[straying]

[At first, she's quiet for a little while. She opens her mouth as if she knew what to say before but now that the camera's rolling, she's second-guessing it. And so there's a pause before she starts talking.]

Matthew's gone.

[... and she looks a little confused, as if she never expected to say those words. They sound so foreign.]

... sheesh. Can he ever leave without causing me problems?

Well, now you know.

[A bit of a shrug and she ends the feed.]

[well. this is a surprise. very unexpected.]

...I'm sorry, Saya.

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry Saya.

[ctrlaltdemon.livejournal.com]

Ah, that sucks...

You sure you're okay?

[twotimingmutt]

[Have an eyebrow raised at you.]

You sure you're doin' all right?

Saya...

[A thought to himself. And then...]

... What kind of ice cream do you like?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

Saya...

[a kicked puppy look ;;]

[tsujihi.livejournal.com]

Friends leaving can be lonely. Perhaps he'll come back?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... that look. ;;]

Awww Red, don't give me that face.

[She quirks an eyebrow before laughing a little.]

Vanilla.

But I swear Sora, if you're offering me ice cream out of pity, save it.

[He gets a smile and it's only a little bit emptier than the usual.]

Of course. Why would I have any reason to be anything but all right?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

It kinda does, I guess.

But yeah, of course! Don't know what ever implied otherwise.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She's getting sick of hearing that. So she sighs.]

Don't be sorryyyyyy.

I'm fiiiiiine!

If anything, things'll be better off this way. I don't have to spend my day chasing around a stupid thief or have my nights interrupted whenever he feels like breaking in because he's bored.

See? Better for me now that he's gone! Really!

[She's spent a lot of time coming up with this argument. Can you tell?]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Obiiii... Please don't say that.

[There's a whine in her voice and it's pretty clear that she's getting tired of the sympathy.]

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[She really was though!]

He was your...[Friend, boyfriend...uhh] you two were close.

[She quiet for a few seconds, especially since she believes that most of it, is Saya's way dealing with it. Trying to convince her that she's going to miss Matthew is pointless.]

I'm hungry, are you?

[Oh no not at all...*coughs*]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... what are these sudden offers for food? Does she really look that pathetic? She should be the one offering them food!

There's a sound that's a cross between a laugh and a sigh. Then she grins.]

Yeah, sure! Always up for some good Rocky Road.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Eh.... I'd rather he didn't. Less problematic for both of us if he stayed out.

...

And I'm not lonely, if that's what you're thinking!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Well, we were planning on redecorating Matthew's apartment, but he put that plan on hold before it even got started.

[She laughs.]

Maybe you should throw him that party to placate him for a while. Or get him some new friends or people to bother.

[... and then remembering their plan for Naoya. She laughs even harder at the thought.]

Could always get him a girlfriend.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Fighting the urge to smirk. Matthew was always the better actor of the two, but she can pretend for just a little while.]

Ehhh, I don't know about that. I mean, we're barely even qualified for friends!

... I think.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

But we weren't close. I don't know where people are getting that idea! I hardly knew a thing about the guy.

[And then she sighs at the offer. Kagome, she's been offered food so many times by now, but the answer's always gonna be-]

What do you have in mind?

[shard-finder.livejournal.com]

[Kagome tried not to smile. If you say so Saya.] Thieves can be tricky that way.

[She blinked and thought about it.] Well...what are you in the mood for?

[She's quiet even longer and suddenly grins at the other girl.] Maybe we can go somewhere and practice shooting after dinner. I've been wanting to do that for awhile.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it. [She grins in return.]

And... how shocking would it be if I were to say I'm not particularly hungry? Not one of those girls who drown their sorrows in food, sorry to say.

But... shooting sounds like fun. If you want to eat, we can do that, and then we'll go out for some practice.

[Blink.

....

....

—And then Zen bursts out laughing, because ffffffff. Obi. Girlfriend. What.]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Mission accomplished. Awkward!Billy is cute.]

Of course not~

I imagine you're pretty popular where you come from, huh?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[And she laughs in return.]

Hey, in comparison to who I'm trying to find a date for, Obi's easy as pie. Don't start thinking it's impossible before you even try!

[BECAUSE YOU KNOW. NAOYA VS. OBI. WHO IS THE BIGGER JERK? IT'S JUST NO CONTEST.]

[aimforthesun.livejournal.com]

You could say that~ I am a pro, after all.

[Ignoring the fact that he'd just been publicly humiliated and revealed to be a huge jerk.]
