Beep beep! Or whatever Usagi's ringtone for texts is! It goes off, cause she's got one. It's from Kyouko.
Usagi. u there?
Usually, Usagi wouldn't be there. But Kyouko's caught her on one of her outings. She's at a cafe, charging her phone, a kindle, a tablet, and a few other things.
She picks up the phone after Kyouko's personalized text tone blips.
I'm here!
There's a long pause with no reply. Then:
did u tell saya-chan u wouldnt tell her where i was unless she promised not to hurt me again?
...oh dear.
Usagi gulps, trying to figure out how to reply.
Um...maybe something like...that...
Again it takes a few minutes for the reply to come through.
i wish u wouldnt make decisions like that for me. i know u mean well but im a tough chick. i can decide if i want to see her or not
Usagi slinks a bit in her chair.
I didn't mean...I know you are but...I would have told her! I wasn't holding you hostage!
There is decidedly not a lip wibble.
But before I could she said she wasn't ready!
it sure sounds like you were holding me hostage to her good behavior. ilu hon but u cant do that with saya-chan. shell take it too personally.
There's a pause, and Kyouko's sigh can almost be heard through the text.
its ok now, i talked to her but just... dont do that again, ok? at least without talkin to me first
As with Kyouko's sigh, Usagi's sniffles could probably be heard through text.
I'm sorry...
Sniffle! (It's not really Kyouko that made her cry. She's been on an emotional roller coaster for the past week or so.)
I didn't mean to make her feel bad. :( I won't do it again.
i kno u didnt mean it hon. dont worry, im not really mad. but it needed 2 b said.
There's another pause of a few moments, and then another text. its ok now anyway. i think things are back on track. she held my hand.
Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle! Nose wipe!
Okay. I wouldn't blame you if you were! I was really mean!
Then a watery smile!
Yay!
u weren't really mean. u were tryin to look out for me. i understand that and i apreciate it but saya-chan can be difficult to handle thats all
Kyouko doesn't seem to understand the irony in her of all people saying that.
yeah we had some trouble the other day but we got thru it. and i'm all better now. health-wise, i mean. so dont worry. hows mamoru?
I'll worry if I wanna!
HMPH!
Oh, wait.
Mamo-chan's getting better. People's been coming to see him, so if you wanted, I guess it'd be okay?
She sighs and sips her froo froo drink.
Kind of giving him a break from me. Haven't been handling the news about my friend too well.
''i will come see him soon. what happened to your friend???
Ooo, maybe he'd like some sake? I don't know!
More lip wibbling!
They took her! Mamo-chan said she's safeish because she doesn't know anything but why would they take her!
Now angry tears!
I tried to keep her safe from this crap!
No response again for a few moments, then,
who took her? who is her anyway??
Naru-chan. She's my oldest friend ;.; And the DK took her, and I'm afraid to think about what could or may happen and and and!
seriously? fuck those guys
Kyouko uses bad language when she is legitimately upset.
i am so sorry hon. if i can help, let me know. i have infinite amounts of payback stored up for them
Awwww, Kyou-kun :')
She gives a shakey sigh.
If there is, I'll let you know.
Her eyes darken a bit.
And so do I.
u got it, hon. i dont abandon my friends. ill always be there for u. remember that.
anyway. i'll be around to see mamoru soon, and ill probably see you then. stay safe.
Her smile is genuine! And she feels a bit better!
Thanks, Kyou-kun. And I'll be here for you, too!
Even if it leads to her doing something stupid again!
Oh I hope so! He's not really chatty a lot.
A pause.
Thanks, Kyou-kun. And tell Sayaka-chan I'm sorry?
i will. i don't think she's upset anymore. but i will. thx hon.
