"You go on ahead. I prefer to shower early morning, so don't worry 'bout me, kay?" He smiled at his friend before leaning backward again. "I'm sorta tired anyway. It's been a long day after all. I think I'll get to my homework and then just hit the hay for now. Try not to prune up though in the shower 'kay? It's bad for your health, they say."

[Honor]

Olivia laughed a little and rolled her eyes about the pruning comment. "I'll try really hard." She said with mocking, yet playful, sincerity. She brushed hair from her face and stood, throwing Saya one last glance before she did so. She walked slowly to her bag and bent down to retrieved her necessary items. "If your asleep before I get out then goodnight." She said, then walked into the bathroom.

She allowed herself to lean against the closed door of the bathroom and slide down to the floor. Saya's song played itself over in her head and she closed her eyes to enjoy it. She had felt amazing singing it with him, but she couldn't figure out why. Opening her eyes she sighed and decided it must be because he was a fantastic musician.

She showered, taking her time and allowing the water to soak away her tension just like the night before. Again she used her coconut shampoo and it continued to comfort her. When it was time to get out of the showered she wanted to stay in a little longer, but she instead got out, dried herself and dressed. Opening the door she peaked out again, wondering if this would become a habit.

OOC:

(( I was thinking it might be cute to have Olivia dress up as a girl for a play or something. Like Joey could ask her for a favor, needing someone to play a minor role in a play he's doing -a maid or something- and could beg Olive to do it since she looks so girly. I think it'd be a shock for all of them to see her dressed like a girl XD ))

"Night to you too," Sayaku replied swiftly before staring upward at the upper bed again- an old habit he found hard to break after a few years.

After a few moments, he forced himself off his bed to go to his bag, pulling out the day's homework and working on it the best he could. When he was done, he wrote a letter to one of his friends, stating in it to read a secondary letter to his sister since she couldn't read. He then sealed it. "I'll send this tomorrow... Let's see, homework's done so...Guess I can hit the hay now."

However, sleep didn't come as easily that night, so he ended up just listening to the shower going on. When he heard the door open a bit, he looked over. "I'm still awake. But it's not like you have to worry all that much anyway, y'know. If I was asleep I'd be out like a light." He laughed a bit. "By the way...That scent's coconut, right? That's a nice scent... Way better then my mint stuff my sister packed for me."

((OOC: Sounds like fun to me 8D Sayaku would try to find a way to help too, though I don't know how... Hm...))

[Honor]

Olivia colored slightly at having been caught, but she was glad he could not see it in the dark, with her form silhouetted by the bathroom light. Turning she shut of the light, making the room dark save for some moonlight that filtered in through the window. "I... guess I didn't want to disturb you, incase you were dreaming or something. I hate getting my dreams enterupted." She said with a smiled, though it faltered as the statment wasn't completely true, again she was grateful for the dark. In truth she was worried she might accidentally walk in on him changing, something she wanted to prevent for as long as possible.

She stepped carefully in the dark, not knowing the room well enough to navigate it without light. "Yeah it is. It makes me think of home. My third oldest sister loves coconuts so the bathroom always smells like them. You can use it if you want." She leaned forward, trying to see where the edge of the bed was. She underestimated her distance and her hands landed on the upper portion of Saya's thighs. She paused there, not understanding why the bed felt odd, her hand squeezing gently. "Wha- Oh!" She imediantly back tracked, pulling her hands away as if bitten. "I'm sorry! Geez, I've been doing this all day!"

((great! hmm... Joey could perhaps need a servant boy in the play also?))

[Juneberry]

((That works. And Sayaku can play a real mean peasant ;D lul))

"It's fine. It is dark in here. Y'know though, you could turn on the light next time. Isn't there a switch next to the bathroom?" He chuckled a bit, apparently not phased. "Don't worry too much though. It's understandable you might miss the bed since it's dark. I'm just glad I was the one you caught and not some sort of poisonous animal... Or a goat. Either of those could be bad."

As he chuckled some more, he moved so that he was sitting up, though he hit his head on a nearby board from getting up too fast without checking where the boards for the ladder were. "Dang that hurt..." Shaking it off, he looked over to where he assumed his friend was. "By the way, did you do the homework already? I was curious if you got the math homework alright. I know I hate math- I'm horrible at it. So I planned on sending a letter to my sister about it tomorrow..."

