[it whisks out of her hand but it also keeps whisking back into it, so that's all right]

...apologize...?!

[rootsforyou]

[touches it softly every time it comes back in reach, just quietly there]

Mm. Shall I go and get him for you? Or do you need time to think on what to say?

[laughitoff]

I need time.

[rootsforyou]

[nods]

Take your time. I admit that I didn't think it would be this much of a shock to you. He made the milkshake right in front of you without looking at a recipe.

[laughitoff]

You make things without looking at recipes all the time...

[rootsforyou]

Because I know the recipe by heart. It's easy after you've made something so many times.

[laughitoff]

[guilty wiggle]

...well, I didn't know.

[rootsforyou]

It can't be helped if you weren't aware of that before. Now that you are aware, though, you can keep it in mind.

[laughitoff]

Shijie. Shijie he was making them even after I yelled at him.

[rootsforyou]

[nods!]

Yes. I'm not surprised to hear that.

[laughitoff]

[makes an 'aaaaaaaaaaa' noise into the bedspread]

[rootsforyou]

[her words being very gentle makes them all the more brutal, probably]

This is why I was insistent that you had misunderstood his feelings towards you.

[laughitoff]

[SULKING]

Thank you for pointing it out.

[rootsforyou]

[settles her hands into her lap]

...A-Xian. It's alright.

[laughitoff]

Nooooo it's not...

[rootsforyou]

It is. You're both here. Even if you fought and had misunderstandings in the past, you can still talk them through.

[laughitoff]

[mutters something that sounds suspiciously like 'can we though?']

[rootsforyou]

...If you want to reach out to him, you can. I'm sure he's willing.

[laughitoff]

[winces]

I'll do it later today.

[rootsforyou]

There's no rush if you want more time to think about what to say. But you do live in the same dorm, so...it might make it less awkward to find time today.

[laughitoff]

Okay...

[X(]

[rootsforyou]

Should I heat up some soup for tonight?

[laughitoff]

[huddles tighter]

...yes please...

[rootsforyou]

You'll feel better with some warm food in you. Did you eat breakfast at all?

[laughitoff]

...a little...

[he's sooooo whiny]
