"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?"

[ . . . . Honestly, if it were anyone but Yang, she would take even longer to give her answer-]

Luke didn't want to be engaged to me for those 7 years. I didn't want to admit it... I kept hoping that perhaps he would remember our promise one day out of his amnesia.

I would rather err on the side of caution than pushed my hopes on someone who doesn't want them again.

It's not like you knew he couldn't remember... [ But Yang groans a little, reaching out with one blanketed arm to pat her friend on the head. ]

[Yang, please. She gets maybe one pat in before Natalia laughs and lightly bats her friend's hand away.]

No, but it's still unfair. [ . . . . ] He was a bit of a brat and made his feelings on the matter clear, but I still kept hoping.

[Natalia just shrugs faintly.] I suppose I'm content to remain hoping for a bit longer. After all, it's not everyday that I'll meet a man who loves my country as much as I do.

Maybe you should brag about your country more and see who looks interested.

[ You need a better boyfriend. ]

{Natalia just laughs faintly at that, shaking her head.]

I'll keep that in mind. But pardon me if I don't think I'm quite ready for that regardless.

Fine, fine... but Shin-Ah was cute.

For a guy in a mask.

[ Siiiigh. ]

[Natalia just hums thoughtfully at that.]

He has a very kind and sweet personality.

.... but I still want to know why he wears a mask.

That's not exactly something you can just ask, either. But I wonder what he looks like under it.

It sounds to me like he came from a place with a lot of conflict.... I worry that he might've gotten hurt and is covering it up.

[And she cross her arms at the thought, rather put out. She still doesn't know and this curiosity is killing her!!]

Maybe if you mention that, he'll explain? I mean, he probably doesn't want you worrying.

I have.... to a degree....

[ . . . . . ]

Well, I suppose there's no harm to trying again. One of these days, I'll get him to remove his mask. I'm certain of it!

There's the Nat stubbornness in action!

[ She's missed it. ]

[Natalia merely laughs then, lightly hitting Yang with her own stuffed animal and shaking his head. Come now, it's not that out of character for her to be considerate, is it?]

Oh, enough out of you!

I'll make sure to meet Naoki soon so you're not the only one pressing forward on this.

I have a good reason to. You, on the other hand...

Oh come now, it's simply unfair....!

That I don't have a love life? Really?

When you keep trying to talk me out of my settled love life, yes.

Because nothing's settled!

[ Hmmph. ]

Only you would think that an engagement isn't settled....

When one half doesn't even bother contacting you--

... I can't even eat ice cream angrily, I think we're out.

[ ALACK. ]

[ . . . . oh Yang. Natalia just shakes her head at that before collecting both of their bowls. At the very least, her weariness is fond.]

Would you like another serving or shall I fetch you some medicine instead?

As much as I'd love drowning myself in ice cream, I guess it's medicine time... I've got a ton of people I'd rather not infect.

Yes, I imagine so.

[Cue Natalia bringing the bowls to the kitchen and.... filling them up with water. That's a good start, right. Hmm, maybe she'll figure out how to do dishes later. Either way, she can at least fetch the medicine that she had bought at the market and bring it to Yang, already poured into a spoon. Of course it's that princess grace that lets her bring it over without spilling a drop, a glass of water in the other hand.]

At the very least, I hope your sleep last night was more restful than mine.

[ Yang actually winces slightly, even as she reaches out for the spoon and pops it into her mouth with a grimace. Urgh, medicine taste. ]

... I wish I could say that, but it was actually pretty bad.

[Natalia blinks at that, handing her the glass of water next.]

Truly....? Well, I suppose it would make more sense than for it to be an isolated incident just for myself and a stranger.
