“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

[No, she'll be civilized and plate her selections, even if that also runs the risk of them getting cold while she's busy being cerebral.]

I'm sure that's part of it, [she says loftily.] We're also running out of reasons to decline invitations. I don't have work or classes occupying my time anymore. Would you believe someone who said they had other things to do?

[And there are other things that she knows about herself, that because there are people she's closer to no, the envy of looking in from the outside would slowly rot her the longer she dealt with it.]

[ Girl........ Oria looks at her after eating another piece of meat, fresh out the pot. ]

Have you like, considered refusing and just saying "I don't feel like going"?

[ophidie]

... Of course. I don't know if you read the room very well.

[There's just enough of a flinch that her back teeth grind together, and just enough time to say something sharp that isn't necessary. Of course, it very regularly isn't a case of not wanting to go.]

But I was actually busy, when I had other responsibilities. That's neither here nor there. I suppose the real answer to your question is I still don't expect a genuine invitation.

[ Oh?

Oh???

Oria looks at Miharu curiously because of her reaction and smiles a little more, laughing a bit. Unfortunately for Miharu, Oria would rather see her unrestrained. ]

Well, yeah. That's the thing. We don't really have other responsibilities like that anymore, since we can't do them even if we wanted to, so you can't use them as an excuse. Maybe if you planned on running some dungeons with other people or collect materials, then that's fair.

[ But that aside, it just sounded like they were just even more excuses. ]

People here are probably more genuine than what you're used to. So if you'd like to be invited to something like this again, I think it's fair to let the host know that it was a great party and that you hope to be invited again in the future. I'm sure the invitation to this one was genuine too.
