[Fukuda, a man of his word, did in fact sleep out on the couches last night! Or at the very least, not in their room. However, here he is now, come to bother Medb out in the common area.]
Your highness, might I have a moment of your time? [He's pretty sure that's how you're supposed to talk to royalty.]
[Well he doesn't know that! He's trying to be polite.]
Haha... I don't suppose I have any particular skills... but it's normal for royalty to have some sort of attendant, isn't it? [He's down for whatever.]
I do prefer being served. Still, you have to be able to do something to be able to attend to me. I don't like or need fools, cowards, or anyone incapable.
... Because of the numbers. Without the hole in my head, I can't ignore them. I'd have had to count every piece of confetti that came out of that box we got. [That's the shortest answer he can think to give.]
[Well it sounds stupid when you put it like that.]
Aah, I suppose that's the long and short of it.
[...] Though, typically a lobotomy is performed on the prefrontal cortex, often through the sinus cavity. So to call the hole in my head a lobotomy isn't entirely correct, as it's in the wrong part of the frontal lobe.
[Well, that is a fair point. Of course that’s also, in a way, exactly the concern he had.]
... I won’t drill a hole in anyone’s head unless they want me to. You don’t have to worry. [So yeah he has probably in fact done this to other people. Apparently willingly???]
[He considers this for a long moment... Well... she doesn't seem horrified by any of this, so he's a bit at ease. Still, she's suggesting going against what he just said. But if he's honest...?]
... As long as there's a good reason. If they need one. Holes are meant to help, after all. [Sometimes people don't understand!! They can't realize or predict how things will be better once they have a hole.]

Your highness, might I have a moment of your time?

Permission granted. Don't be boring.
[ She is, in fact, in a swimsuit. She's in a full summer mood, after all. ]
no subject
I was wondering if you wouldn't reconsider the room situation. Perhaps there is something I could do for you in exchange?
no subject
And what is it that you can do? What can you do for me?
no subject

[ She takes a sip of her drink. ]
Tell me what you can do.
no subject
[This is a normal resume.]
no subject
Is the hole in your head from you or someone else?
no subject
What would you say if I said it was from me?
[Said in a neutral tone to communicate how hypothetical this is at the moment.]
no subject
[ It's clear she doesn't think it's hypothetical anymore.
She takes a sip of her drink. ]
no subject
[He doesn't want to answer if it;s going to lock him out of room privileges!!]
no subject
[ It was not a smart move, Fukuda, when Medb is so full of herself. ]
no subject
... Because I had to.
[That's an answer that could mean so many things and arguably therefore not a real answer.]
no subject
Pitiful nonanswers are denied.
no subject
... Because of the numbers. Without the hole in my head, I can't ignore them. I'd have had to count every piece of confetti that came out of that box we got.
[That's the shortest answer he can think to give.]
no subject
What? You gave yourself a lobotomy so you didn't have to count things?
no subject
Aah, I suppose that's the long and short of it.

Even if he's showing off what a nerd he is. ]
Does it matter that much when the essence of what I said is the point? What other holes have you made?
no subject
[Please don't make him explain more.]
I don't see how this is relevant to the matter at hand.
no subject
[ She is making him explain more. ]
Shouldn't I know the extent you'll go to? If you want to be my attendant or if you want access to my room.
[ Yeah, it's hers, not theirs.
I'm sorry even if she isn't. ]
no subject
... I won’t drill a hole in anyone’s head unless they want me to. You don’t have to worry.
[So yeah he has probably in fact done this to other people. Apparently willingly???]
no subject
If I want you to drill a hole in someone's head?
[ What, then? She asks it very innocently. ]
no subject
... As long as there's a good reason. If they need one. Holes are meant to help, after all.
[Sometimes people don't understand!! They can't realize or predict how things will be better once they have a hole.]
no subject
How else have they helped?
[ What kind of serial murderer are you, Fukuda? Medb wants to know! What's "helping"? ]
no subject
Simple. Wind goes in the hole, then it goes out, and then the world is clearer.
[Simple!!!]
