I'm terribly sorry for. I mean, that's not how I normally act! And. O-Oh drat I just don't know what to think or say about all this nonsense.

Just. I'll be absent the next few days I. I'm not feeling terribly well!!!!!

Oh, and Miss Scientist? I...wasn't able to before, but that sweater you gave me is quite nice, thank you. I'm sure it'll come in

[ Sasuke's received a little gift of his own, one that's distracting him from taking much notice of the fact that his emotions are again stable... or are as stable as they can be. Not to mention what happened before, between him and the roommate that happens to be sitting on the couch attempting to ignore the rest of society.

He pauses for a moment when he sees her before walking past, approaching the refrigerator to quietly slip something inside. ]

[verdantventure]

[ She hears him go by but pays him no mind. Really she's just trying to not think ever again. She has to move a little, though, as one of her feet is falling asleep.

The movement causes some of the Tupperware to fall from the couch and hit the floor. Flora just continues sitting there.

Just.

Pretending it didn't happen.

Yup. ]

[lastofthelegacy]

[ Predictably he glances back, taking the time now to acknowledge those memories. It's bothering her, clearly, or perhaps it's something else altogether.

Sasuke steps closer, leaning over to smoothly pick up that container and briefly examine it before holding it back out for her. His expression is ever unhelpfully unreadable. ]

[verdantventure]

[ She looks up and just kind of stares at the Tupperware, then looks to Sasuke...Yeah, after a moment she'll take it with a nod, fumble, and drop it again.

Turning bright red, her face falls into her hands again. Don't think about it, she scolds herself, trying to shove any and all memories of the last few days out of her head. Instead she motions vaguely at the fallen container, trying to just clear her mind. It's not...working.

Why can't she become one with the couch, again? ]

I'm sorry!

[lastofthelegacy]

Sorry?

[ It's a word he remembers vaguely, one he manages to recall just a moment or two later. Hong Kong had taught it to him after all, though he'd assured him he had no use of the term and rushed him past it. ]

Hn. Why?

[verdantventure]

Because--[ Have some more really vague hand motions. She's kind of flailing a little. ]

Just. I am?

[lastofthelegacy]

[ This is a first, a girl openly recanting her feelings for him. Or at least that's how he sees it. She shouldn't make such a big deal about it. ]

Things are normal again?

[verdantventure]

I think so...though still, all that...all those feelings. I shouldn't have thrown myself at you like I did. It was rude.

[lastofthelegacy]

[ Hong Kong taught him "rude" rather early as well in order to distinguish between a few phrases. ]

I am not angry. That happens often.

[verdantventure]

[ She shakes her head. ]

That doesn't mean what I did was okay.

[lastofthelegacy]

[ Using a genjutsu to block her memory of the event would be a little cruel, but convenient. He wishes he had the ability right now. ]

It did not happen.

[verdantventure]

Ah...

[ She is. Giving you the weirdest look. What... ]

[lastofthelegacy]

[ Don't force him to try to use more limited English than he knows! ]

Hn... Do not think about it. [ If it makes her uncomfortable then it's best to just ignore it. He doesn't have much to say on the issue either, really.

Sasuke gestures to the refrigerator almost as an afterthought. ]

A thing is in there. Do not touch it.

[verdantventure]

[ She sighs, frowning. ] I'll try. Ah...and don't worry, I'll leave whatever it is alone.

[ She tries to turn that frown upside down, but it's not all that effective. She'll just look at him curiously a moment... ]

Your English is improving quickly.

[lastofthelegacy]

[ That was a little unexpected. Still, it also makes sense that she would avoid the previous conversation topic, one that clearly flustered her. Even not knowing every word that she's using it's simple enough to infer her meaning from her tone and from what he does understand. ]

Ah. Hong Kong... speaks to me, often. I speak and read alone.

[verdantventure]

[ She nods, giving him a small smile. ]

You're doing well, in any case. Actually, I--Oh, wait...[ She sits up, then, digging around for her communicator. She didn't want to say a lot only to have him not understand...Aha! There it was. She holds it up to show him. ] Do you have yours on you? I have a question I'd like to ask.
