Video: Gotta catch up on all the gossip!
[When Zelda first wakes up, her immediate instinct is to take a bath, and that is exactly what she does. It's not until an hour later (and much cleaner) that she bothers to talk to other people. After that, she picks up her SFC to make a video post, looking a little disoriented.]
I do apologize if I worried anyone. I suppose it was only a matter of time before I fell into a sleep coma as well. Has anything of interest happened in the past two weeks? I would appreciate hearing about it.

And he really does need some one to talk to.
Some one who isn't Masaru.]
... if that's okay, yeah...
video;
[She's hoping he likes his tea sweet, because that's her preference!]
video;
[actually he doesn't have a preference. He's just not picky about a lot of things.]
video > action
[The princess turns off the feed and moves to make some honeyed tea, something that's soothing but not going to put him right to sleep. If he needs to talk, that wouldn't exactly be productive.]
action
He's got his sword, as per usual, but he looks a little disheveled. Not sleep deprived (the day the half demon who normally sleeps for twelve hours has insomnia is the day something is seriously wrong) just... bothered. Hair a mess, eyes downcast, ears drooping... none of his usual scowl, or that cute-cheerful expression he wears sometimes.
Even his tail is just dragging on the ground behind him.
Whenever she opens the door, he just barely manages a grunt in greeting.]
'ey.
action
[Zelda ushers him inside to the living room, pouring him a cup of honey-sweetened tea. She usually exchanges pleasantries at the doorway, but he seems so mopey that she can't help but want to address whatever's eating at him. Holding the cup and saucer out, she smiles.]
So then, what happened?
action
I think I pissed some one off... some one I really...
[What? What ARE his feelings for Maka? Why does he blush whenever she says he's cool or gives him a compliment? Why does he feel so damn... flighty and nervous when he thinks about here and why does the way she hung up make him so upset?
He thought he had feelings for Shiemi, but...]
S... some one I care about...
[But Shiemi isn't there. And Maka is.
... damn it.]
action
What makes you think that?
action
[he clears his throat a bit, not wanting to upset Zelda with his usual foul language. He blows at his tea, sipping at it carefully before continuing]
She said she thought I was cool too, but the she sounded... I'unno, upset I guess? And she said she had to go and hung up before I could say anything!
[he huffs then, and while he doesn't say it out loud his look says what's on his mUind. "Girls are confusing".
It's a common teen boy look, actually.]
So i'unno what I did but she's probably not happy with me... I geuss I wasn't supposed to say that or somethin'...
[and by the slump of his shoulders and the downward tilt of his ears it's pretty obvious that he wants to fixed this self perceived wrong, but he doesn't know where to start.
So he's been doing what Rin Okumura does best when things go to shit because of his screw ups - sulk, hit things, and sulk some more. And here he doesn't have Yukio to pull him out of his funk.]
action
Forgive me for being a little forward, but do you believe you two have a platonic relationship, or would you say that it feels like something more?
action
He tries to think if Yukio has ever said what it meant, but nothing comes to mind. He tries to sound it out in his head but his normally Japanese-language thinking brain doesn't help.
If he thinks any harder smoke might just come out his ears]
Uhhhmmm...
action
Take your time. Romance can be a complicated subject, after all.
[There. Perhaps now he wouldn't be embarrassed about not knowing the word?]
action
oooh.]
Oh, uhm... we're... friends, I guess...
[he shrugs casually, but there is a very clear blush on his cheeks when he says it.]
action
[Unless you're Zelda, of course. She sips her tea calmly.]
action
[wait--]
... attractive? ... I... guess she's pretty cute...
action
[How Zelda can say this with a smile? She's experienced some of the strange hormonal swings that come with being a woman after spending seven years as a man. She's well aware that sometimes, it has absolutely nothing to do with logic.]
action
I meant she said it about herself, first. She said "I like studying. As Soul would put it, I'm a nerd."
[hence the confusion on his end.]
If she said it firsf then is it really not okay for me to say it back?
[teach me, Professor Zelda! ... Seriously because he is so utterly turned around now.]
action
[Sorry Rin, you have a problem with words? Zelda has a problem adjusting her vocabulary. She doesn't talk down to people, she just keeps saying it until they learn!]
action
He huffs again, putting his tea down and crossing his arms over his chest, an annoyed growl accompanying his words.]
So I did screw up then. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to say that! I think she's cool, that's all I was tryin' to tell her!
[His tail even twitches, flicking like an angry cat.]
action
[Rin, your tail is so cute! Zelda takes another sip of tea to avoid reaching out to play with it.]
action
action
[Rin, there is now a scolding index finger right in your face.]
Just get it over with!
action
I-I don't wanna make her MORE mad!
action
[Zelda sounds genuinely curious. Is this girl a volatile person?]
action
[he just kind dissolves in to mutters at this point]
