She did seem to be in quite a hurry to figure things out. Well, he wasn't going to 'patrol' the train this time around, yet he could pretend he was when he went on the lookout for his favorite Ravenclaw, right? Yes, of course, he could pretend.
"The Trophy Room part? No, I didn't think it was something I should say," because, after all, that part only concerned Kurumi, and he wasn't going to go around telling people how she felt about him. "I'm not...ending things...the problem is, that a couple weeks ago she kissed me," Kurumi, of course, then again, he also kissed Ellie on the day he told her, but he was talking about Kurumi at the moment, "I kissed her back," THAT was the important part of the story, because he could care less about the part where Kurumi kissed him, the one thing that affected him in the end was his mistake. "Ellie knows that bit." And Arya knew the rest of the story.
"I told Kurumi that space was most necessary again," and then she came around with cupcakes. Sigh.
Arya was silent for a long moment, processing what he was saying.
"... It was her you kissed?" No more questions as to why, it only seemed to confuse them both even more. And she didn't need to be confused even more than she was hearing that he kissed her BACK. He kissed her back, and...
"Do you like her? Kurumi I mean." Or was it just a kiss? Was there ever such a thing?
"I guess it makes sense... why Ellie won't speak with you." Because had Sabel done the same thing, she'd never be able to look at him again, never be able to THINK about him again without her heart breaking into a thousand tiny pieces.
"Yeah.. space makes sense now."
