Ship Stuff
Nothing too special here just dropping a catch all for ship threads

[Pancakes aren't like...a lunch or dinner kind of food, but neither of them had breakfast anyway, did they? It's fine.]
no subject
Sure!
[ She looks over at the cafe a little more. Hmmm… ]
Did you want to try them with the ice cream?
no subject
[Will Japan never cease to amaze...]
Uh, yeah, that sounds like the only way to have them.
[He's looking over the selections on display as well. He's been here long enough to get a pretty decent scale of how much is too much or how much is cheap when it comes to yen, so when he sees that they're selling 20 individual ones in a box for 800 yen, he whistles under his breath.]
That's really cheap, isn't it?
no subject
Mm, it’s pretty cheap. Just getting one with ice cream is 280 yen. Even the donuts and other stuff don’t cost much.
[ Because of course there’s also donuts that look like kitty heads and mochi that looks like the characters. ]
Thankfully most street food is pretty cheap unless you’re getting something really fancy. So whatever you want we can get no problem.
no subject
[He leans in a little closer to the glass. The donuts look great too, but that rings more as dessert tthan anything else. ...well, as if this isn't ALL dessert.]
Maybe one of the pancakes with ice cream? I like that green flavor...uh. Tea...?
no subject
[ She leans in closer as well, but this time to look at the signs with the ice cream options. ]
I think I want… to try the one that’s a swirl of the green tea and milk flavours. With one of the chocolate filled pancakes.
[ I hate that in looking this place up some more I discovered it’s “milk flavour” and not “vanilla”. ]
no subject
I want that one too. That sounds really good right now.
[Chocolate filled and everything? Okay maybe this IS a dessert after all, but you're not going to catch him complaining.]
Kinda cute how they're all shaped like the cat mascot.
no subject
You mean Hello Kitty-chan? She’s world famous you know.
[ She takes the box and adds it to her bag… probably going to have to put all this in Varian’s backpack later, huh. ]
Pretty much everyone in this world knows who she is - her face is everywhere.
no subject
Really? She's like..a cartoon, right? Like Spongebob, only not real.
[Spongebob isn't- never mind.]
no subject
…… ]
She could be real in some universe. Like Spongebob-kun.
[ IS THERE A HELLO KITTY MUSICAL ]
so I def got the notif for this I just...read it and then my brain was like "yeah you def replied"
I don't know if I'm worried or not by the fact that you could be right about that.
no subject
There could be a universe where Sonic is real.
[ Holy SHIT. ]
no subject
There...could be.
I guess.
no subject
Don’t worry though—
[ She takes a step closer and lifts herself up enough on her heels to kiss his cheek. ]
Even if there is I still like you way more.
[ and starts walking away with her ice cream in hand. ]
no subject
She's already walking off before he can reply. He just ends up lagging behind because she kissed HIM, and you know what maybe he's starting to understand what she meant now by revenge-]
W...wait up-!
[He's gothis ice cream as well but honestly he's liable to let it melt all over his hand if she keeps that up.]
no subject
Rina-chan Board says… “ufufufu”.
[ …but okay fine, she’ll stop and wait for him to catch up. ]
Will eating outside be okay?
[ It’s really nice out and she’d like to sit and look out at the bay some more. ]
DW refreshed weird and I thought it said your last tag was the 11th and I bout had a heart attack
I'm fine with that. I'm surprised, it's actually not too crowded out here right now...I'm so used to there being just a million people walking on the street here.
no subject
[ She has a “get out of school free” card for a while to “recover” considering how she went missing for almost two months. ]
But this area is also a lot bigger and spaced out than other parts of Tokyo so people don’t have to crowd as much.
The train will get really bad in a few hours though…
no subject
You know, you say that like the train wasn't bad before...
[Varian has to imagine that a crowd to Rina must seem like a veritable sea of people to Varian.]
no subject
[ uh oh. ]
When people are going and coming from work the whole train car gets stuffed full of people like a can of sardines. You can barely even move. They even have to have some cars that are girls only for safety reasons.
[ She doesn't elaborate on that last part because OOF ]
no subject
Varian just slooowly slides over closer to Rina as they walk. Subconsciously.]
So taking the train is like...ssssafe, right?
1/2
Mm, it's as safe as it can be. It operates fine. [ That's not what he meant Rina ]
But it's like going anywhere... sometimes, there's just people who aren't safe to be around. People who are really bad. You just have to be aware of it and try to take care of yourself as best you can.
[ ...
hey this is kind of depressing uh-- ]
But it’s okay.
no subject
[ AH… ]
no subject
OH
THAT'S...
It's a pretty big thing for her to say. It's not just kind, it's...an outpouring of trust that means something a bit different between the two of them, given their history. And every time it's extended to Varian, he can feel himself falling a little harder for her. He has to remember to remind himself every day that the second chance Rina has given him in trusting him this much is more than he likely deserves. Even if what he'd done to her was an accident in the end...his actions weren't all that accidental. He knew he was going down a dark path, and he turned a blind eye to anyone seeking to help him. Especially Rina.
He nods a little, reaching for her hand to take once the place they were going to go sit comes into view.]
You've got that right. Nothing's happening while I'm around.
no subject
Mmhm.
[ She doesn’t really need to say much else than that: she means it when she says she knows he’ll protect her. That she trusts him wholly like that. Despite everything that he did, he’s different now (was different before the Wizard reset all their character development to 0) and he also made a promise, one she believes— no, knows he’ll keep this time.
…It also starts to set in for her again though - as it had a few times during these last few days - that pretty soon he’s not actually going to be there to protect her. That she’s going to have to relearn to stand on her own without him or Farrah or the rest of their little makeshift family to support her - that for the first time since they held each other’s hand during that second trial (excluding those first few days after they died) he’s not going to be right beside her with their hands together like this.
Like the last few times she thought about this though she… does her very best to NOT think about it anymore than that. But her smile does falter - though considering her usual facial expressions that might not seem too weird.
When they’re at the spot she tips her head up more towards him. ]
Is here okay?
[ It’s prob just a bench facing the bay or something. ]
