[ Emil releases a soft sigh in relief; in all honesty it'd be a lie to say that it wouldn't be tempting. For once, Emil is glad that he's not really the bold sort. He's too much of a chicken to do anything...
At least he doesn't seem bothered by the nickname. ]
... I don't know if someone would or wouldn't. But...
[ It's not like he doesn't believe in people, he just knows people are capable of terrible things. He tries to chase away a distant bad memory and focus on the present. ]
What do you mean by fun? Do you mean like...a group party?
A party?! A party! Do you think we could have a party?!
[The idea hadn't occurred to her before but it sure is now. She's never been to a real party before! The stuffy noble parties at the palace aren't anyplace for children, so she doesn't get to attend. The prospect of a party here has completely distracted her from the motive.]
[ Emil is taken aback by her sudden exclamation and it requires him to make a recovery of sorts for a moment. But, it's not really so bad, considering everything. ]
Y-Yes...? Maybe?
I don't know, but it's the first thing I thought of when you said we could do something fun together.

Y-yeah.
[ He pauses for a moment. ]
I think. I'm just a little worried...

[She trails off, not quite wanting to put words to it—that someone might be willing to kill another for this. That anyone would be so cruel.]
It's okay! We'll all do something fun together, and you won't have to worry at all.

If we all have a fun party together, no one's gonna wanna do anything bad. It will be lots and lots of fun!
no subject
Yeah, I think you're right. Everyone will be so focused on what's going on at the party, that maybe no one will even try to kill anyone.
[ Emil feels like he made an accomplishment for once in his miserable life. ]
Oh, but Tiki, I've never set up a party before. We'd probably have to prepare a lot in advance, wouldn't we?

[She was kind of hoping Emil would have a better idea of what to do? She seems mildly disappointed more than actually upset over the fact, though.]
You should have good food so everyone can share, and something fun to do... Right? It can't be that hard!
