nice word to me

the ( one thing i like about you ) meme
You've known this person forever. Wait. Reverse that. Scratch it out. You've never met this man in your life. No matter what the case may be, you've still got one little niggle in that brainpan of yours while they're standing in front of you.

You have to say, out loud, the one thing you find intrinsically, insanely attractive about them. Physically. Mentally. Randomly. After being familiar with them your whole life. After meeting them two seconds ago. You have to bear this burden. What's better (or worse)? They have to do the same in return. The two of you, stuck in this tango, must continue until someone breaks the curse, all secrets are revealed, you go insane, or kiss.

All of those options all at once is also accepted.

You're doing great, alright? For a complete newbie thrown in the deep end, you're swimming instead of sinking! Just give yourself a bit of patience while you deal with us all, and the--

Well, the decent ones are gonna give you grace back. The guys who don't...Ehh...

[You know who he means, Shiori. Don't worry about 'em.]

[deathinayear]

I think it's a little more frantic paddling than swimming, but.... I'll do my best to be more patient with myself.

[There's some blinking from the young woman hearing how Haru trails off, but at the same time--Her smile stops being so sheepish and looks a bit more warm hearing it.]

Thank you, Sagara-kun. You should try to give yourself a bit more credit, too.

[bahnti]

Think of it this way; you ever need a float ring, come over to Jabberwock and ask Ren! Or Towa and I, we'll help keep you afloat a bit longer!

As for me, don't you worry. I work hard, I know. And even if they can't say as much, I know all the kiddos appreciate what we do for them. I get my reward enough every day, gahaha!

[deathinayear]

I'll definitely remember you all.

[Chaotic as times could be with Jabberwock, at the very least--She knew she could depend on Haru and Towa, and... possibly Ren, granted he's out of his room and not cutting work. The man's at least not heartless is what she knows most.

And above all, if she really needed help--They would be there to lend a hand.]

I'm glad, then. I'll try to stop by this week after classes, I want to see how everyone's been doing!

[And of course lend a hand, maybe one day she'll stop constantly feeling like she needs to be useful.]

[bahnti]

You better, or I'll start getting hurt feelings. Or, even worse...Peekaboo is gonna get insulted.

[In comes the very stern 'boo, boo!' from said Peekaboo, pouting up at Shiori from the baby sling.]

But if you're dropping by soon, I can at least hold him off until then, gahaha! Just-- don't push yourself if you have other stuff on your plate, alright? I know how hard things hafta be for you, trying to juggle all of us begging for your attention. Even just poking your head in and saying hi to Towa would mean a lot to me too.

[deathinayear]

Honest, I'll do my best.

[Shiori's smile turns sheepish upon hearing the fluffy little mass's cry while looking very stern, head tilting as she offers a small 'sorry' towards Peekaboo. Hurting Haru's feelings alone would be terrible enough, but upsetting Peekaboo--Unacceptable!]

I know. There's a lot of collaboration missions piling up as of late, so my schedule is tight--But I can always relax here at Jabberwock, and Towa-kun is as good a listener as you are.

[--Well, when he's in the mood for it at least. The man could be somewhat whimsical at times.]

[bahnti]

That's all we can ask, is that you do your best and take care of yourself as much as you can. Our door's always open, and the fees are always waived for you, Shiori-chan.

[In lieu of stealing Alan's thunder by ruffling her hair, he instead reaches out to gently bump his fist against her shoulder, still affectionate without encroaching or smothering her.]

Hopefully, when it's our turn for a collab mission, it'll be cruisy as, and you can catch a break! That'd be nice, huh?
