I'm glad you said it. Later... um, later--I want to hear about what happened for you. If you're okay sharing it. If not, or if you need some time, I--I understand. I totally understand. [She exhales.] But I want to do better when there's something I think I should talk about. For me and for you. But, um...
[She smiles a little more.] ...Right now, I think we both need something else.
[Then--then she catches the mischief in her smile, the playfulness in her voice, and it's a relief to see that look on Lisa's face. But it also makes her turn a brighter shade of red, and it gets a laugh out of her that has more happiness than in awhile. And when she looks to the side, briefly, it's not because she's ashamed. She's just embarrassed, in a good way.] Well...
[She looks back at her girlfriend, and she tries to not think about the way her heart's pounding in her chest. It's a good thing, though. She hasn't felt like that in weeks. She's trying to logic it out, and that's not really working. She already made her choice: if she's told to pick, she picks Lisa. So after a moment's hesitation, she reaches her hand up, resting her fingers on Lisa's cheek.]
It was lonely and cold in the Disturbance, and I'm not alone here. And I feel warm whenever I'm with you. S-So, ah... [Her cheeks feel like they're on fire, now.] ...I-I want to stay with you tonight. And I don't just want to fall asleep next to you.
[There's a brief pause, while she's looking into Lisa's eyes. Junna's lip trembles. Then... she promptly ruins the smoothness by blurting out:] I-i-if that's okay, if I misunderstood the situation it's fine, r-really! W-We can just have separate cold showers and I-I'll sleep on the floor!
[Sorry, Lisa, even after facing her despair manifested in a dream space, she's still kind of a mess.]
