Fidgeting. . . Well, at least the rest of the pain should go away shortly. Hopefully.
"Well, um. . . Thank you againโ"
About to bow once more, but stopping herself as she lowered just a couple degrees.
"Ah. . . Um. Y-Yeah. . ."
The look on her face is a contradiction of refusal and agreement. Though with that, it just looks like she's in regular pain.
"Ah. . . Um. RโRight. . . I will."
Lying.
" You can show your gratitude by being kinder to your body, " he's not /pouting/, but he's doing his best to convey pleading dog.
Bottle back in purse, he's done his part. Good deed of the day complete!
She sincerely doubts it, but still accept the medicine and the water. Ugh. . .
Taking only one (1) pill, she waterfalls as little water as possible and hands it back to him.
"Thank you. . . . I'm sorry."
He calmly handed them over, along with a half drunk bottle of water. Choices.
" There there, it happens to the best of us, " he reassured, hand about to rub her back before thinking better of it.
"Gh. . ."
Embarrassing. So so embarrassing.
She started moving back into a 'normal' position, though more like a wind up toy than a human.
"P. . . Pills. . ."
@CASTORSGUILT you do seem like the responsible type.
( a sincere compliment that wasn't flirting, or banter really. he held himself back from saying shinjiro looked like the type to keep a snack in his bag for hungry friends.
or dog treats. )
@CASTORSGUILT ( oughโ no good, ' kid ' had him flustered, disappointed, and relieved all at the same time. laugh it off, ren, laugh it offโ )
haha, brains and beauty, y'know? lala wouldn't let me serve without a good head on my shoulders.
@CASTORSGUILT ( a hum, pulling the now empty glass away to clean up. he was sensing baggage. best not to poke too hard on a first meeting. )
wanting to be and putting the effort in are admirable on their own. caring about how well you're doing is a good sign, right?
teases the people he likes, messes with the people he doesn't. has a tendency to be dramatic to the point of excess.
will claim girlhood and womanhood for the bit, but sees his feminine presentation more as a drag persona.
His eye actually twitched, and he put a gentle hand on her shoulder.
Channeling every responsible person that had guided him as a skater, he insisted, " balm or pills? "
@amaiamamiya ( shaking his head as he sipped at new drink. it would be his last. he knew how to pace himself. )
nah , i got my own shit . thanks , though .
( goody-two-shoes. sure. he believed that. )
( he laughs into his sleeve, cheeks flushed a pretty pink. delighted, and only mildly flustered. )
i'll just punish you if you do, like...
( leaning closer, speaking softly. )
...cutting you off? tattling to lala that you were mean to me?
lucked out .แฃ
who says i won't cause a problem .แฃ
( it's most certainly not intended as flirting, but a charming smile passes his lips, what was meant as a joke sounded more like a tease. alcohol moment. )
