... wearing her glasses. unusual.]

[notmagnificent]

[wandering in from being out, has That Jacket back, mysteriously.]

Someone's comfy.

[atonceiknew]

[notices... but looks concerned only for half a second.]

Being comfy is important.

[notmagnificent]

I'll join you.

[atonceiknew]

... All right.

[notmagnificent]

[shrugs off jacket, getting under the kotatsu and tilting his head at her. :T]

[atonceiknew]

[glances over from the tv.]

... Yes?

[notmagnificent]

You look cute in glasses.

[atonceiknew]

[NOT BLUSHING and looks away]

—Something was wrong with my contacts.

[notmagnificent]

Lucky me.

[atonceiknew]

[>:T]

I didn't think you would notice.

[definitely a lie. wore them on purpose.]

[notmagnificent]

Why wouldn't I notice?

[atonceiknew]

[turns back to the tv.]

... No reason.

[notmagnificent]

... Why wouldn't I notice, Astridr?

[atonceiknew]

[... glances at his jacket.]

You got it back.

[notmagnificent]

Yeah.

[???]

[atonceiknew]

[takes a breath like she's going to say something, but all she says in the end is:]

... That's good.

[notmagnificent]

[looks ... at the tv ...]

If there's something you want to say, you should just say it.

[atonceiknew]

[it's almost a full minute before she answers.]

Did you... talk to her?

[notmagnificent]

Oh. Yeah, we went for coffee.

[atonceiknew]

Oh.

[why does this bother her so much and why can't she just lie and smile about it, argh]

... Did you have fun?

[notmagnificent]

It was pretty nice.

[atonceiknew]

[deflates]

Oh.

[notmagnificent]

... Ah, we went out to the riverbank afterwards. It's actually really quiet around there.

[atonceiknew]

[STUPID leifr]

Oh.

[notmagnificent]

... And then we just talked.
