[pishirogane]

[Hobbling around and training most of the morning, Naoto needed to sit down and actually take a moment. One training sword, one gun, and one kunai knife, the detective eased herself down and stared up at the sky wondering when exactly she had last done this.]

[topgun_textiles]

[Perhaps she'd been spacing out a little, or Kanji was feeling super sneaky today... but a hand holding a bottle of tea from the breakfast tables entered her field of vision. If she'd been moving around even half as much as he did this morning, a drink break probably sounded like a good idea.]

[pishirogane]

[At the abrupt appearance, Naoto blinks, focusing on the bottle and then the hand holding it. She sits up and reaches, accepting it into her hold. He didn't have to bring her this, but she does appreciate it]

Thank you.

[topgun_textiles]

[He nodded and straightened up, tossing his own canned coffee from hand to hand.]

How's your leg?

[pishirogane]

It's fine. I still can't apply too much weight on it for an ample period of time.

[topgun_textiles]

[Kanji went and had a seat.]

Y'don't need me to tell you not to push it. If that leg don't wanna move, it won't.

[He looked down at the grass.]

...'s good to see you outta the clinic, though.

[pishirogane]

[Don't mind her as she sips some tea. Yes, she almost had a few instances today where her leg almost caused her to fall over. Perhaps she should wear different shoes for a while...]

... Did I worry you that much?

[topgun_textiles]

[Well, nobody else was around, so...]

You were pretty sick when I came by after you got back from that mission. I was scared shitless.

[Probably didn't help that she said something about possibly getting worse before she got better. D-don't do that, Naoto.]

Then I came back the next day, you looked a lot better... then e-everything that happened...

[He trailed off. She told him she spoke what was on her mind that day, but did what she say still hold true?]

[pishirogane]

I apologize. I tried texting, but it was too difficult and staring at the screen was slightly nauseating after a while. Audio wouldn't have lessened your worry either.

[He probably would've assumed even worse. Sorry Kanji, she's pessimistic because optimistic.]

Oh... the chocolate. Of course...

[He had a mission the other day... they didn't have a chance to discuss this.]

[topgun_textiles]

Don't worry about it. You just weren't feelin' too hot.

[Kanji went quiet then. The chocolate... yeah. A lot happened two days ago, and a hell of a lot was said, whether either of them liked it or not. Without that candy loosening his lips, he felt those butterflies forming in his stomach again and was thankful he wasn't going to burst into song.]

[He looked ahead, setting his coffee on the grass to keep from fidgeting with it any further like an idiot. He sucked in a breath to try and calm his nerves, and pressed his hands to his knees.]

The chocolate ain't screwin' with us anymore. It pisses me off that it took some messed-up candy to say what I wanted, but... i-it's true, all of it.

D-did... y-you still wanna try?! [Whoops. Totally didn't mean to shout that last part.]

[pishirogane]

If you're sure.

[Naoto stared at the bottle as it rested on her lap, quiet as usual when Kanji spoke. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye when he mentioned that it was true, but then looked down when he nearly shouted, asking if she did mean what she had said.]

[That was the curious question of the hour. Did she really want to try? Now that she wasn't blurting everything the moment it came to mind, she was able to formulate her responses accordingly. Her grip tightened on her bottle]

Kanji-kun... Wouldn't you want to be with someone who's more comfortable in their skin? I struggled being friends with everyone on the Investigation Team and I don't know the first thing about more intimate relationships. [Besides the dangers that can result.]

[topgun_textiles]

W-well... me, neither. [His grip tightened over his knees, and he looked over.]

I'm still figurin' out what friends should do. I... didn't really have any until last summer. But that ain't stoppin' me from doin' what I can, bustin' my ass while learnin' what works, what doesn't. Maybe someday I'll have it all figured out.

[He breathed a quiet sigh. Ugh, when did it get ten degrees higher out here?]

I dunno shit about r-relationships... but I figure I'll try n' do what feels right. Not just for me, but for the other person, too.

But I ain't gonna push. Not with this. I don't want somebody else, Naoto-kun... but I want you to be comfortable. Even if it means droppin' the subject, movin' on.

[pishirogane]

[Naoto keeps her head low, frowning. Yes, they had both been in that situation actually being befriended and becoming friends with the others.]

[She bit the inside of her mouth, uncertain. Was it really only her? She doesn't understand. Yesterday, she didn't mind going along with it, but that was because he didn't mind her. And he just said it was all true.]

... I don't think dropping it would be that simple.

[She paused, closing her eyes to think. Would it be right though as inexperienced as they both are?]

If it doesn't work out, we'll still be friends at least, correct?

[topgun_textiles]

[She was right. It wouldn't have been that simple at all. Even if he put the option out there, dropping the subject entirely would have hurt a little, even if he'd force himself to deal. That was the thing about stepping outside of one's own comfort zone, opening up to others... you had to be ready for a few hits. He'd been thinking about this over and over since he left the clinic two days ago.]

[His reply to her question was a firm nod.]

Well... y-you're one'a my best friends, Naoto-kun. No matter what.

[He had to wonder if the chocolate was still in his system... he didn't think he'd ever talk about things like this.]

[pishirogane]

[She stares at him silently and nods. That was a relief, but it was similarly frightening. They were opening themselves in another way to be hurt. Naoto really hopes she's not making a mistake]

I... suppose... we could give this a try still then.

[draculabackwards]

How are you healing up, detective? *Asks the dhampir*

[pishirogane]

[She looks over at Alucard]

Well enough, Alucard-san. Thank you.

[draculabackwards]

Did the Witches do this to you?

[pishirogane]

This? No... it was a zombie bite.

[draculabackwards]

*He winces* I was not able to lend aid in any defense. Only in rescuing the captured.

[pishirogane]

It's fine, Alucard-san. I received this bite from my last mission. It wasn't from the invasion.

[draculabackwards]

Indeed? Then these monsters are getting stronger all the time.

[pishirogane]

It's more we lowered our guard too soon after we defeated the Kishin egg.

[draculabackwards]

I see. At least you are getting slowly better.

*considers* Has there been any talk of selecting people for your team yet?

[pishirogane]

[She nods, but then pauses]

We've had some discussions, but it will be a while before we're done.
