And I shouldn't have been stupid enough to think that he had already dragged you there or that I'd even be able to help you if he had.

[He was wondering how she got into that situation. After a pause, he'll give in to that 'selfish' part of him and just hug her tightly, but not too much.]

I'm so sorry, Namine.

[Nuzzles against his chest, just hugging for a moment before letting out a sigh and looking back up at him.]

Don't apologize, none of this is your fault.

I have to take some of the blame for this.

[He's not completely innocent, after all.]

Or we can just not blame anyone except them.

N-no, not that. I mean... What I did to hurt you.

Oh. It's not a big deal... I'm fine. We'll. just have to be more careful.

[He's not sure being 'more careful' will be enough. And he's still feeling sort of awful.]

Whatever I did, I'm sorry. I'm still... not sure what I'm supposed to do to keep this from happening again.

[Has he not noticed her neck yet? The bruises should be visual by now. She just places her hands on his face so she can look right at him.]

It's okay. If I ever happen to see you like that again, I'll just make sure not to go near you, okay?

[He's been a bit distracted. Just nods a bit, looking at her with more relief than anything else at the moment. And now of course, he notices her neck.]

Oh god, Namine...

[Swallows hard, guessing he just noticed, and just hugs him again, sliding her arms around his neck.]

It's not a big deal...

[He's not going to try and argue with her anymore, but it is so a big deal. I means he didn't try to hurt her, he tried to kill her. So he just hugs her tightly again, murmuring a quiet apology twice more.]

[Sighs and stays in that hug a while, running her hand over the ends of his hair. Finally speaks softly, leaning her head against his.]

Are your eyes better?

[Has calmed down a decent amount, just trying to get back into the swing of things.]

Mm, yeah.

[Nods a bit and takes his hand.]

Good, I'm glad.

[Finally looks up at the stars, smiling just a little.]

It's pretty in here.

[Follows her gaze upwards, staring distantly at the stars. At least none of them are going out.]

...It is.

[Leans against him, though still looking up at the sky, and sighs.]

Riku... there's something else I need to tell you about. But you have to promise me that no matter what, you won't get angry or upset, okay?

[Frowns, looking at her with an overly worried expression.]

I'm not sure if I could keep a promise like that. But I'll try as best I can.

[Gives him a look, before sighing and pulling down the neckline of her dress. Do you see the word, Riku? :|]

Please don't be mad.

[He looks more appalled than anything else, to be honest. He'll probably only let his anger show if he sees his gemini again.]

What- who would...?

[Looks down.]

I told you your Gemini wasn't just using me to get to you...

[Alright, so he is pretty angry about that. But he said he'd try not to be, so he'll just. Try to console her or something. So he pulls her into a gentle hug again.]

[Hugs back, then just pulls herself into his lap and settles down. She's quiet for a while, but then finally looks back up at him.]

I-I'm sorry... don't be upset. I didn't want to show you before in case you wanted to go after him or something.

I'm... I'm not that upset. Just...

[Hesitates, trying to figure out what to say.]

I'm just worried about you. And I wish I could just keep all these bad things from happening.

And I wish I could stop everything bad from happening to you too. but. I can't...

[Idly brushes her fingers through his hair.]

It's just. something we have to go through, I guess.
