She'd spent most of her time holed up in the small room assigned to her, grateful for the hospitality, but at the same time doomed to drown herself in distraught. The more time she has spent in this place the more time she realized she couldn't be here-shouldn't be here-and that she had to leave as quickly as possible. Except, nothing was making that easy for her. Although it perhaps was not intentional, there wasn't much hope for her being able to go home. The situation was as it was and there was nothing she nor anyone else stuck here (or otherwise) could do about it ( ... )

She stared at him, her expression shifting from shocked at his presence to stunned at his comment. Really, of all the things he could have said that hadn't been what she was expecting.

It like he was supposed to say something or do something in particular. It kind of felt like he missed a cue somewhere.
Tap-tap-tap.
But he didn't know what it was that he'd missed...
So instead he watched. He watched and tried to pick up whatever cue he missed, the end of a hanging thread to reel it in, something to make that odd tension make sense. What had happened before between them?

Ah. Granny's tea place. And the dress-fitting. And getting kicked out when Naoto was going to be force-fitted there. Ugh. His eye gave an irritated twitch as that thought passed through his mind, continuing to stare at the swordswoman in ( ... )
