Who: Seiko, Maeko.
What: Unpacking, chatting.
Where: Their room in the beach house.
When: Evening the day they arrived.
Why: Clothes need to be unpacked?

Seiko was sat on her bed with her bags piled in front of her staring at them with some suspicion, fully aware that her mother had repacked the bag just before Seiko left, giving her little time to change the clothes. She was pretty sure most of her comfortable and 'normal' clothes may have been replaced by her mother's favored designer brands.

"Hey Maeko-chan!" She said turning to her temporary roommate, "when do you want to do these fireworks anyway?"

Maeko's own packing had nothing in the way of photographs. It had very little in the way of 'personal' things at all, really, aside from her two dolls and the heavy english copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales. (Which, she supposed, was more than personal enough to make up the difference. This book was apparently her soul only made of words written in an achaic version of a stupid language). She had no summer homework left, the only other contents of her bag save for her clothes were her laptop, a first-aid kit and a torch.

"I...he was kind of. Not in a good state at all after my place. I...showed up in a different way from everyone else and he was the one who was around when." She sighed then looked up again, smiling sheepishly. "I went to make sure he was okay and to apologise and he give me, um..." She dug around in her bag for a while before realizing the bracelet was on her arm. She held her arm out, pointing to it. "This. And tried to confess in sign. He, um, got one of them wrong. But I understood what he meant. And it was a nice gesture!"

She laughed. "I asked him if he was joking at first."

"Awww that just so..so nice!" Seiko exclaimed with a sigh and cuddling the designer (and very small) tee shirt she was unpacking to her chest. She lent forwards across her bed to look at the bracelet, and for once feeling a little wistful thinking of how lucky her friend was to have someone like that. Well at least someone who tried to confess in a way that was personal, someone who tried hard for the person they cared about.

"Did you like him for a long time before that?" Seiko asked curiously, returning to her unpacking with a thoughtful expression as she sorted through the unfamiliar clothes that were packed.

"It really was sweet, I guess." Maeko said, thinking back. And then wishing she hadn't, because the whole incident was difficult to disconnect from her dungeon.

She twisted the glass beads of the bracelet around until the smile returned to her face.

"Last year, kind of..." She said, fidgetting with her bracelets some more. "But. I didn't like him exactly before because I was busy being this crazy witch bird owning lady thing."

Maeko was trying very, very hard to joke about the witch. Obviously if she could prove she didn't care about it that meant she didn't care about it, right?

"Either way-" Seiko said quickly, trying to avoid something her friend clearly still found distressing. "Its clear he cares for you very much now, and wants to be there for you." She smiled and waved a finger in the air.

"I'm quite jealous really! Not because of Kanaye-kun specifically!" she shook her head, he was more like a brother, or even a child. "But having someone you care about who also cares about you, it must be really nice." she sighed and toyed with some of the clothes she had not yet unpacked.

"It is, isn't it? I'm still not sure why but...I guess it doesn't matter too much. I'm glad." Maeko said, done with unpacking. She sat cross-legged on the bed, bobbing up and down, and felt around for Jorindel then hugged the cat doll tightly. For once, having forced herself to grow up altogether too fast first for Misaki's sake and then to steel herself against the things that were in paradise, she felt like she was a teenage girl. It was strange but nice.

"It is. I didn't think I'd ever have someone like that." She said cheerfully, smiling. "It really is nice."

Seiko had finished tidying up her clothes, but dug in a smaller bag to pull out a bag of chocolates.

"Want some? I got them to share..." she grinned, Maeko perhaps was not used to being a teenage girl, but Seiko was well aware of how these things worked.

"Ehh and he is a nice guy! I mean he can be a little bit-" she chose her words carefully "energetic, but he's very caring. And he'd do anything for you." she waved the chocolate towards Maeko with a warm smile, feeling that their relationship was perhaps growing a little closer.

	"Ah, I can have one?" Maeko asked, making sure it was okay. After a few seconds she took one, smiling. "He is! He's been nothing but kind to me for a long time now, even when- well, all the time!" She decided not to go into the breakup. It wasn't like it mattered that much anymore. She grinned and ate the chocolate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So very very girly.

Seiko grinned taking a chocolate bar of her own as she unwrapped it she looked to Maeko for a moment.

"He really cares about you, and his friends, its a very admirable trait." she smiled down at her chocolate bar but then looked thoughtful.

"Having someone who understands all this Paradise stuff must be nice too, having him there when things are getting bad... I'm really glad you have that Maeko-chan!"

She still looked thoughtful. "But, besides that...I kind of need to thank you. This group has made me feel really welcome, you, Kanaye-kun, Kozue-chan and Masami-chan, and Tom too! Even Oubai-san has been helpful. Even though this situation is so bad, you've all found time to help me get used to this, to be friends with me." She bit her chocolate as she considered her words. "I'm really glad to have you as a friend Maeko-chan!"

"It is nice." Maeko said after a brief chocolate-related pause. "Having someone around I know I can rely on. It's not really something I'm used to." She smiled. "I'm glad, too!"

"You got help out of Oubai? You must be some kind of miracle worker!" She said, laughing but thien calming down a little. She wasn't upset. But paradise was a subject that deserved to be treated seriously. "It's...it's a horrible situation. But we can't change what's already happenned and we don't know how much power we have to change what's going on. Making sure we make it as easy to deal with as we can is the most important thing right now."

She grinned again. "I'm glad to have you, too. And everyone else."

Seiko lent back nibbling another chocolate bar and gently tossing another one over to Maeko.

"Well he has been pretty nice to me, in his own way." Seiko said with a smile and a thoughtful nod. "It is terrible, but I'm more worried about other people than myself." she shrugged. "I don't want anyone else to be taken in there, to have to face themselves. No one wants that." she bit into her chocolate with a little more feeling than usual.

"I don't know, its such a strange thing. I mean its like...magic exists. How do you even get your head round that..." she laughed ruefully.
