Ehe, thanks. And solids only, got it. [She's happy Junna is happy for her, but she doesn't feel like she knows what she's doing enough to be excited quite yet; she'll probably get a little more competitive as she understands what she's doing, but for now she's not a total failure at this, and that's a start.] And me again. [Blink, blink.] Which makes the expression "running the table" make sense. Eep. I guess I should be happy I got another turn.
[Which... feels like a metaphor for her life at the moment, as she looks for another shot. Not the 2, she'll save that for an emergency. Maybe the- no, not the 8, that one doesn't count, right, right. Hmm.]
We... well, honestly, those text messages right before you disappeared really, really messed with us. With me especially. The moment you stopped answering me, I ran off to your dorm room, and when you weren't there, I... um, I was already panicking, but I freaked out. I ended up calling him to see if he'd talked to you, and we called Senpai- [no, he called Senpai, she wouldn't have been able to understand me-] and then we went in after you, even before your Disturbance actually... formed?
[She takes aim at a red ball across the table, to put in a corner pocket; she's not confident since it's so long a shot, but she doesn't see anything else she wants to risk right now. With a long, only slightly shaky breath out, she taps the cue, and it hits but the 3 doesn't quite get there, stopping short and resting against the wall. She shakes her head slightly and backs up, heading back toward the table Junna had set the drinks on to take a sip. If she's going to be running her mouth all night, she should. Probably take care of her voice.]
Mm, nope. Ah, so when I caught up with him in the courtyard, we... kinda talked about some of the stuff that was bothering you. He felt like there was more we could have done for you before everything went bad, which... you already know how I feel about that. But, um... he had to remind me again that I'm. That I'm enough as I am. That you chose me, and if anyone has a problem with that, they can stuff it. [Her smile is... a little more fragile for a moment.] And then you had to remind me again two weeks later, so. I, um, don't learn very well in a crisis.
