week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Hey.

[ And there he is, smile and all, with a cup (of soda, thanks) for each of them. He offers one to her. ]

Not your kind of thing?

[brokencode]

Not even a little.

[The soda is accepted with one hand, while other reaches out, palm up. Hold her hand, Rhys?]

What about you? Will you sing?

[plugout]

[ Rhys places his hand over hers, fingers curling around hers. He gives her hand a tiny squeeze. ]

Me, sing? Nooooo, no no. No way. I don't-- nope. Not me.

[brokencode]

[The reaction quickly netted a laugh from Angel. What a complicated way to just say no.]

That's fine. We can sit together and enjoy the show together, then.

[plugout]

Sounds good to me.

[ He leads her on over to a more comfortable spot. ]

This okay?

[brokencode]

It is perfect.

[She settled in first, releasing Rhys' hand for just a moment. As soon as she was comfortable, she patted the space beside her, then held her hand out, palm up.]

Enjoying yourself?

[plugout]

[ He has only a moment to miss the warmth of her hand before he's grasped it again, once he's settled in. ]

Enjoying people singing to ridiculous songs? Totally. What about you?

[brokencode]

[If it was warmth he was looking for, Rhys wouldn't be disappointed. Once he had settled in, Angel leaned against him. It was a slow, hesitant sort of gesture, testing the water to make sure it was something they were both comfortable with.

Of course, she quickly found that at least she was.]

Now that people are done trying to coerce me into singing, yes -- I am quite enjoying myself.

[plugout]

[ It might be hesitant on Angel's part, but Rhys welcomes it. Physical contact that's not him being hit? Hell yeah. ]

They tried to force you into singing? Seriously?

[brokencode]

Succeeded, actually... [She fixed him with a sheepish look, skin turning red as she remembered.]

Junpei convinced me.

[plugout]

Haha, really?

[ He sounds a little surprised! ]

Kind of wish I'd gotten here in time to hear it.

[brokencode]

It... you really did not miss much.

[Boy, was she relieved he hadn't been there. It would have been embarrassing.]

I'm glad you are here now, though. I missed you.

[plugout]

You sure?

[ He thinks she might be selling herself a little short, but... he won't embarrass her intentionally. ]

I missed you, too. Honestly, if I would've been here? I would've gotten up with you. Then I could've made an idiot of myself for you.

[brokencode]

Another time, then. We can make fools out of ourselves together. How about that?

[Anything to spend just a little more time with him.]

[plugout]

Haha, sounds like a great plan. Pinky promise?

[ He holds out his pinky. ]

[brokencode]

[How many times have they done this now? Angel wrapped her pinky around his own.]

Pinky promise.

[plugout]

[ He grins, moving their joined hands up and down once. ]

Hah, just another one, right?
