[maya your hands!!]

Take a break. [take your tea!! but after a moment:]

...I wanted to tell you I'm switching dorms tomorrow.

[feytality]

[ it's fine ]

[ she obliges... warming her hands a little with the tea before taking a sip ]

[ she can't help the look of disappointment that flits across her face when he admits it, though her expression smooths out pretty quickly afterwards ]

Oh.... yeah, I get it... there's a lot of drama here, and you probably want to be with your [ boy ] friend....

[goalsides]

[he's still frowning, so it's not like he's super gungho either.]

It has nothing to do with the drama. But...it's something I have to do. You saw how badly injured everyone got when they went to those places and came back. I don't want to risk being separated if something like that happens on another Thursday.

And he won't move here, so...I'm moving out for a while.

[feytality]

Okay... I understand.

[ she smiles! maybe a little too quickly ]

[ but honestly, if phoenix or pearl were here... she'd do the same ]

I hope that you come and visit me, at least. I'll let you in whenever you want to drop by.

[goalsides]

[this is terrible wow never mind.]

That's why I'm telling you. I want to still hang out and do stuff together. And I'm still going to try to find out everything I can to share with you guys. But I didn't want to leave without saying anything to you.

[feytality]

Thank you. I'd be kinda worried if you just ran off... [ says maya, who would absolutely run away like a coward if she was leaving ]

Well, maybe I'll come hang out at Fall, too. When I want to use the bathroom without fear! Or I need a break from all the dumb guys.

[goalsides]

[normally he would but also he is trying to prove that "disappearing without warning" is not always accurate!!]

With the way things are...it's better to be safe. And anyway, yeah, you can come hang out in Fall if you want. A lot of the people over there are pretty cool anyway. [...he grins a little sheepishly though.] This dorm's nice, too, but...sometimes things are a little weird.

[feytality]

[ proud of him ]

Weirder than here? [ a little cheeky grin ] You know... I don't think I've ever seen the inside of Fall.... so maybe I'll take a field trip tomorrow after you switch, and you can show me around.

[goalsides]

The inside's nice. I checked it out a while ago when somebody let me in. We can hang out in the common room and stuff if you want to come visit for a while and get away from...whatever's going on here.

[feytality]

Yeah, there does seem to be a lot going on here, doesn't there...?

[ ... ]

Okay. It's a plan. .... Before you go, though... can I ask you a favor?

[goalsides]

A little. [but he sits up a little taller when she asks.]

Sure. What kind of favor?

[feytality]

Ms. Lucretia told me you guys took pictures together..... I want to take some pictures with you, too.

[ gay ]

[goalsides]

[incredibly gay. but he does seem to brighten.]

Oh yeah, I showed her how to use the photobooth over in the student union building. We can do that whenever you want.

[feytality]

How about now? No time like the present!

Plus, we can get away from this mess for a little while...

[goalsides]

...that actually sounds like a great idea. [haha.] Come on. Let's go.

[feytality]

[ following behind him as they go ]

You think Yamato would want to do this, too? Or would he just make annoyed faces at me the whole time?

[goalsides]

Hmm...maybe later. I think he's probably busy right now anyway. But if it makes you feel better he'd probably make annoyed faces at me, too.

[feytality]

He's just that kinda guy, huh?

[ she seems kind of endeared, though..... yamato's personality reminds her of phoenix ]

[goalsides]

Yeah. The more annoyed he is the more he likes you, usually. [yamato's a tsundere and he's never going to let him live it down.] You eventually learn how to tell when he's being fussy and when he's actually mad.

[feytality]

I guess you're the expert, huh? [ teasing a little since they've fought in public ]

I get the sense he doesn't like me very much.... [ because she annoys him so much ] But I like him. He's pretty nice.

[goalsides]

I'm pretty sure I've earned my expertise by now. We used to fight a lot more when we were younger. [this is just said like someone thinking back fondly on childhood and not something that should raise some alarm.]

It takes time for him to warm up to people, but he's a good person. He'll deny it if you tell him that, but he cares about people. A lot.

[feytality]

[ maya just thinks of this as a normal guy thing.... phoenix and edgeworth always fought in court, too. childhood friends... ]

I got that feeling.... he told me I could count on him, when we first met.

[ it was gay ]

[goalsides]

[it's fine, they're fine.]

Yeah, that sounds about right. He's not really the kind of person to abandon people when they need help.

[feytality]

Weeeelll... I didn't really need help, but yanno. It was still nice to hear.

[ taichi the defense attorney ]

[goalsides]

Who knows? Maybe someday you will. And then what? You'll at least know who you can ask!

[stop volunteering yamato for things. which is why there's the follow-up.]

...you can always ask me for stuff, too, if you need it.
