[Maybe in another universe, Rose goes through an ordeal that teaches her some form of responsibility. Maybe she learns the meaning of ‘danger,’ and stops putting herself in situations where she could get hurt.]
[But she doesn’t hear, and she’s crying like a spoiled child. Even without being a Miqo’te, her hair alone would make her stand out. Not that she realizes, or cares.]
Then I want to go out with you. Your business should keep you in the city, correct?
[She gives Takame a smirk, as if she’s just figured out a puzzle.]
And if things are truly as dangerous as you say, the safest place for me to be would nearby, wouldn’t it?
[He should have expected that, probably. Where Rose looks as though she's cracked the ultimate case, Takame looks like a kicked puppy, stumped for a response. All he needs to look like one is his tail between his legs.]
It may, but it may not. I cannot say what our circumstances may bring about. Our aim is outside of Kugane.
[Though it's been years since he last showed his face in the city, he didn't want to risk the veil hiding the target on his back being pulled off with a civilian in tow. Even if he could protect her easier being next to her.]
[There's something to be said about just how pushy Rose is being, and about how that's likely to impact her safety. But, as someone who has yet to have anything untoward happen, she's blissfully unaware.]
That's all the better. Once we're outside the city, I can make my way home.
[She grins again. This is dangerous. Everyone in her village knows what this look means.]
Well, if it makes no difference one way or the other, I'll make the decision to join you.

sounds like his life

Ah, it... may... but it may not. [Rose pls.]
