006 ♥ A Vivid Day

[withavividheart]

[ phone ♥ Thursday night ]
Hello, everyone! Sorry to bother you so suddenly!

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm trying to get into the habit of going to the pool to swim every Friday. I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me? I can teach you water cutting or we could play pool games like "Marco Polo" or anything else you can think of! Or if it's better,

[He had been hurrying to catch her up to offer to spend lunch with her again, but he paused when he heard that less-than-happy question.]

...Vivio? Are you alright?

[withavividheart]

Oh! Cain! There you are!

[ She perks up a bit, trying hard not to spread the worry. ] Y, yeah! I'm fine! Are you headed to lunch?

[kinships]

[He doesn't look convinced, reaching out to touch her shoulder.]

You can talk to me if you like, that's what friends are for.

[withavividheart]

Huh? ... mm, yeah. I guess that's true, isn't it?

[ She nods slightly before pointing down the hall. ] But... right! Are you free for lunch? Maybe we could sit together?

[kinships]

[He gives her a reassuring smile.]

I'd like that, we can talk then.

[withavividheart]

Mm, yeah... Oh, did you want to trade lunches again today? Fate-mama packed something that smells really good again!

[ She tries to be perky as they head to the cafeteria, to avoid attracting anymore attention. ]

[kinships]

Won't she be angry if some boy keeps stealing all your lunches?

[He's holding his usual brown bag full of sandwiches.]

[withavividheart]

It's not stealing though, silly. It's sharing. That's completely different.

[kinships]

[He just laughs, waving a hand.]

Alright, alright. We can have half each of each other's?

[withavividheart]

Sure, that sounds fair! Makes lunch more interesting, right? [ She eases up a bit more. It's hard to worry around friends. ] Thanks, Cain!

[kinships]

Right, it's like a pick and mix lunch.

[He pulls her chair out for her in the dining hall, ever the little gentleman.]

[withavividheart]

Mm, right!

[ She takes her seat, a bit surprised at first. She knows he means nothing by it but it reminds her of how the Numbers treat her back home. ]

Thank you! You're a real gentleman, aren't you, Cain?

[kinships]

[He wouldn't have any idea what a Number was, but he would certainly be interested to hear about them.]

I was always taught manners were very important.

[That, and obedience.]

[withavividheart]

Really? I wonder if that's what they were taught too? Maybe them being so polite isn't such a big deal. [ Referring to those girls... she realizes she hasn't told him about them. ] I have some friends back home who are super polite to me.

[kinships]

Is that a bad thing, that they're polite to you?

[withavividheart]

Huh? Well, not really, I guess... but I think they're being polite to the woman I'm cloned from, not me.
