No, you aren't, but Eleanor will

[brothersboots]

[When Edna gets back to the ships, her brother is going to pay. It was bad enough when she was stuck with the dippy princess Alisha. She was a goody-goody to the fullest, always rushing ahead and never thinking about her own safety or how it will affect those around her.

But this über goody-goody is too much. She doesn't take no for an answer and she just keeps talking and talking and talking about things that Edna doesn't care about. ]

You're one of those "look on the bright side of things" people, aren't you? Has anyone told you how annoying your voice is?

[Pulling punches? Not her job. You've met her brother, right?]

all according to keikaku (spoilers in tag)

[humene]

[Eleanor should know what to expect. She's been around Eizen. She's been around Magilou. She's been around Velvet.]

[And yet, here she is, completely caught off guard. It takes her a few solid seconds to compose herself after Edna's response. When she got back, she was going to have a very long talk with Eizen.]

O-of course! Looking for the positives costs you absolutely nothing and makes your life better. There's no logical reason not to!

[Shes awfully insistent on this positivity for somebody who travelled around with the Lord of Calamity, but hey.]

[And then afterwards, she pouts.]

My voice is not annoying.

Cry, little exorcist, cry

[brothersboots]

[To be fair to Eleanor, she doesn't know Edna. The Earth seraph looks sweet and kind on the surface. Part of it is definitely her clothing. (Thanks, Eizen.)

But, honestly, she's pretty mean to those who annoy her. And Eleanor fits that bill.]

It makes you an easy mark and leaves you open to attack too. I'm surprised you haven't learned that if you've hung around Eizen any. And pirates.

[The Lord of Calamity is a different story. Edna still doesn't know what to make of her.

But that pout? Better that Mikleo's.]

Elly, your voice is like nails on glass. I'd rather listen to Meebo's screeching all day.

[Especially since she's usually the reason for Mikleo's screeching.]

to be fair, it's not hard

[humene]

W-well, maybe that's a good thing!

[Eleanor can only stutter out a response. In five minutes, Edna had already managed to get her completely unhinged.]

[It should have been a harder feat, considering her travelling companions, but Edna has an edge that she's not used to. Her pout only intensifies.]

After all, it's better to fight nobly and keep a bright outlook, is it not? Even your brother has a creed he adheres to, does he not?

[Maybe she could come out on top still. But it was looking very, very unlikely.]

You know, the things you're saying could be taken as rather cruel.

Well, it's Edna. Everyone cries. Except for Lailah?

[brothersboots]

Yes, well, everyone needs a straight man, I guess. It makes life more amusing.

[Hello, Eleanor. Welcome to being the butt of Edna's mean sense of humor. Please continue. It keeps things from hurting for a minute.]

Eizen does his own thing. That's his creed. And if yours is to be a patsy, then that's your lot in life, I guess. Not mine. I'd rather look at things as they appear to me, and that's even after looking under the surface.

[Eleanor isn't prepared for Edna. She never will be.]

As for what I'm saying being taken cruel, I suppose that depends on your outlook. I'm a realist. I don't sugarcoat it. You want that, go talk to Sorey.
