Ah, I'm okay! You don't have to apologize. Thinking back on it, it was pretty funny.
[They had the distinct feeling that Setsu would die Again if they said it had been kind of cute, so they keep that fact to themselves.]
I did hit my head a little on the ground, but it doesn't hurt or anything. Sometimes I forget you're a soldier, so you're way stronger than the rest of us...
Even so... Even if you didn't get hurt, that just means I should have more awareness of what I'm doing! I don't do that kind of thing normally, I swear!
[ Honestly, half their embarrassment had purely been in dismissively assuming an (appARENTLY) innocuous request had been a kink thing, and it just. escalated from there, no thanks to the third in their group needling them. ]
If you won't take an apology, do you want to go out somewhere? We can look for a swimming spot, or check out the market or something.
Well, it's not like we've really had windows to think about for awhile...
[None that you could vault through without the consequences being way worse, at least! Maybe that's why they can't help but think it was so amusing. Of course, they are more than willing to exploit Setsu's need to make it up to them if it meant.]
But I won't say no to a day out! I'm sure we can do both while we're looking around! I'm still getting used to knowing where I am in this place, so it'd be nice not to wander around alone.
[can you hear the shoujo bubbles in their voice. can you.]
I guess. Not that going out of a station bulkhead would be any better for your health, either.
[ They're not much of an emoji user, but there's a palpable ">:/" in their text. also, of all the things they've been through, 'experiencing atmospheric re-entry' is not on the list and it will never be in the running. But they perk up at the second half of the message, enough that it surprises even Setsu a bit. It's not like they haven't gone wandering before, like when Yuri was getting pastries the other day. ]
Aaah, never mind that. Great! I'll meet you at the main entrance of the castle.
[ ...and they'll do just that, idling awkwardly at the stone steps like they're not sure where to put their hands -- probably not out of any nervous energy, and because for once they're out of uniform. They're in a belted tunic and leggings borrowed from their dorm, though they still have their old gloves and boots on. ]
