[He isn't, either, so it's all good.]

Well, it only felt appropriate... After all, it's been nearly a year since I truly admitted my feelings for you.

[Hmmm. She nods, looking thoughtful.]

You're right. It's gone by really fast.

True, but I've enjoyed every minute of it.

[--he sees that thoughtful look. Yup.]

[Leans back a little, but doesn't let go of him.]

Ienzo... Can I ask you a question?

Certainly. What is it, Kairi?

[Does drop her hands now, looking slightly nervous.]

I'm... not very good at this, I know. Even if we are in the dressing room, I haven't really been around as much as I could have. So I'd like to start spending more time with you.

... Kairi, you're wonderful. Please, don't ever think otherwise.

[he shakes his head, squeezing her a bit]

Of course, I wouldn't object to spending more time with you at all. If anything, I'm just as at fault, really.

[Laughs softly, having turned faintly pink at that.]

No you're not. I mean... I get stuck in my games and it's like I disappear, I know. My mom would complain about it all the time. So.

[Stands up straight.]

I want to be a better girlfriend than that.

I understand. Truth be told, back in the Garden that's essentially how I was when I wasn't in the company of my colleagues and Master Ansem, or the Kairi from my world. I'd spend hours on end immersed in the many books within the castle library... The same could be said for the first four or five months I stayed here.

Truth be told, this likely wouldn't have changed if I hadn't met you.

[He looks quite serious here, too.]

Perhaps we could both try to spend more time together. Hmm...

[Maybe... Well, possibly. HRM.]

[Awww, Ienzo. She thinks that's awfully sweet of him to say, and will show it by wrapping her arms around him in another hug.]

We're a good match. And I'm not saying you have to change your habits if you don't want to, but maybe if we're just doing things like that we can sit in the same room? I'll bring my DS, you can bring a book...

[Shrugs.]

[Yay, hugs. He'll go ahead and give her another one, too.]

I wouldn't mind, if that's what you'd like. There's a lot we could do together, after all. Of course, I wouldn't mind your suggestion, either. We could always do both, you know.

But, well...

[He has an ideaaaa.]

We could always move closer together as well.

[Oh? She is intrigued!]

I definitely wouldn't mind that. How would we work that out?

[There might be free rooms near her. She's not sure.]

I suppose we could always search for an empty room nearby. Or, alternatively... We could always stay together. Erm... that is, if you wouldn't mind.

[Awkward? Maaaaybe]

[Was not expecting that suggestion!]

You mean like in the same room?

Well. If you wanted to, at any rate.

[Guuuh. Maybe it wasn't the best idea.]

[No no, hang on, she's thinking.]

I've never shared a room before. Would you want to?

If it helps, neither have I.

[eheh... Yeah. But he nods]

I wouldn't mind. It would allow us to see one another on a daily basis, but I understand if you'd prefer a greater degree of privacy.

[Laughs.]

I don't know. It wouldn't be too bad... But I'd probably make a pretty lousy roommate.

We could always be... [fff]

Lousy together?

[Okay, that just sounded silly. Brb laughing]

[That makes two of them. He's given her a case of the giggles.]

I guess we could!

I suppose we'd have to rearrange things a bit, however.

[Giggling is definitely a step up from that negativity!]

[Well, she felt bad!]

Yeah, we would. It'd definitely be a moving day.

Then again, if we divided the work, we'd likely progress much quicker.

That being said, I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor for the time being.

I wouldn't let you sleep on the floor.

[Tsk.]

Are you absolutely sure? It wouldn't bother me, honestly.
