Week 2, Monday

[aono]

[Hey Estelle. Ever wonder what Rin would look like with more demonic features? Because wow his ears and fangs are way bugger suddenly, and his fingers look more like claws, and his eyes look slitted instead of round like a human's.

Rin is just standing there btw, he's looking through the options for lunch at the restaurant. But his appearance is Different for now.]

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle, on the opposite end of the scary-spectrum, has a pair of white bunny ears sticking out of the top of her head. Her eyes widen for a moment when she sees him, and she has to remind herself that actually, that's a familiar face.]

Rin, right? [She offers a smile in greeting.] Would you like some company for lunch?

[They haven't talked much before, but there's no reason that can't change now, right?]

[aono]

[Rin blinks and looks up. He's a little surprised that someone would join him, but he's not unreceptive to it. Just a little unsure.]

You mean it? I mean, I'm not too scary-looking?

[He would like the company, yes.]

[mustbepurged]

[She shakes her head.] Not at all! [Hopefully he didn't see her initial reaction, but...]

Food tastes better when you eat it with other people, after all.

Week 4, Friday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's sitting in the courtyard, holding a flower in her hands. Her eyes are red -- it's clear that she's been crying. She looks up when she sees Rin nearby.]

Oh, Rin... Would you like to sit?

[There's room next to her on the bench.]

[aono]

[Honestly she's valid. Rin's eyes are red too.]

Yeah, okay.

[He'll step over and sit down next to her, wincing a little as he sits. His leg still hurts.]

[mustbepurged]

[Noticing that wince seems to pull her out of the haze she's in, looking to his leg with concern.]

You were hurt yesterday... Are you all right?

[aono]

I'm better. Sebastian did a task for me.

[He still needs to think of a way to thank him for that.]

Week 4, Sunday

[aono]

[What a day.

Rin seems a bit listless as he goes about the hotel, but he'll perk up a bit when he sees Estelle.]

Oh, hey. You doing alright?

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's a bit sluggish in the way she walks -- it's not too hard to guess that she's sore from yesterday.]

Oh, Rin! I'm... I'm all right. This weekend was hard, but...

[... Come to think of it, between his injuries from Thursday and everything that happened at the trial... Rin's probably the one who's worse off here.]

... I should probably be asking you. Are you all right?

[aono]

Who, me? Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing can keep me down.

[He does look better today, even if he was a physical mess on Thursday and an emotional mess on Saturday.]

But you look like you're still having trouble, you need a hand?

[mustbepurged]

[She looks heartened at that.]

Good...

I think I'm okay, but I wouldn't mind sitting... Maybe we could get lunch together?

Week 5, Sunday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle finds Rin at the restaurant!]

Oh, are you getting dinner, Rin? Would you like to eat together? [She gives him a smile.]

[aono]

[Rin is indeed grabbing dinner! He hasn't ordered yet, so he'll smile.]

Sure. It always beats eating alone.

[mustbepurged]

[Grinning, she'll settle into a seat at a table with him. She considers the menu...]

I wonder what I should get... Maybe some kind of pasta?

[aono]

That'd be good I think. I'll get it too to try it.

[And bread. After that Olive Garden talk at the meeting, he wants breadsticks.]

Week 6, Friday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's sitting in the vending area on the same floor as the dojo. She's wearing a school uniform, looks exhausted, and her hair's damp. Most of all, she just looks kind of despondent and lost in thought... but she'll look up when Rin's nearby.]

... You heard the news too, right...?

[aono]

[Rin isn't looking too great either, his eyes are a little red and puffy and he looks a little lost too. But when she asks him that question, he nods.]

Yeah, I heard.

[mustbepurged]

... I'm sorry. You know Yoo Joonghyuk from before, right...?

I...

He always looked so stern, but he was really kind to me...

Week 6, Sunday

[mustbepurged]

[After the town hall, Estelle can be found in the library, finally getting around to looking up books about Orpheus. When she sees Rin, she looks up and greets him with a warm expression.]

Oh... Good evening, Rin.

[aono]

[Rin is definitely here to get some more trashy shoujo manga to read and veg out to. But when he sees Estelle, he'll go over to sit at her table instead.]

Hey. Reading up on that story?

[mustbepurged]

Yes. So many things happened after Thursday, I didn't really get a chance until now...

What are you up to?

Week 7, Saturday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle finds Rin sometime after checkout's finished, and eagerly jogs over to greet him. They are free from clown noses, god bless.]

Oh, Rin! Before I forget... put up your hand!

[she didn't high-five him yet!!]

[aono]

[THE HIGH FIVE

Rin is confused for a moment though, and he holds up his hand while giving her a questioning look.]

[mustbepurged]

[She high-fives him!!]

Yay!

Good job back there!
