[ She feels the back of her head up a little, but.. yeah, it really does seem like there wasn't a wound to begin with. That at least takes care of some problems - she doesn't exactly feel like explaining how she got that wound to begin with to everyone she runs into. God knows how stupidly curious everyone in this place is. ]
.. You really are too kind. I can't believe someone can just call you like that and you'll come running and put in all that effort.
Is it really so strange of me? [While she asks it somewhat curiously, she's still smiling regardless. No one's ever said it exactly like that to her, but the sentiment is one she's familiar with all the same.] But I don't think I can help it. If I saw that someone was hurt, I would want to help them however I could, especially if they're a friend.
I guess my world's probably just weird. [ She gives a small shrug and moves her arms a little again, as if she's still getting used to having some sort of feeling back into them. ] I mean, there hardly were people like you around where I come from. If I would've met you back there, I probably would have turned out a lot cuter.
[ She lets out a dry and soft sound of vague amusement. ]
That isn't so much of a problem though, is it? I like you just as you are, Ange. [She'd also say she thinks Ange is plenty cute as is but THAT'S PROBABLY PUSHING IT...]
[ DON'T SAY THAT she'd probably explose in a tsunplosion and take out half of the apartment building.. ]
.. I know you're just trying to be nice, but there's really no need to flatter me like that. [ There's definite more than just tiny hints of tsun in her response though. ] I'm already aware that I turned out to be a pretty weird and rude girl. I've even been way too blunt to you at times. So.. it's fine to just admit that.
[the true endgame of haven: death via tsunplosion thanks to ange...]
It's not just being nice or flattering you, really! [Estelle might be used to dealing with tsun but she's not going to let that get in the way of her being honest!!] I admit that it's true you can be a little too blunt or strange sometimes, but I don't necessarily dislike those things about you either.
That's since you're too nice. Anyone else would already have thought I'm just some weird haughty girl and moved on. [ Which she doesn't even entirely mind all that much. She only minds it when people actually go out of their way to bully her or anything like that, ignoring her is a-okay with her.. ]
I certainly hope I wouldn't be the type to do that... [SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THAT KIND OF PERSON UWO. Still, she smiles fondly at Ange, her expression gentle.] Even if it's just me being "too nice" though, you're really not all that bad. Anyone could see that much if they cared to look.
[ Geez, Estelle, if you keep going on like that she seriously won't know how to deal.. although she's probably already long passed that line, since it suddenly feels terribly difficult to act the way she always does. Instead she feels more the way she used to back when she was much younger and still in school - nervous, mostly. She never really does know where to thread when it comes to friendship so she won't ruin it. Although this feeling is more happy than it ever was back then. ]
I wonder for how long I hoped someone would say that for once back then.. [ It's probably one of the most open things Ange could admit, since it's not something she has told a lot of people, if more than one or two at all. There's a reason she always tries her best to be so tough, after all, so she can't just tell everyone stuff about the time she was bullied like this.
But she can at least trust someone as bright and incredibly kind as Estelle. Right? Some part she buried deep within herself wants to. ]
[Alas Ange one you start dealing with Estelle's kindness there's no true escape... And there's more to this, she can tell. There must have been some kind of reason as to why Ange would've wanted to hear something like this before, and Estelle can't imagine it's because of something good. While she could pry, try asking directly what her statement means... She doesn't want to. Ange might be blunt, but Estelle thinks she can be pretty evasive when it comes to her own emotions and past. She chooses what to tell people, and is it was now, Estelle would rather let her go at her own pace than try to force it herself.
So instead she takes the other girl's hands in her own again, looking her right in the eyes. Ange can tell her whatever she wants, whenever she wants—Estelle will always listen.]
If it's not too late then, I hope you can accept my saying it.
Ah.. [ Her cheeks flush a little bit as she looks at the other girl, searching for words for a moment. But it doesn't work, all she can do for that moment is sit there and stare at her wide-eyed before she ducks her head a little and is able to speak on. ]
Of course I will. .. Just this once, though. Don't think you can just take advantage of it and say it whenever you want to catch me off guard..
[ Nodding to herself lightly.. this totally isn't awkward. Not at all. Nope siree. ]
.. I should probably go sleep a little bit now though or else Senji's going to get mad at me again. [ Not that he didn't have a good reason to, but still, Ange doesn't always really like being mommed. ]
Hehe, that sounds like a good idea. [Does Estelle even know that Ange and Senji are together.... If not she's tucking this piece of information to ask about later MORE IMPORTANTLY rest is good.] Do you need any help getting to your room?
[ Not like she's an invalid..!! Although Estelle did heal her wounds and all, but even if her wounds were still right there Ange would have insisted that she was going to be fine. ]
So.. don't worry. I'll talk to you again some other time.
