[That is, simultaneously, the most relieving, wonderful, terrible and painful thing to hear for him. That is probably why he can't quite respond beyond taking the stick and bringing it to his lips.
Damned lighters. So hard to use when you're totally fucked up.
One drag in, and he's leaning back, setting his head against the wall. Two drags, and he's shutting his eyes. Three, and he's staring past Cisco and looking significantly better. Not good: not yet. Just better.
[ Have a kiss on your forehead, Hikaru. And a gentle squeeze on the knee. ]
That, Mr. Shinta-- [ have a Look; an encouraging one ] --is entirely up to the two of you.
[ Lighting up her own stick now, breathing in and exhaling with closed eyes and a happy sigh.
Cracking one open at you now. ] He is very, very cute, you know. But then again, you always did have excellent taste. [ And not giving you any more time to brood over that ( because she knows that you probably will, ) patting your knee and standing up, with all fluid grace that she's kept all these years. ] Come on. I have ramen inside, I think. [ She totally does. Just for the rare instance that he drops on by. ]
[ The ramen is cooking now, so she's just going to saunter over and shelve the Mom Card for the Big Sister Card instead.
Because, lol. Really, Hikaru? She might not be as experienced with your tells as some of the others, but your quailing is a dead ringer for maybe something happened. ]
Well. Was he good? [ Her tone is neutral... ish. So presume whatever you like with regard to the direction her mind is going. ]
[ Learning Japanese was a requisite in joining your conspiracy, Hikaru. She's not as good with it as the others, but growing up with a younger brother who enjoyed anime as much as the next kid offered her an interesting avenue to practice speaking the language. ]
Well, someone is certainly acting like a tsundere.
[ She's teasing. She knows you're out of sorts -- but it's really cute.
You were always one to go after what you wanted, and yes, things have changed since 2063 -- but really? Are you seriously just sitting on your hands and pouting about this? ]
So, if it didn't get that far... it got somewhere, at least?
[ Details, Blade King. How is she supposed to give you a decent assessment from a nosy fox's perspective if you're being so terribly tight-lipped. ]

Do you really think we could...?

[He did wonder, though, at his ability to keep any food down. He's been so completely and utterly miserable lately, it's been hard to do anything...
...Including standing up. Right. Let's try that again.
Better. Following her now, without another word.]
i wasn't sure if we were done but i wanted more so tag :c
Ramen, ramen, ramen... oh. There! Fixing him up a bowl now, glancing up every so often. ] So, what was the fight about?
[ Because you know, Hikaru. You never really explained? And what Rethe had to share from his perspective has her intrigued. ]
i am okay with this. ♥
Well.
That.
Freezing, just so. Getting an impression that is a couple of shades away from deer in headlights.]
It was my fault, really.
[Hedging...]

It sums up so much in just one word: Really? ]

[A little insistent now, as he's looking up at her. He really, really believes it was.]
I mean, I didn't have to, but I...
[Choking up again. Goddamnit.]

Did you... [ she's not presuming anything.
But she has seen the way you look at each other when one thinks that the other isn't looking. ]

[That's said with just a hint of disgruntlement, a lot of upset, and also delivered way too softly.]

Did you maybe... want it to go that far?

Probably.]

crey i am sorry cisco
[He's already said enough, in his opinion, and done enough simply by being here.]
lololol
--a peck on the cheek, Blade King. ] That's fine.
Now let me get you your ramen.
[ She won't be able to resist one last statement though: ] You two would look good together. Just saying.
[ Yeah, getting that ramen now. ]
