[wow, he is a completely normal--nah, even here I can't claim that]

[his frown this time is mostly to poorly cover intense confusion, why? would anyone like that? his sweet coat's all bloody and he hasn't got any money right now and she doesn't even play duel monsters???

after concentrating on this for longer than the average person might, he does take a few more steps. but just to the freezer to retrieve more ice cream]

[maege]

[iiiiinching towards her chair]

...Okay, before I sit down and get comfy, are you gonna keep making me do the up and down thing because I want to be ready next time.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

No one asked you to get up. You should take more care with your injury, anyway. Did you rewrap it?

[maege]

[physically resisting the urge to tease him about worrying. you can see the very moment she bites back the snark and instead promptly sits down so she can shove ice cream in her mouth instead of risking accidentally crossing the line again.

bbbbut also just kind of waves her hand instead of...answering for real...... Mae no]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[it IS an awfully thin and all-too-transparent line, and he's not really sorry about it but he's almost sorry that he's not sorry about it? anyway, he definitely prefers fussing about her health to anything involving him and his complicated relationship with feelings because she should take care of herself??? geez]

...If you haven't gotten someone by the execution, find me.

[maege]

Eheh, Iiii'm just gonna preemptively decide that I'm gonna take you up on that later anyway. Actually, I don't think anyone else figured me out yet!

[don't sound proud of it mae for fuck's sake]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Left to their own devices, most people are pitifully poor at noticing things they don't want to know. And with most of the touchy-feely people dead, it's harder to come up accidentally as well.

[he doesn't sound not proud tho]

[maege]

[snorts a li'l. she's trying not to tease him too bad but it's so hard]

So we're just stuck with each other, is what you're saying.

[SO HARD!!!]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[shrugs]

You could always just tell someone to help out. They'd probably be concerned, if you're into that sort of thing.

[maege]

Sure, but obviously I haven't done that, and sooomething tells me you haven't either, and something else tells me neither of us are gonna, sooo.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[well, he can't say she's wrong.]

...You still should take better care of yourself. There's people who won't be very happy if you end up in more than one piece.

[maege]

[gods she wants to dunk on him for his concern SO BAD this is the WORST!!! she figures she can probably get away with, though, soft and lightly,] Sure thing, mom. We can trade bandage-wrapping tips, make sure all our respective pieces stay together.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[wow, where is the concern here? he is just stating facts? he doesn't do more than roll his eyes, though]

If anything more than blood seems like it's attempting to fall out of our wounds, we're going to be in trouble after the medic is executed tomorrow.

[good job reading the mood]

[maege]

Eehhh, I'm sure we'll be fine.

[...]

Hey, can I be serious for a sec? No messin' or jokes like usual, none of that. Actual serious.

[but what if it's sincerity again]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[wary, but]

What?

[maege]

[she's all bright smiles, but her voice is soft:] Sorry if I hit a sore spot earlier. Buuut I really appreciated the company and everything the other night, and I'm seriously glad you made it out alive on the other side of that ballot. I know we're all outta here pretty soon, and I'm sure you'll make it through 'til then just fine and all, but—in the meantime, if you decide you aren't being pestered enough, it's not like I'm very hard to pick out in a crowd, got it?

[surprise asshole you fell into her trap and the trap is FEELINGS]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[well]

[shit]

...Oh.

[maege]

["oh" FUCKING, NAILED IT, THANKS KAIBA

she just kind of spends a couple seconds in AWKWARD UNCERTAIN SILENCE before throwing her hands up, smiling good-naturedly]

Anyway! That's about all I've got, so we can go back to the usual nonsense whenever.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[look, you come to him when you need something destroyed, this is the complete diametric opposite of his wheelhouse

like, he's not even sure what expression he's wearing, but his cheeks are pink and his ears are scarlet and he probably would've been faster at recovering had she cold-clocked him in the face, speaking of awkward uncertain silences]

Ah, um, okay.

I'm...I apologize...?

[maege]

[she's almost starting to think she should just have decked him]

What? No, dude, you're fine. I dunno what you're worrying about but, like, don't even worry about it. ...You good?

[if he passes out because she friendshipped him too hard she's going to tell everyone that she did, in fact, just punch him out]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[automatic]

I'm fine.

[and then he reconsiders, since does someone who's 'fine' spin for this long on a simple statement? ("simple" ha ha) he looks away, no less redfaced]

...You, uh, caught me a little off-guard. I don't get that very often.

[maege]

Like I said, sometimes the surprises around here have gotta be good ones, right?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Still pretty rare...but yeah, sometimes.

[and despite the lack of any sort of mind-altering substance, he smiles, just a little]
