[parttimes]

I know. He wasn't thinking about what he was saying.

[A beat.]

I wasn't either, y'know. Sorry about that.

Sometimes you've gotta overreact to keep us all in line when we do things like that. [So like... yeah, she overreacted, but was it deserved? Also yeah.]

[flyingsolos]

I know. You, especially, stick your foot in your mouth a lot.

[ he's forgiven. ]

[parttimes]

Wow, I'm not that bad.

[Wryly.]

You really do like him a lot though, huh? I know you said you did, but still.

[She wouldn't have reacted so intensely if she didn't, he knows.]

[flyingsolos]

... Yeah. I really do.

[ And it's said very quietly. ]

[parttimes]

[He nudges her shoulder a bit at that.]

Good. What's with the quiet tone?

[Sheesh!]

You're the coolest person here, so he's the one who should be sounding all quiet and unsure.

[flyingsolos]

I did just kind of punch him in the face. That might've set me back a little.

[parttimes]

[...A soft snort.]

Y'know.

Somehow, I think you'll be fine. Just a hunch.

[flyingsolos]

... Think he's a masochist?

[parttimes]

[Oh my god.

Dryly:]

I really don't want to know if he is or isn't. TMI for me, thanks.

[Pls, Rion!!]

[flyingsolos]

[ it makes her laugh, at least, even as she shakes her head. ]

Anyway, thanks for checking on me. I feel a little better.

[parttimes]

Always. You know that.

[They take care of each other. That's what it means to be a team.]

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, though. We've got a hell of a lot left to do still, from the looks of that storm, so...

[Nice of a break as the cute romance is, he wants to make sure Rion's ready--he doesn't want her to get hurt because she's distracted.]

[flyingsolos]

Yeah, I know. Nothing's changed on that front-- I'm still good to go!

[ Of course she is. ]

[parttimes]

... Well, good, then.

[And then Rion confesses anyway.]

Guess that's what I should expect from a top idol, huh?

[flyingsolos]

[ She's still going to be good to go!! ]

That's right! If it's an important job, it gets everything I've got!

[parttimes]

[Yeah, well...]

That's pretty much what I expect from you at this point. You've always been like that, huh?

[flyingsolos]

Always, huh...

I guess I have. I don't usually get it pointed out to me, though.

[parttimes]

Nah? Can't imagine why. It's pretty obvious when it comes to you.

[It's a strong character trait!!]

[flyingsolos]

No, the obvious is "carefree, flirty and playful", remember?

[parttimes]

Uh huh, I know, the typical ones. Still, your drive's not exactly a secret either.

[flyingsolos]

I can't really deny that. You're still one of the few people who says it, though.

[parttimes]

Well... that'll change eventually too, both here and back home.

Once people start looking a little closer.

[A shrug! He's not worried about it.]

[flyingsolos]

Eventually is fine.

[ And a sip. Yeah, she's not too worried either. ]
