[Kairi's in the music room, something that shouldn't be very surprising to people who know her. she's practicing her cello, ignoring the mistakes for the sake of getting through the melody. the music doesn't really reflect her mood, she just thought it was pretty.]

[He's stalking by, looking for some way to blow off steam. That melody catches his attention though and he stops by the door to listen.]

[once the song finishes, she leans the cello to the side and starts flipping through the sheet music in front of her, looking for something else to play.]

[Normally he would applaud from where he is, but he's fighting the urge to be cranky at the moment.]

You're getting better.

[looks up from the sheet music and smiles brightly.]

Thanks.

[The smile makes him a little more relaxed anyway. Just sighs, trying to collect himself before speaking again.]

Been practicing all day?

Well, not all day...

[sets the instrument aside and takes a moment to stretch her arms.]

Long enough though?

I'd say so.

Kitchen, then?

Sure.

[stands, stretching a bit more before heading over to him.]

[Makes sure she's following before turning to head for the kitchen. He needs a drink, badly.]

[follows beside him, looking curious and maybe a bit worried.]

You okay?

[Rule number one, don't lie, rule number one, don't lie.]

No.

[honesty, yay! steps closer, wrapping her arms around one of his.]

Wanna talk about it?

[Slows his pace just a little, so he isn't stalking along so much.]

Ri's being an ass again.

[siiiigh.]

I don't think that's particularly hard for him to do, especially when it gets down to the two of you.

He's still trying to pick a fight with me though.

[His tone isn't accusing, just stating facts.]

I'm sorry.

[mostly because she doesn't know what else to say.]

[Shakes his head a little.]

Don't... it's not your fault.

Well I'm sorry anyway. It's not fair that there's someone actively trying to pick fights with you.

He'll stop eventually. Sometime within the next fifteen years anyway.

[Hey, kitchen. Heading for the cabinets now.]

He'd better.

[or else in a couple years he'd have an angry mother-to-be on his case, seriously. :|]

Is that a threat?

[He's surprised by that. And maybe a little amused.]

...maybe.

[hops onto the counter.]

[Well it gets a smile from him. Digs through the cabinet for- aha, a bottle of scotch. And he's actually using a glass this time!]

[she's glad to see that smile, and doesn't seem to care that he's getting himself alcohol. if she liked it more, Ri'd probably drive her to drink on occasion as well.]

[Gets some ice in the glass, pours himself some scotch, and hops up on the counter next to her.]

So besides things with Ri, are you doing okay?

[hope you're seated properly, because she's leaning against you~.]

I think so, yeah.

[Well, he likes the company. Slips an arm around her and holds her for a bit.]

That's good, at least.

[really doesn't mind that and scoots a bit closer.]

What about you?

I've been fine. The highlights of the last little while were... helping parent a room full of movie snacks, consequently getting covered in popcorn butter, and running into the male Larxene without getting injured.

How'd you manage that?

[If she had gotten hurt, male Larx would have been next on his hit list.]

Honestly? No idea. He'd put up some sort of barrier in the doorway, and after I ran into it we just kind of talked. He tossed one tiny bit of electricity at me, not even enough to really hurt, but that was after I accidentally almost nailed him in the head with a sour candy.

[Sighs, giving her a look.]

And you thought throwing things at a Larxene was a good idea, why?

I wasn't throwing it at him! I was throwing one at the barrier to see if it'd bounce or go through.

Still wasn't that smart to hang around with someone like him anyway.

[He's only concerned for her. Besides, scolding is her job.]

Probably not.

[she's touched by the concern. ♥]

...it was kind of amusing, though.

[Smiles a bit, leaning towards her a little.]

You're kind of amusing.

Me? Amusing? Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Glad I'm a source of amusement for you, then.

I'm glad you are too. Makes things more enjoyable.

Good.
