[As she's still sitting on his bed, leaning back would make little sense, so Kaname shifts just a little to get comfortable again. Waiting for him to have some soup, her eyes glance around the room. It's sparsely decorated, but there's more than when he first arrived. She considers that a good thing.]

You're being silly again, Messer. I didn't think you'd have it in you so soon. [It's not a deflection technique, not really. Kaname well knows he means it, and she knows he's aware how silly it is. Good thing she's a talented dancer, or she'd have tripped up during this one ages ago.]

I'll stop worrying when you do. Simple as that.

[Oof. Kaname, really? ...Okay, so he's a hypocrite, but she doesn't have to call him out on it.]

...Don't ask for the impossible.

[What else is he good for, if not that?]

[axi]

[Her smile's as pleasant as always, very aware of his feelings on the matter.]

I wasn't asking for anything. I don't think either of wants to stop, deep down. If we did, what would that say about us?

[There's a difference between absolute faith and not caring. It's called worrying.]

[vartex]

Hm. Those around us would probably question if we're the real thing.

[Imposter, you've failed to care about your teammate! Yeah, those in Delta and Walkure can be a little predictable when it comes to each other, sometimes.

Her words are reassuring, though, and it shows in his body language, just subtly.]

[axi]

Among other things, yes.

[Moving from the bed, Kaname instead takes a place on the desk chair nearby.]

Next time, I'll try to find some word puzzles for you.

[He almost says "don't trouble yourself" but stops before he can get the words out; she'd just object to the trouble and do it anyway, so there's little point. He's learning, bit by bit.]

I'd appreciate that if you come across anything, thank you. If not, any book will be fine.

[axi]

How about an alien themed crossword? That might be a challenge for you.

[She might already have one waiting in her office.]

I'm not much of a linguist, but I could give it a try.

[He is nothing if not stubborn as hell.]
