[Ange was absolutely searching for Yona; a good night's sleep has settled the worst of her nerves from the looks of things, so she's in pretty good spirits as she wanders in.]
Miss Yona!
[Brightening further!]
You sound a little bit better today--that is such a relief to hear.
I am so glad to hear that... please be sure to continue to rest your poor throat and hands.
[As for that question--sorry Yona.]
Mm, yes, I did! I'm quite lucky, I think... I was very uncertain when I realized we were to have roommates, especially co-ed roommates, but Mister Won has been a perfect gentleman.
Okay, no, it isn't quite so dramatic as that, but Yona's grip on her mug tightens almost painfully when she hears Ange say "Mister Won". She fights valiantly to keep her expression neutral (and only really succeeds at making her face go carefully blank).
Hm.]
That does sound lucky.
[A pause, and then -]
I was lucky, too. My roommate, Blanca, is very kind... he even made tea for me when he heard how my voice sounded.
[me: cool, yona will steal soo-won's phs and swap it with hers so he can't get into ange's room also me: oh god are we engaging in room shenanigans for a second time]
...they might understand if we asked one of them to switch with us. [Although, she doesn't really feel all that uncomfortable sharing a room with Blanca, but that's another matter entirely. If Ange's uncomfortable, maybe they can do something about it.] That is, if they get along with each other.
Blanca seems like a considerate person, and I'm sure...
[She pauses.]
...I'm sure Won wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable. It's worth trying, if you would prefer it. But I'm glad to spend time with you like this, too, if you don't want to ask them about switching.
[Yona can understand that, at least. So. A compromise might be in order.]
Why don't you give it a little time? We can leave things as they are for now, but if something happens, or if after a little time you just feel like you'd be more comfortable somewhere else, you can come stay with me.
[This seems like an incredibly fair compromise. Also, it seems like Yona helping Ange the whole time again, but you know? Ange will just have to find a way to repay her at some point, it's fine...!!]
Oh... yes, all right! That sounds like a very good idea.
Thank you, Miss Yona! Even just knowing I have the option is somehow very comforting. I suppose it is the lack of restrictions.
[That... is very serious, yeah. Ange blinks at her, tilting her head.]
... All right. I understand.
But... do you think something that serious will happen? I was worried at first, admittedly, but now things still seem so calm, and everyone has been so kind so far...
It is nothing that is not true... that is simply how I see things. I was an older sister as well, so I believe I should know a good older sister when I see one!

w0, saturday
Her voice is still a little raspy, but not as bad as the day before when she speaks up and raises a hand in a wave.]
Ange, hello!
no subject
Miss Yona!
[Brightening further!]
You sound a little bit better today--that is such a relief to hear.
no subject
[So far, so good! It'll still take a little time, but maybe if she's lucky she'll be able to yell at people when trial rolls around.]
Did you sleep okay last night?
no subject
I am so glad to hear that... please be sure to continue to rest your poor throat and hands.
[As for that question--sorry Yona.]
Mm, yes, I did! I'm quite lucky, I think... I was very uncertain when I realized we were to have roommates, especially co-ed roommates, but Mister Won has been a perfect gentleman.
Did you sleep all right yourself?
no subject
Okay, no, it isn't quite so dramatic as that, but Yona's grip on her mug tightens almost painfully when she hears Ange say "Mister Won". She fights valiantly to keep her expression neutral (and only really succeeds at making her face go carefully blank).
Hm.]
That does sound lucky.
[A pause, and then -]
I was lucky, too. My roommate, Blanca, is very kind... he even made tea for me when he heard how my voice sounded.
no subject
Oh, yes. I met Mister Blanca as well. He does seem very kind and gentle.
[.... still...]
Even so, I wish we could room together instead. I would be far more comfortable rooming with you, Miss Yona.
no subject
also me: oh god are we engaging in room shenanigans for a second time]
...they might understand if we asked one of them to switch with us. [Although, she doesn't really feel all that uncomfortable sharing a room with Blanca, but that's another matter entirely. If Ange's uncomfortable, maybe they can do something about it.] That is, if they get along with each other.
no subject
It's already time for rooming shenanigans]
Ah... do you really think so? I do not want to put either of them to any trouble, it is just... I do feel more comfortable with you, Miss Yona.
But being able to speak with you like this also helps.
no subject
[She pauses.]
...I'm sure Won wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable. It's worth trying, if you would prefer it. But I'm glad to spend time with you like this, too, if you don't want to ask them about switching.
no subject
[She sighs, rubbing at the back of her head.]
I... need to improve, regardless. At, um, handling things I am not used to from back home, here.
no subject
[Yona can understand that, at least. So. A compromise might be in order.]
Why don't you give it a little time? We can leave things as they are for now, but if something happens, or if after a little time you just feel like you'd be more comfortable somewhere else, you can come stay with me.
no subject
Oh... yes, all right! That sounds like a very good idea.
Thank you, Miss Yona! Even just knowing I have the option is somehow very comforting. I suppose it is the lack of restrictions.
no subject
[Having an out is comforting - Yona knows that well.]
...but, I'm serious, okay? If anything happens, or you ever feel unsafe, I'll help you. So let me know right away.
no subject
... All right. I understand.
But... do you think something that serious will happen? I was worried at first, admittedly, but now things still seem so calm, and everyone has been so kind so far...
no subject
[Yona manages a smile.]
I just don't want you to feel like you would be bothering me or anything, if something does happen, okay?
no subject
[Still...]
Miss Yona, it feels like you are always looking out for me already. You are a bit like an older sister.
no subject
[She looks absolutely delighted by that.]
That's wonderful to hear! Usually people treat me like a younger sister.
no subject
[Honestly!]
You are so smart and confident and comforting... that is exactly as an older sister should be.
no subject
You're going to make me blush, Ange.
no subject
It is nothing that is not true... that is simply how I see things. I was an older sister as well, so I believe I should know a good older sister when I see one!
no subject
[Yona wants to be someone that others can rely on, so this makes her really happy. She's motivated now!!]
no subject
[Regardless...!]
Though now that your throat does not seem so bad, I was wondering if you would mind telling me a bit more about yourself.
no subject
[ :) ]
What would you like to know?
no subject
Hmm, where to begin...
Oh, I know! You are around my age--are you going to school?
no subject
[Well, maybe she's going to the School of Yoon. Anyway.]
But since you asked that... are you? What is it like?
