[katarina's expression softens quite a bit at that. oh, maria... sweet maria... she misses you so.]
If she were here, she'd like the three of you a lot. I don't know how we're going to get back home, but I hope I have the chance to introduce you, once we do. She's the sweetest, friendliest person I've ever known!
She was born with magic, so... we started at the Magic Academy in the same year. We're in the same class and everything.
[she smiles down at her hot chocolate]
...my brother and his friends are on the student council, and she is too. So I started spending time with her there, and then we spent more time with each other outside of class, and now she's one of my closest friends. I'm really happy about it, because I was really scared of her at first!
...kind of...? If I get in the way of their relationship, he'll either kill me or exile me, but it'll be fine if I don't... I've told him so many times we can end the engagement if he ever finds someone else he loves! But he keeps saying he has no intention of ending the engagement...
And, um, it seems like she's not interested in him right now? So it's probably fine... but you can never be too careful! I know how it'll play out if I become an obstacle!

Hm? Did she do something to intimidate you?
no subject
[that is certainly one way of putting it.]
...so, I'm glad we ended up not being like that! I avoided the Catastrophic Bad Ends, and I made a friend!
no subject
Oh. Because of your horrible fiance who you should kill, right?

[Heavy! Sigh!]
Men are truly awful, Katarina!
no subject
But, still! I don't know how to make him believe that I really don't plan to stand in his way if he falls in love with Maria!

He's nice enough when I'm not in his way, though.

[her voice trails off.
well. less the "i'll kill my fiancee" type.
(not that the jeord katarina knows is like that anymore, but, she's stupid.)]
no subject
[A sigh, and then:]
But I doubt you and I will see eye to eye on this. Maybe we should discuss something else, hm?
no subject
[they can agree to disagree! that's fine!
honestly, katarina only really disagrees because her world is an otome game and That's Just How It Works. in the real world, endorsi is 100% right.]
Let's talk about the other people here! A lot of them are pretty ... quirky, don't you think? But some of them are really nice.

If I were forced to choose - the three of you, and Zhongli.

I've spent a little time with him. He seems really reliable.

katarina remembers lio launching himself at kray and looks off to the side. that's an awful way to go...]
...I think so, too. Oh, actually! I think Luo Binghe would have been able to, too. Don't you? He's also really reliable.
[does she just think this because he let her wear his robes to warm up?
maybe.]
no subject
[With a wistful sigh:]
I suppose he reminds me too much of myself to think that he's entirely trustworthy.
