[her emotions are nowhere near as sexy and mysterious and she would like them to seem.

she had a long and difficult weekend, and is still feeling tired and drained, but she's not feeling despair or the intense anger she'd been feeling on sunday. she's determined to keep going, fueled by a mix of spite and something more positive.

also, she becomes playfully amused when she notices him.]

Are you being nosy?

[peripheries]

[Guilty as charged! But he's not inclined to lie so he shrugs and confesses to his crime.]

I was curious.

[That's just a nicer name for 'nosy'.]

[sacredpath]

You're nosy.

[what is he feeling today?]

[peripheries]

Is there really a difference?

[If there is, a child might not be interested in the difference. Kaworu is brimming with curiosity and an innocent joy. Someone who is happy just to return to a room where someone else is there instead of empty solitary space. Someone pleased to have anyone pay him mind. Someone excited to have kids his age to talk to.

And all he wants is to pursue those things for as long as he can.]

[that's actually not at all what she expected from him. she expected him to be a little nastier inside his little gremlin heart.

it's... so cute... that is her emotion.]

Possibly not, but I think nosy implies that you know you ought not to be doing something and are doing it anyway.

[peripheries]

[there is nastiness in his gremlin heart but there's little that comes from a place of malice. It's mostly a deep selfishness to take what he wants no matter what because he's never been able to take before.

(Except for Mizu who insulted his evidence investigation. Screw them!!!)

Well it's nice to feel a positive feeling.]

Hmm. Then perhaps I am nosy. Is that alright? Or are you very good at pretending you don't want to know what others are feeling.

[sacredpath]

It’s alright.

[she was mainly just teasing him. he can feel her feelings, which are nowhere as reserved or derisive as the way she acts. she does just feel a little fond of him. he’s hilarious, but also very sweet, and she can relate a bit, to growing up being molded to be something that will accomplish some higher purpose you care nothing for.]

You’ll find many people are a bit unenthused about having their feelings so on display. It tends to be nice knowing it’s possible to hide them should the need arise.

[Well, he's unsure of what to think of being considered cute. He thought that was for girls and small animals but it pleases him all the same. There's a fondness for her as well but more than that, a feeling of trust. Which he hasn't felt for an adult before this place. He settles next to her.]

I don't understand it. Everyone goes through so much trouble to hide their feelings but for what? It seems like that only causes confusion and misunderstanding.
