[[ I don't have a musebox because I only play one or two characters at a time and also thinking up usernames is hard. So let's call this an open post to function as a CMO for Ritsuka, such as people may want it. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ ]]

[ His combat ability still outstrips hers, and as distorted as his Mental Pollution makes his perception, she does trust he won't hurt her. Or let harm come to her. That counts for a lot. ]
[ She brightens a little in turn. Even if she doesn't exactly understand how things like Mental Pollution and Madness Enhancement actually work, she does recognize the significance of breakthroughs like that. ]
[ No, she knows better than to argue. She knows. She understands! It's just still an automatic reaction on her part. Maybe it's not to the same level that the instinct happens for him, but also, Ritsuka is a simple girl. Having anything of hers be called beautiful is wild. ]
[ There isn't any graceful way to say "yeah, but not me" without it sounding worse than she actually means it. Everyone always worries about her more than she thinks they really should, and it's honestly kind of embarrassing, even if it's pleasant at the same time. ]
...eh, I guess you got me there. Thanks for the sentiment.

[The times when he can call her anything but 'Christine' are few, but - he does know who she is. He hopes she knows that too.]
