week one ❧ wednesday
[Nino's been searching for Lief in particular! Who...she still thinks is Lewin. This is fine. Everything is fine.
Either way, she's looking for him, something clasped in her hands, and when she finally finds him on the beach:]
Oh...! Lewin! Hello!

Jaffar isn't very good at talking to people. He can come across as really scary sometimes, I think...and he's been through a lot. I won't ask you to defend him when you don't even know him, but...
People trust you, Lewin! You're a good person and you're always helping all of us, so...
Could you talk to Jaffar? And... maybe try to get to know him?
[And if he comes under suspicion for being a shady past assassin and looking like he could stab people, and Lief thinks he isn't... then defend him with her, too, maybe.]

It will not be the first time I have associated with someone who seems "scary" at first.
[A pause, though, before, awkwardly—]
... However, I should tell you, Nino: my name is Lief, not Lewin. I apologize, but I gave a false name when we first met.

[Lief is the best.
A beat, and...she slowly processes that, brow furrowing.]
...Oh. Huh. Okay! I'll try to remember, then. Lief, Lief, Lief... got it!
[Well that was easy.]
I'll get it right!
no subject
Do not thank me yet. We do not know if he will like me at all, after all.
no subject
[It means a lot, okay...]
A lot of people can be a little scared of him, so...
