[ She's tense at first, although it's not as though she's protesting the gesture; she's surprised more than anything, half-convinced Yata is going to be regretting this in about the next ten seconds. ]

Wasn't I supposed to stay about ten feet away from you or something?

[rollin]

[ He wants to get this over with before he falls back into their usual routine, so... ]

Just shut up and take it!

[flaredo]

[ There's a small snort, but then she'll press her forehead against his shoulder and wrap her arms around him, a bit tight. At least one of them knows better than to turn down a free hug. ]

[rollin]

[ This will take some getting used to. One hand settles on her head as he holds her, his voice barely above a whisper. ]

Just tell me when you're good.

[flaredo]

... It's fine. [ she'd linger in this warmth, but she knows how hard this has to be for him. So, while she appreciates the gesture, she blinks back any more burning behind her eyelids and lifts her head a little. ]

You're pushing yourself, right? This much is enough.

[rollin]

[ True enough, even his ears are burning. Still, he's a little reluctant when he can see her so heartbroken. It takes him a moment before he lets go, another before he speaks. ]

You... [ He breathes in sharply. ] Anyway, I don't wanna see you crying again! ...But if someone makes you cry, tell me. I'm gonna kick their ass!

[flaredo]

Sure-- if I don't kick their ass first. [ well, if nothing else, he got her to smile. She doesn't like grieving, anyway. ]

But thanks, Yata. You're a great guy.

[rollin]

[ He makes a sound.

And hides his face with one hand. ]

A-ah... no problem.

[flaredo]

... Although you've still got to work on that girl thing...

[ She'll give his beanie a little pat and then turn her attention back to re-bandaging. ]

[rollin]

[ Yeah, he does... but he folds his arms and looks away. ]

Tch, I got lots of friends who are girls!

[flaredo]

And how many of them can you handle being close to?

[ It's a safer topic; she's grateful for it. ]

[rollin]

[ He counts on his fingers. One, two... Two... Two? ]

[flaredo]

....

[ Yata, she is just slowly... shaking... her head. ]

[rollin]

I'm working on it!

[ At least he's making an active effort now, unlike before. Only out of necessity, though... He wouldn't even think about it if Yang hadn't befriended him or Saya didn't come into the picture.

Anyway, he's shaking his fist. ]

I'll get so popular, you'll be jealous!

[flaredo]

Why would you want me to be jealous? I'd be happy for you if you got really popular with the ladies.

[rollin]

[ Shit, that came out weird. No, it's probably okay. He can still salvage this situation. ]

—I meant popular in general!

[ Now he's making less sense than before... ]

[flaredo]

... I'd still be happy for you?

[rollin]

[ He opens his mouth to say something, thinks better of it and rests his cheek on his hand, effectively shutting himself up for once. ]

... Whatever!

[flaredo]

But you don't seem like the type who doesn't have friends... even if hardly any of them are girls.

[ Being helpful? Totally. ]

[rollin]

[ Thanks for the vote of confidence, Yang. He sputters, but— ]

Really? [ He sounds genuinely surprised. ] I guess...

[flaredo]

Really-- [ and she lifts an eyebrow. ]

I'm not wrong, right? You're rough around the edges, but you seriously care about people. I think anyone could notice that.

[rollin]

[ Before HOMRA, he only had Fushimi and Aya. After he joined, everyone had flocked to him in an instant. Now that they were gone, it's not like they stopped being friends, right? Although it certainly felt like they did. ]

Mm, you're not... wrong.

[ It occurs to him that before arriving in this colony, he didn't really have anyone outside of HOMRA. It's embarrassing to admit. ]

I guess I'm shy?

[ He scratches the back of his head and laughs. That's not true, though. ]

[flaredo]

You're shy...

[ This, she repeats somewhat dubiously as she finishes with her bandage job. ]

The guy who asked a total stranger to punch him.

[rollin]

I had to see it for real.

[ She was talking about her strength and he felt like she was looking down on him! Then again, he feels like that all the time. ]

[flaredo]

You're one of the few people who would pick a fight just to test me. I mean, you could've just asked me to punch someone else, or another giant bug.
