There's not really much to discuss... It's nice to know that time doesn't pass back home while we're here and all, but that doesn't mean I don't still think about my family from time to time. And it is nicer here than it was in Tokyo - objectively, it's much better, actually, near-apocalypses aside. But Tokyo was familiar in ways that Verens isn't.
It's all things like that; again, nothing to worry about.
[The crystal is feeling a bit strange, though; nothing aggressively negative, but it's definitely gone muted in a way that his messages usually don't.]
[Well, he can't say he understands, not really. This place is better than Fuyuki too, but that's because Fuyuki is boring. He can't say he misses it at all, though he at least understands the desire for something familiar.]
Well, I can't say I totally get it, but I think I can see where you're coming from. You won't be missing out on anything back home, but you're still here alone. It doesn't matter how many people you meet here, you can't replace them, right?
[He doesn't need the confirmation on that one, at least?]
...I'm really sorry, Tsukiyama. I'm still kind of a work-in-progress when it comes to sympathy and stuff, but I really do mean it.
You don't have to dismiss it like that if you don't want to. I don't mind listening. But if you don't want to talk about it, I'm not going to make you.
[The crystal is still warm, though it's lacking the excitement. There is some intensity there that can probably be summed up as "Ryuunosuke is trying really hard" so there's that.]
No, no, it's all right! I promise, it is. It's just something I think about from time to time, that's all; I wrote to Daimonia a while ago and talked about it a bit, that's probably what set it off.
[...]
Well, that, and I'm not...entirely alone here - there's someone I recognize, we're just...well, we don't get along particularly well, unfortunately enough.
Oh, yeah, I wrote to her too. It was... kind of a disaster. I should never write letters ever.
[BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT...]
I was gonna say "at least you're not alone here" but it sounds like maybe it'd be better if you were... Sorry to hear that! But hey, at least you've got me!
Ah, giocoso - why would I be joking? I go out with people all the time. It's just a date, Uryuu-san, it's not like I'm proposing marriage... Really, keep this up and I'll start thinking that no one's ever asked you out on one.
That's actually going to get him to start laughing and he's kind of afraid he won't be able to stop because wow, this isn't just excitement, he's actually really happy which is... new.]
Yeah, yeah, alright? I'll totally go out with you.

Is there anything I can do to help? I can listen, if you think talking about it will help any.

[Well that's going to get the crystal to heat up a lot more, alright.]
Yeah, of course! I'm glad to know you like me that much!

[Well, it seems like his own emotional energy level is back up, anyway.]

[He sounds totally pleased with this though, good lord. There are also so many of those little roses blooming again dear god.
...Actually... hmm. Let him try something--]
But I'm not gonna stop you! I am totally here for flattery!

At this rate, we ought to just make a proper date of it next week.

HIS CACTI ARE GROWING FLOWERS WHICH HE SHOULD PROBABLY BE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BUT HE'S TOO BUSY DYING OF EMBARRASSMENT]
No, of course not! It's j-just... you're really hot--
[STUPID MENTAL CRYSTAL BULLSHIT
YOU'RE GETTING THE EQUIVALENT OF MENTAL STATIC WHILE HE TRIES TO SORT HIMSELF OUT OKAY]

[...THANKS, TSUKIYAMA.]
All the more reason to go out, then, isn't it?
no subject
[WHAT AN ASSHOLE
That's actually going to get him to start laughing and he's kind of afraid he won't be able to stop because wow, this isn't just excitement, he's actually really happy which is... new.]
Yeah, yeah, alright? I'll totally go out with you.
no subject
[And he does sound genuinely pleased with it.]
Just let me know when would be good, all right?
no subject
[...]
Uh, is that too forward?
[HE NEVER CARED ABOUT THAT BEFORE
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM]
no subject
[Whether that was something he intended to say or stupid crystal bullshit is a bit hard to discern, but he doesn't seem bothered either way.]
I'll let you know after I've slept a bit, all right? I'll probably be returning back to the apartment in a little while.
no subject
[he's going to be bright red forever, thanks]
Alright! I'll be looking forward to it! Ah, but that doesn't mean you have to rush or anything! So uh... yeah.
[god, he's bad at this]
...And Tsukiyama? Thanks.

[Aaaand that, from the sound of it, is going to be it for the evening.]
