Anything you'd like!

[ Once the teller is folded right, she takes out her pen and marks up the outsides and insides... ]

But it helps a bit if it's a yes or no question! But it goes over your hands like this!

[She says, putting the four folds in her thumbs and pointers, holding them out to her!]

Ta-da!

[comeatme]

Hm. It seems rather innocent so far. A yes or no question...

[After a moment of thinking.]

Will tomorrow be safe?

[loveisanopendoor]

[ Sounds like as good of a question as any. ]

Okay, pick a color. Red, blue, green or yellow!

[comeatme]

Blue.

[Of course blue. While she wasn't in her normal blue armor, her hair still was just....blue.]

[loveisanopendoor]

I kind of figured you'd say that...okay, B-L-U-E.

[ She opens it, in and out, four times, one for each letter...]

Okay, now for numbers! 1 through 4, take your pick.

[comeatme]

Three, to be a little different.

[She already jumped to the conclusion that she would do that again three times.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Oookay! One, two, three...

[In, out, in...and a different set of numbers!]

5, 6, 7, or 8?

[comeatme]

Six this time.

[This is getting odd. More that Lucina has no idea what is going on here.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Getting a little crazy, right? One, two, three, four, five, six!

[ She keeps weaving in and out, and... ]

Okay, this is the really important one! 5, 6, 7 or 8?

[comeatme]

Is it?

[Taking it entirely too seriously! A true Lucina fault.]

T-then....five.

[loveisanopendoor]

A good choice, a good choice! And the answer is...

[ Instead of weaving in and out again, she opens the fold labelled with the five... ]

"Without a doubt"!

[comeatme]

[Sigh of relief.]

That's good to know. We should enjoy that while we can.

[loveisanopendoor]

No kidding. We can always use the break, after all.

[ Seeing Lucina so genuinely relieved over it, she doesn't have the heart to stress that the whole thing is just a silly game. It's a sign of hope, after all. ]

I hope it stays that way for a while, honestly. You take anything you can get here, don't you?

[comeatme]

...you do. It's difficult but the best thing to do when you have a chance is to relax and enjoy life.

[That's her motto, at least. Coming from a place with constant death and fighting.]

[loveisanopendoor]

That's a pretty optimistic way of looking at things! Of course, too much of that isn't exactly the best thing either, in my opinion. When things get too relaxing, too much of the same, you start to get a little bored, don't you? That's why you have to go outside your comfort zone every now and again, after all!

[comeatme]

I suppose I have difficulty with that.

[She really does. But she's going to surmount it right NOW.]

On that line...er...do you happen to have that chocolate?

[Asking for things is outside her comfort zone, yes.]

[loveisanopendoor]

It's okay. I'm just speaking from experience, is all. When you spend too much time in the same place...well, as relaxing as it is, it can be a little bit overwhelming, too, in its own way.

It should be on the desk behind you, though. Have as many as you'd like, Kaori and I kinda hoarded as much as we could when the vending machine started serving it...

[comeatme]

Th-Thank you. I apologize for being such a burden in this manner.

[It was a rare treat! And Lucina only helped herself to one package, whichever the first one she grabbed was.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Lucina, you're not a burden at all. You shouldn't be self-conscious of anything, you can have literally all the chocolate you want to!

[So modest...if it was Anna, she'd probably be stuffing her face right about now. Lucina really was a lot more elegant than she was...]

You can always come by if you want more, too. I know it can be a little addicting, after all.

[comeatme]

If I do, I'll be certain to repay you. You have my word.

[Which was cut off temporarily as she tossed the chocolate in her mouth. And slowly savoured it like there wasn't anymore left.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Oh, come on, don't feel like you're in my debt or anything! That's completely unnecessary, we're friends, Lucina...

[Though she can't help but giggle at the way she's making that chocolate last. Truly a girl after her own heart.]

If anything, you can just repay me by hanging out with me some more!

[comeatme]

That's hardly a fair repayment because I would spend whatever time I can spare with you. I have to think of something more substantial.

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, all the more reason to come by more often, then! I mean, you're always welcome here, you know that, right?

[comeatme]

Yes, I know. And you too are always welcome to come by my room.

[loveisanopendoor]

Maybe I'll take you up on that sometime, actually.

[She wouldn't want to impose or anything on her roommate, but, it's been a little bit of a while since she hasn't slept alone...]

What room are you in..?
