[when this is over and things calm down she is going to punch something so hard its mother cries]

I'll try not to.

[no promises]

None of that is very surprising to hear... It's good, though.

[purrtagonist]

[he'll encourage this]

It is. She might prefer to stay inside, but it's good for her to get out every so often.

[riderfist]

I agree with you there. Fresh air helps.

[purrtagonist]

I think even she realizes that.

[riderfist]

She's been trying very hard to get out of her shell, as it were.

[purrtagonist]

She's been doing a good job. One step at a time.

[riderfist]

Precisely. I know she's been dealing with so much, and this really is a good turn.

[purrtagonist]

She'll probably run out of batteries by the time we return, though. We've been doing a lot of walking.

[riderfist]

So it'll be a few more days before she shares anything?

[purrtagonist]

Probably. But you can always call her yourself to ask.

I bet she'd like to hear from you.

[riderfist]

[et tu, brute?]

Right...

[purrtagonist]

[ET TU, BRUTE!!]

Don't sound so uncertain. You like talking to her, right? So. . . reach out for conversation.

I bet she'll welcome it.

[riderfist]

I'm suddenly afraid of what might happen if you and Haru team up.

[purrtagonist]

[innocently]

We'd make a pretty good team, that's what would happen.

[riderfist]

[a team of sadists]

Is that so?

[purrtagonist]

[HE'S MORE OF A MASOCHIST HONESTLY]

I sense suspicion.

[riderfist]

[sadomasochists]

Can you blame me?

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

I guess not.

[he's usually pretty confident about this stuff, but their fake dating stint definitely made it obvious Makoto isn't]

Well, if I push too much, just let me know. I'm rooting for you, though.

[riderfist]

[she's not wrong. to prove this fact: that gay thread with futaba]

... Thank ... you... ? But I don't think that's strictly necessary...

[purrtagonist]

Sure it is. I want you to both be happy.

[riderfist]

And there's no one else you could focus on?

[purrtagonist]

Not really.

Yusuke and Richard are taking their time, and I don't want to push Yusuke before he's ready.

[riderfist]

[well that's. fair and accurate]

He's happy, at least.

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

[fondly]

That's what matters.

[riderfist]

Yes. It's a good chance for him.