[Honor]

Olivia's face was burning yet it didn't seem to bother Saya at all. She was very thankful that he was her roommate. She could be such a klutz sometimes! "Yeah there is a switch there... but my memory is about nine seconds long and never gives me useful information when I need it." She laughed a bit at her own stupidity. "I'll keep an eye out for the goats." She said with a grin.

She sat down at the edge of his bed, jumping a bit when he hit his head. "You alright?" She wanted to touch his head to see if he had a bump there, but she decided it was best to keep her hands to herself for the rest of the night. "Yeah, I did it in some spare time I had in class. I think I got the math. Of course with my luck I'm probably terrible wrong."

[Juneberry]

"I'm fine. If I can handle the work I did on the farm I can handle a quick bump on the head." Grinning, he laughed a bit as well. "Don't let your nine-second long memory let you forget to keep an eye on the goats if they suddenly end up here. I hear there's a farm near the school so we really do need to be aware I think..." Shaking it off, he thought back to the homework issue.

"I still bet you did better then I did. Math is my sister's thing. I mean, she's a freak genius with it, I swear... Anything that involves numbers and "simple" ideas, as she puts it even with the hardest formulas there are in my opinion, she loves. To be honest, that situation separates us a lot even though it means I have something to do with her..." He laughed nervously. "My sister is weak-bodied, clumsy and horrible with people. So usually, I can't do anything with her because she's stuck in bed a lot from her bad health. That's why doing math with her, no matter how much I hate the math part, makes me happy anyway. She was always smiling when she helped me with my math. It made her feel accomplished, it seemed like. Because besides that and her herbs, she didn't really have much she could do with her own abilities."

He shook it off. "Sorry, I must really be a pain with that. I guess despite my problem with girls I still manage to have a sister complex. But... I'm really worried about her. She's alone now...And I can't trust her to take care of herself. Chinza moved into the area before I left so I know she'll keep an eye on Flute for me but... I can't help but worry..." He sighed. "Maybe I'm just being over protective... But... I'm her older brother. Isn't it my job?" He looked upward to the other bed. "What do you think? Do you think it'd bother her if she knew how worried I'm getting just because I don't live nearby to keep an eye on her? Something tells me if she found out she'd get mad at me." He laughed weakly.

[Honor]

Olivia smiled at Saya softly. "I think... that she would not want you to worry, because it causes you distress but... she would happy that her big brother cared that much. She might act angry, but she would be secretly pleased." She told, remembering her own sisters as she did so. "I may not have any younger sisters, but I worry about my older ones. I can understand why you worry so much. Because I know my sisters have each other to rely on I can put myself at ease." A smiled played at her lips as she remembered how well she and her sisters looked after each other. As much she worried she knew they were fine. "Honestly, they probably worry more about me being out here."

She brushed hair from her face and closed her eyes in concentration for a moment. She hadn't spoken with her sisters in a while... perhaps she would call them, though she wasn't to thrilled about lying to them about where she was. If they knew they wouldn't let her stay. The would bored a plane sooner than Olivia could shut her phone and whisk her away from her dream school.

[Juneberry]

"I hope she doesn't actually hate me," He replied with a smile as he listened to his friend's words. "Sis has little self-confidence, so my worrying tends to cause trouble for that. But... I know there are some things she can do that only she can do. I rely on her too. I wish she relied on me a little more."

"I'll probably call her tomorrow if I can. Is it alright if I mention you though?" Sayaku smiled some more and rested his head against the nearby wall. "Since Sis was never able to go to school due to her health, she always asks me what it's like and about the people I meet. So you're likely gonna be the first topic of conversation besides math. Or Joey..."

Suddenly, a phone vibrating caught his attention. His mother had forced him to get a cell phone even from afar when he first left home, and it was now going off again. "Huh...? A message from mom..." He read it carefully. "The school is having a festival soon or something? I don't get it. Some sort of play? Sis found out and wants to come? That's crazy... She'd get a panic attack just by walking onto campus..."

[Honor]

Olivia shrugged, "Mention me all you want, though I don't think I'm a particularly interesting topic. Well besides the fact that I run into you every ten seconds." She grinned at him even though he could not see it.

