Fair enough. You going to bundle up, then?

[ lying in bed is valid and all, but also, draft. ]

[successives]

[She's about to say it doesn't matter, but - that sounds a little bit pathetic, even to her.]

Yeah. Soon.

[recrypt]

Hmm.

Hope you don't mind if I stick around until it happens, then. Or at least until you get some better company than me in here.

[successives]

...Why?

[It's not meant to be biting. It's genuinely curious. She doesn't know if she would do the same thing if their positions were reversed.]

[recrypt]

I don't ask you why you come around and ask me things, do I?

Maybe I just wanted you to feel like you were in emotional debt to me so I could cash it in at a later point.

[successives]

[Somehow, it makes her laugh, even if there's no humor in it.]

You're a really bad liar. Just so you know.

[recrypt]

Hmmm, it served me well enough where I come from.

Maybe back then I didn't have people like Akira and Chuuya ruining my reputation.

[successives]

I've never talked to either of them about you.

[Excuse denied!]

[recrypt]

Perhaps you're all just intent on believing the best of me.

[successives]

I don't really care that much.

[It's blunt, but it's not biting. Right now, she's more disinterested than she would normally be.]

[recrypt]

That's fine. There's more important things to worry about, right?

[successives]

[She doesn't say anything to that, but she curls up a little bit into herself.]

[recrypt]

[ ... ah. hm. ]

... Look, tell me seriously. Should I go get someone?

[successives]

[She shakes her head.]

It's fine.

[recrypt]

... if you say so, then.

[ if further conversation isn't going to be much of a thing, she'll just go back to taking up a quiet vigil, until someone who actually belongs here shows up. ]
