[unindicative]

[Kasuka happens to be wandering the area, taking in the cool air, when he notices Rena. And although it probably isn't clear in his typically stoic expression, he doesn't like it when others are upset.

And so, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he walks over to Rena.]

Is something wrong...?

[bigassmachete]

[Rena glances up at him for a moment before averting her gaze back down.]

I guess you could say that...

[unindicative]

[He's silent for a moment, before sitting down on the bench beside her.]

... You might catch a cold if you stay out here for too long.

[bigassmachete]

[She continues to stare down at her lap but honestly is a bit glad for the company]

You think so? Mmm...maybe.

[unindicative]

Do you live nearby?

[bigassmachete]

[Small nod]

My cottage isn't too far from here. But...I don't want to go back, not now.

[unindicative]

[...]

Does it carry memories that you don't wish to remember?

1/2

[bigassmachete]

[A clear look of surprise crosses her face. She wasn't expecting him to guess the correct answer right off the bat.]

2/2

[bigassmachete]

[She then closes her eyes and simply nods.]

[unindicative]

[Again, there's silence, as he looks up to the sky, before turning to Rena.]

Then do you have a friend to stay with until you're ready to go back?

[bigassmachete]

[The friend she would have stayed with would have been Spain and she bites her lip for a moment, trying to push the thought out of her mind. A pause and she looks up at Kasuka]

I'm...not sure.

[unindicative]

[He thinks.

....

... It's a good thing he's never exactly been normal, or this would be rather awkward.]

I realize this may be a forward offer... but if you don't have anywhere to stay, my brother and I have room in our apartment.

[bigassmachete]

[She thinks about his offer. Normally it wouldn't be a good idea to go home with some random stranger off the street but today was different. He seemed nice enough and Rena needed to get away from anything (or anyone) that would remind her of Spain and Oz, so going with someone new might be the best option. She manages a small smile.]

If it wouldn't be too much trouble for either of you...I-I would like that.

[unindicative]

I'll call my brother, then.

[Lalala leaving a message on Shizuo's voicemail.]

It's over in Somni, if that's all right...

[bigassmachete]

Mmmm, that's fine.

[It was far but farther from home was actually better in this case.]

[unindicative]

[Shizuo's reply then comes in, so Kasuka returns his attention to the Dreamberry.

Talking-and then Shizuo brings up a certain question. Placing his hand over the mouthpiece, Kasuka looks back at Rena.]

... Could I ask for your name?
