[He isn't so sure Kaname would've admitted how badly it went either, if it had. But it seemed worth it to ask the other party at least once.]
Had it gone poorly, that would've made extending an invitation to stay with us rather difficult. You've done so much for us both, Narukami-san. And, we know we're already comfortable living with another. If you aren't opposed to the idea, of course.
[not that he won't run it by Kaname too but that should go without saying?]
...Ohhhh. No, actually, has she really done all that much for them? She doesn't think so, though—it makes her happy to be praised and thanked, of course, naturally it does, but...
She won't leave him on read for too long, tapping the side of her phone as she mulls it over. There's really no reason for her to say no, and he's kind in extending her an offer, anyway. Maybe she can figure out some answers to her questions too, without having to confront either of them—that'd actually be the ideal, right? Less of a chance of getting hurt or hurting anyone by pressing too hard, or...
She misses her LINE stickers, they were cute and easy. Just send happy Kitty-san and that be that. )
Oh, you flatterer! How can I say no when you butter me up like that? Thanks, HiMERU-chan. I'd be delighted to. ♡
( He'll probably ask Yodaka too, so she won't double-check on that... Considering their conversation earlier, it'll probably go fine—at the very least if any awkwardness arises, they can pretend it doesn't exist in front of him. Arashi's perfectly skilled in moving chatter along. )
Your offer's suuuuch good timing too!! I've been having the time of my life peeking around all the stalls, and I totally couldn't help but pick up a basket or two of super cute items...♪
["butter up" he said two sentences. yes he's a charmer but girl have you ever considered maybe you're also just too easy
But she certainly has done plenty for the both of them. Whether or not she'll ever comprehend how much, given each brother's... quirks in communication, remains to be seen.]
Haha. You truly waste no time, do you? That's also comforting in its own way. Should HiMERU rush over to help carry your things?
( she's part of knights she makes everything a little extra sue her )
You can just say you want to see me alive and well, HiMERU-chan, without needing any pretenses.
( not quite mirroring what he told her at never have i ever, but close enough for government work
anyway. she sends a selfie in the plaza, pale pink scarf around her neck and her other arm lifted slightly to show, yes, an actual basket of goodies. not all of these are for her, okay... )
[Damn right Knights is extra. Speaking of which, he might as well use that knowledge:]
Ha. Right away, princess.
[He's certainly no knight. He's hardly even subservient. But he does like Arashi enough to want to see her well, and he has no reason to object to that.
HiMERU appears from around a corner, always slipping in with only as much or as little presence he wants, and as of late, he hasn't exactly been craving attention. He doesn't wave as he approaches her, simply smiling with his hands still in his pockets, nodding in acknowledgement; it may not be the same chill as that initial snowstorm that rang in the winter, but the cold lingers nonetheless. He, too, has a lined coat and hat to fend against it.]
Seeing you in the flesh again like this, and still stunning as ever. [...] Welcome back, Narukami-san.
( Chic as ever. Arashi meets him halfway—if not for her goodies, she might've maybe hugged him, but thankfully for the both of them her arms are occupied. He can have the basket covered by a light-blue cloth—it's the heavier one anyway by a significant amount. Her other one's uncovered and just seems to be a mix of things: bracelets and necklaces, wrapped sweet-smelling pastries, a hand-bound journal, patterned paper, so on so forth...
...She's been busy! Nothing better to get your mind off of things than retail therapy. )
It's so nice to see you again, too... ( Wishing her last memories of him were not corpse-related but you know what? It's fine. ) I wasn't really all that worried about if you were going to be okay since, well, it's not like you couldn't come back to this side on the reg—buuut you totally went back for your little brother, right?
( Rhetorical. )
So, all that to say... I'm glad you're okay. ( A quick glance up and down for him—yeah, she's not particularly wrong in saying that. ) And sorry for worrying you, too. I got you a gift to make up for it, hoooold on—
( It was sort of difficult to pick something out, but the silver bracelet she produces from her basket at least matches with the rest of his jewelry. Nothing too stand-out-ish in design, but sleek. )
