She looked...different from the Kurumi he'd known for so long, a good different of course. "Yeah, it's been a while, eh?" but their last agreement had stated that she was the one to look for him whenever she was ready to do so.
"You look great," or, wait, what? "Your hair, I mean, down like that." the ponytail was the only hairstyle he's ever known when it came to Kurumi.
But where were his manners? "Feel free to join me." He gestured towards a chair nearby, really nearby, but she was more than welcomed if a seat by the window was what she wanted.
The wizard in the glass seemed to think that some other window held more interest and left this one unattended. Great timing.
And there it was. The smile that she had been missing so much. It was really nice to be blinded by it again and a small smile appeared on her lips. "
A little too long," she nodded, eyeing the open seat next to him. Really, that was mostly her fault since she had been the one who needed time to think and sort things out. It had taken her longer than she thought it would, but at least she had come to the proper conclusion, right?
MEEP? The blush returned to her checks as she idly played with her hair. "
Um...thanks," she said with a small bow. "
Mother insisted that I change my hair style a bit, no more hiding behind my bangs and all that." Which had actually proven to be a very good thing.
Smiling again, Kurumi accepted his offer and took a seat. Her body was a little rigid, but that was to be expected after everything that had happened. For her to be perfectly normal would have been more odd. "
I'm um...sorry that things happened the way they did." Yeah, Kurumi was still blaming herself for all that. "
And..just so you know...there will always be something there, but, I'm okay with that because you are someone very important to me." Just that it had, you know, now been categorized and was finding its proper box to be tucked away in inside her.
