[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.]

[-- Whoop, hey! Except she just laughs, bright and clear, and hurries to keep up with him.]

Oops, careful.

[Dat downward slope on market street.]

Almost got carried away there.

I've got it.

[She does! Crisis averted, aw yeah.]

Sometimes it's nice to get carried away.

[She likes it when he's silly, okay.]

Come on, you can't have missed my silliness.

But I did! That was one of the things I missed the most...! You're so-- cute, Ven.

[And she can say things like that now, o-oh.]

[That makes him stumble a little (but mercifully not dragging her with him) as he goes red.]

W-what?

[Her cheeks are a little pink, but really only because his are. She's not ashamed, although her voice is a bit breathy when she says,]

I think you're cute, Ven.

M-me? Cute?

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Ahuh.

[N-nod. Gosh, you're going to make her bashful about it, Ven.]

[Namine, imagine the brightest, reddest crayon you ever had.

That's the shade of his face now.]

[... Oh, boy. (Really, that boy.)]

-- Are you going to be okay?

[Gosh why does it have to make him even cuter.]

Y-yeah, I guess, I'm just not used to it.

[He scratches his cheek nervously at that, still red.]

I'm sorry.

[She means it, even if she can't help continuing to smile when he looks like that.]

If it helps, I've... always thought so. [-- Oh.] -- And I think it's a really good thing...!

[DID HE JUST GOT REDDER, YES HE DID.]

[-- WAIT WAS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? SHE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE oh man, please don't have a heart attack, Ven...!]

-- Sorry. I'm-- not really helping, am I?

[She's getting more pink, herself. Secondhand embarrassment?!]

I never thought you'd think like that...

[G-geez this is making him doki.]

[Her brow knits.]

What? That you're... cute, or fun to be around?

[Aren't those appropriate girlfriend thoughts--]

Well... yeah.

[Because of her hesitation before.]

[She hesitates, then sighs, eyes lowering.]

... I do. I... really like you, Ven. Just because I was afraid to say it before doesn't mean I've never felt that way. I've always thought you were cute, and fun, and brave, and so, so sweet.

... that's okay, Namine.

[Hey, hey, no eyes lowering.]

[They stay lowered a moment, then cautious turn up toward him to search his expression. Her,]

Is it?

[Is quiet.]

[He nods, giving her hand a reaffirming squeeze.]

Yeah. It is now.

[Her hand squeezes back. She looks relieved, at least.]

Thank you. I'll... just have to make up for lost time.

Well, we got plenty of time for that.

[She brightens.]

Yeah...! I guess we do...!

[Don't mind her if she's struck all over again by how happy she is.]
