WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

If I'm not supposed to try and understand them, what am I supposed to do?

[ not just about Internet people, but also about your head friend]

[ let's not. ]

Ignore them.

I don't pity the people I want to help, you know...

[ this goes double for Ayer ]

You should want to help fewer people.

[ there's a smile and a light laugh fufufu ]

That's impossible. You know I can't help myself.

Thankfully I have a very smart, well-meaning little brother to keep me in line.

[ he was going to say something else but kind of

stumbles a bit with that and ends up muttering ]

You're too troublesome and too trusting. It's annoying.

[ aha. Was the praise hard to take? ]

I'm sorry, you really have your work cut out for you.

[ her hands reach out to cup his ]

'M strong enough to do it.

[ a little fidgety. Always in that trying to play it cool mode but ]

That's right. You're the strongest person I know.

[ she closes her eyes, relaxed and allowing herself to be completely open to any potential attack, trusting that one won't come. ]

Oi. Of course I am.

[ his mutter is even lower pitched ]

So don't forget about it. I'll definitely topple the captain, too.

I definitely won't! I'll cheer you both on when you fight.

[ him and the Captain. Surely this won't be a problem ]

[ honestly he can't even argue cheering on danchou too but like. ]

Tch.

Fighting or not, you're still the most important to me.

[ as if he needs reassurance she'd drop pretty much everyone to support him ]

You can just be quiet for once.

[ okay then. But she's trading words for physical proximity. Enjoy that lean in. ]

[ he doesn't really go red, but he hunches his shoulders, not pulling away and more relaxed about it than he would have bee... a while ago...

but it's clear also that he's embarrassed ]

[ her hands squeeze his one more time, then she gives him breathing room again ]

I'm really glad I got to see you again.

Tch. Yeah, well, seeing you could be worse.

Try not to think about that. At least things are okay now.

. . . yeah, they're all right.
