[ Her eyes light up at the trumpet and then just as quickly the light goes out because I am 100 percent assuming and hoping Justice won't make an exception for her.
She chuckles, soft and a little evil. ]
I hope they drive each other up the wall.
[ She plops down in the chair, all pretense of ladylike behavior out the window because the rules suck this week. ]
I'm pretty sure they will. Have you seen the two of them? Talk about polar opposites. [It's fascinating, and while Love hopes it'll have an okay outcome, at the same time maybe they deserve each other.]
But! Since you held up your end of the deal, I can hold up mine. [A wince.] Even...with the new rule added.
I just saw them yell at each other, so I thought that was enough for your task. [ She's also really annoyed by Rachel and is petty but shhhhh. ] Maybe they'll learn something from each other.
[ She doubts it, but she's learned enough in the past few months that people can and will continue to surprise her because the world is beautiful but also full of batshit crazy people. ]
I want a name. I know it's one of Justice's followers. [ She knows she won't get a name here, but that doesn't mean she can't complain. ] But thank you. I'll treasure the trumpet even if I can't use it for a week.
If they do you'll have done the entire temple a huge favor. They were both sort of disruptive in trial last week anyway. If they learn to get along? That's the best outcome.
[There's a huff.] Nonon-san...you know I can't do that. Have you asked Justice yourself? I know he's hosting this week with Merriment.
[They'll hand over the trumpet anyway because it's a treasure and they don't know how to play it in the first place.]
[ Honestly, she hopes they get along worse. She'd admit it aloud, but it's not important enough for her to say it. She takes the trumpet, beaming, and holds it with more care than she holds almost anything else. ]
I know, I know. I've been more focused trying to get the rule revised a little, but do you really think Justice would cough up a name?
[Maybe don't say that out loud just yet, Nonon!! But Love seems delighted that she likes the gift.]
I don't know about that, but he might be more willing to make some exceptions? I know someone asked to change the no-stealing rule last week...and he's very nice. If you talk to him, it might work out. You just have to be a little creative about it.
He does seem very... earnest. It makes me wonder why he's Justice.
[ She's always had a harder image in her mind. She won't judge on age, though, because she knows anything can happen at any age to make you take a stand. ]
It makes me wonder how... all of you came to be what you are now.
The same reason any of us have our names, I guess. Even if it doesn't look like it at first, we all identify or have aspects of our names one way or another. [But that's not for them to elaborate on.]
[ She shakes her head. She's not bad at it. She knows how to keep a beat without missing a step, and she's naturally graceful, but it's nothing like how she is with music. ]
I was taught how to do some traditional dances and I can waltz, but it's not something I'd say I'm an expert at. Whatever was expected of a daughter of a rich family, I can do.
[This is so dumb but Love is actually very charmed? It's easy to follow Nonon's lead and move in time with the music and in spite of everything she's laughing just a little. She's clearly enjoying herself as they spin their way around the room.]
Beautiful! It's been a while since anyone could keep up no matter what I'm doing.

[ Probably. ]
I wanted to play a song for you, too.
[ She pouts. ]
no subject
Then you should definitely ask Justice if there's an exception to the rule. Tell him it's for me, see what he says.

It's a dance studio, right? Dance with me.

Nonon bolts up in delight, giggling with unbridled glee. ]
Yes! [ She claps her hands before striding up to Love, an almost spring to her steps. She bows before them, offering her hand. ]
I'll lead. ♫
no subject
With reckless abandon, Love takes Nonon's hand and laughs as well, falling into step to let Nonon lead.]
Show me what you've got! [Love is VERY EXCITED. Hardly anyone actually dances when they visit her, so this is a treat.]
no subject
[ She grins. She's shorter, but her boots have such high heels that it'll make up enough of the difference.
Time to Once Upon a Dream Love. Nonon is all grace and smooth with her footwork. There will be no stepping on toes today. ]
