Of course it is! ... Probably?! But the guy's always tellin' me the study more and tellin' me to so this and that too! [ But... but he misses him so much here. It's just easier to reflect on it negatively. And it's that, more to whatever frustrations he's voicing here, which makes him clench a fist. ]

[ribbonbon]

...Maybe it's just his way of saying he cares about you.

[Pilouette doesn't have siblings of her own, but she starts to think about her closest friends back home and how they would nag her about little things here and there. As much as she would pout about it, she knew they were usually right.]

Some people are weird like that. You know?

[rashness]

'Course it is! [ But there's bigger problems with Yukio but... no, no. He's much better off not being here. Rin somewhere between groans, growls, and sighs before he closes his eyes and runs a hand over his face ] I mean, we're brothers.

[ribbonbon]

It's like I said, I bet he's really glad to have a brother like you, even if he doesn't say it all the time. Like, even if he did show up here, he probably wouldn't need me to tell him how lucky he is.

[She would hope so, anyway. She doesn't actually know anything about Rin's brother beyond what he's told her. Really, she probably shouldn't assume so much, but...]

[rashness]

But if you say it, it's not like he can even deny it.

[ Why is she being so defensive of Yukio...

Does she know something he doesn't... ]

[ribbonbon]

...Okay. If I ever meet him, I'll be sure to tell him. And I'll make sure he really knows it!

[She had actually been trying to reassure Rin, but...the way the conversation has gone reminded her of a conversation she had had earlier. Spending all that time trying to convince Rin that his brother just doesn't say how fortunate he feels to have Rin as his brother reminds her of how many times she's only remembered to tell her friends how fortunate she was to have met them when it was too late to do so.]

...Hey, Rin? I'm...I'm really glad we're friends. Just so you know.

[rashness]

[ Good, so she acknowledges it! And she'll do it, so that'll be?! --- No, he doesn't want Yukio to show up here. But then he hears the second part of that, and he blinks a little bit... and flushes ]

O-oh uh... me too!? Yeah, me too. I'm glad we are too.

[ribbonbon]

No, like, really! I just like...I don't say it enough. So I just wanted to make sure and say it while I had the chance.

[She wonders for a moment if it was weird to just say that out of nowhere like that. It probably was. She can't help but feel the tiniest bit awkward.]

A-Anyway, you probably want to like, take a breather or whatever. After all, you've been doing a lot so...um, yeah.

[rashness]

You've been doing just as much. [ right? yeah? Of course they've both been working hard out here. But he swallows, knowing he made it awkward and... ] I mean, not any less or more than me, right? We're together in this. [ ... ] We're teammates, here.

[ribbonbon]

Teammates... [Pilouette smiles a little. Friends and teammates. She likes that.] Yeah, I guess we are! Maybe that means we should both take a little break! ...Or does it mean we should both get back to work...?

[rashness]

[ He holds up a fist for a fistbump, here ] Let's have some sort of snack and then get right back to it.

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette returns that fistbump. She still doesn't fistbump much, but...it's kind of cool. She could get used to it.]

Sure!! I...might have some stuff in my bag. Gimme a second...

[She walks to a table with her messenger bag sitting on it and starts fishing through it. With everything going on, a few minutes just sitting with a friend could be just what she really needs to perk up.]

[rashness]

You do?! Awesome! Let's do it!

[ and he licks his lips here, getting up close to her, wagging his tail behind him. He actually follows her closely, eager to see what she's got, so they can eat... and get right back to it.

AND THIS IS A GOOD POINT I THINK TO END A THREAD THIS OLD they ate and had fun and then the sunset ]
