[ ... Pffft. She's just going to snort into his neck, legs curling to make herself more comfortable against him. ]

I just kind of do my own thing, after all.

[Naoki reaches down to catch his hand underneath her legs, help bring her up closer into him.]

I've noticed.

You know you'd be the same about me, if I was ever feeling down. [ Yang feels the need to point this out, even as she ends up half in his lap. Hi. ]

Ahh, well... yeah.

[HE ADMITS IT as he leans in close, pressing a kiss to her cheek.] I get it. I won't be hard on myself. This is confusing, though...

[That is, his tiredness.]

Yeah... even if it's this place's fault, there's gotta be a reason for it. And why it's not everyone being tired.

[ But she can smooth back his hair like this and kiss his forehead so if he's fretting, he'll be fretting with comforting gestures. ]

Why it's only certain people, too.

[His eyes close at her kiss and he mumbles a low sound of approval.] This is the kind of tiredness I'd only feel after... I dunno, after I used all of my energy up.

... And I made sure not to seduce you this whole time, too, so that can't be it.

[ SHE'S BEEN CONSIDERATE. ]

Oh, so that's why you weren't seducing me at all.

[SIGH... He wishes he weren't so tired.]

I'd feel pretty bad if I pinned you and you fell asleep before I even got your pants off.

[ Yang, eternally honest. ]

And I don't think I'd wanna destroy the mood like that.

[He smiles ruefully, lifting a hand to absently skim her hair off of her forehead before letting it fall back into place.]

This much is fine, too. [ She sighs that out, nuzzling his cheek with no small amount of affection. ] We'll make up for anything else once you're overflowing with energy again.
