[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino attractive, and was generally polite. Most of the time, at least.]

O-oh! I hope that you have a good time on your date, then! And, ah, yeah... of course.

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

[Admittedly, they haven't been all too active the past several months, when it came to the AN... After everything had happened, they just... Had needed a break.]

[but, now, they're just... sitting in Avior, browsing on their phone. It's so... /quiet/.]

[ @winwinccino ]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [They nod in silent agreement.]

Mmm, yeah... I could always fill you in, later, sometime, if you want. [They shrug, but then Win rises to his feet, and they're faintly surprised when he mentions a date.]

[Then again, they suppose it wasn't /that/ surprising - he WAS rich, +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino least, they /hope/ so...]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [Their brow furrows even more at that. Hhh... They /really/ hope that's not the case...]

... I'm sure that that's not the case, [it can't be-] Maybe the higher ups are just... Trying to lay low. A... a /lot/ happened while you were gone.

I'm sure that they have a plan. [ at +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino rather worrying...

[hopefully everyone else was doing alright...]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino in reply to Win's question.]

Ah- no, actually. Like I said, things have been kind of... unusually quiet, lately. Save for the occasional small talk on the feed. [Their smile shrinks a bit, and their brow furrows.] But there's been nothing from the higher ups...

It's... +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino that you've been doing well, by the sound of it. It's... nice to have you back, [frankly, they weren't sure if they really even meant that, but... They might as well be polite.]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino Well... I'm glad to hear that you had fun, then! [They drum their fingers against their legs underneath the table, glancing away yet again. Even after all this time, talking to Win never failed to put them on edge, huh?]

[God, this was awkward.]

... Anyways, I'm glad to hear +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino look nice, too-! [ God, please strike them down-]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino what /I/ could possibly teach you... [he probably wouldn't be interested in traditional Alolan dances...]

[At Win's compliment, their face heats up a bit, and they duck their head slightly.] O-oh-! Ah, thank you...

[quick, what should they do- return the compliment??] ... You +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino felt like ages ago, now...]

[They /were/ feeling kind of lonely. They hadn't really talked to... any of their friends, for a while.]

[Hesitantly, they finally manage to actually /look/ at Win.]

... Maybe. That... might be nice. [they haven't danced in a while. Not really...]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [As Win quickly changes the topic, relief floods through them. Their shoulders slump a little. But, then, he offers to.. hangout, and they nervously fist their hands in the fabric of their pants.]

[Faintly, they recall that one conversation that they had with Hope. God, that +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino resisting the urge to cringe.]

[They'd correct him, but frankly, they just... Don't want to think about her- not now.]

... She... She has. [they finally answer, quiet, brow furrowed slightly.]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [Both at blame... For whatever reason, that phrasing rubs them the wrong way, but then Win mentions... her. Somehow, they become even more tense.]

[They quietly take a deep breath, fingers tapping against their legs underneath the table, now. They look at everything but Win, +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino would've contacted you, but... I wouldn't want to be a bother, or anything- I assumed that you were, well, busy, so...

[they trail off, faltering. That sounds so... /lame/. ]

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [They're about to open their beak to reassure him that it's fine that he hadn't contacted them, but then Win points out how /they/ hadn't reached out to /him/, and they sweat a little. Despite everything, they can't help but feel a little... guilty?]

It's- it's fine. I... I +

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino lately. It's... kind of strange.

[As Win says that he's glad to see them in one piece, a nervous little chuckle escapes them.]

Me, too... Things were... hectic, for a while. I'm, ah, glad to see that you seem to be alright, as well.

[Leilani Ora Frances @AlolanRhythm]

@winwinccino [ As Win turns his attention back to them, returning their question, they peer down at the tabletop.]

Ah, nothing too exciting, really... I went and visited my parents, a while ago... I kind of took my own break from... everything, too. Things have been... Awfully quiet, +
