[In she goes! That was the hard part, she thinks — getting Kyouka to let her into the room.
(Like, sure, she could probably just get Nico to let her in later, but interrogating his partner with him present probably won't go over well. She doesn't think he would appreciate her being overprotective.)]
Anything you wouldn't mind sharing. I'll share a little about myself in return, of course.
{Fair's fair, after all.]
But first — going after our hosts like you did... that was very brave of you.
[ Was it brave? It's not bravery that spurred her into motion, and she's surprised anyone would think that. The small pause in her step as she moves for the bed may be telling. ]
I wasn't trying to be brave. It was the only action I could see at the time.
[ It was half an act of desperation. With no preamble and no transition, she continues, listing information about herself like it's rehearsed, like it's a mantra: ]
I'm an orphan. I like rabbits and tofu. I don't like thunder.
i'm so mad at myself i thought i replied to this before the trial
[Desperate though it might have been, at least Kyouka did something. That's so much more than some of the others - including Reyna herself - can say.
But that's, uh, that's quite the collection of facts, likes, and dislikes. Her expression is sympathetic. Kyouka's young to be orphaned - young, and not even a demigod, although her tapestry makes it pretty clear that there's something up with her.]
I'm sorry for your loss. [Losing a parent is never easy. Losing both? That's even worse.] Dunno if we'll find any tofu around here, but I bet if we can make it outside we can find some.
[Woodland creatures are a staple of fairy tales, right?]
If we find a way, do you want to see if we can find some together?
[ There can be more said about her parents, but it's nothing Kyouka wants to air right now.
On the subject of possible woodland creatures, however Kyouka perks up and looks in the direction of the nearest window, assuming these bedrooms have windows. ]
Yes. Do you think I could keep one, if we can find any?
[hey ara assuming they're both alive next week do you wanna have them go into the woods looking for rabbits? c: ]
I doubt it. Nico's not exactly the cuddliest guy ever [honestly, the thought of him hugging a rabbit is kind of hilarious] but I don't see him having a problem with it as long as you take good care of it.

What do you want to know?

i can pretend you did

god bless
I don't see why not. Plenty of us had pets come here with us - what's one more?
[i hope kyouka adopts rabbit and teaches it to murder]
no subject
Kyouka looks so alive at the prospect. ]
Okay. I'm going to find one as soon as possible.
[ Maybe she should ask Nico if it's okay first. But maybe rabbits are more important than what Nico wants. ]
Do you think he'll mind?
no subject
I doubt it. Nico's not exactly the cuddliest guy ever [honestly, the thought of him hugging a rabbit is kind of hilarious] but I don't see him having a problem with it as long as you take good care of it.
He's actually pretty nice, you know?
no subject
I will take the best care of it.
[ On multiple levels, having a pet rabbit would validate Kyouka. ]
He is. He answered my questions when he didn't have to, and he gave me the bed.
no subject
We'll go looking for one as soon as we get the chance, in that case.
[...but - good. Nico hasn't forgotten his manners, thank the gods. Not that Reyna really thought he would, but it's a difficult situation to be in.]
I'm glad to hear he's been treating you well.
no subject
He said I could trust you more than him.
[ She's not sure about that, but she'll be open about it. ]
