>>Week 7; Monday, 12pm; Hajime Hinata

[symbologic]

[Faize keeps a firm grip on Hinata's wrist, continuing to lead him up the stairs and then into room 102. Only once they are safely inside does he offer an explanation, still giving Hinata an incredulous look.]

I was attempting to be discreet, Hajime! I thought you would appreciate that, given that you are clearly more bothered by this motive than you would like any of us to believe.

[Really...dude...he knows he's not great at this whole emoting thing but give him some credit here. He's not so hopeless that he believes oj is the answer to all your problems.]

[Faize smiles gently, inclining his head.]

Of course. I know that this is very difficult news for you, Hajime, but...so long as you keep moving forward in spite of it, you should be just fine. And know that I am here to assist you, in whatever way that I can.

[So...it'll be alright, man.]

[hopefragment]

[Difficult... it's almost funny again, how little that word really means. Lots of things are difficult, but this had seemed almost impossible. And... even with the pep talk, it doesn't mean he still won't stew on it. At least for now, though, he just keeps rubbing at his eyes and trying to sniff his snot back into his nose. Gross.]

I... thanks, Faize. [You said that already, dude.] ...I mean it. You're right, I just... have to keep moving forward and... do my best. We both will.

[Finally blows his nose into the tissues... still gross, but slightly less gross than trying to snot it back where it came from.]

[symbologic]

[Ew...Hinata...das gross...]

[Faize doesn't actually say this though, but rather smiles even more brightly. Apparently agreeing that he has to keep moving forward was the right answer. He looks really pleased to hear Hinata say that.]

If ever you need to talk about it again, you know where to find me.
