[freezerburned]

do you need anything? books or candy or- i dont know anything???

i want to make this right

[saving_sound]

It wasnt your fault so you dont have to do anything

[She seems pretty adamant about it. No matter what, she just... can't come to accept that this was because of him.]

[freezerburned]

im still going to- thats dumb to not blame me. im still going to make up for it.

[saving_sound]

But it wasnt you

[freezerburned]

as a friend then

let me do something nice for you because 'someone else' murdered you

[saving_sound]

[Murdered...]

But i cant think of anything

[And it's true. It's hard to think about anything happy when you've just found out someone close to you was the very one who was forced to kill you.]

[freezerburned]

well let me know if you do

how is the hamster?

[saving_sound]

Ok

The hamsters ok

[freezerburned]

good

the pet store is closed indefinitely but ill grab you a bunch of food and stuff ok? so you dont have to restock

[saving_sound]

Its ok if you do that??

[freezerburned]

well like i said the store is gonna be closed for awhile if it ever opens again. better than just letting it sit there

[saving_sound]

If your sure i probly need more food now

[freezerburned]

yeah...

if you dont wanna see me i can get someone else to drop it off or something

[saving_sound]

No its ok you can come

[...She's a little scared, to be honest. But she doesn't want Isaac to realize that.]

[freezerburned]

alright

ill be there in like an hour ok?

[saving_sound]

Ok ill wait here

[freezerburned]

[And isn't this familiar? Isaac knocks on her door an hour or so later, looking sheepishly toward the ground.

There are bags at his feet with the hamster food, but there's also a handful of long-stemmed flowers he's unsubtly trying to hide behind his back as he waits for her to answer the door.]

[saving_sound]

[She actually dozed off for a little there, but she does come hurrying to the door when she hears it.

She opens it just a crack at first, but more so once she's seen who it is.]

Ah... Isaac-san. You made it...

[freezerburned]

Yeah. Uh.

[He rubs at the back of his head before procuring the flowers. Sorry-I-murdered-you flowers? Hope you feel better now that you're back from the dead? Something like that.]

Here- these are for you. [And they're not the prettiest, or the most in bloom, but he tried at least. They're not terrible to look at.]

[saving_sound]

[Her eyes widen and she carefully, almost disbelievingly holds her hands out for the flowers.]

A-ah... Thank you! You really didn't have to...!

[She thought it was just going to be hamster food! But she does seem to be a little happier, even if she's still mostly surprised.]

[freezerburned]

Well, you know.

[He flushes a little, but he's glad that she at least seems pleased with it. Isaac hands over the flowers a moment later, before leaning down to heft up the bags of food.]

Thought it was appropriate. Where do you want the food?

[saving_sound]

By the desk should be just fine. Ah... I should probably get water for these, huh?

[She steps aside to let him in first, however. Sure enough, her hamster is hanging out in its cage on her desk, although it's not the only critter around - a hummingbird sits in its own cage in the other corner of the room, and a twin-tailed squirrel-like creature is curled up around her Cindaquil as they both nap.]

[freezerburned]

It might make them live longer, yeah.

[Isaac sets the bags over next to the desk, glancing around a little at the assortment of animals. He can't help but to smile, just a little.]

You're running a little pet store yourself, here.

[saving_sound]

Oh, not really-! I don't want to sell them or anything...

[Hibiki, that's not what he meant.]

[freezerburned]

[That makes him smile, and he glances back at her.]

I meant that you have a lot of them. I take it you're an animal person?
