『 Hey hey hey, iiit's Leia...! Sorry I missed you, but I'm pretty tied up at the moment--probably chasing my next story. Leave me a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can. Thanks! 』 |
no subject
As a reporter, I would've loved to be a fly on that wall; but as a friend, I'm sorry someone felt the need to do that.
[She means that sincerely.]
no subject
I'll find out who did it and confront them when I do.
[That being said, he'd much rather move on from this conversation.]
. . . How did yours go?
no subject
Oh, yeah.]
You should ask your friend Rio.
no subject
Rio? She was your date?
no subject
[Since he never thought to mention it before.]
no subject
If you're telling me to ask her, it must've gone well.
no subject
It was great.
[...]
I hope yours wasn't that bad. You weren't a grump the whole time, were you?
no subject
no subject
[She grins teasingly, but spares him more of the same. Her expression turns thoughtful instead.]
By the way, there was one other reason I wanted to see you.
no subject
What?
no subject
She digs into her purse again, taking out a pink pouch of heart candies. Attached to it is a tag that's somewhat damaged around the edges (he could probably guess she's been carrying it around).]
...I didn't want to wait until Valentine's Day.
[She offers it to him, and she'll even wait for his reaction. She can immediately feel why he didn't, though. She glances off to the side as she waits for him to take it...
Why is she even the least bit nervous? (What if he thinks it's dumb?)]
no subject
[He recognizes the pouch instantly, and it occurs to him that Leia means to respond in kind to his "gift" from before. How unusual. Accepting the gift, IV turns the worn tag to read the legend. For the most part, he keeps a neutral expression, but the last line brings out the mirth in his voice.]
"I wrote more than you so I win"? What kind of logic is that?
no subject
[She answers jokingly, nerves calming. She had looked over at some point when she didn't hear any reaction from him at all. She's grateful, suddenly--and glad she kept that particular line in.]
Come on, it's just a joke.
no subject
[At the very least, the thought behind the whole gift has IV less grumpy and more in a good mood. He pockets the pouch, making sure to tuck the tag in so it doesn't hang out precariously.]
. . . So you feel lucky, huh.
no subject
That part wasn't a joke.
no subject
Heh . . . That's good to hear. Then I can say the same about you.
no subject
Really? You mean it?
no subject
[It's part of trying to be a straightforward person. Besides, he's too blunt to throw words.]
Don't look so surprised.
no subject
She speaks quietly.]
I guess I'm not. But still... it's a bit of a relief.
no subject
A relief?
no subject
Yeah. It's nice when someone reminds you that you're... not just tagging along, and that you're actually important.
[There are times when she needs that reassurance.]
no subject
[IV lets the words sink in before he shifts his weight, considering the weight of what Leia's just disclosed. The need for validation – what a surprise.]
Is that what this is? Of course you're important. We're friends, aren't we? I don't invite you to play ViViD with me so you can be a tagalong.
no subject
I... I know that. And we are! We totally are.
[There's a "but" that goes unsaid. He was never really the problem to begin with.]
...Thanks. [She giggles.] I know you'd get your butt kicked without me anyway.
no subject
[To be honest, it probably isn't. He's not too shabby as a gamer, but Leia's got so much more under her belt.]
Either way, we work together well enough. If I were with Ryoga, he'd be complaining all day.
[Despite the teasing remark about his first friend, there's definite fondness in IV's tone.]
no subject
She's right to feel lucky. She's glad she let him know that.]
...When we met, he thought I was an NPC.
