"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ BEEP. ]

Oi, that's not fair. Double-teaming me. I don't even get backup?

[Hinata groans and makes a show of flopping back against the couch.]

It's because we care!

At this point, I'm starting to suspect that you just like picking on me.

[But his little smile says otherwise.]

Well, we wouldn't sit on you - at least, I wouldn't - if you didn't get hurt.

Don't say it like I did it on purpose...

You'd get reckless for other people, though, wouldn't you?

Uh-- well, I...

[I... I can't deny it...]

[ yeah, she's just going to

look... at... him... ]

[He doesn't even need to see properly to know what kind of way she's looking at him. So, in a feebly protesting tone,] Oi, don't look at me like that...

I just... it's just sometimes there isn't a lot of chance to think in those situations.

It's like I've said before... [ and she can't stop herself from smiling, as she ducks her head. ] You're really kind, Hinata.

[Hinata's face reddens and with still-watering eyes and his otherwise pale complexion it looks really ridiculous. He drops his chin down in a palm and hunches his shoulders as if to hide the blush.]

...You sure that it's kind? I figured it'd be something more like hasty.

It is. [ Yeah, she won't deny that, giving his back an apologetic pat. ]

... But because you're recklessly jumping into something dangerous for someone else, I would still call that kind more than anything.

[Gosh, Noire.]

Then... Thanks, I guess. [Even if he's careless at least he's kind, apparently.]

You're... um, welcome? I think you already knew that, though.

I think I did... 'cause I know that you think pretty good of me, Noire. Like I think of you.

[Oh a moment of EARNESTNESS.]

[ Hinata pls don't be so earnest when your eyes are watering-- ]

I'm nowhere near that amazing... but I'm grateful, honestly.

[Sorry Noire he can't help it.]

Well, I think you're that amazing. [But he'll grin to hear her say she's grateful.]

And I think you're half-blind right now as it is...

This and that are completely different things.

And right now, your eyes are more important. Should I dunk that cloth again?

Ah... [His lips purse a little but he holds out the cloth in question.] Yeah. Please.

[ She'll move then, accepting the cloth to go back over to the table and soak it in the basis. There's not much else she can do for him, but at least it's something.

It won't take long before she's back, holding it up to his eyes herself this time. ]

It's been awhile, since I was able to take care of someone else.

[Hinata doesn't expect her to do it herself, so he breathes in in surprise before he relaxes. Because it's Noire and he trusts her implicitly, so even this he's fine if she's the one who's doing it.]

I don't think that I'm, ah... really used to it yet.

[Being taken care of...]

That's probably because you're always looking out for everyone else.

... But I don't think it's wrong to have other people look out for you when you need it. I think it's the least I can do, honestly.

...I'm glad you're here to look out for me, Noire. Thank you.

[Ah... Look, he's accepting it without argument. Hinata might've grown, a bit.]
