[ She should probably not be encouraging date!things when she Knows what she Knows but unfortunately corruptions mean very, very poor self control. ]
I wouldn't mind splitting one with you. What's your favorite flavor? I'm partial to vanilla and strawberry myself, but I don't think I've had anything I don't like so far.
[ Heading inside and placing the order at the counter then. idk how the order gets taken or delivered but that's hardly important. the important thing is how cute the damn thing is]
[She hums thoughtfully around the spoon of ice cream in her mouth. The last time she saw Hiryuu was... that time, so--]
Well, after my heart was healed I tried to rest for a bit-- but it wasn't long after that we lost Hardy and gained a new member. This is actually the first time we've had a totally new member since Hope and I arrived.
It's a shame I didn't get to know him better. He was here before, so the others knew him better.
But it seems like Justice is doing really well so far. Actually... I'm the one who suggested that name. So I kind of feel a little like a proud parent.
[ Ahhhh. That g word. It's everywhere right now.... ]
I'd be lying if I said I was entirely all right. King and I... were really close. My mother died when I was very young--so I never had any siblings growing up. But... if I had had a brother or a sister... I don't imagine they would have understood me or loved me any more than he did.
...I can't imagine what that must feel like. I'm so sorry.
[Family isn't an easy topic for her and not something she has a lot of experience with-- so she really can't begin to know what that pain feels like. She reaches her hand across the table and gives Hiryuu's a gentle squeeze.]
But I'm glad that he was able to leave the program on his own terms.
[ She moves her fingers to intertwine them with Serenity's and give a gentle squeeze back. ]
I am too. And I know that being with Intensity will make him happy. So--for that much... I'm really grateful.
Have you known anyone that's graduated before?
[ there's an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed--serenity can't see it yet, but that doesn't mean it's not there. she just... needs to work herself toward it. ]
[Serenity curls her fingers around Hiryuu's hand and shakes her head.]
No, honestly I haven't. I feel a little bad that I never got to reach out to those people during the time I was here. But I guess there really is only so much one person can do.
I haven't been able to keep up with all of the new people lately. It's probably the same; there's just only so much time and energy in a day.
[ okay. okay. she needs to... do this. probably. right? but it sucks. she doesn't want to say it. so that's why instead she blurts out suddenly, while holding hands-- ]
... I like you.
[ which is. probably the last thing she should be saying in this situation. but instead she just keeps on going. ]
That is--I think--you're cute, and I like kissing you and... and I just like you. I've liked you for a while and I've been meaning to tell you... but either bad things were always happening, or there wasn't time, or... we were under spells, and... I was scared to, because for a long time, the people I liked kept disappearing and I felt tired, but I... I don't want to just let things slip through my fingers anymore because I'm tired.
[Serenity has had to blurt out her own confessions a number of times. But... this is the first time someone has confessed to her like this. Her heart feels all warm and floaty and tingly.]
...I've liked you for a while too.
[That part has never really felt difficult to admit.]
Part of me knew I should just come out and say it, but... it never felt like the right time. Too early, too embarrassing, too many other things to worry about... other people to worry about... I guess I got in my head a bit and that meant getting in my own way a lot. But honestly I'm... really happy you said it.
Me, too. But... I wish I'd said it sooner. I wasted so much time...
[ And now there's really not that much left. And to be honest, it was selfish of her to have said anything in the first place. Because now she has to follow it up with... ]
Serenity... I... I have something else that I need to tell you, and it's going to be upsetting. And I'm really sorry... if what I said before... if it becomes a burden, in light of what I have to say next. If it is--if you want, I'll ask Silk if she can help alter your memory--so it can be like I never said anything at all.

Wow, everything looks so good... did you pick yet?

[ gotta do it. ]
Hmmm... the parfaits look really good. We could get one and share it—- or two different flavors and split them.
[ you know. just girl things. date things??? maybe!date things. ]

[ She's going to take a picture of it with her phone first, though. It's art.
And then she will take a spoon and gingerly edge some ice cream out from the side. ]

I'm sorry Hardy disappeared. I guess this means you're now handling introducing your new person, then? How is it going?

One of your members recently graduated, right? How have you been?
