"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?"

... Okay.

[... She still has a lot to think about re: Hiro and what she's going to say (should she say anything?) and what she's supposed to do (how do you date?????) but she does feel better even so.]

... Sorry I tried to take you down with a pillow.

[flaredo]

... I'll forgive it juuuuust this once.

[ If just because this will eventually give her teasing material for days. ]

[undaunts]

And um...

[...]

Thanks. [...] Y'know, for the advice and stuff. I feel better.

[flaredo]

What are sisters for? I've got tons of advice for stuff like this!

... And you know, I bet Naoki'd be good to talk to, too.

[undaunts]

[She ducks her head at that, sheepish.]

I... don't know if I'm ready to talk about Naoki about this.

[She likes Naoki a lot, but Yang's on a completely different level when it comes to confiding in for embarrassing topics. Because she's always been there to confide in.]

[flaredo]

It's okay. This can be just girl talk.

[ Naoki himself would probably get flustered, come to think of it... ]

[undaunts]

I'm... not very good at girl talk, but... that sounds pretty good to me.

[She really likes the idea, at least, it seems.]

[flaredo]

It's something you get better at with practice, trust me. You'll be a pro in no time.

[undaunts]

I don't know if I want to be a pro at this though...

[??? she's really unsure.]

So uh.... I guess I should tell Hiro then.... right?

[That's still kind of scary though.]

[flaredo]

That depends on you. If you want to tell him, it doesn't have to be immediately or anything. Just when you feel like it's right.

[ Which could be at any point. ]

[undaunts]

How am I supposed to know something like that?

[That's so...vague!!!]

[flaredo]

It'll be like... well, you know how you always wanted to be a Huntress? It'll just happen. You'll know.

[undaunts]

[... Wow. That's a pretty intense feeling, then.]

Like how I knew I wanted to be a Huntress...?

[That's something that... well, that she's definitely trying to imagine. But at least it gives her a better idea of things.]

... Okay. I'll wait for a feeling like that then.

[flaredo]

Just don't feel like you have to rush anything, okay? This sort of thing takes time. [ Sisterly shoulder pat. ]

[undaunts]

Right...

[She has no idea what she's doing, but sure.]

"This sort of thing".

[Whatever...this sort of thing is...] Um, I don't think I could rush it if I tried. [She doesn't know how.]

[flaredo]

... Yeah, I'm pretty sure you couldn't.

[ She sure sounds relieved about this. ]

[undaunts]

You... didn't have to agree so fast.

[sheesh....]

[flaredo]

But that's a good thing! No property damage, no regrets!

[ "Property damage"?? ]

[undaunts]

Property damage? What property damage?

I thought we were talking about feelings!

[???]

[flaredo]

... [ Shoulder clap. ] I meant what happens when you usually rush things.

[undaunts]

I'm not that bad!

[yes you are]

Besides, I'm not rushing anything so that has nothing to do with anything!

[flaredo]

I'm glad you're not. [ And she means that. ] You may have to give Hiro some time to figure things out, too.

[ BECAUSE WHY THE HELL WOULDN'T HE BE INTO HER SISTER, RUBY'S GREAT. ]

[undaunts]

Um, yeah that's... yeah.

[She's less confident in that than Yang, really, and after a moment's pause, she caves, words escaping her in a rush.]

But what if he doesn't like me too? It'll make it so weird! I like doing things with Hiro, I don't want to lose that!

[flaredo]

One-sided crushes happen all the time, and the friendships are still okay. Look at Jaune and Weiss!

... Except neither one of you is that bad...

[undaunts]

... That's true...

[If Weiss and Jaune made it work, then... she and Hiro can too! Yeah!!! For sure!!!]

... Ughhhh, is it always this complicated?
