[Maron had been in Luceti for a long while now. For that long while, she had gotten the chance to experience things she'd never imagine at home, mainly the weird stuff that the Malnosso threw at people. She had formed some nice friendships, had a job working to keep her mind from missing Momokuri at Seventh Heaven, and was still keeping her mask on "happy."

However one thing had always been bothering her, even before she was brought to Luceti. It was something that, despite her own beliefs, defended to Masaomi around Christmas, and most recently, that speed dating thing. Sure, she had been there, with the mask on yet again, but what it was designed for...

People had been looking for friendships, people to date, people to love. That love thing was what had weighed heavily on her mind; it always had, though she was good at squashing the though, pushing it down because it wasn't real. It couldn't be. But why would people seek it out, why would there be people looking for it here of all places? Where someone they care about could be taken from them at any moment, seemingly sent home by the Malnosso (or some glitch that they'd overlooked for how long now?) The idea honestly baffled Maron, not one for too many close connections, save for two people over the years: Fin and Miyako.

Because of this curiosity, this need to know why people sought out something so elusive, something that she didn't believe to even exist--

She decides to ask. However, people might think it weird that someone doesn't know what the emotion of love is, or doesn't believe it exists depending on the person. So, she throws part of her bedsheet over the camera, effectively blocking out who is writing, and definitely makes sure the microphone is off-- it'll definitely be staying there. Her handwriting is nondescript (at least she tries to make it so) as to not give her identity away. Anyone can hazard a guess, though she'll have to be pretty damn comfortable to reveal herself to someone.]

What is your definition of 'love'? What do you believe it is, and why is it important to you?

[Gonna use that pillow to do what kids do: if I can't see you, you can't see me.

At least see how red her face is getting.]

['See, at least you're not immune to being embarrassed.

...Look, if you can do it, so can I.'

He rolls his eyes a little, out of a desire to keep things at least somewhat normal, or to pretend that it's all standard operating practice, anyway. After a minute or two, he adds:]

I think you have to press harder if you're going to smother yourself.

[Kyon why would you do that

Because that's what she's going to do after she peers at him over the top of the pillow, eyes slightly narrowed. That was pretty much a dare she's going to take him up on. Embarrassed or not, now she's just awkward.

~~But the question is, how much more awkward will it get?~~]

['I wasn't trying to make it that much more awkward...

I don't know what I was trying to get at though, to be honest! Don't I? This probably isn't a good moment to enter a huge phase of introspection, though. Well, let's not think about it! The fact is that... I can't tell what she's thinking. Maybe she just wishes I didn't say that. Probably... Ahem.']

R-Right, so how have you been lately anyway?

[Ok ok that gets a pillow lowered from her face some.]

Frustrated about that love stuff, maaaaybe a little over the fact that you figured it was probably me. But I guess that wasn't your fault. All right other than that. I've been working over at Seventh Heaven so I don't get too bored while I'm here. I do a lot over there, actually! [There's an actual smile that appears, as small as it might be. It's almost a hell of a lot more genuine than it normally would be.] It's a little like a part time job, so it's fun and some new territory for me. What about you?

Well, I guess you could say it's my fault for just being too brilliant.

[ he laughs a little. ]

Seventh Heaven, huh? I haven't stopped by there in a while. Not as many people to go eat with recently, maybe? Or dinners. You know, the longer I stick around, the harder it is to feel like meeting New Feathers is a new thing. It's like it's always the same drill. But people keep disappearing, so...

[ He shrugs. ]

I'm sure out of some of the people who have stuck around you could find someone to go grab a bite to eat, and well... I can't blame the New Feathers, they're the lucky ones that get to leave this place.

[She's quiet for a moment.]

I could always continue teaching you how to do rhythmic gymnastics!

[SHE KIDS, but it was worth saying for his reaction.]

...T-That's kind of you, Maron-chan. Maybe not yet... I'm not sure I can handle it just yet.

[ he shrugs. ]

We're not really cheering anyone up by being glad to leave, huh? Well, maybe you and I should just get dinner more often.

[Ohohoho that was half of the reaction she was hoping for, but it was good enough! It was also enough to make her smile!

...which quickly turned from just smiling to smiling and really red cheeks.]

Wait, what?
