She narrowed her eyes. "MmHm." She stepped away and continued her 'cleaning.' "There's a cafe 'round here if you're hungry. That's the only place I'm allowed to go."

He shrugged. "I'm guessing the others have been notified of my return?"

"Let's hope not." She faced him and twirled her finger in a 'turn around' motion.

He turned around.

She started changing, careful to not step in his peripheral vision. "Cinthia ordered us to leave you alone–to sort everything out on your own–after she sent Kiriti to talk to you. Junia went against that order to find you–for some reason. I'm just straight-up banned from going anywhere but that cafe."

"And you react by tearing down the city block?"

"I don't take being told what to do very well, especially when I'm told I'm not allowed to do something I want to do." She paused. "I guess… I just wanted to help, y'know? I was emotional, and I needed to take it out on something. Cin and the others are busy with school and work… and I'm just… stuck here."

He shook his head. "It's my fault, in all reality. I put too much blame on you giys. To be honest, I was terrified to see you."

She turned around to face him, even though he couldn't see her. "Oh? And why's that?"

"'Cause. I thought you'd beat my ass. Or your boyfriend might've."

She actually choked. "Boyfriend!?" She shrieked.

"Rhydar, right?"

She quickly threw on a decent shirt and ripped jeans and spun Runner around. "That dickhead is not my boyfriend, no matter how much he tries to flirt with me."

"You were flirting back, don't lie."

She crossed her arms. "He can't beat me at my own game. I flirted with lots of people to get some cash. I'm a master at the art, and he can only dream of surpassing me."

He studied her face, judging her sincerity, then letting out and inward sigh. So I do have a chance.

She smirked, recognizing the look he had on his face. She stepped back again, spreading arms dramatically. "So, do I look decent for society?" She wore a cream crop top that brushed her ribs, exposing some of her scars–including the large and very prominent one running up the middle of her stomach–and dark blue ripped skinny jeans. Her gold hair was a mess from the attack of the comforter, and her feet were bare.

"Are you gonna walk out there barefoot, or am I gonna have to carry you?" He asked, decided to forgo the comment of the hair.

(Never mind, my computer was just going insane

She grinned and brushed past him. "I think I'll go barefoot. A subtle act of rebellion." Even as she spoke, she slipped on sandals and grabbed some cash off of the bed stand. "Good to go?"

He shrugged. "Yeah, let's go." He frowned for a moment. "Do you think Cin is mad at me?"

She ushered him out, shutting and locking the door behind them before leading him through the dormitory. "No. Just concerned. She knows what it's like to unravel family secrets that might not be pleasant."

"Is there any way I can talk to her, too?"

She frowned at his line of questioning. "Why?" She pouted. "Had enough of me already?"
