"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

[ ... This guy. ]

Well, did she just shove some flowers in your hands and not say anything at all?

[rollin]

[ I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, Yang. ]

Um, she said she grew them with her powers... then she asked if I wanted them.

[flaredo]

[ It's tough being a wingman sometimes. ]

So didn't she come up with the idea to give them to you herself? That's kind of a big thing!

[rollin]

Why? It's no big, she just gave 'em to me 'cause I said I did... [ MUMBLES ]

[flaredo]

Flowers from a girl to a guy is a pretty big sign of interest, you know.

[rollin]

[ He nearly drops his dishes. ]

SERIOUSLY!?

[flaredo]

Indoor voice!!

[ OW. ]

[rollin]

... Seriously?

[ He's listening. ]

[flaredo]

Seriously... you might actually have a chance here.

1/2

[rollin]

Hehe...

[rollin]

I mean, no! Focus! I got my priorities straight. Nothing can get in between me and HOMRA!

[flaredo]

... Isn't she a member?

[rollin]

Ah. Ah, yeah...

[ He pauses in his work. Saya was in HOMRA, true, but that's exactly why the consequences of whatever he does matters. ]

But it's different. [ Scary, he means. ]

[flaredo]

Yeah? [ GO ON, she means. ]

[rollin]

Me and Saya are from different worlds. You know that.

[flaredo]

So you think you'll never see her again when this all ends? Is that it?

[rollin]

It's like I'm tryna take her away from home. She's part of HOMRA, but she ain't ours. Even if I see her again, she's gotta go back to where she belongs, right?

[ Then again, he doesn't know where she feels she belongs, either. ]

I dunno. Let's stop talking about this. What'd you have for lunch today? Oh right, we just ate. Ahaha...

[flaredo]

... Look, don't dwell on it too much right now, okay? If you like her, don't talk yourself out of it right now either.

[rollin]

... Okay.

Um, one last question.

[flaredo]

... Fire away.

[rollin]

It's still far away... but what do you want for Christmas?

[flaredo]

Chris... what?

[ surprise she has no idea-- ]

[rollin]

[ Maybe she didn't hear? Or maybe she doesn't know. ]

Christmas! The day when you give out presents and eat cake!

[flaredo]

It's a holiday? It sounds like what you'd do on a birthday.

[rollin]

Technically, it is. Anyway, it's on the 25th. Of December, I mean. Everyone gives gifts to their family and friends and stuff... so hurry up and tell me what you want.
