[No, it's just White this time, looking more than a little tired at the hectic events of the day. She yawns, blinking at Leo, and smiles a little when she sees the bouquet.]

What's this for? I thought you said you wouldn't be my flower deliverer.

[And primroses at that. It warms her and the effect flourishes outward as things seem a tad brighter, more vibrant.]

Oh! [ His head jerks up. ] Uh...

[ He braced himself for the worst, so he's thrown off when she seemed to all but forgotten what happened earlier that afternoon. It could be so easy to just forget about the whole thing, he excitedly thinks to himself. He can't help be tempted to take the easy way out, putting a smile on his face and lying about the reason he's standing here. ] These are get-well flowers!

[awatchfuleye]

[ But he can't go through with it. He deflates, mumbling his apology at her feet. ]

...That, and I was being a real ass earlier. I'm sorry.

[barredheart]

[She stares at him for a moment, trying to think what Leo could've been such an ass about, and ohs softly as she takes the flowers from him with her good arm, shaking her head.]

I... No, I'm sorry too. It's a little weird to say, but I was kind of excited to be able to experience something normal like this again. Since, you know. [Hospital bound.] Yeah.

[... But that still doesn't make a whole lot of sense, she guesses, and leans against the doorway with her eyes focusing on the petals, how they droop a little in her arms no matter how she wills them to perking back up.

At least she can force herself to perk up!! Yeah. It's not easy to say "Hey, I died once and was brought back to life because of my parent's sacrifice along with the barrier that surrounds Hellsalem's Lot" and trying to explain it as anything else wouldn't be right either, so... that'll have to do.]

So, if you forgive me for being weird I'll forgive you for being kind of a jerk earlier. Does that sound okay, Leo?

[awatchfuleye]

[ He looks at White with surprise when she makes her own apology. He opens his mouth to protest, but no noise comes out. His mouth forming a thin line as he continues to listen.

He, too, wants the mood to lighten up and he makes the effort to smile. ]

Well, you're always kind of weird, so I should be used to it by now. [ His way of saying no apology necessary, White. He still reacted badly. ] Just... [ The tone is still joking, but there's seriousness in his voice. ]

Next time you feel like experiencing something normal, don't get yourself hurt?

[barredheart]

It's not like I asked him to break my arm, you know. [Though despite her words there's a slight teasing tone to it, no harm done anywhere.] I honestly didn't expect him to go full throttle with someone that looks physically weaker than him.

[She might be able to take on guys twice her size and win, but Akihiko's levels beyond schoolyard bullies.]

It just happened, so... Yeah. [A shrug.] Nothing I can change about that. But I won't tease someone before we go at it next time.

[awatchfuleye]

'Next time' [ His eyebrows furrow slightly at her joke, but good enough, the tension leaves his face. ]

Do you mind if I come in? I can help get those in water. [ He says, referring to the flowers; it'll be difficult for her with only one good hand. It still feels weird to be asking permission to enter considering how often he would used to barge into her hospital room ]

[barredheart]

[White hesitates for half a second before stepping backward to let him in, already turning to go find a vase.]

You don't have to ask, you know, that's so weird. We're besties. You can pretty much come in whenever you want, just like I can come in anytime I want.

[Best friend rules.]

I KEPT YOU WAITING...

[awatchfuleye]

[ He still thinks she holds him too high in regard there, but she didn't get to meet many people. He kind of lost touch with kids he used to consider his best friends over the years. He doesn't make any effort to correct her. He looks sheepish as he steps inside. ]

I'll make myself at home then...
