[Let's head that off now. She looks up again, the same small smile coming back into rexistence.]

I just didn't know you... wanted that. People at home do that. And Hisoka, do you remember him? He was like that.

[allucinator]

[He still can't meet her gaze, though. His ears have gone red.]

I don't. 'S just-- different, with Mahdi.

[A beat-- and then, rushed:]

We all right?

[payback]

Yeah. Of course, Jack. [A pause. She's thinking of, oh, before: him and Alice. Him and Sirius. He loved them and he doesn't even know he should miss them. He never met them to miss them.]

I just want you to be happy.

[allucinator]

You're sure?

[payback]

[She's taken aback, for a moment. Then she hugs him back and starts to laugh. Rin loves hugs and physical affection, and this is really nice.]

Hello. You're in a good mood!

[payback]

As long as you're not hurting anyone or doing something terribly stupid, I'm not going to get mad...

[implying]

Why, can you blame me?

[ Just a few more kisses, then he pulls back (reluctantly) just enough to address her properly. His arms stay firmly about her, though. ]

I've a beautiful roommate to welcome me back! What could I have to be sad about in the face of that?

( Once upon a time this would have been a long description of what she's going to be doing.

Then she realized she had to send this to a whole bunch of people, so she got lazy, and: )

Hey, I'm going to take up a missionary position in France! See you again in about a month. Hopefully the snow's not all gone by then! Also, try to get Gin to show you the hug a tree survival thing! Demonstrations by teacher first a requirement!

( That was a thing. )

[payback]

Collette what?? I think YOU should get Gin to show me the hug a tree survival thing, he likes you

[crocodilesmiles]

He likes you too! He wouldn't tease you so badly if he didn't, it's like the worst case of elementary school be my friend and respect my playground authority thing. Only partly kidding!

[payback]

WHATEVER

are you going to be ok on this missionary business??

[payback]

Yeah, well, speaking of that, where have you been, Vanadi? [She raises a finger in his face and then abruptly looks concerned.] Did you go home again?

[implying]

I certainly did. [ But this smile of his doesn't make that sound like a particularly bad thing. He even looks pleased about it. ]

[payback]

[... CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER. 8|a]

What happened?

[implying]

[ His smile just grows. ]

Things started looking up a bit.

[ Understatement. But with that said, he moves in again, and this time that diving kiss is aimed for her lips. ]

[payback]

But how - mmp! [He catches her briefly, and then she tilts her head away, instantly transformed into Rin: sulk edition.] Vanadi!

[implying]

[ He only laughs, like a kid having pulled a successful prank, and finally releases her to step back. ]

Well, that's rather a poor showing for a returning dear friend!

[payback]

Bleahhh! [Sticking out her tongue!] Warn a girl!

[implying]

Well then! [ He leans in again and smiles brightly, resting a hand light at each of her hips. ] I'm about to kiss you again.

[ And unless she moves away or shoves him off, in he goes for it again. ]

[payback]

[She leans in!

To try and bite him on the nose.]

[implying]

[ omfg rude. And yet, amusing. He laughs to be thwarted, but since this doesn't leave a great deal of distance between their lips, he twists his head a little further up a second later to try for a proper kiss again.

It's totally a goal worth having his nose bitten off for. ]

[payback]

[Well, she doesn't want to bite his nose ALL the way off. She tilts her head sideways when she feels him move. He can have the cheek.]

Vanadi.

[implying]

[ Oh, fine, he'll take a kiss to the cheek. And he's grinning when he leans back again. ]

Yes?

[ Not one hint of guilt. ]

[payback]

[She reaches out. One hand on his left cheek. One hand on his right cheek. Squish.]

What's got you in such a good mood?

[implying]

[ He arches both brows, and hopes he doesn't look unduly like a fish. But there are worse fates than having Rin squish his face, so he submits. ]

Why, I've come back to rejoin with a few good friends of mine. [ He smiles, and only then does he shrug away her hands, to lean in conspiratorily. ]

And, I was just about to kill her.
