[she wrote that text out without really thinking much of it, not knowing exactly how it would affect Legoshi because that wolf is still really hard to get a read on.

anyway, when he arrives, she's sitting up at the edge of her dorm bed, facing the door as though she was sitting there waiting for him for all fifteen minutes. and considering the various states of undress he's seen her in, she's definitely decent: in an overlarge shirt and spare gym shorts she wears for PJs.]

You're ok, it's only me in here. [she's in the process of working through her post-sleep drunkenness.] Now come on in before the dorm mother sees a big grey wolf nosing around the small herbivore dormitory.

[playfully chiding him, as best she can in her current state at least.]

thread start;

[ His ears perk forward at the sight of her swimming in that oversized t-shirt—frozen for just a moment until her soft voice guides him inside, reminding him to be heedful and to close the door. He carries a plastic bag with him. ]

How're you feeling, Haru? I brought water and—

[ He walks over and kneels down in front of her, resting the bag on the floor and carefully pulling each item out to present in his large palms. ]

They had both the strawberry and papaya flavor so I got you both. Figured you could save the other for later. I hope that's okay.

[ His eyes will meet hers then—behind him, his tail calmly sways. ]

[Even semi-drunk and having fallen intentionally into bushes all last night, Haru still manages to be alert to certain social expectations and her own desire to keep Legoshi out of trouble in the small, mundane ways she possibly can.

As he kneels down, she leans forward, a bad decision because she feels a wave of unbalance where she has to catch herself slightly, one hand bracing herself against the end of her bed. It's done in a quick motion, attempting to hide it from Legoshi both to keep him from being overly concerned about her, but also in an instinct of a prey animal hiding weakness, even with her guard being down a bit thanks to the alcohol.]

You didn't need to get both...I'll have to pay you back for everything. [She means it! Asking for a favour but wanting to be an equal party where it matters. Tamping down on the way her heartrate elevates in a pleasant way whenever he looks her in the eye, at her level, she smiles, taking the papaya flavour from him.] But it's okay, it just means you'll have to eat the strawberry yogurt with me.

Really? Too graphic for someone with your sensitive disposition? There was no other way to describe it.

Nothing happened anyway.

thread start;

Well... It's good that you didn't actually explode.

Yeah? Why's that?

It’s Legosi-kun. Do you even have to ask why?

[honestly riz.]

[ yeah he... kinda did, but... ]

How long have you both been together?

Uh...depends.

[ he's pretty sure he's being nosy. but whatever, he thinks haru would tell him as much if it were a bother. ]

Oh. Was it one of those situations where you weren't sure if you were dating or not, at least for a while?

[Riz knows probably more about Legosi with regard to some things than she does, so she feels ok talking about this with him as long as it's framed more about the wolf and less about her. so!!]

Yeah. It's hard to figure out the usual thing normal couples would know, like anniversaries and stuff.

But I guess I'd say...idk. How long ago was it when you tried killing him?

[IF YOU WANT LET'S PRETEND THIS IS WHEN RIZ IS ON PAROLE OR SOMETHING IDK!!!]

[ parole it is! ]

[ oh... hm. while riz has had plenty of time to reflect, the mention of it still illicits an internal flinch. but it's only fair to answer, right? alas i don't remember specific timespans, so insert some number here that is greater than a few years! ]

[that sure is a number!!]

Well then...maybe a few months or a year less than that? I think?

Maybe??

[WHY YOU ASKING HIM HARU ASK YOUR STUPID BF.]

[ ... haru ... ]

You both really have this be complicated... It's kinda intimidating.

You saying it’s intimidating is kind of funny…

[u kno. because you’re a bear?]

I think it’s normal for relationships between herbivores and carnivores to be complicated though. If it was easy…idk.

We wouldn’t be where we are today, yknow?

We do have a long way to go.

[ .. also says the bear, who's consumed his classmate. and tried to murder various animals over it. but he has come somewhat far, himself, in that he can at least acknowledge that. everyone knows things are far from perfect. ]

Is it awkward?
If I ask you about these sorts of things?

No, why would it be awkward?

I know you have no ulterior motive when you ask me about these sorts of things.

[as-in, she knows this guy is probably Gay As Hell and not trying to be weird or gross about carnivore/herbivore relationships specifically with her.]

[..] I could think of a few reasons it might be weird. If you say so, though, that's good enough for me.

Thank you, Haru.
