[text-locked to kaoru] Kicking off the Valentine's shenanigans...

[theheirofbreath]

hey kaoru!
are you busy?

Comments

hahahahahahahahahaha

[breatheinthefog]

*Kaoru's too busy trying to figure out what's going on and why the man with the gun cares so much about what happens to his family that he's going to go into the jungle and fight the people threatening them. Was that what people normally did? Would she do that for anyone?

Why was she entertaining the thought that she would?*

Tch.

*Oh, hey, John is acting strangely. She's going to tilt her head at him.* What are you doing?

[theheirofbreath]

N- nothing! Nothing at all!

[Oh God, she saw. Someone behind them shooshes him and he quiets down.]

S- sorry....

[breatheinthefog]

*Kaoru stares for a while before getting back to the movie. She'll ask later.*

[theheirofbreath]

[He is so very glad for the darkened theater hiding how very much he is blushing right now. He turns his attention back to the safety of the movie. Maybe he can get through the rest of this date without embarrassing himself further. yeah, no.]

[breatheinthefog]

*Poor John. This is what happens when you ask out Prospero's resident emotionless girl.*

[theheirofbreath]

[He's managed to lose most of the obvious redness in his face by the time the credits roll.]

So, what did you think? Pretty awesome, right?

[breatheinthefog]

It was sort of confusing. The man wanted to save his family more than he wanted to protect the city, but in the end he was able to save both. That kind of thing doesn't happen. Does it?

[theheirofbreath]

Sure it does! I mean, not often, but...

You've just gotta have faith in yourself and keep trying even when everything seems like it's hopeless. If you do that, you can accomplish anything.

[Yeah, he really is this naive. And somehow he makes it work.]

[breatheinthefog]

...You really think that?

[theheirofbreath]

I really do. It's that belief that kept me going back home.

[breatheinthefog]

But fate is inevitable.

[theheirofbreath]

Hehehe, yeah... That's what everyone kept telling me. That we'd already lost, that our session was doomed, that we couldn't possibly change things.

But I could never get myself to believe that.

[breatheinthefog]

You aren't the only one who's said those kinds of things.

[theheirofbreath]

That's good, isn't it? I think more people could use a little optimism in their lives.

[breatheinthefog]

What does it accomplish?

[theheirofbreath]

It keeps you from giving up.

[breatheinthefog]

...hm.

[theheirofbreath]

Hey, Kaoru, did you wanna grab something to eat?

[breatheinthefog]

I don't see why not.

[theheirofbreath]

Great! There's a little cafe a few streets over.

[People on dates go to cafes, right? He's pretty sure it's better than fast food.]

[breatheinthefog]

You've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

[theheirofbreath]

hehe, not really. You're actually the first girl I've ever gone out with.

[breatheinthefog]

Gone out...

[theheirofbreath]

Y- yeah. So... I guess I'm still kinda getting the hang of it.

[breatheinthefog]

That's fine.
