Room 412; Wednesday Night.

[bound2blade]

Setsuna hadn't really done much of anything all day, outside of classes and that disasterous meeting with Deadpool that was about as helpful as blind amputee on the battlefield (although, really, they could make for good shields...). Stilted metaphores aside, this left Setsuna on her bed all evening, into the night, just staring at the ceiling,

Late at night

Having not heard from Setsuna, Ami steeled her courage and tentitively knocked.

Setsuna rolled her head over to look at the door, not caring enough to get up to answer it. "Come in," she said idly, not really caring who it was as she turned back to stare at the ceiling. Part of her was hoping maybe it was Alphonse; he was always good to talk to at times like this. Maybe she should do that tomorrow if it wasn't him now...

Ami slipped in and came in. Setsuna may be the warior in this pair, but ami had her moments of quiet fortitude.

"Are you hiding from me?"

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

Setsuna grew quiet for a long moment as she watched Ami come in, and then shifted, sitting up, perching herself on the side of the bed. It was a while, thinking as she stared a little at the floor off to the side before she answered.

//"Believe me, if I wanted to hide from you, you wouldn't be able to find me."//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

//"Good thing you are not hiding then... "// Ami shifted from foot tofoot uncomfortably.

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

Technically speaking, after all, hiding and avoiding were two seperate things. //"So..."// Setsuna said, shifting over to make plenty of room on the bed for Ami and nodding to indicate that she should sit down. After all, this was already uncomfortable enough without having to stand through it. //"You wanted to talk?"//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

Ami perched on the edge of the bed, her hands in her lap. Very interesting lookinghands if one judged by the way she studied them intently.

//"I think tiis a goodidea under the circumstances, don't you?"// Ami looked up, searching Setsuna's face for a clueof what the other girl was thinking.

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

Setsuna looked away. //"It is, I suppose, if you know what to say. Which I don't. At all..."//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

//"I see"// Ami whispered.

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

Setsuna's sigh was almost a wince. //"I mean, it's not like I can keep apologizing, because you asked me not to. But that's the only thing I feel I can do."//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

//"And you are really sorry?"// The emphasis was on the 'sorry', not the 'really'.

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

Setsuna was quiet for a long moment before answering. Really, what would be the harm in being honest about it now? Ami was there; the situation was there. She'd be leaving for Japan for the weekend, so Setsuna wouldn't even have to really have to avoid her to deal up front with the consequences. //"In that I overstepped a boundry and made things more difficult for you, Ami, yes, I am sorry. But....I don't think I can say that I entirely regret what I did...."//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

//"I made things difficult for myself. I... want to understand what happened, and i think... i need to talk through it for that..."// She was again studying her hands. //"I do not believe i can say, with honesty, that i regret the experience either..."//

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

And Setsuna hated herself for the little leap in her chest that she felt when Ami said that last part, her brain starting to fill with what she did remember of the kiss and she forcefully shoved them away. Right now was not the time to be thinking of things like that at all. //"Listen, Ami, it wasn't right for me to have done what I did; I had no right to displace my confusion about...things like this onto you like that..."//

Re: Late at night

[slr_mercury]

THat caused Ami to look up at Setsuna, a bit perplexed. //"Why are _you_ counfused?"//

Re: Late at night

[bound2blade]

And Setsuna drew in a deep breath. //"I was confused. For a very long time. After the other night, though, I...I'm not. I almost think I needed something like last night to make me realize how I felt about....I just struggle with it because it...it's wrong..."//
