[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[No, but you are distracting. Damn lip reading.] What you even talking about?

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[He spreads his hands, the image of someone who only has half an idea of what's going on.]

We were getting along well before, and now it's as my standing here frustrates you. I'm just trying to get it.

[Action, November 12] 1/?

[dangerouswind]

[Are you even serious right now?]

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Dude, she thought you were smart. Think now: what has happened between them that never happened before?

Idiot.

Moron.]

[Action, November 12] Done!

[dangerouswind]

You're an idiot.

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[--LOOK WHAT HE GETS FOR TRYING.

He has a retort to that but bitterly cuts himself off, palming his forehead.]

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[She nearly copies his gesture.] Never mind.

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

I can't predict you, you know. I never know if it's one thing or a lot, or what you want me to do about it.

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Oh, dear God, where did this conversation even come from? There are so many things she could say to that.

I never want to be predictable.

My happiness is not dependent on you doing something for me.

Is it too troublesome for you to try?

Oh, and Actually, it's really nothing. Your lips were distracting when I was trying to pay attention to you, so I snapped instead. That'd go over well.

So she settles on something else entirely. Let's talk about him.] You're not the easiest to get along with either, you know.

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

I know. [Half a smile now, and he shrugs towards the soda like it's a testament.] Maybe I'll have it figured out when I'm older.

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[He's somehow even more infuriating when he's halfway reasonable.] Figure it out already, would you?

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[...hm

And then he bobs his head, smile sincere.]

Okay.

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Sometimes staying mad at him is like trying to stay mad at a kitten.

And he's still distracting.

... Her life sucks.] I don't purposefully avoid people, you know.

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

Accidents happen.

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Oh, really?] Like what sort of accidents?

[Maybe if she punched him in the face and gave him a fat, split lip, this would be easier. She'll file that thought away under "Seriously Considering."]

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[He shrugs again, wincing a little because of his shoulder.]

Like I didn't meant to be a recluse this week but it happened anyways. Sometimes that's how it goes.

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

Suppose so. [Hmm, a bit of a wince. She'll file that away, too. Poking him in the shoulder could prove to be interesting. Mean, but interesting.]

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[Wow rude. He opens his soda.]

If that's really all you want from me...

[He guesses he can go. But leaving it open, because believe it or not he can put together that some of this is probably about the kiss. He's just not sure how much.

At least he's trying this time.]

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Remember those days when they could talk about things?

... Yeah, she really doesn't right now.] No, it's not.

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

Am I expected to figure it out on my own?

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

It shouldn't be that hard.

[Action, November 12] 1/2

[endgames]

[...he might get punched anyways, but he thinks he has it.]

[Action, November 12]

[endgames]

[He takes a few steps towards her to close the distance, and smoothly sneaks in there to kiss her. It's not like before; he keeps it short and soft.]

[Action, November 12] 1/3

[dangerouswind]

[She has to admit, that one was smoother than the last one. Are you actually learning, Nara?]

[Action, November 12]

[dangerouswind]

[Oh, right. There's an answer to a question in there somewhere. Words are usually easier to work with, but she figures that she can divine something out of this.

Swear to God, though, if he avoids her after this one, she's going to start to think something's really wrong.]
