[ 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. ]
[sheâs still embarrassed over her own eagerness, hand coming up to her face to make sure she doesnât look weird or anything. but there is a rather pleased feeling coming off of her, comforted by ichiroâs words and touched by his understanding. her own steady thrum of anxiety persists, but itâs muffled now.
itâs a little like realizing sheâs safer here than she thought. even if sheâs a little embarrassed by his fondness.]
⊠thatâd be fun then⊠um, maybe one of those co-op sidescrollers? Or - whatever youâd like to play! The floor will change to DDR mats and whatnot if youâd 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]
