I know. I'm just joking. [About something she shouldn't joke about, she knooows.] I won't be bored of it. Politics aren't really my thing, but I'll be able to go to different places and meet different people and decide stuff. It sounds like there's always going to be something happening. Especially with Shaarnath and the dunamis still being hot topics.
How often did you see the representatives getting involved with stuff before? Sure, a lot of it could have been behind-the-scenes, but Princess Celestia owns her own store and had time to fight in that tournament outside of her duties as representative. I'm pretty sure you won't be doing as much as you think you're going to be doing.
[SHE'S FINE NOW, BLACK!!! THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HER ANYMORE!!]
Anything's possible if you put your mind to it. You should think about doing something too, Black, put those skills you learned from The League to work. It doesn't have to be anything grand like what I'm going for, but this?
[White pats his book.]
This has to stop. Live a little. Try something new. We only get one life, you know, it's bad to just waste it playing safe.
[Not that either of them do that in the least bit, but you know.]
When was the last time you had any fun, Black? Felt your heart pound with the thrill of something new? Yes, I've got just what you need, my dear big brother of mine!
[She just needs to to figure out how to word his everything nicely.]
A blind date'll be good for you. Unless you have something else in mind, but chances are I'm going to set you up anyway.
Are you really not? Or did that narcissus take too much of your heart away? You're allowed to do that here too, you know, if you gave me the go ahead to do... whatever it is I want.
Whiiiiiiite, it isn't like that at all. [ REALLY... Tsukiyama-san is very good-looking but your brother does not get struck by Cupid's arrow at first sight.
probably. ] I'm just... not interested it in. I don't even know what I'd do on a date, or why anyone would want to date me.
[(Mr. Despair has had his date already, he can shove a sock in it.)
But okay, she'll let his cheek go. With a long sigh.]
This is what I mean, Black! You're not trying! There's a hundred things that are good about you, you know? Even if there's two hundred better things about me it doesn't cancel those out, it just means that I have lower standards!
It won't be heckling. I'll find a perfectly nice person for you to have a nice lunch, dinner, whatever with. Someone courteous and sensitive to other's moods, but totally charming. They'll be perfect for a wuss like you.
[And she's just... push against him. White does feel a little bad about heckling her brother into this, basically, but he's not gonna get anywhere unless she pushes him into it first. That's just how it is. And even then it might not change! But at least she'll have tried.]
... And then if you don't have fun or something, if you're really not interested at all, I'll drop it, okay? I'll just get you friend dates or something. I just want you to be able to have someone to fall back on if... you know.
[If she ends up disappearing for whatever reason. She's not sure if he'd want to lean on Leo (not with how he seems to think that the thing in him might've had something to do with it) but if he's able to make a friend of his own, someone that wants to understand him or enjoys his company enough to ask questions... That'd put to rest a few of her worries.]

You're such a downer. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, okay? And I'll have you to back me up if something goes wrong.

Mmm. [ That's the most noncommittal answer he's ever given her.

And what's wrong with being my brother, huh? I've gotten plenty of dates! You're just not trying!

Why would anyone want to go out with me after seeing you? [ ...is what he means, okay?

Uh huh. [ SOOO COMMITTED HERE /sarcasm. ] Just drop it, White. I'm not interesting in dating anyone.
...but if you manage to get me a date with someone, I'll go. It'd be rude to stand them up, especially if you heckle them into it.
