[There may be something to be said for both their dedication that they're still friends, even now. At first, she wasn't sure quite how they'd manage it, but... she'd been more than willing to try. He was too important to her for her not to. Still, it stung, remembering how she'd failed him, and unfortunately that did tend to happen when they were around each other. That said, she's always happy, truly, to see him. She's got that to look forward to at the moment, at least, as she waits.]

it's just a teaser it will get better uwu

[wingblades]

And I'll do my best not to be dumb this time.

uwu ! OF COURSE OF COURSE just that style for the model kind of... weakens the expression ability

[lethechained]

[-- Silly. ... Pap.]

Is that a promise, too?

how so?

[wingblades]

Yep. A promise.

WEH I will rant tomorrow, gotta sleep. ;; ilubbg'nightc'yaabesaaafe<33333333333333333333333333333333

[lethechained]

[She smiles at first, then-- slowly removes the other hand that was on his back to offer a pinky to him, instead.]

[Since they're both making promises and all.]

rant away <3

[wingblades]

[He grins and links his pinky's with hers C:]

<3333 HEE well I think it's actually got to do with the ratios within the face, in large part--

[lethechained]

[She curls her pinky around his, bobbing their hands up and down just once before letting go again - or at least uncurling her finger. She wouldn't exactly mind holding onto him whatever way possible.]

/late

[wingblades]

[Well, he doesn't let her go either, immediately going back to linking her fingers with his.]

Sheesh, I feel like a weight is off my shoulders.

ffffff <333333333333333333333333

[lethechained]

[Which she's all too happy to reciprocate, oh.]

Hee. Me too. ... Thanks, Ven.

[wingblades]

[Phew. Grin.]

Let's get some ice cream like we usually did.

[lethechained]

--! Sure...! That sounds great.

[Oh man, this is so wonderful. She's smiling really brightly. Good times are here again--]

[wingblades]

Let's pack this up then.

[They still got cupcakes to spare. THESE KIDS AND DIABETES.]

[lethechained]

[CLEARLY THE ONLY EDIBLE THINGS IN THIS UNIVERSE ARE SWEETS.]

Right.

[She'll just help him pack things up, then. (Darn it, she can't still hold his hand while she does, can she--)]

[wingblades]

[He's offering his arm to her afterwards C: ?]

[lethechained]

[C: !!!! Definitely immediately slipping her arm through his. Sure is a happy little sigh, there.]

[wingblades]

[He places his other hand on top of hers too.]

... it's nice to be with you again.

[lethechained]

[Gosh, if it weren't so uncomfortable to turn her hand over, she'd hold his, too. She's feeling kind of clingy.]

It's good to be with you too, Ven. I... really, really missed you.

[wingblades]

[He smiles and leads the way, more relaxed this time.]

[lethechained]

[She'd practically be grinning if she were the type to grin. Hopefully he won't mind if she. Maybe leans against him a little as they walk.]

[wingblades]

[That makes him glance at her before pulling her closer. Better?]

[lethechained]

[Better. She looks over at him to offer a shy little laugh, smile still bright.]

[Man, she likes him.]

[wingblades]

i kept thinking maybe you wouldn't agree after everything that's happened. Not sure if it was obvious but I was kind of in a mess for a while after it.

[lethechained]

[She falters, smile growing wry.]

You... definitely seemed different. To be honest, I... thought maybe it was just me. [Making him uncomfortable when they were around each other, you know. She looks apologetic, even now.] But-- I can't imagine ever-- [... Oh. She should probably be embarrassed to admit this, shouldn't she. Her face lowers a little, cheeks darkening.] ... not wanting to be with you.

[wingblades]

[He breaks out a laugh at that. You know, that silly, goofy laugh he has as he gives her hand a squeeze.]

Naw, it was me. I was definitely acting nutty.

[lethechained]

[Such a sweetie. That gets her smile bright again, and she can't help laughing along with him, albeit more quietly.]

I can't exactly have helped. I... hope it wasn't too hard on you.

[Didn't do anything too silly, Ven?]

[wingblades]

Well, I was barely hanging on there.

[Doot de doo leading up the stairs back to the train.]
