Hi, everyone.
*At least she doesn't sound so grumpy today, though her voice is somewhat more timid than usual*

I think I upset a lot of people yesterday. I was mean to people who really, really didn't deserve it. So...I wanted to say that I'm really sorry.

But - if everyone was doing opposite stuff yesterday, then, I guess, at least that shows that usually I'm a nice, happy, friendly person, right?

*There's an awkward laugh at her attempts to make light of her situation. She'd been pretty mean to people she hadn't even met, too*

That doesn't make it okay, though. So, again, I'm really sorry, and I hope that people still want to be friends.

*She's just going to leave it at that for now. As for those in her crew, they really shouldn't expect to see her face today, because she won't be showing it anywhere. Staying in her room seems a little safer, for now*

[The hand had stopped, and it's then that he realizes why. Unclasping his hands, Aya turns more to reach out a hand towards the one closest to him.]

You think so?

*Selphie smiles brightly and moves closer to him then, happily taking up his hands in hers*

Don't you think so...? I mean, for a start, it might mean I'm being...less weird.

[He's glad she moved closer, giving her hand a squeeze.]

Less weird? I thought that was normal.

Well, I'm not gonna be shouting at Kairi claiming that you're in love with her or anything like that...

*She blushes again in her embarrassment, but smiles again when he squeezes her hand. She finally moves round to look at him properly, her eyes brightening when she looks at his*

But.. I'm glad you told me. I really didn't think...

*Well, she's been certain for some time that he was no way interested in her*

You definitely won't need to do that. [He chuckles softly, smiling to her. Her sentence trails off, and he can understand why, in a way.]

I was...unsure if I should be involved with anyone. [Aya looks to their hands as he spoke.] I couldn't ignore how I felt for you, but I wasn't sure if I should act on it.

I don't know why not, but...

*Her hand shifts in his, as though slowly trying to wriggle away, her eyes watching too*

We don't - you don't have to be...'involved' if that's not what you want... Just because of feelings, I mean, you don't have to be involved with me, just because of how I feel, or you feel.

[He doesn't let go of her hand, though, and instead leans in to kiss the side of her lips softly.]

I want to be, because I'm sure that I won't want anything less.

*Either it was what he said, or what he did, maybe both, but when Selphie's eyes meet his, she at once leans in for her own kiss. Her fingers curl around his as she moves closer, her lips firmly finding his, for a good moment long*

[Aya returns the kiss, feeling relieved that he didn't overstep his boundaries. A hand is placed on her shoulder as the kiss continues.]

*The hand on her shoulder encourages her, and she takes a soft breath before wrapping her arms around him, holding herself as close to him as possible. Selphie delivers a kiss not too dissimilar from their kiss on Valentine's Day, only this time she feels much more able to enjoy it, so it's a little more urgent*

[His arms go about her waist, holding her closer. The kiss is a bit more intense than their first one, but perhaps because there isn't confusion. No weird candy. Just honest feelings.

*Selphie does, finally, eventually, lean back slightly from the kiss. Despite how flushed and happy she feels, when she opens her eyes there's an apologetic look, and a hint of fear. She'll have to see his reaction before she feels settled. After all, given her experience of things, it wouldn't be new to her if he frowned, pushed her away, and told her to leave him alone*

[Aya's face is pretty hued, but he's smiling after their kiss. He does notice her apologetic look and makes a curious sound.]

Hmm? Are you alright?

*Selphie sees that smile and immediately her expression brightens. The relief of seeing him smile makes her laugh, and she squeezes him into a tight hug*

[Usually he wouldn't mind the tight hug, but...his wounds. He winces while hugging back as best as he could, but it's light.]

Ah, Selphie? My back.

Oh!

*She immediately lets go and sits back from him, placing her hands firmly on her knees so that she can't cause any more damage*

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Is it...getting better, though? You're looking after yourself, right?

[Aya nods with a smile.] It's healing well. Not a lot has been happening lately. [He extends a hand to her. She's sitting at a decent space away.]

*Selphie takes his hand and touches his shoulder gently with the other, breathing a small sigh of relief*

I'm glad it's better. And you shouldn't be doing anything right now apart from resting up!

Do that mean I should go? [He came here to talk to her, after all.]

Of course not! You can totally stay as long as you like, help you rest up. It's not like we're gonna be -

*Selphie pauses there, because she would have finished her sentence with 'bouncing on the bed' but she blushes instead as she realises how this sounds*

Well, I mean, you'll just be resting here and hanging out, so that's okay. As your nurse, it's what I would recommend.

As my nurse, huh? [Really, he's glad someone is attentive to him. He had been resting all this time, but it's definitely hard for him to get the wound on his back. Aya gestures with his head behind him.]

Do you think you could check how it's healing for me?

Uh huh! I'm a good nurse, though, right?

*Smiling she nods and moves to sit round behind him*

Have you been able to change the bandage and get it cleaned up okay?

*There's obvious concern in her voice as she curls her fingers under the hem of his shift to lift it up and take a look*

A very good nurse. [If she wasn't, he wouldn't trust her to look at his injury. She could easily stab him there.]

[Aya tries to look behind him but decides to face front and let her do her work.]

Once, but I couldn't clean it. I just changed the bandages. [She could probably tell it's poorly done. Changing bandages on your own back is difficult, and painful.]

Good! I'm glad you think so.

*She frowns at his back as she lifts his shirt further, hoping her small sigh of exasperation didn't sound too harsh*

I need to clean and change this. You know you were supposed to just ask if you needed help.

I got a bit...distracted. [It's not a great excuse, but it's the truth. Especially when everyone wasn't acting like themselves. Aya sighs himself, hearing his own lame excuse.] What do you need me to do?
