Yeah, and you did it, didn't you? ( that was more than enough.
lavi honestly didn't place his full, undivided trust into many individuals, but he felt he could believe in riruka. at least count on her to take care of lenalee. or at least keep her eyes out for her, and that counted for something, even if he would never explicitly show it. even if he decided he wouldn't feel it, either. but, as usual, he brushes it off with a simple statement: ) Wouldn't hurt you to be more honest. I mean, I think Lenalee is pretty fond of you as well.
[ there's a bit of a snarl in her voice when she replies: ] You don't know what'll hurt me.
[ and then she seems to calm. ] Pigtails isn't bad. A little quiet, but if she can stand to be around guys like you and Scarface, then she's gotta be pretty damn strong.
( he's quiet at first. that was fair enough. he might have even deserved that response considering That One Talk. so he just does his best to laugh it off with a light exhale. ) True, though I'd like to think— ( except, he pauses. )
S-scarface? ( really riruka? ) But yeah, she is. ( he deliberates on saying this or not, however, the decision is an easy one. one that came out a bit too naturally. ) But so are you. That's probably why you two get along.
( he nods along, even if she can't see it over the line. ) Yeah. ( that's all he offers in response to that. though, his tone seems genuine enough. ) I'll get in contact with your amazing self after everything's resolved, all right?
( but, before he hangs up, he offers a final: ) Glad we can talk like before. ( and he times it to a tee. down to every last second. as soon as his words end, the line has already been cut. )
