[ aww, iris. he's good natured about getting his butt kicked, if his emotions are anything to tell. he reaches out to give her a handshake, no problem. ]
Good game. [ heh. ]
Hearin that makes me glad we've got this room. I mean - I was glad anyway, this is the coolest place ever. [ winter dorm supremity... our get good plaque. there's a big grin on his face, and emotionally, he radiates some of that fondness, too. it's all just genuine warmth; his love for winter dorm is really, really strong. ] But, also cause that just means we all gotta keep playing games together with you. Means we've got a lot of lost time to make up for, right?
If you've got something you've always wanted to co-op, I'm down to play.
[that makes her laugh a bit and - goodness, she answers his love of winter dorm with her own. the fondness, the adoration, the protectiveness over her home. but thereās also something a bit sheepish about her feelings at the offer to play some more - even as the excitement bubbles first - ]
[a beat and then she pulls back, playing with her hair ]
I - well, that is, if youād like to. [embarrassedā¦]
ā¦ Iād like that. I havenāt reached the point in my fief where I can properly invent electricity, so I havenāt gotten to play games in a very long time and - well, even when I did, I didnāt have anyone to play with, and soā¦
[ okay, but like, that excitement is cute as hell. it doesn't quite catch ichiro off guard, but he brightens with it, too, laughing a little bit - fond, as that fondness across his emotions seems to grow by the second. it's probably just a fondness for winter dorm i wouldn't worry about it
as she stops and plays with her hair and pulls back a little, that fondness stays, and ichiro's smile softens a bit. ]
's not pitiful. I didn't really have anyone to play with for a while, either - and outside of Jiro, I still really don't. You're in good company. [ or, at least if it's pitiful, they both are. ichiro doesn't really have time to make friends his age, and... the only friend that he had that was like that he's ever made left in a storm and a flurry. so... in some ways, he gets it. ]
[sheās still embarrassed over her own eagerness, hand coming up to her face to make sure she doesnāt look weird or anything. but there is a rather pleased feeling coming off of her, comforted by ichiroās words and touched by his understanding. her own steady thrum of anxiety persists, but itās muffled now.
itās a little like realizing sheās safer here than she thought. even if sheās a little embarrassed by his fondness.]
ā¦ thatād be fun thenā¦ um, maybe one of those co-op sidescrollers? Or - whatever youād like to play! The floor will change to DDR mats and whatnot if youād like to play that too.
[ she does not look even a little weird. he grins at her when she makes her suggestion, though, delighted with the idea! and a little encouraging, too, easily open with the expression of emotion and - well, sheer joy. he never does anything less than one hundred, after all, and after so many years of misery, ichiro's a big fan of letting happiness loose when its around. happy she's happy, and happy to play along with it.
thoughtfully, he taps his hands against the side of the controller. ]
Iiii... probably shouldn't play ddr. [ his. injuries. ] So, a co-op sidescroller, then! Let's see... we could play Unravel, or maybe a Mario game, there's like a zillion of those.
Oh, I haven't tried Unravel... Let me go set it up then.
[she'll reach out to just brush her fingers against his arm, insisting that he stay seated then as she goes to switch things up. why are her winters still hurt. get healed you fucking nerds.]
You know, if there's more Healing Item coupons laying around, perhaps you should consider seeking one out....
[ sweats a little... he will sit back then! he's gonna reach over for a coke or something from the snacks area and pop the top and behave himself while she gets it set up. ]
It's not that bad right now - nothin' regular first aid and burn cream can't take care of. [ but because he can already feel the Look coming - ] But I'll ask around. Okay?
[very smart amendment at the end. she'll get the game switched before turning to him and giving him a smile. her emotions clearly reflect her protectiveness.... her dorm needs to be Healthy and Good - at least as much as possible]
