[There's a knock on Aqua's door.
There's also a pile of books—Les Mis, War & Peace, and the DSM-V when he opens it, but no one's (obviously) there. She's waiting around a corner to make sure he gets them.]

[takes a minute to get it but blinking when he realizes what happened, yelling down the hall]
Ruby? Where are you?
Ruby? Where are you?
[he can probably hear the sound of footsteps rushing away but the everything that happened is finally catching up to her
and she needs to figure out a way to process stuff]

[lightly hitting his fist against the frame of the door but gathering the books up, going back inside after slamming the door]

she'll find him on day 8 and act like everything's absolutely fine even if aqua was basically the equivalent of godzilla destroying a city to her mental health]

[who says he wants to be found!!! what about that!]
[she's going to send him like 500 texts if she CAN'T find him and just be so obnoxious he'll want to be found]
[waiting until like 10AM to text her back]
I slept in. Calm down. I'm at the gym.

[getting off the treadmill now before someone gets hurt, very closely scanning her over]
What?
What?
I was looking for you. You could've answered me sooner!
My phone was on silent, and I slept in, like I said. Sorry.
[taking a seat at a bench that has one of his books on it]
Thanks, by the way. For the books.

[is she touching?? because he is a little sweaty]

Nineteen. And what did you buy?
Nineteen. And what did you buy?
My yukata. And the geta and kanzashi that go with it.

Nineteen!? You just got here!

I've been efficient. Now, I have a rough idea of my budget and can just sit back and wait for new missions.
[read: back in my introvert arc and going to be hiding forever~]
Get someone to help with your yukata before you go out with Kazuha. You always made a mess out of it without Miyako to fix it for you.

Maybe I've gotten better about it!

[sure, he will just go with it]
Maybe you have and maybe it isn't.
Maybe you have and maybe it isn't.
[huff]
... I haven't and it is. So you're not wrong.
... I haven't and it is. So you're not wrong.
And that's why you need to ask another girl for help, like Mafuyu. Kazuha and I aren't going to know how to.
[siiiiigh]
I'll get Mafuyu to help... maybe I could help her with hers, too, if she gets one. I bet she'd be really cute...

Sounds like you're about to start planning a summer festival now . . .
That wouldn't be a problem, though. Sometimes you just wanna go to a summer festival!
