[wait]

We're friends?

[shE DOESN'T MEAN THIS IN AN INSULTING WAY SHE JUST

sounds a little surprised]

[preowned]

[ you know

normally he'd just think she's funny but after minato, he just

visibly deflates ]

[coastal]

[slkdjf

she looks a little startled - ]

I didn't mean—

... it's not like you could've known but, I haven't had... good luck with people who want to be my friend here.

[ . . . ]

Everyone who's asked has betrayed my trust in one way or another. I - don't think that you would but...

[maybe she doesn't want to be tricked anymore]

[preowned]

Well, I'm not asking to be your friend, I assumed we already were...

[ ah well

he scratches the back of his head. ]

Although I guess a week really was just too little time...

[coastal]

That's not what I...

[UGH.]

.... we're....

[hrrrmggmg she just mumbles]

[preowned]

[ god she's so tsun. ]

[coastal]

[she is incredibly tsun

it's not going to get any better]

.... I wouldn't offer to make dinner for people I hate!!

[iS THAT THE BEST THAT SHE HAS]

[preowned]

That's not the same as being friends...

[ there are plenty of people here he does not hate but he does not think they're friends. ]

[coastal]

Work with me here...

[she's trying her BEST, tsuru]

[preowned]

Okay, okay....

You can make me dinner.

[coastal]

Well now I won't if you act like you're giving me permission.

[this conversation is going in circles]

[preowned]

Fine. I'll just have Lune summon me dinner.

[ he won't pretend that lune will cook for him ]

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

You and Ookurikara both seem very casual with him.

[it's a little weird]

Is he really that familiar to you?

[preowned]

[ oh he looks really pleased in hearing that?? he knew kara and jiji would hang out but having the confirmation from someone other than the latter is good. ]

Oh, yes. We're intimate.

[coastal]

[she probably fucking trips over something where even are they, probably on their way to the kitchen

anyway she totally just fucking loses her balance and is going to eat shit]

[preowned]

[ oh whoops ]

Was I supposed to catch you still?

[coastal]

[shE'S TOO SURPRISED TO EVEN BE EMBARRASSED

well

embarrassed about falling

her face is red]

Why do you think I needed details on your private affairs?! Aren't you a sword? What are you even saying right now?!

Are we just completely miscommunicating again because you don't know how words work?!

[preowned]

[ kara and tsuru has had two extremely different experiences in learning about romance

he just tilts his head, but then it clicks. ]

Oh! Haha, no. We decided that we were very fond of each other, and then people kept giving him these books and we learned how to do things like kiss. It's been quite the experience to learn about human romance! You're all so funny.

[coastal]

[ . . . . . . . . .

once she's back on her feet

she places her hands on his shoulders]

Please tell Ookurikara what you've learned.

[i hate this]

[preowned]

[ he blinks ]

Okay!

[ he sees no reason to not do this ]

[coastal]

[she just

wheezes

and automatically starts to complain as she resumes their path back to the kitchen]

I've been trying to help him figure it out for weeks! But I don't know if maybe it's just because you're swords and I'm human and it's impossible for me to express it correctly -

Oh, congrats by the way.

You're happy, right?

[preowned]

[ he has to pause to think about it

and his expression softens. ]

Yes. He is very good to me.

[ tsuru is very gay for one moon ]

... as for Kara-bou, he's always been the type to be hesitant to try something he isn't already used to. Although if I'm honest, I'm not sure if I would have figured it out as quickly as I did if my situation was different.

[ as in, if he didn't have so much free time over here ]

[coastal]

... I realized I liked him a while ago, so I told him. [thanks lili] It probably doesn't make a lot of sense, since he's a sword and all but... I don't really see a reason to hide my feelings. But Kaoru told him stuff about feelings that I think got him more confused - and I was selfish and asked him to give me an answer eventually.

If you figured out, could you help him? I don't mind either way but...

[ . . . she would like to know. and maybe she would like for him to like her back, but she's not going to tell anyone that.]

I'm glad that Lune is good to you - I haven't spoken to him. I don't think I'll be able to face him until all of this is over...

[preowned]

I'll give it a try. There's nothing wrong with trying to find a little happiness in times like these.

[ he ships it now, he's decided.

although... hm. ]

Why can't you face Lune though?

[coastal]

[she's about to say something about how she's already happy - because it was nice just to be around him. she didn't really need more than that.

but.

at the question she winces]

... you might get angry with me.

[like.

tsuru in particular might get angry at her.]
