[Well this week had sucked, hadn't it? First Roy didn't remember anything, and now when she definitely needed someone she held close to hear her out after trying to shoot Replekia at the barrier...

Touma was gone.

She hadn't ever been in his room, but when it was devoid of things that would have made it his, with a goodbye/apology from him...?

So she sat on what was his bed and cried. A lot. The Malnosso were taking a toll on her pretty nicely this week, weren't they? If anything else were to happen...


After a little bit of time, and when she had slowed down the crying and gone back to her own room, she cracks open her journal and makes a quick message as best she can:]

Touma Kamijou has... he's left.

[Her voice was starting to crack again, it was best to end that message there.]

I said I would, so I would! Look, where to and do you want to have pie or cake?

[written]

[implanta]

[Rin's being... really nice, isn't he? It might take her a few minutes to reply, but she will.]

Pie. Something small though. I'll share it with you, if you'd like.

[voice]

[rashness]

Jeez you're slow... chocolate, some fruit thing? [He'd make enough to share either way, really, but wouldn't be expecting it]

[written]

[implanta]

[Ok now he's being kind of mean :( That's not cool, dude.]

...

Chocolate. And cherries.

[voice]

[rashness]

Got it! ...So where was I delivering this again?

[written]

[implanta]

I'm in Community House 5, room 2. It's on the first floor.

[rashness]

[He says something else on the other end to imply his conformation And... well he sets to work making this. It doesn't take him super super long, but he'll be there in maybe a an hour or a little more and knocking on her door with it in a box under his arm]

[implanta]

[Hope you don't mind girls in pajamas, since that's what Cloche has been in since she got back from Touma's old room. She'll smile half-heartedly at him though, and move away from the door to let him in.]

[rashness]

[There's a bit of a flush too. But he comes on in, the boss hanging at his side as he makes his way inside Cloche's apartment with a smile too. Hey so. where does he set this?]

[implanta]

Oh, um...

[Let her run out and grab some stuff to eat the pie with.]

Here, we can just sit on my bed. I can clean it off later if I need to.

1/2

[rashness]

[THE BED............]

[rashness]

[.....No, focus!] S-sure. Yeah, I mean, I got no problem with that if you don't.

[implanta]

Why would I? It's fine. Like I said, I'll just clean it off later.

[No, she has no idea why you're being so weird, Rin.]

[rashness]

Right, right.

[Be cool, Okumua. Well, he'll ... wait he didn't bring a knife. Well, either way, he'll get to work undoing the box (see how pretty it is, Cloche, it is pretty) to get them all set up for pie]

[implanta]

[Oh. A knife might be good. Let her grab one of those too, while getting a quick glance at the pie--] We're going to eat that? It's so pretty though!

[rashness]

Well it's your call, Cloche. I made it for you.

[With... sincerity.]

[implanta]

...

I'll remember what it looked like. Thank you, Rin.

[She'll give a half-smile before running and grabbing a knife for him, returning to hand it over.]

[rashness]

[And with it over, cut, cut two pieces - a bigger one for her, actually]

Hey, it's fine. You sounded like you needed it.


[Or well, read like]

[implanta]

[She'll start to tear up again, nodding. She needed some company too, it seems.]

[rashness]

[...Hah. He takes her piece, puts it onto a plat, and hands it over to her. He doesn't take his though, he just puts a hand on top of her head]

s-sob that's adorable

[implanta]

[She'll take her piece and eye it and... then there's a hand on her head. She doesn't understand this gesture, so she'll stare at him.]

/bows

[rashness]

...'M sorry you lost your friend, Cloche. [He hasn't lost many here. Most of what he's lost are people from home, and most of the people who have gone home are people he doesn't know that well, but seeing an upset girl in front of him- he messes up her hair a bit with the hand on her head]

[implanta]

[Oh... he really is sweet, isn't he? But hearing that, and being reminded of a close friend...

She'll just nod. Though she'll protest a little at her hair being messed up. She might be in her pajamas, but it doesn't mean she can't let her appearance be messed up!] H-hey!

[rashness]

What, that's just how we do! [But fine, fine, he'll retract his hand. He'll get himself some of his own pie eventually, but the important part was for her]

[implanta]

[...well, it did comfort her a little. Yes, that might be at least a small smile that's creeping up on her face.]

Thank you, Rin.

[And now, the taste test: verdict? IS AMAZING.]

Mm?! Iff-- [gulp.] It's delicious!
