i have a question

how many of you have experienced changes since arriving here? what are they?

Comments

[battlebound]

then why are you bothered?

( hmph. )

if you're so insistent, come over.

[chichichi]

I'm on my way.

[ And not answering his question. She's not bothered. No, she's excited for him and Red Wine and eager to see how Red Wine's shade looks on him. She can imagine, of course, but seeing it in person is its own unique experience.

It won't be long before Steak will hear a distinct rapping upon his window. ]

[battlebound]

( He should have known... Steak sits up on his bed, placing his book back on the bedside table before opening the window. )

... Yes?

( Is a single purple streak of hair really so interesting, Setsura? )

1/?

[chichichi]

[ Setsura immediately leans forward from her perch to get a good look-see at that purple streak. ]

[chichichi]

[ He might notice she's leaning too far forward and there's a reason for that. Rather than push him and step into the room proper, she abruptly hops forward and into him. If he doesn't catch her, he'll find she's aimed to hug him to secure herself.

This is an appropriate answer to his question. Before he can say anything -- ]

That's Red Wine's color, alright!

[battlebound]

( Of course he catches her. It's just instinct, isn't it? Even as he grumbles, his arms make sure she's safely and securely placed on the floor before they both go sprawling. )

Is that such a big deal?

[chichichi]

[ Perhaps surprisingly, she actually releases him from the hug to dust herself off. ]

Considering how deeply in denial you are about your feelings for him? Of course it is.

[battlebound]

Who said I was in denial?!

( They sorted that out, thank you! )

[chichichi]

[ This look. ]

[battlebound]

( S i g h.

Fine. )

I told him.

( Does he fold him arms and huff like a child being punished when he admits that? Yes. )

[chichichi]

You told him?

[battlebound]

Yes.

( Exasperated. Why do so many people think he's bad at this?

(Well, Steak...) )

We discussed it a couple of months ago.

( By which he means they got into an argument, Red Wine told him and he finally managed to spit it out. )

[chichichi]

[ Because he's bad at this. ]

And you waited this long to tell me?

[battlebound]

( This is true. And, to be fair, the only reason it took so long is because it was an unscripted development OOCly klsdjfk. )

It slipped my mind.

1/2

[chichichi]

It slipped your mind.

2/2

[chichichi]

You know, it sounds to me like you enjoyed my teasing you about it, so you didn't say anything.

[battlebound]

What nonsense are you talking about?!

( Why would he everrrrrr.

...Y'know, except for the part where this seems to be his rapport with too many people. Man's just bulliable. )

[chichichi]

[ Oh, does her expression shift just so. ]

You know what I'm talking about.
