And-- and I love them, and I hope they're doing okay without me, and taking care of each other, and...
... a-and maybe I'll think of other things to say, too. [ This is hard.
She takes another bite of her burger to hide her emotions. Totally normal conversation - sending a message to your friends you might never see again, across universes. ]

Date: 2022-05-28 10:20 am (UTC)It's bittersweet, when she finally comes up with something to say-- there's a sadness to his smile, ruminating on how obvious it was she still cared for them, and knowing in his heart that... if they were sent back to their world one day, she'd still be gone forever.]
I'll tell them. [He chuckles a little, fond despite the touch melancholy.] And if you think of anything else to tell them, you can let me know. I'll be sure to let them know.

She looks up suddenly. ]
Hinata-kun. You owe me a game!

I... I guess that's true...
[That was.... kind of the last thing he'd ever said to her back in their world, huh? He tries not to dwell on it.]
...W-What-- like, right now?!

Date: 2022-06-03 06:33 am (UTC)[ She puts down the burger and looks around. The arcade's pretty quiet, but-- she can turn anything on she wants to.
She gets up from where they're sitting and jogs into the back, where she hits the switch that turns on the cabinet's power circuits - as the machines start up, she hurries back out to the front, digging a small sack of tokens out of her pocket. ]
This one doesn't have co-op like the one back home, but we can alternate turns! Come on!
[ And she leads him over to one of the cabinets-- Galaga. Not quite her favorite game - but pretty close. ]
i literally don't have an icon for this expression lol
Date: 2022-06-05 08:57 am (UTC)It quickly silences any words of protest he could've put up. Sure, he'd played it a few times since coming here, just out of nostalgia-- but it's different now, thinking about those sunset-framed afternoons like they were real, playing together despite how much they'd have to restart because he was losing, a few drops from the fountain occasionally escaping the stream.
The smile on his face is different than usual, something warmer, and happier; maybe it's the genuineness that makes it different, or the fact that it's relaxed, without being keyed up for the next possibility.
Hinata gets up from his seat easily, following her over to the machine, making sure his eye was still in place.]
Alright-- but I warn you, I've gotten a lot better...!

Date: 2022-06-06 06:51 am (UTC)I'll bet we could get to twelve times in a row! Maybe more!! [ She starts up the game and breezes through the first round - she's so excited that she almost loses a life at one point, but she pulls through with a perfect score - and then steps aside to let him play.
She tries not to let her excitement show too much, but she can't help bouncing on her feet a little - this is the first time, in a year or more, that they've been able to play together. And she missed it a lot, and-- she thought she'd run out of chances, but-- he's here, and it's like old times again. ]
