[She pointed towards the area that had a playground in between as she smiled. Having been pointed towards a general direction also gave Maru the signal that he can begin walking. Sure enough, he began to speed walk as it also pulled Sawako forward. She may be holding on tightly, but Maru was still much stronger as of now.]
[She continued to be dragged by Maru as she couldn't help but to control him. She may love animals, but she hadn't been given the opportunity to also walk a dog for example.]
[Sawako gently let go of the leash as she hoped that Kazehaya wouldn't have any trouble tying the leash. Even if she had spent a short amount of time walking Maru, it was still fun to see how he finally didn't give her much of a cold shoulder. She will most definitely give him something in return for accepting her.]
Thank you for letting me play with Kazehaya-kun, Maru-chan!
[Although it may seem to others that she was playing along with him... she was in fact serious as right now she knew very well that it was Maru's afternoon walk in the first place.]
I didn't really set a time for myself. I-I'd like to have time to make dinner for my parents as well.
[Sawako said this with a slight confidence as it had been awhile since she had managed to make dinner for them. Seeing as Kazehaya was now sitting himself on the swings, Sawako noticed an available spot next to him as it didn't appear that anyone else would be taking it. And so she quickly got on the spot as she smiled next to him.]
[ he decided to check the time on his cellphone, quickly taking notice that it wasn't even close to dinner time yet. that left him pretty ecstatic as he placed his phone back into his pocket, focusing his attention on Sawako now. ]
We'll walk you home once the time comes.
[ swinging himself back and forth with his feet still resting on the ground, he chuckled: ]
[She looked back towards Maru who was by now already laying down on the grass. She smiled softly at the sight as she turned her attention back towards Kazehaya.]
Thank you, I-I'd... really like that.
[Well, Sawako isn't able to reach the ground because of her height, but she's still pulling her body back and forth in order to "swing herself."]
... I still can't reach the ground. Ah, it's still a lot of fun.
[Sawako turned to look to her back as sure enough, Kazehaya was already in position to push her on her swing. She nodded her head rather shyly as she once again tried to start swinging herself with her weight.]
I-I'd... like that very much.
...
[Because ever since she can remember, she has always been used to playing by herself, while everyone else would play in groups and leave her out of it. Sure enough though, Kazehaya was different, and that's what she was mostly happy about.]
Thank you...I never got to experience, something like this until now.
[ lightly, he placed his hands upon her back as he recalled what she had told him about her childhood. most of what he had learned that night was the fact that she was always alone, but it didn't mean that she was lonely. and, regardless of her situation, she always seemed to find a way to make herself enjoy her time being alive - even if she was alone. ]
No problem. I'm glad to be the one to experience this with you. [ he mumbled as he finally gave her a gentle push. ]
[As soon as Kazehaya had gently pushed her, Sawako could already feel the difference as she noticed her legs completely off the ground and in midair. She was already coming back once again to him as again, he lightly had pushed her. Feeling the fresh breeze and experiencing this with him was one of the many wonderful gifts that he has shared with her.]
This is really fun!
[Sawako heard herself exclaimed as she smiled that same bright smile of hers. Even if it was only Kazehaya and her who were playing on the swing, she didn't mind. And already was she beginning to think how she would write about this wonderful experience upon her journal.]

I-I think he's really happy to go.

[ it'd be irresponsible to let his leash go, through. ]
Want to sit down for a bit once we reach it?

Is...is this okay?

[ below her hand, he held onto the leash as Maru slowed his steps down a bit once there was some added pressure to his collar. ]
Is that better, Kuronuma?

...He slowed down now.
[Although his hand wasn't directly holding her hand, she still couldn't help but to feel her chest thumping rather quickly.]

[ although he was behaving the way he normally would, he was actually nervous as well. it didn't show on his face, lucky for him.
once they've reached the playground: ]
I can tie the leash over there. I think he'll have some room to run and play around.

[ and, he's going to sit himself down on one of those swings. they have been walking for awhile before running into Sawako. ]
