[...Well. Masaomi has things to do today. None of which is talking with Hitagi because he knows he might be liable to be killed there and what with the draft he has other concerns. But! He will be cornering his roomie Freyjadour to talk to him sometime this morning as well he won't object to talking to Mikado (particularly in wake of

[What. Okay, mental note to ask Kaori about that later. But he nods, and then flips up off the bed]

Soooo... have you talked to her afterwords?

[action]

[generalflirt]

Eeeeh~ would you believe I wanted to check on my lovely Kaori-chan?

[Complete with a little awkward itch of the back of his head but also an easy shrug. Frey must be dragging his feet or something. Oh well]

[action]

[seiriald]

Checking on me...? [Oh gods don't say he's figured out about her refusing to eat without anyone to share the meal with~! ;A;]

[action]

[generalflirt]

Weeeell, it's been a long while since Valentines, hasn't it?

[And now he moves a bit closer... but as opposed to touching her or anything, he just settles for taking a seat at a nearby place to take a seat]

[action]

[seiriald]

A-a week since the actual holiday... [Where is this going, Masaomi? She doesn't like it.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

A week? I think it's been a little more than that... are you feeling okay, Kaori-chan? [With an intent look. One which, well. There's a very follow up questions, but let's see how she handles this one]

Re: [action]

[seiriald]

A little more than that, you're right... [You're making her feel nervous with that look even if she can't see it.]

I'm... feeling okay, but... confused?

[action]

[generalflirt]

Mm. [He nods here, and then pats at a space next to him to sit. He doesn't know if she'll follow suit, but it's an offer] And not sick? After all, I hear losing feathers can do bad things to someone.

[This is said a little casually, flippant, almost. But that behavior is more than weird enough for there to be a need to question it]

[action]

[seiriald]

[... Frey told him about the feather? She just wants to shut herself in her room again and not come out again, but she forces herself to come closer to him anyway. Just not sitting yet.]

It didn't last long, but I don't know what's the norm...

[action]

[generalflirt]

I've never tried it... [...Hm. That reaction? Clearly, there's something at work here.] So why did you do it?

[action]

[seiriald]

Stupidity? [Not the most accurate or honest answer, but it's the first one that comes to mind. Followed by desperation, after all... Frey was a lot like him, Aldreios... The kind of guy she would want to promise to be by forever.

But he wasn't Aldreios, no matter how similar. What would he and their fathers think of this? ... It hurt.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

[...Well, that confirms his suspicions. Something between suspicion and concern wells up inside of him as he considers this. Concern about both Kaori and Frey, suspicion at her: there is a lot he doesn't know about her, ranging from subtle not-quite-human traits about her appearance to... well.

The point is, he needs to know this. He focuses intently on her face]

Maybe, but that's not the reason itself.

[action]

[seiriald]

What do you mean? [Scary. This was starting to scare her a little, because how many times did a conversation like this turn into her being punished and another Human dead?

Please stop looking at her, even if she can't see it. Because she doesn't know what you want from her and her natural programming is making her feel terrible for it.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

The feather means something, doesn't it...? [He trails off here, sighing. He breaks the gaze with a shake of his head and then leaping up so instead of sitting, he's now crouching on his previous chair position]

But I don't know what. I'm asking you what it means.

[action]

[seiriald]

... Yes. It means a lot, where I'm from... [Still scared, because is it really safe to share such information with someone she barely trusted? But then again... it would be nice to let someone know.]

[action]

[generalflirt]

[...] It's a token of love, right?
