[He rubs the back of his head slightly]

I'm only saying what I think is true.

[chainsawn]

But not a lot of people took the time to say that before. So even if it's true.. not many people say it like you. [ at least she's still smiling. ]

[pengeen]

Oh, really? I can't imagine why not a lot of people have told you that before.

[chainsawn]

.. I guess I just.. haven't talked to many people. [ for a moment she's a little more quiet, her gaze wandering off towards the floor before she tries to sound a little braver again. ]

But it's fine. It's different here. Even while this is going on, I've gotten to know nice people, so.. it's really alright.

[pengeen]

[He's a bit quiet at that for a moment, before smiling warmly.]

I'm very glad to have met you, Urotsuki.

[chainsawn]

[ Now it's his turn to make her blush, clearly-- because for a few moments all she can do is stare as she feels her face lighting up at those words, the words she wants to hear more than anything.. the knowledge that she means something to someone. ]

I'm glad too.. .. Ah, to have met you, that is. [ By now her cheeks are pretty much fully pink. ] It's why I'm glad to be in this tower.

[pengeen]

[Yeah, he's still blushing a bit himself.] I hope we can continue to enjoy each others company like this when this is all over.

[chainsawn]

.. Are you saying.. you'd like to do something even when all of this is over?

[ Since part of her had been afraid of it - that after this, everything would go back to normal, nobody would be paying attention to her again. ]

With me..?

[pengeen]

Of course. [He tilts his head slightly.]

... Is that strange?

[chainsawn]

A-.. ah, no. [ She quickly shakes her head, afraid he'll get the wrong idea, and her cheeks flush a little bit again. ]

I'm glad to hear it, actually.. It's like a dream.

[pengeen]

Like a dream? [There are a lot of things he can get from that. Such as if it's like a dream, then perhaps she didn't have many friends back home and it's very different to have someone want to spend time with her.




.....or maybe it's like a dream because.... she likes him? Either way, he's going to smile and rub the back of his head.]

I'm happy to make you happy.

[chainsawn]

Hmm, like a dream. [ She nods, and while she doesn't exactly explain it, it's.. a little bit of both, really. ] I like dreams a lot.

[ as if to make it more clear that it's a good thing that it's like a dream. ]

That's why I'm so glad that being with you is like a dream.

[pengeen]

Then I'm glad that this is like a dream to you. [Let's hope it doesn't turn into a nightmare...]
