[ there is, honestly, a moment where tseng considers not answering—but despite himself, he understands that avoiding the truth doesn't make it less true. ]
Her name is Aerith. She was here briefly, for just under two months. She has a deep love of flowers and a talent for gardening. The orchid was a housewarming gift to me, and, I suspect, her way of telling me to decorate a little.
I do try to keep myself busy, but I can only spend so many hours in the casino before it becomes obvious I'm counting cards. After that, I often find myself with free time.
It is difficult, yes. I am very used to being occupied for nearly every hour of the day. Coming here and finding myself with so little to do was an adjustment.
But if I were, at my rank, I imagine I would be barred for a week or so and then allowed to re-enter with a very sincere promise that I won't do it again.
I think I've adapted to it, to an extent. Over time I have managed to strike a balance between performing the way they expect a face card to perform, and taking advantage of the... fawning, for lack of a better term, to secure myself some privacy.
I don't know about all that, but I do prefer it when it comes from you.
[ flirting ??!!?? ]
It's true, there is. The access and resources that my rank has afforded me cannot be overstated. Looking back, it was quite a boon when I was beginning to map out this resort the first time.
I can imagine. Though I won't deny that I prefer moving around without anyone paying attention to me. I guess in that sense we've both made the best of our assignment.
I'll come see you tonight for dinner if you're available.

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to. But who gave it to you?

[An attempt to soften what must be sore.]
I'm glad you kept it alive.
no subject
I don't know how to decorate, though. So I think I'll start with the orchid and see where I go from there.

Do I have any questions left?

Is it difficult? Being away from your responsibilities.

[Like being inside a very large cage.]
You should be careful cheating like that. What if you're caught?

How are you handling the attention so far?

[??? flirting]
At least you're used to it now. There is power in that kind of prestige.
