“Plenty of time for what?”

--{ She hasn’t been very upbeat lately.

Of course, at school, smiles abound! Of course. But as soon as she leaves the perimeter, out of sight of those classmates, friends, acquaintances...  Only one person is left to notice, isn’t there? But even him -- her mind has been caught on the thought lately -- Even him...

She made no particular effort to conceal herself from him, today. Maybe it was an effort of... some kind, she didn’t know. A part of her wanted him to notice, but at the same time.. selfish girl-

She threw aside her bookbag as she got to her room, snackless, wordless. The door closed firm behind her, and she sat on the floor, thinking, somewhat.. waiting. Why, though? What exactly did she want? How many mixed feelings-

But regardless how much she wanted it, or didn’t, a knock on the door would surely come, wouldn’t it? He’d been.. trying, after all, lately-- Little acknowledgement as she gave to it, she did see it.. So just... confirm, for her, onii-chan-- 

Even though her head wouldn’t lift when the knock did come..

Heh~ He’ll do a little laugh himself, and grin with a little bow as he presents her with– uh oh, what’s this– a box!!!

And how is it? Startling? One moment seated on the couch, snacking away at ice cream and enjoying those odd activities that Erunas do -- the next, a boy, lept onto the sofa’s arm with the silence and swiftness of a cat, and crouched similar enough to one, looking almost ready to leap-- is suddenly staring deep into a girl’s soul.

... Goddamn suddenly she wishes she has a hat

But she does have a stupid accent she could call on, and a stupid hand to extend.
