 Hiya~ This is Athena Cykes here! Sorry, I'm unable to answer your call, but leave your name and your number and I'll get back to you!

Au revoir!

[Rin thinks the magic was more in Athena's care and effort, really, but even he's not so sappy to say so outloud!]

Yeah, I know you do. Thanks for that too, heh.

But hey... You know the same goes for you, right? I know you try to shoulder stuff by yourself, but you've got friends here, okay?

[cykedfists]

Of course. [But it's natural for her to deal with her issues by herself if she can anymore.] It would be nice to find someone like you have. I guess I'm more oblivious than I realized I was.

[Since that time that Klavier found out...]

[jumpstheshark]

[Rin pauses quietly, choosing his words.]

He may come back, y'know. Other people have come, gone, then returned, it could happen.

Or... as much as I'd miss seeing you around, maybe you'll make it back to your world like him.

Just don't give up hope before you've even gotten to try, okay?

[cykedfists]

Yeah, maybe. I mean.. the others went home, but Klavier came so it's not as lonely. They might come back...

[And the last part sticks a bit more than the rest of it, but she gave a faint small.]

I'll just have to wait to see what happens. [And then there was a small pause.] Thanks, Rin. I'd miss you too.

[jumpstheshark]

That's what we all kinda gotta do here and just make the most of a weird situation, right?

[He grins a little bit.]

Anyway, thanks. For the rooting for me and just being around, okay?

[cykedfists]

Yep, basically.

Of course! I expect good things, okay?

[jumpstheshark]

Trust me, I don't want to screw this up. I want to NOT screw this up so bad, I can't even tell you.

[His projection looks and feels a little nervous and tense at the thought.]

Kinda worried since I don't have the best track record, but... I'm going to do my damnedest.

[cykedfists]

Well, I'll help with whichever way I can.

[jumpstheshark]

Mm, I know.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you because I'm stupidly happy about it. Just... don't tell him that, hah.

Not like he doesn't already know and he'll probably laugh at me about it anyway.

[cykedfists]

I'm sure he already knows.

[jumpstheshark]

Heh, y-yeah. Probably. [Which was scary enough, but knowing how literally transparent his emotions were here...]

See you soon okay? We should set up a regular run time or something! Pretty sure we're both doing it nearly every day anyway, right?

[cykedfists]

Yeah, that sounds great! I don't know why we haven't done it earlier.

[jumpstheshark]

Right? [He chuckles.] We can start. I'll leave a little earlier than usual and head to your place and we can start there?

[cykedfists]

Sure! Sounds good to me. I'll see you tomorrow then?

[jumpstheshark]

You got it!
