what you feel like to me. It makes me feel...safe.

[Which, in a place like this, is saying a whole lot.]

I know Elsa would be glad, knowing I'm with you.

[ The distinct lack of tears in his eyes does nothing for the straight up stinging in his sinuses. ]

Part of why I joined the Fog God is because I wanted to protect my family. That meant all of you. People claim that I do what I have out of my own selfishness, but that isn't the case at all.

She promises that no harm will come to you.

[ Pause. ]

Don't cry, Anna. Especially when I can't anymore.

[Her head still ducked, Anna wipes hastily at her tears, which have started to bead under her eyes like dewdrops.]

I'll try my best. And...for what it's worth, I'll try my hardest to protect you, too. You don't deserve to be sad, Rohan, not for everything you do for all of us. Lorna and I, and Ibuki, and Karamatsu...we all owe you so much. So it's the least I can do to watch our for you the best I can.

[ Reaching forward with an unnatural-looking roll of his body to send himself closer to her, he fluffs out one of her sunflowers. ]

I don't need to be watched out for.

As long as I have you and the others, I will be fine. For the first time in... A long while, I can say that I am happy. Despite it all.

[Anna lets out a wet little hiccup of laughter, her leaves rustling.],/small>

Well...good. But still. I'm here for you. You're so important to me, to all of us. So I can't just sit by and not try to do my best for you.

You have done more than enough. You need to focus on yourself too, you know.

I wouldn't have chosen to run a household if I didn't think I could handle it on my own.

... Then again, I never thought I would run a household.

I guess so. And that's not something I ever really thought about either, before. [She doesn't look too convinced; she's just fine! Nothing to focus on there!

Anna runs her fingers over the arm of her chair, glancing around the sitting room.]

So, what exactly do you do over here?

[ Rohan sets his hand on his cheek, rubbing at it a little totally not trying to keep his face from getting tight. ]

I do a lot of my painting here. Or just to get away from the noise.

To talk to Her if I need to. Apparently I need a higher-up to go to for advice, you know?

That sounds nice. And relaxing. I guess with me running around the house it's nice to get a little peace and quiet.

[She doesn't say this to make him feel bad. She's well aware that she can be pretty disruptive at times, even if she tries her hardest not to be a nuisance.

The princess nods.]

Yeah. Sometimes it's hard to find all the answers yourself!

[ Snicker... ]

You aren't a bother at all.

I think you might like being able to visit here. I find it to be a kind of meditation.

[ big question: ]

Have you considered perhaps seeing what the Fog God has for you?

Well—I'm glad you think so!

[She gives him a smile that's both genuine and relieved. All she ever wants is to be wanted, after all. To not be in the way. Rohan's always been good about making her feel wanted.

Anna blinks a couple of times, and looks up at Rohan uncertainly.]

No-o-o...Not really, I mean. It's not like I haven't been curious.

[ TIME TO CONVERT THE CHILD.

Er... ]

What have you been curious about? If anyone can answer questions... Well, it's me.

Well...I guess I've just heard a lot of conflicting information, y'know? Some people seem...really opposed to the Fog God, just like they are to the Fourth God.

[It seems weird to her, to say his name here, but she's just trying to be forthright.]

Some people say she's evil. Because she's the one that brings us here.

Elias is a false prophet. His following is artificially created through the use of technology. People only dislike the Fog God because She is something they can't fully comprehend. She is a force of nature as well as an entity.

Just because someone brings you somewhere new doesn't make them evil. No matter what is thrust upon you... I am grateful to her.

[ He speaks with a certain admiration, shutting his eyes at one point with a smile as he sets his hand over his chest where his key sits. ]

Oh. [Anna seems to consider that for a moment, her brow furrowing.] That sounds a lot like how people see Odin, actually. So it makes sense!

[Her expression softens, seeing Rohan look so...taken with her.]

It seems like she's done a lot for you.
