[Haseo is back and brings with her some scenery. Her back's against the wall, and she's looking up at the sky...sort of.

She doesn't look too happy, to tell the truth. More specifically, she looks like she's been through a massive awkward turtle moment. Which she has.]

Jeez, visiting them was just plain weird...guess it could've been worse, though. But I think it's gonna take a lot more than that to make things okay again.

... I can imagine.

[Thinks for a moment and shakes her head.] Do you still... get along with them, at least?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

...Guess so. It's not like I argued with 'em or anything. But, well - some things kinda went badly a while ago, and it's probably going to take a while before things are okay again.

[Nods. She knows how that is sorta.]

[Also have an odd and probably very blunt question.]

Do they love you?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

...Ah. [Pauses for a long time, with a kind of out-of-it look on her face. She's thinking, she's thinking. If they cared, then that explains why they didn't want to tell her the truth; on the other hand, it would've ruined that guy's plans if she'd known, and they'd been loyal enough to him to take her in and so on...] ...That's a good question. I don't know.

[Bites her lip for a second.]

I'm sorry. [Puts a hand on Haseo's shoulder, wibbling very slightly.]

...Ah? [Looks surprised for a second. ... SHOULDERPATS/SURPRAIZ PHYSICAL CONTACT, WHY.] ...It's okay. Besides, it's - it's probably just me having trouble. Some stuff went down, and...it was pretty recent. It'll probably be okay, after a while.

[Hesitates for a second before veeery lightly patting the hand on her shoulder. How do I dealt with this? D:]

[Notices that Haseo seems to be juuuust as uncomfortable as she is so she removes her hand.]

I'm glad. It's hard to bounce back after bad things... but I think you can do it. You seem pretty strong.

I try to be. Though sometimes it doesn't do a thing. [Closes her eyes for a moment. Yeah, if there's one thing the past has taught her...] ... Thank you.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[Thinks for a second and disappears for a second, coming back with two packs of Koala's March (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala%27s_March) cookies and hands one to Haseo.]

These always make me feel better.
