Safety: ? Not bad, these renovations. ?
Hide: ? You have terrible timing
Safety: ? Who? ? Me?
Hide: ? Yes! ? We were having a wondeful New Years and birthday and we were talking about getting married… ? *smiles* *looks at the writer and frowns, throwing her hands up* ? But then you had to go and I barely get a chance to talk to him and now his writer has a roomate and by the time he’s gone, you’ll have to go again, running all over and I get no time with Hajime!
Safety: ? What a temper tantrum… *laughs*
Hide: ? *shakes her head*
Safety: ? Congratulations on getting closer to married… though I always knew you two would. ? So is this why you spent the week sighing and clutching that glove of his that you keep in your obi? ? *chuckles* ? I knew you had to be acting like a woman half your age for a reason. ?
Hide: ? Well, thank you. ? And if you’d be so kind not to tell stories about me and my mementos. ? ? But now, I won’t have any time with him for a while…
Safety: ? But you will in a week or so.
Hide: ? *sighs* ? I know. ? I am -patient-. ?
Safety: ? Let me make it up to you. ? I don’t have them all in, but I think you can manage something. ? *waves a book around* ?
Hide: ? *grabs book, flips through it* ? You have work now, writer. ? *stops at one page* ? *softly* ? I dreamed this the other night… *smiles, touches the paper* ? *realizes that the writer is still there, frowns* ? I promised Hajime a picture. ? If nothing else, please get me one of those for him? ? You aren’t a good writer, so at least get some pictures made.
Safety: ? As Kizu-san said, I do suck. ? *laughs* ? So anyway, when’s this wedding?
Hide: ? There are things to do… and two things I want to ask him. ? First…
Safety: ? *holds up her hand* ? Hide-san, ask him. ?
Hide: ? *shakes head, grins* ? You sound like her. ? But on this one thing, you are correct. ? And why are you just sitting there when you have work to do?? ? *throws the book back at the writer* ? And I … *smiles* ? I have to make time move.
