... have you at least talked to her before? [ Geeze, and here he had only been kidding earlier when he'd called her a stalker. ]

action

[redsea]

I have! ...She's nice. [ She mumbles that last part. Estelle reminds her of Hakuei... ]

action

[battering]

Alright, so what's the problem? She'll come with us and you'll become friends. It's not weird. You worry too much, Kou-chan.

action

[redsea]

Yeah... You're right, I'm being silly. Thank you, Misaki.

Don't act strange around her, okay?

action

[battering]

... Uhh. I've got no idea what you're talking about.

[ He's going to avoid her completely. ]

action

[redsea]

[ She laughs. ]

Don't you want to make friends too? Although you say you have many friends, I always see you alone.

action

[battering]

I have friends! We all just do different things. [ everyone in HOMRA, he means. ]

action

[redsea]

[ Yeah everyone's doing adult things while he's playing in the snow. She doesn't buy that for a second! ]

Misaki. [ She's sparkling again. ] Let's make friends together! I get nervous when I'm alone, but I feel like I can do anything when I'm with you!

action

[battering]

[ Wow, that's. Really embarrassing. But she's sparkling at him and he can't possibly refuse. Was this a power of hers?! ]

... Alright. But you have to talk to the girls for me. [ Did someone paint the walls? How interesting. ]

action

[redsea]

[ Yes. ]

Ahaha, okay! [ She wants to make female friends anyway. ...But she's also shy, doesn't he realize how awful this idea is!? Kougyoku doesn't. ] And you, you just have to be there with me. That's all I ask of you. It isn't so difficult, right?

You've been looking very ill lately.[ he's not sick though. ] Going outside, it will do you some good. [ SAYS THE SHUT-IN. ]

action

[battering]

Yeah, yeah, I can do that. [ This was a great idea okay. ]

Wait, I have? [ Ah, now he's blushing a little. Though at times it does feel like he's running a fever whenever he talks with her and his chest aches and he wants to throw up... maybe he's really, actually sick?! ]

If I pass out while I'm out there making friends I'm telling Totsuka-san it was your idea.

action

[redsea]

[ Don't throw up while talking to Kougyoku. ]

That won't happen! I know you're stronger than that.

Anyway, although I am aware it is an athletic competition, I don't even know what the Olympics are. Nor do I know about ice cream and sprinkles.

action

[battering]

Seriously? You've never had ice cream?

[ Priorities! ]

action

[redsea]

No. What is it? Do you have it in Japan?

action

[battering]

Holy shit. Kou-chan, let's go. [ He stands!! ] We're getting you some right now! Ice cream is great, but you really have to taste it for yourself to understand it.

action

[redsea]

Huh!? [ Stands up, but for different reasons. ] But, eating cold food in cold weather... [ doesn't make sense. ]

action

[battering]

Ice cream's good any time! But if you get too cold, I'll warm you up? [ by starting a fire. ]

action

[redsea]

No! [ She covers her face with her hands and turns the other direction. What's with this sudden development!? Just thinking about it is making her blush.

Kougyoku, you're embarrassing. ]

action

[battering]

... No? [ What was even going on anymore. ]

action

[redsea]

... I'm not ready for ice cream. [ stop

she wants to change the topic now but she doesn't know how ]

action

[battering]

Oh... okay?

[ Culture shock? About ice cream... Yata shrugs and sits back down. Kougyoku was weird and he was surprised he still wasn't used to it. That was it!!!

... but now he doesn't know what else to say since he feels awkward after getting all excited to show her something new, so he's back to just staring at the walls. ]

action

[redsea]

[ It's the beginning of forward Yata... She has to be careful.

She glances at him, then stares at the walls like he is. He seemed like he really wanted to take her to eat ice cream. ]

...but when the snow stops or if we go someplace warmer, we must have some. Ice cream, that is.

action

[battering]

[ Forward Yata: the AU. ]

Sounds good... maybe we can do stuff that they only have where you're from, too.

action

[redsea]

[ the AU... Kougyoku looks distressed. ]

I don't know if they have them here... Do you think Exsilium has flying carpets?

action

[battering]

[ Flying carpets... real life Disney princess Kougyoku Ren. ]

Uh, maybe. I mean, I haven't seen any, but maybe someone's got some hidden. [ a beat, and he laughs, ] You really have those?
