[Day 7 LM] Room For More? (Expecting/Closed)

[Yūrei]

Snip

"I...I."
She shakes her head, rubbing a knuckle into her brow.

"I think so? I don't- It's a lot. I've never been- I mean, I don't think I've been. And there's so much else going on, what if-."
With a lot of weariness.

"I might need some time to think, you know? Just, I have to do some stuff and then I need to just...let my soul have a moment."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"I...I."
She shakes her head, rubbing a knuckle into her brow.

"I think so? I don't- It's a lot. I've never been- I mean, I don't think I've been. And there's so much else going on, what if-."
With a lot of weariness.

"I might need some time to think, you know? Just, I have to do some stuff and then I need to just...let my soul have a moment."

Sakura relaxed slightly. "I...I understand." Of the two of them, Sakura was the one who usually put more emotional investment into all her relationships.

"Your beautiful soul can have all the time its need." She tentatively extended a hand towards Yurei, yearning for a slight touch." Anything I can help with?"

[Yūrei]

Sakura relaxed slightly. "I...I understand." Of the two of them, Sakura was the one who usually put more emotional investment into all her relationships.

"Your beautiful soul can have all the time its need." She tentatively extended a hand towards Yurei, yearning for a slight touch." Anything I can help with?"

"Thanks, I know I sound absolutely hopeless."
She takes Sakura's hand and clasps it tightly in her own.

"Guess all those Scorpion dramas finally got to me."
At the offer for help her face falls a little.

"I...no, there's something I have to do myself. And it needs to be alone."

"Your helplessness makes you adorable babe." She smiled, clasping the hand.

"I understand. I'll give you all the space you need." She hesitated, then slowly raised Yurei's hand to her lips, placing a small kiss there. "We can be platonic ronin friends for a while more. I'll wait for you."

"I understand. I'll give you all the space you need." She hesitated, then slowly raised Yurei's hand to her lips, placing a small kiss there. "We can be platonic ronin friends for a while more. I'll wait for you."

Yūrei blushes furiously at that, despite Sakura having seen her in every form of undress the past few years.

"Thanks Sakura-chan. I just need a day or two to clear my head. Think on everything. I'll let you know when I'm good, alright?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

Yūrei blushes furiously at that, despite Sakura having seen her in every form of undress the past few years.

"Thanks Sakura-chan. I just need a day or two to clear my head. Think on everything. I'll let you know when I'm good, alright?"

"You're always good, Yu-chan. At least to me." She took a deep breath. "The picture...I actually got it before...you know." She waved uselessly in the air.

[Yūrei]

"You're always good, Yu-chan. At least to me." She took a deep breath. "The picture...I actually got it before...you know." She waved uselessly in the air.

"Well, regardless of what happens, the picture is staying. We've been friends for ages, before..."
She mimics the gesture with her own hand.

"Now, you gotta get on with your day and I've have to definitely not panic in my room for an hour or two."

Sakura sighed. "Okay, but laundry first, not panicking and crawling into the futon I just made later. Okay?" She paused for a second. "You smell nice, you should keep it that way."

She smiled and rose slowly, delicately. Stepping away, fighting the urge to reach out for a hug before leaving through the teeny-tiny crack of an entrance.

"I-"
Sakura disappears
"-Always smell nice..."

The ronin sits quietly for a few minutes before standing and slowly collecting her washing. One thing at a time.

((Thanks for the scene ))
