[ there. she managed to say something without sounding like an idiot. it's fine. they're doing fine.

so why do her cheeks feel wet and blotchy? why is her breath starting to get shaky? ]

Oh. Oh, jeez, I'm. I'm sorry, I didn't think.

[ and that's about all she manages to get out before she has to bury her face in her hands, muffling the sobs that she didn't manage to stop in time. ]

[liedol]

[ . . .

Oh, that isn't how that was supposed to go at all. ]

Oh - jeez, um, I didn't mean to- [ She parroting the other girl's fluster right back at her like a dummy. Not helpful, Ai! ] H-here, I'm sure I've got...

[ It takes her a few seconds of patting herself down to even remember that her dress has pockets, let alone where they are but once she dips her hand into one she manages to produce her hankie (clean, promise!) and offers it, with her free hand tentatively squeezing the other bunny's shoulder. ]

Here, use this...!

[wingstosee]

Sorry! I'm sorry. I'm really- I swear, I don't usually cry, I just. [ bottle it up and pretend nothing's wrong because at least that way she doesn't end up snapping at someone. you know. ] No, you don't need to do that, I- I don't want to get your stuff dirty...

[ she wipes at her eyes with the butt of her hand, trying to calm herself until she finally lets enough of it out. it's not like she looks good a full minute later, all blotchy and red, but at least she can talk without stammering. ]

Sorry. It's like... It wasn't real until you said it? And now it is. And that's scary, and I should hate that, but- but I don't, because it's still better than going back, and. I'm rambling again. I'm sorry.

[ with those wide blue eyes still trembling, she looks ai dead in the eye and says in an almost manically polite tone: ]

I'm Ken- Kinsei. Kinsei like the planet. Um. What's your name, ma'am?

[liedol]

It's okay...! Seriously, that's what it's for, right? [ She presses the hankie a little insistently into the other girl's hand. ] Go ahead and use it.

[ Is it mean if she's a little relieved? She doesn't want anyone to be crying, exactly, but seeing that she's not the only one overwhelmed and not sure what to make of things... it makes her feel a little better, at least. ]

You can just call me Ai. Don't worry about formalities and stuff. We're all supposed to be looking out for each other, right?

[ As if to prove that, Ai turns the wattage on her smile up a little more. ]

Kinsei's a really pretty name.
