Re: Locke's Ranch (BlueSlime)
Locke frowned and now it was his turn to chase after Marla. "Hey... don't walk away like that. Marla, you can't expect me to just give myself completely to any one person. I'm going to be responsible for you and a whole lot of other mamono before I'm through. I can't commit to being anyone's mate right now. That doesn't mean I'm not committed to making you the greatest harpy in the land! And it doesn't mean that I'm incapable of love. You're really fun and interesting, and... maybe one day, I could fall in love with a girl like you. But it's just not something that can be rushed with me, or won over just with a few romps in bed - not that I don't enjoy them. The point is that I do care for you very much, I don't want you to feel that you can't rely on me or that there isn't a future for you here, with me."
He searched Marla's eyes, hoping he hadn't hurt her feelings too much. But he couldn't lie to her and say that he was in love with her, nor could he promise he'd be her soul mate eventually. These things just had to come with time, in his mind.

Celes was confused by Raven's words, and blushed at the thought of her and the black harpy being in love. "You and I? Well I... how... how would that work exactly?" Celes asked with curioisity. "I always thought that mamono wanted men?"
