Return

ms-lumina:

Noticing how he changed at her words she covered her mouth and started giggling. “Caught you off guard there didn’t I?” She asked and she calmed down the laughing while her expression went back to normal.  ”But thanks.. it means a lot when you to say that. Really,” she said with a smile in the corner of her mouth.

While he spoke about it being someone from his family Nene only had her hands folded behind her back, tilting her head to the side while looking at him. “If it’s family business then I can understand.” She looked bluntly to her right, making sure he didn’t see her frowning. All she wanted to was to dig further into the matter, but it really looked like he didn’t want to share such delicate information.

“I won’t settle with a nutshell.” She gazed at nothing in particular and then back at him with a smirk. “I’ve got all day.. now spill it.” She had that satisfied/ mischievous type of smirk. He probably wanted her to drop it, but she rarely let unknown info that sparked her mind go.

He still didn’t dare look her way, and a small grunt was the only sign that he acknowledged her expression of gratitude. The passive, indifferent look on his face clearly showed he had no intention of saying any more of what was on his mind, yet she still didn’t seem to falter at all. Couldn’t she tell when not to press an issue any further? Didn’t she get the message?

No, he was pretty sure she got his message alright. She just chose to disregard it. And then again, perhaps he couldn’t blame her for her curiosity. After all, it had been a while since he’d suddenly returned to Japan, and surely this time Nene thought it was her chance to speak up,  unlike the last time he pulled off his disappearing act during the battle against Quartzmon where they had barely enough time for chit-chat, let alone arriving at the fight scene. That was what he assumed of her, at least.

Ultimately, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh through his nose, then chanced a glance at her. It was clear she wasn’t gonna buy any sort of excuses. But he was just as stubborn as she was, if not more. “Listen, I’d love to talk to you about those matters, since you look like you’re just dying to know about them,” sarcastic tone still intact, he glanced away from her, “But trust me, there isn’t a lot to say about them. It’s not like someone who’s not even related to that issue would care anyway.” Although that wasn’t the real issue that plagued his mind, actually. But he’d rather keep this conversation in this direction rather than that.
