[Brittany sits in a comfortable armchair, legs crossed, as she smiles into the camera.]

[Those who know her well enough might notice it is not her usual, perpetually-cheerful grin, but one of those smiles with a hint of sadness behind it.]

[Those who don't know her well enough would be more interested as to why she's holding a notepad and wearing

[Have a Noin who seems to be a little worried behind her own smile - but she's worried about you Britt. Poor thing - how could you ever have a sad smile about...anything?]

Are you sure you don't need one of mine instead, Brittany?

[SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT]

[/STORY]

[/STICKING TO IT]

What do you mean?

Re: [Video]

[codename_fire]

[Yeah no. Mom Noin is not sure about that because it is Brittany. When Britt is sad, she knows. It's because her brain has been broken a lot ;w;]

Is something wrong? You seem... off.
Have you been taking care of yourself?

Re: [Video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Of course.

I mean, I have to eat out a lot since Yusuke still won't let me near the kitchen...but at least the food's good.

[Lineface goes here.]
I...that's not what I meant.
[A humming sound as she tries to figure out how to say it - you cannot escape, damn it!]
Is something bothering you - did someone upset you or - ?

Re: [Video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Not exactly.

At least, he didn't mean to.

Re: [Video]

[codename_fire]

[Oh sweety...Noin's worried look comes out more obviously now, mildly defensive. Who hurt Britt?]
But whoever he is, he still hurt you...?

[Mother bear mode coming on...]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Physically, no.

[Sigh]

Last week, James told me about his old girlfriend from his homeworld...and a few days ago, she showed up on the ship.

[B-brittany. Noin holds back her anger, genuinely worried, now. The girl may seem to be shallow, and have her own share of problems but...agh. That..]
Have you told him how you have felt about the situation? Being honest sometimes is all you can do - you have a right to be selfish, you know...

Re: [Video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Like I said, we'd had a talk last week. A really hard one.

I haven't seen him since she arrived...but it's okay. I wouldn't make him have to choose between us, anyway.

Re: [Video]

[codename_fire]

[See this, this is Noin's heart being sad for you. But she speaks as warmly and with a tone to try to convince the younger woman of her support.]
Just...don't sell yourself short, alright?

Do you want to do anything to keep your mind off of it?

Re: [Video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Don't worry about me. I know he's totally missing out on a good thing....

[/half-joking]

I'd kinda been hoping that's what work would do. Listening to other people talk usually helps with that sort of thing.

Re: [Video]

[codename_fire]

You...know that just means I will anyway?
[A soft half smile. Oh Brittany...]

But if that will help, I won't keep you - I have a feeling a lot of people here need someone like you who can listen as well as you do - make them laugh too.
[See, Brittany, you have wonderful good points - that boy of yours doesn't know what he will be missing...]

Re: [Video]

[lovesagoodmisog]

I know. It's what makes you all Noin-like.

...oh! Actually, there was something I wanted to talk with you about.

Re: [Video]

[codename_fire]

[Right on target - Noin laughs warmly. It's easy to smile or be befuddled with Brittany.]

Oh? Do tell.

Rikku and I are dying to know where you got those sunglasses of yours. You know, the ones you were wearing all last month?