"I should call my sister too. Man, I'll get an earful that for sure. They very much enjoy telling me everything they find at least mildly interesting. They find a lot of things interesting." She laughed, remember their many talk where she herself was mostly silent. "A festival? Know anything about that? I haven't heard a thing." She asked him curiously.

[Juneberry]

Sayaku laughed a bit. "Trust me, anyone is an interesting topic for my sister. As I said, she's usually stuck at home in bed, so she doesn't know much about people. Her favorite thing to do is watch sitcoms or the news so she can learn more about people. Oh, or science-based shows... I remember her always watching those..." He laughed a bit.

"I never heard a thing until now about it. Apparently there's some sort of play I didn't know about... Sis found out somehow, but... I don't know if it's a good idea for her to come. Ironically, like my problem with girls, sis is deftly afraid of guys. Though her reason is even more understandable..."

[Honor]

Curiosity squirmed in Olivia's stomach as he trailed off hid sentence. She wanted to know why his sister had more of a reason to fear guys than Saya did girls. "Yeah... most normal girls would be intimidated by a school full of guys..." She said, talking from experience. This place still intimated her. In fact, the only male in the school who didn't intimidate her was Sayaku. He seemed very good hearted and she felt even if her were to discover her true gender he wouldn't lay a hand on her. It was a comforting thought.

"Ah... you said your sister has more of a reason to fear guys... would it be alright if I asked why?" She said tentatively. It really wasn't her business, but it clearly concerned Saya.

[Juneberry]

"When I was younger and had first moved in with my sister and uncle, she didn't know anyone besides people she met at the hospital, uncle and me. I started school and made some friends easily...And they were all good people, from what I'd known. Unfortunately, I didn't realize one of them wasn't as good as I thought." He laughed nervously. "Flutter was always talking about how much fun it was when Michael came to visit, so I thought, 'hey, cool, we have a friend in common now'. However, whenever she asked what it meant to go out with someone, I had no idea why."

"Apparently, Michael kept asking her out... But he got tired of her not understanding what he meant. She kept saying she didn't understand, because she was sheltered and didn't know much about relationships and feelings. Eventually...It got out of hand. I walked in one day when he was taking care of her during one of my extra curricular activities...And he was assaulting her..." He sighed. "Michael's been in jail since then. She can't go near most guys anymore 'cause of it... She already had a general fear of people that had been subsiding. Now it's basically just guys..."

[Honor]

Olivia felt sadness prick her heart. She felt sorry for her. In here mind she had seen his sister as sweet and innocent. The way Saya described her had led her to believe that she had been the closest thing to an angel that could live on this earth. It so felt wrong that she had been harmed in any way.

Finally, after a long moment she spoke, her voice breathy and quiet. "That's... terrible." She felt the words were inadequate so she tried to add on, "Some people are just... rotten," this felt even less adequate.

Her mind had pulled her to a darker place, a memory she had long since buried. Nothing had happen to her or to anyone she loved, but she felt danger had been closer than her parents thought. A man had broken into her house when she was small. They had hidden in the house till the police arrive, but just before they did the man had seen her and just for a second their eyes had met. The look in his eyes was something that made her shudder even now. Had Flutter seen the same kind of eyes?

[Juneberry]

Sayaku nodded. "He isn't a bad person though all in all. Even sis agrees with that. Every year for her birthday, even now... He still finds a way to send her flowers. She's scared, but she still feels alright about him. She just won't get too close to guys now." He smiled. "

He really did care about her. Just looking at him talk about her makes it obvious. I was surprised, to be honest... I went to visit him afterwards, and he actually cried from how horrible he felt. He had just been pushed over the edge- he didn't want to hurt her in actuality. He just lost control. But I still don't forgive him either way...Mostly."

Sayaku smiled to Oliver simply. "Something tells me you're someone she'd be comfortable with too. Maybe it's because you're a little more feminine then other guys, but it might just be because you're easy to talk to. But either way, I have a feeling sis will enjoy meeting you. Probably Joey too, but his energy may scare her. So... I'd like to ask you a favor. When she comes... Please be nice to her like you are to me. It'd be good if she met someone she felt calm with."
