[It's well into the night by the time Luke makes his way back to the apartment where he lives, a small bag with the belongings he brought with him being carried by his side. Unfortunately, it had rained while Luke was out there, so the mattress he brought along was ruined by the time he decided to head back. Thanks to the rain, his hair is also a ( Read more... )

[Hello, familiar voice who she just shared a breakdown with a few days ago. She catches sight of Luke's entry not too long after. Having the memory of the other day still imprinted on her mind, Noel can't help but wonder if Luke is okay now, especially since he just so nearly happened to bring up the former experiment.

But... thinking to bring it up makes her a little uneasy, especially considering how things turned out in the end. Yet all the same, she--

...w-well, maybe she can talk about camping, too.]

I... I've gone once, but... um...

[...oh, screw it.]

[Private]

...are you okay?

Really? How... um...

[... Yeah, screw it. The camping thing was a stupid, throwaway topic anyway.]

[Private]

I'm... yeah. What about you?

[He'd come so close to revealing just what he was - he's not sure what else he can say to her without blowing his cover... So maybe he can shift the attention to her instead.]

[And yet, she's clueless as to what he did come close to saying. Whatever it is... it's probably best to try and not bring it up again, for Luke's sake.]

I'm fine. I... think I'm fine. [...] L-Luke?

[Uh... how does she say this?]

Y-Yeah?

[Oh, jeez, what's she going to ask? "Are you a replica?" "Are you not a real person?" She doesn't seem like the type of person to ask, but sometimes Luke's paranoia can get the best of him.]

[Dude, Luke, she wouldn't even know what that is. B| ...except kind of. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. Noel must. Word this correctly... somehow, because as expected? She's a bit embarrassed in herself from last time.]

I-- [...aughhh] I-I just wanted to... apologize for the other day. Th-That's not how I usually act, and the experiment took me by surprise, s-so... so I promise that won't happen again!

[YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE. The apology makes Luke blink, and that ball of nervousness in his chest manages to melt away a little.]

Huh? Oh, no, it's okay! I wasn't really acting like myself either... Besides, what if you - we do act like that again? So... How about we promise something else?

[He has a point. She can't just guarantee that she'll never act like that again, can she? Especially since this hadn't been the first time--not around him, anyway.]

Something else? ... Like what?

[And now that he's been asked, Luke isn't really sure. What else should they promise? Luke likes to keep his promises, so it has to be something that's possible to keep...]

Uh... How about... we... promise not to tell anyone?

[Noel likes that.]

Sure. We can promise that, then. [...] No one has to know about it.

[Private] cakeblocked May 3 2011, 22:35:34 UTC
Okay. Then I promise not to tell.

Are you all right now, Noel?

[Private] bullet_dance May 3 2011, 23:15:50 UTC
I promise, too. [So even if she doesn't promise that other thing, this is just as good, if not better. It'll just be their secret.]

And... I'm okay now. [Which might be a white lie, but she's definitely not feeling as bad as she was when it just ended.]

[Private] cakeblocked May 5 2011, 18:36:45 UTC
About as okay as I am, I'm guessing. [Which isn't all that okay, but still better than last time. It looked like they were both suffering the same amount, so it'd make sense that they still felt the same way.]

[Private] bullet_dance May 5 2011, 20:48:25 UTC
[No. Not really, but she does feel better talking to him, at least.] What about you? Are you feeling a little better now?

[Private] cakeblocked May 5 2011, 23:45:02 UTC
A little, I guess... I'm sure not shaking and crying anymore.

[Private] bullet_dance May 7 2011, 05:36:42 UTC
That's right. A-And I'm sure that in the long run, none of this will even matter anymore, so... [...that's actually all she can think to say, really.]
