I kind of figured, but always good to double check these things. Tomorrow's going to be hell. I don't know that we can really avoid that.
Yeah... [God, pleasant topics. Where are you?]
Speaking of prevention... the tea I've been working on worked. They locked me up, but she didn't come out.

I'm careful not to make promises, and I still want them to lock me up again next time just in case...
But it is an improvement, yeah.

[She sighed and laughed.]
yes and no. The things I did still haunt me, and there will always be the fear that one of these days something might go wrong.

Hallelujah. That was going to be my next question. I... might speak to her at some point, but not yet.
I need to make peace with Karuika before I bother to speak to his friends.

[Well, she wouldn't have blamed Karuika for the venom he had for her. But that wasn't really important. Her eyes widened and she grinned.]
Are you now? I'd say that's about time from what little you said before. Good.
And don't worry... I'm not going to her for a while yet, assuming we're still here. There's... no rush here.

No... not really, but you worried a whole hell of a lot about what she thought of you, a little more than a friend might. It sort of clicked you 'might' have had a thing for her, maybe a little. It's not like you really give off the raging romantic vibe.
Heh, well we've also talked about stuff related to this a little, so that probably has a part in all this. I kind of doubt you talk about these things often.
Perish the thought! [Hear that sarcasm? Yeah, she caught the joke.] I never would have noticed you were such a humble soul in a million years, Hisao. It's news to me.
Yeah, gotta keep my health up before I go seeing Eridan. That whole kismesis thing's violent, you know? And besides, you've got more important things than to heal me up after a fall on my ass.
... there wont' be much relaxing. He and I need to talk about some things, Hisao. But... hopefully we can talk.
[Trust her. She's as clueless as he is. She hasn't really started using the word until today.]

... we'll keep it mild this time. With the fighting we can't afford otherwise, but I'll call you if I need it one of these days, assuming... you know.
[You have set yourself up for one of the most awkward conversations imaginable, Hisao.]

[There is somebody knocking at your door, Hisao! I wonder who it could be...?]
