Comments

[inheiritor]

N-no! Certainly not! I did not mean to imply...!

[Throw him a bone here.]

[arseid]

Then please believe me when I say that I meant it.

[ close enough of a bone?? ]

[inheiritor]

[... Close enough.

He tries to settle, though his cheeks are still red.]

I... yes, of course... I believe you...

[Ah...]

It is... a little embarrassing, though.

[arseid]

I... understand it's a little outside of your usual wardrobe...

But I like it on you.

[inheiritor]

I would not wear this on any other day, it's absolutely true.

[Why.]

That said... if you like it, it... is fine that I'm wearing it now.

[They're so awkward.]

[arseid]

... So long as I'm the only one to see it.

[ FIRMLY. ]

[inheiritor]

[O.... oh??]

I...am afraid your classmates have already seen it, as it was their idea--

[SCRUPULOUSLY HONEST.]

[arseid]

...

How many of them.

[inheiritor]

[A...h....]

A...few of them...

[arseid]

Names, please.

[ She's going to have Words. ]

[inheiritor]

Ah...well, it was Miss Claussel's idea... and Miss Reinford and Miss Orion were there as well... Mister Schwarzer and Mister Worzel were there, though I believe it was more in their attempt at, ah, damage control...?

[arseid]

... Ah. It would be Fie.

[ A VERY LOUD SIGH. ]

I apologize, Seliph. I'm sure she meant no harm, but she can be rather forceful.

[inheiritor]

[Aw, Laura...]

I believe, in fact, that she was doing this for you.

[arseid]

Eh?

[ no wait she looks genuinely surprised by this ]

[jokered]

[of course. it's the exact outcome he expect from this particular situation, so... it's fine. totally fine.]

A little more at ease now?

[okitactless]

I won't! [who would believe that] Look, you can even hold onto my scarf to keep me steady!

[the scarf that is

currently around his neck

because THAT would not end in disaster either]

[arseid]

Absolutely not.

[ And she's moving to decisively block his path, except it's a little too close and--

Yep, there sure is a edge she's stumbling over.

BYEEEEE?? ]

[alcobrawlic]

Close enough to it, at least. I'll manage.

[jokered]

I'll take it.

[and with a quiet hum:]

Maybe we can continue that conversation now.

[skiouros]

Don't you know where everything is in your own kitchen?

[ She gets a very, very skeptical raise of his eyebrow before he tries every cabinet on the left. ]

[scooptimistic]

Are you kidding?

[ ... she says so cheerfully. ]

I usually eat at work, so kitchen stuff doesn't really happen!

[ But they're still in one of the cabinets on the left. ]

[alcobrawlic]

I guess we should. There's really no point in putting it off.

[chromogenic]

Nahhh, no way!

[ Yes way, it's absolutely crazy of him to offer, and she'd be even crazier to take him up on it, but he finds himself wanting to do it for her anyway. It's his way of trying to feel like he's worth something, so there might be some deep-seated selfish motivations here, too. More than that, he can just relate to her story about wanting to be there for your best friends. ]

I, uh... heh-- I-I like hanging out with you anyway...

[ Suddenly, he feels a little more aware about their intimate method of holding hands. He swallows and presses on. ]

--and your friend needs you, too, right?! Imagine how fun it would be so see each other again! I know I'd be happy if you, uh... [ he just trails off there, singing along to the song ] thiiis time I'll, lalalaaa~

[jokered]

[he nods. that's good, because akira hates beating around the bush, anyway. sara gave him this opening, so...

he's going to take it?]

I don't really care about that stuff. Having to hide things or be secretive doesn't really bother me.

[just. for the record. he knows it might not be the same for her, he's just trying to make sure she knows his stance on it right off the bat.]

[cakemyheart]

[ she can't help the little grin that tugs at the corners of her mouth. For a photographer, and she's known a lot of them, Prompto sure is awkward, a lot less sure of himself than most but also a lot more willing to get to know her.

It's sweet. ]

... I'll get back to you on that. But I think probably... it wouldn't hurt, doing that with you.

[ After Makoto probably grills him thoroughly. ]
