[Day 153] I understood the meaning of love... [OPEN]

[hellpyre]

Who: Rin and YOU!
Open: Open
When: 153, afternoon
Where: The Gazebo
What: The past few days have been difficult, but Rin is in a surprisingly good mood today. Apparently that's enough to warrant randomly singing??
Format: Starting in action, but I'll folow
Warnings: Rin being Rin is a given by now.

[The past few days had been a whirlwind of emotion. Some good, some bad, but all of it actually fairly exhausting. In it, though, Rin had gotten out some much needed things that had been bottling up for some time, and in a stark contrast to the anger that had nearly destroyed the kitchen, she found herself in a surprisingly good mood this day.

Like. Really good mood.

Good enough to apparently sing. Which she didn't do very often at all. Sometimes she could be caught humming a song while working, but actually singing something?

Well, she did used to be in the church choir growing up, so it wasn't that far fetched of an idea. But it had been years since then, and her voice was a little out of practice.

Still, something about that good mood compelled her to make her way over to the gazebo where the piano was. She couldn't play (Yuki could, but even she had fallen out of practice with that in recent years, too) but she knew enough to strike a note and start from there. She wasn't singing to anyone in particular, and the song that came out of here surprisingly wasn't a church hymn.]

Kuon no shijima yagate sora ni
aoku aoku tokete nijinde

sugu ni sugu ni mirai wo yobu...

[It didn't quite sound the same without some accompaniment, but she still got rather in to it. Enough that she probably wouldn't notice if some one stopped to listen...]

Comments

[hellpyre]

[It is possible, even if Rin still has doubts.]

How uhm... how have you been doin'? I know we don't talk much...

[blackblooded]

[A little smile.]

Things... um... things are better now. Maka's here, you know. Not the first Maka, but a different one.

[hellpyre]

... oh. Yeah. I... think I saw her, a little while ago.

[blackblooded]

["Saw her", not "talked to her". Not to this Maka. Rin doesn't want to talk to this Maka.]

She... um... I'm sure she would talk to you. If you wanted.

[hellpyre]

[Yeah she has kind of been... subconsciously avoiding Maka. For good reason. She had been really close to the one that was there before.]

... I know.

[blackblooded]

... i-it's all right if you don't want to talk to her.

[hellpyre]

It's-- ... I miss him, y'know? I know he wasn't... the right one for you, and I always felt bad, that I couldn't do anythin' about that... I just--...

We started here together. And it still feels weird, not havin' him around. And all the others...

[Rin looks away then, rubbing at her upper arm]

You, me and Bon... we're the last ones left from that first group that made it here after the Calamity.

[blackblooded]

There... there are lots of people who aren't here anymore. The boy Maka. Miss Marie. Osahar. Lots of people.

[hellpyre]

I hate it. Every time we lose one...

[It makes her feel like she's not doing enough, not protecting people, not keeping people safe.]

[blackblooded]

At least... um... at least we have some people. There are more and more people all the time.

[hellpyre]

Well. ... yeah.

[That was a positive. And Rin had managed to help a lot of those people, too.]

... she's... not that different from him, is she?

[Back to Maka again.]

[blackblooded]

... um... there are different worlds, you know. I think... I think maybe she isn't my Maka, the Maka I knew. She's different. She might be more like the boy Maka.

[hellpyre]

But you still think I should talk to her, right?

[blackblooded]

She.... she's Maka.

[hellpyre]

[Rin will take that as a yes.]

... I'll talk to her then.

[blackblooded]

[It was a yes. Maka, well, Maka is Maka.]

I-is there anyone I should talk to? People you know?

[hellpyre]

Uhm... I'unno. I probably couldn't name just one person. I mean there's Bon, but you kinda know him already.

[blackblooded]

I'll talk to him more. Maybe.

... He's hard to talk to.

[hellpyre]

Mmm... not if you get to know him a little more.

[blackblooded]

... he's scary.

[hellpyre]

[Rin had to laugh at that]

Oh please. He's all bark and no bite to everyone that ain't an enemy. He gets pissy and yells a lot but seriously, he wouldn't hurt anyone he considers a friend.

[blackblooded]

He's loud. I don't know how to deal with loud people.

... I don't think he considers me a friend.

[hellpyre]

Tell him that. Tell him he's upsettin' you. Really with him you just gotta be honest.

[blackblooded]

[Crona cringes, shifting weight from one foot to the other.]

I don't think I could do something like that.

[hellpyre]

Really? You just told me how you feel.
