He admitted to striking a nerve on purpose. I wanted to check if you felt okay.

[mmmmakes a face]

Ah, yeaaaah, I'm less bothered by him than my own reaction, honestly.

I have to say, I was a little surprised when he told me what happened.

[ simply that. It's clear she isn't scolding him or disappointed. ]

What would you have liked to do differently?

I would've liked to not lose my head. I didn't even realize I had that kinda temper...

[ nodding in agreement ]

Mm. Most people wouldn't until someone touches a nerve. Or smashes it, in this case.

I think I'm usually pretty even-keeled, but... Yeah. I didn't like him saying the shit he said one bit.

Basically, neither of you like being questioned about how you feel about us.

[ parking! ]

Pretty much! Once I figured out why he was bein' a dick I calmed down a lot.

[o shit beach!]

It's a great view, right?

It's wonderful.

[reaching for her hand 'x'!!]

[ taking his, giving it a reassuring squeeze ]

Did you want to have a seat outside?

Yeah. I'd like that.

[countersqueeze, then opening the door on his side and climbing out.]

[ popping the trunk and grabbing a book and a couple of blankets, offering him one. ]

I'm not sure how illness effects work, but let's not take chances.

Yeaaah, probably for the best.

[wraps himself up in blanket cooperatively.]

[ picking a spot and smoothing the other blanket out on the sand.

When she takes a seat, she reaches up for him to join her ]

[he takes her hand and settles as well, carefully, then leans against her.]

[ warm! She huddles close ]

I wanted to thank you. For a lot of things. But also to reiterate that I am taking your feelings seriously.

...Thanks. It means a lot, to know you are.

And in putting myself in the opposite position of a confession... I have a greater appreciation for what you said.

Oh, did you tell him?

[ Gosh, he's really sharp. Glances up to get a better read of him, before answering: ]

Yes.

[earnestly excited for her?]

How did it go? Is it okay if I ask?

[ Blinking as she's trying to process his reaction. Why was she so worried he'd be troubled by it?? ]

He accepted my confession with a piano piece.

[he has the capacity for jealousy but he hasn't ever thought he'd get to keep her for himself, so,]

Whaaaat, that's super cute!

[ Shoves her face in his chest, turning red ]

I had to figure out how to search for the song by melody to figure out the title. It was... I just... I was fully prepared to be in the background, because Izanagi is here and...

Then it didn't happen.
