April catch-all ♫

[traceofeffort]

⭐ Who: Lisa and you! Yeah, you, I see you on your phone over there, come on, sing along! Junna will be along for at least one of these, I expect, You'll Know.
⭐ When: All through April! Especially earlier in the month, though.
⭐ Where: Asagi Public Library, DU HQ, Tsubaki Department Store, the park, and probably other places too
⭐ What: After last month's roller coaster of emotions, Lisa's doing her best to keep her head and embrace her vision for the future, with everything preparing for adult life entails. She's also got some slightly esoteric shopping to do.
⭐ Warnings: Early in the month, nothing, for once! Tooth-rotting fluff, perhaps. Later in the month, Lisa will be somewhat less cheery for Obvious Reasons.

This would normally be the part where I put on the "who, me?" face, but... mm.

[Lisa takes a breath and lets him finish. She knows much, much better than to try and hide it from Nikki specifically. So she focuses on keeping herself as calm as she can manage.]

I'd rather be mad at you too. Not that it means anything to say it now, instead of when I'm actively going off the handle. I'm trying to be better. I know I'm not there yet. I don't know if I'll ever get there. But... I'm trying. I'll probably be mad at you again. But- [she pauses, shakes her head, then adds-] thank you, Nikki.

[he listens, oddly patient. No fidgeting, no looking around aimlessly, but genuinely, actively listening. Even though Nikki has only known Lisa for a short amount of time, he can tell this is important. There's a warm smile for a moment before the usual confident and mischievous air seeps in again]

Nah, no problem. No thanks needed, really. The important thing is that you recognized that there's something wrong, y'know? It would really suck if I kicked you out of the Dream Sphere only for you to... [he gestures vaguely] Not notice.

That would make this conversation way more awkward.

Getting to your goal, one step at a time!
