[There is absolutely no sense in not acknowledging that something has happened, all the polite worries of "I don't want to be a bother" aside. This is a big change, and though Maka is not going to let it break her down, it still hurts like hell.

Thus, when the feed clicks on, Maka's voice is steady, but completely lacking in any sort of emotion.]

Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt whatever you're doing, but Rin Okumura has gone home.

[She shouldn't be upset, she has no right to, she knew this would happen eventually. Nothing lasts forever.

No, she shouldn't be negative and mope, he might come back after all.]

I just thought anybody that knew him might like to know. [A pause before she adds:] And if you think that gives you a right to punch him when he comes back, you'll have to go through me first.

[That final confirmation reassures herself, falsely or not. Yes, he will come back, giving up hope is the absolute last thing she should be doing right now.]

Thank you for your time. Sorry for the bother again.

For the reason that I just said, even if you didn't ask about it. I'm his girlfriend, what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't have faith that he'd come back?

Shit happens, girly. Get used to it.

_{[A beat.]}

I'm still punching him even if you get in my way. He fuckin' owes me that much.

I'm more used to it than you'd think.

[And just because she's not bitter and pessimistic doesn't mean the opposite >8(]

He doesn't owe you anything.

So you're used to boyfriends up 'n leavin' you, huh?

_{[At least that's what he's gathering. He's...

never been an expert on humans and their lifestyles. He just doesn't understand any of it.]}

Sure he does.

More like life not being the easiest thing in the world. That's part of the adventure.

[Wow that was an incredibly protagonist thing to say.]

He doesn't. He can't control when he comes and goes, and what could he possibly "owe" anybody anyway. He doesn't have anything but cooking abilities. [Okay that was mean, but she does have to acknowledge that Rin doesn't have much in the way of intelligence.]

Tch. Sounds like that curse rubbed off on you.

_{[Just going to sort of. stare at his SFC.]}

...Shit, no wonder he ditched if you're that much of a bitch to 'im. Even I can see he's got more than cooking.

[She doesn't respond for a long time.

"Ditched you."

No, she's not going down that route again, and nobody's going to drag her down it. Nobody.]

He has so much more than cooking, or even whatever fighting abilities you've probably seen from him. He means more to me than anybody here can imagine. If all you can condense it down to is "he ditched you." Then.

Go die.
