[ Oh, that's close- he's not used to other people getting close first, doesn't usually like people touching him first, and ... circumstances hasn't really helped that; but the food they'd snacked on does, and he rests his head against hers, gaze lidding halfway in relaxation - more like a cat than the animal he's turning into. ]

Nah, we don't... Unless it's like, mm... You know those people stuck in the ice? Maybe they were infected too, and when it melts it carries their contaminated juices to whatever the source of that water is... Or something. [ He has a high school education at a school focused primarily on the performing arts, don't judge him. ] Or maybe it just happens when an area gets infected... Or maybe someone poisoned it deliberately.

[ Which sounds... bad, considering what else is down there, and he sighs softly, shifting to accommodate her a little better against his side; his hand lays innocently by her opposite side, not quite at the relationship (or cuddle food) point to settle on her waist proper. ]

Mmm, it sucked, that's all... I was kinda excited about somewhere dark and cool, but then it turned out to be such a pain.

You shouldn't talk about people's 'contaminated juices,' Ritsu-san ... [ Yako protests, mildly, from where she's resting against Ritsu. Because that's the truth, you just shouldn't! It doesn't make her pull away, though. The rest of what he says makes her fall silent, though, thinking it over. They don't really have all the answers right now, and as much as she's used to being in that position, it's also a little frustrating.

She sighs, chest heaving in and out. ]

... with that much ice, I think it must have been magic that put them there in the first place. [ She says, after a moment. This talk is really harshing her mellow groove, but at least Ritsu is a steadying presence at her side, making it easier. ] I think it's worth talking to the Wilders about it ... since I'm pretty sure they're going back there.

[ A pause. ]

This might sound strange, but ... I wish I could go. Even if they probably aren't going to be accepting anyone who isn't Bonded or experienced with combat, after this.

[nemuru]

That's an easy fix for a girl like you though, right? Just get a Bond and get some fighting experience.

[ He makes it sound so simple.

...but to him, it is, especially if it's Yako they're talking about. ]

You're cute and fun, so you'll probably get a who~le lot of offers if you put out an ad. [ Ritsu grins slightly, nuzzling the side of her head. the thought of her going back out there, somewhere that dangerous, doesn't wholly sit well with him- he doesn't reflect on it too much, quietly breathing in her scent since he's so close. ] Mmm, even I've got half of that... kinda. I've been in a couple of dangerous situations, anyway. Think that counts.

There's no harm in asking anyway. [ hmm-hmm♪ ] No one could refuse someone like you, Yako-chan... I know a couple of people like you, and that's the truth for them, so I figure it's the same.

[ people aren't so hard to figure out. he likes to think that, anyway. ]

[ Cute and fun...? Yako can certainly say she's never thought of herself in such terms, and she's still puzzling over that when he nuzzles against the side of her head, a contact she instinctively leans into. That's nice. This, here, is just nice overall, even if the topic they're discussing isn't terribly pleasant. Still, she laughs quietly against his side. ]

Miss Nel did give me a knife lesson, once. [ Not the most reassuring thing to say when she's close enough to stick Ritsu's kidneys, but... ]

Putting out an ad sounds strange. [ Is what she'll settle on finally, but not without a small smile. ] But it would be nice if it were that simple, wouldn't it? I wonder how many other mirrorbound have already found their Bonds.

[nemuru]

[ Ooh, knife lessons. It's cute to think of Yako wielding one. ]

Me too. Maybe we're the only two left without one. [ Well- he's pretty sure Rei doesn't have one, or anyone else from there... Maybe it's the effect of being an idol - not being allowed relations (not that that's really stopped any of them, but they're teenagers; they're still protected by the school; it's not as bad, and the climate is changing too, bit by bit) - or maybe the idea of linking your feelings together is just one none of them are too keen on.

Maybe no one really is. It's kind of a heavy thing, even with the levity the Coven seems to treat it with. Ritsu hums. ] Mmmmm, I guess I didn't mind it when we had one. It was kinda fun.

[ read: her reactions were fun. ]
