[ Let's face it, galaxy: Maya is amazing. Right from the get-go, Kasumi had been captivated by the Siren's poise, her beauty, brains, wit, strength, and not to mention her ability to crush anyone in her way with her powers--wow this list could go on. Just--what's not to like, honestly?
What Kasumi likes best about her, however, is her thirst for knowledge. Wanting to know more, going out into the galaxy (dangerous as it may be around these times) and learning about yourself and about others--the whole thing just sounded romantic. It reminds Kasumi of what it had been like for her when she first struck out into the depth of space after when she was barely old enough to do so, and it's part of why she enthusiastically gives Maya all of the things. Books, mostly, but things like introducing Maya to new types of cuisine and bringing her along on jobs to kick ass and the like were kind of presents, too, and--well, Kasumi is a giver.
It hadn't quite occurred to Kasumi that her admiration for Maya might actually, legitimately be a real crush on her, because, honestly, it'd been a while since she went about romance in that fashion, in spite of all the romantic novels she reads. With Keiji, it was pretty much love at first heist, and the rest was history. Here, there had most certainly been a friendship, first, with some flirtation here and there (mostly from Kasumi's end, and really, who doesn't Kasumi flirt with?)...
It's when she finds herself wondering how Maya's doing during her idle moments, the ones she used to spend diving into a certain graybox, and it's when she can't help but think of her whenever she so much as even sees a book, and it's when she finds Maya sitting with a book that she had picked out for her, and it's when she has an inexplicably elated feeling at the sight that Kasumi herself thinks, Oh.
She slips silently into the seat next to Maya's and leans forward, elbow on the table and chin on her hand, tilting her head to catch the Siren's gaze. ]
What do you think of it so far? Because I'm going to get upset if you say the reunion chapter wasn't well-written.
