video ● tenth reflection

[sweeperesque]

[At first, she's quiet for a little while. She opens her mouth as if she knew what to say before but now that the camera's rolling, she's second-guessing it. And so there's a pause before she starts talking.]

Matthew's gone.

[... and she looks a little confused, as if she never expected to say those words. They sound so foreign.]... sheesh. Can

Comments

[shard_finder]

I'm sorry Saya.

[sweeperesque]

[She's getting sick of hearing that. So she sighs.]

Don't be sorryyyyyy.

I'm fiiiiiine!

If anything, things'll be better off this way. I don't have to spend my day chasing around a stupid thief or have my nights interrupted whenever he feels like breaking in because he's bored.

See? Better for me now that he's gone! Really!

[She's spent a lot of time coming up with this argument. Can you tell?]

[shard_finder]

[She really was though!]

He was your...[Friend, boyfriend...uhh] you two were close.

[She quiet for a few seconds, especially since she believes that most of it, is Saya's way dealing with it. Trying to convince her that she's going to miss Matthew is pointless.]

I'm hungry, are you?

[Oh no not at all...*coughs*]

[sweeperesque]

But we weren't close. I don't know where people are getting that idea! I hardly knew a thing about the guy.

[And then she sighs at the offer. Kagome, she's been offered food so many times by now, but the answer's always gonna be-]

What do you have in mind?

[shard_finder]

[Kagome tried not to smile. If you say so Saya.] Thieves can be tricky that way.

[She blinked and thought about it.] Well...what are you in the mood for?

[She's quiet even longer and suddenly grins at the other girl.] Maybe we can go somewhere and practice shooting after dinner. I've been wanting to do that for awhile.

[sweeperesque]

Don't I know it. [She grins in return.]

And... how shocking would it be if I were to say I'm not particularly hungry? Not one of those girls who drown their sorrows in food, sorry to say.

But... shooting sounds like fun. If you want to eat, we can do that, and then we'll go out for some practice.

[shard_finder]

[She giggles.]

Oh it'll be really shocking. [She laughed at that and raised an eyebrow at the comment. Drowning..sorrows huh. So she was right!]

I am a little hungry but I can eat after.

[sweeperesque]

Ain't it? You wouldn't believe how many offers I've gotten to go out for food, Kagome! Do I really look that down?

Hmm, then we'll grab a quick snack on the way and then work it off. Then grab a solid dinner after!

[shard_finder]

[She laughed.] Well...no but you're so tough that I'm not surprised that you aren't showing it. And...well everyone likes you, Saya and we just want to make sure. A lot of us thought that you guys were close friends that's all.

That sounds good! Where do you want me to meet you?

[sweeperesque]

[She rolls her eyes.] Let me clarify something, Kagome. I'm not sad or lonely. If I am, then I'm doing something wrong. Wanna know why? It's because Matthew and I? Not close. Promise. Barely even friends. It'll just be boring for a while without him around.

How about outside Vita Apartments?

[shard_finder]

[Her surprised was clearly written on her face.] But...[She sighed and let it go before grinning at Saya] Well fine then. But you are my friend, no matter what you say about it! [She winked at the other girl.]

Oh good! That's where I live, so I'll see you in a few minutes then.

[sweeperesque]

[And Saya's surprise is just as easy to see. For that friend comment? She doesn't really have an answer. But she just smiles.]

Huh! Weird, didn't know we stayed in the same place. See you in a bit.

[click!]

[Video-->Action]

[shard_finder]

[Kagome smiles as well.]

You live here too. That's good to know!

[She smiles and heads down to stand in front of the building, with her bows and arrows, as she awaits her friend.]

[Action]

[sweeperesque]

[Saya took just a bit longer as she had to make sure that her gun was fully loaded, but she was quite satisfied to find that she was only a bullet or two short since her last practice.

She arrives at the meeting place with a grin.]

Didn't keep you waiting long, I hope?

[Action] Sorry its kinda late

[shard_finder]

[Kagome smiled when she saw her friend arrive.]

Nope not at all. Where would you like to go to grab something to eat real quick?

[Action] no problem!

[sweeperesque]

Sounds like a plan. What're you in the mood for?
