[They've done this enough times that there's no shame to be had anymore! Besides, it's just Rion. It's not like either of them has anything the other doesn't.
Ann is just as relieved for a chance to slip beneath the surface of the water, sliding down just enough that it comes up to her chin. Heavenly.]
'Ann's world,' huh? Of course, although— it's never anything as exciting. At least, I don't think so.
[Confusing, though, definitely.]
Just, you know... cavern explorations, dancing skeletons, trying to figure out how you know if you like someone—
... Oh, sure, I thought about it for all of ten seconds once, but Kou-kun's an idiot who shuts down pretty girls without even thinking about it, so I decided to love myself more.
[Brutally honest, but that's about what she expects from Rion, and she smiles a little in reply.]
It sounds like that was probably for the best. But, for those ten seconds... were you really sure of how you felt, or was it ever, you know... confusing?

[Look, she's not even wasting time— it's time to get out of these clothes and into that bath.]

Rion's in the water in under three seconds and already sighing happily. ]
You're going to catch me up on what's new in Ann's world too, right?

[ WHAT. ]
What about liking someone??
no subject
[No way, just a slip of the tongue—]
I mean, it's nothing huge. I'm not... really interested in dating anyone right now, but...
[Isn't there something kind of in between friends and dating? She feels like there should be.]
It's no big deal.
no subject
[ Flatly. ]
You said it, now you've gotta follow through.
no subject
Mmm... I'm not sure where to start, really.
[How about this:]
You and Kou, you're best friends, right?
no subject
[ but friends! ]
no subject
[She can work with that.]
Was there ever a time when you thought you might... not be? Not that you wouldn't be friendly, but that you might be something more?

[ thank god it was only ten seconds long. ]
no subject
[Because that, indeed, sounds familiar— and it's been a lot longer than ten seconds.]
How do you tell which one's real?

no subject
I mean...
[Well, it's complicated, but...]
Sometimes? And then other times I'm so angry that I can't believe I thought about that in the first place.
no subject
Ah. That's the good kind of friendship, actually. Like you care so much that when they make you mad, they really piss you off.
no subject
[If you didn't care, then what would it matter?]
