[redactable] catchall for ange

[She nods brightly, expression soft.]

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?

[dawnblushed]

[rECORD SCRATCH.

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.

[lecarre]

[!!]

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.

[dawnblushed]

[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.

[lecarre]

[oh my GOD.

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.

[dawnblushed]

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.

[lecarre]

Um... yes. I just do not want to put them to any trouble, that's all. Neither of them has done anything wrong...!

[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.

[dawnblushed]

...well, if you want to improve...

[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.

[lecarre]

[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.

[dawnblushed]

I'm glad to hear that.

[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.

[lecarre]

[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...

[dawnblushed]

I hope not. But it's better to be prepared, just in case.

[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?

[lecarre]

Oh... all right, if you say so.

[Still...]

Miss Yona, it feels like you are always looking out for me already. You are a bit like an older sister.

[dawnblushed]

Really?

[She looks absolutely delighted by that.]

That's wonderful to hear! Usually people treat me like a younger sister.

[lecarre]

Is that right? How mysterious.

[Honestly!]

You are so smart and confident and comforting... that is exactly as an older sister should be.

[dawnblushed]

[Oh, compliments... Yona likes that! Tell her more.]

You're going to make me blush, Ange.

[lecarre]

[Yona is so cute...]

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!

[dawnblushed]

Well, I hope I'll continue to be like a good older sister here!

[Yona wants to be someone that others can rely on, so this makes her really happy. She's motivated now!!]

[lecarre]

I don't believe that is something you need to try at, Miss Yona.

[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.

[dawnblushed]

I don't mind - I was hoping to hear a little bit more about you, too, Ange.

[ :) ]

What would you like to know?

[lecarre]

[:))]

Hmm, where to begin...

Oh, I know! You are around my age--are you going to school?

[dawnblushed]

I'm not...

[Well, maybe she's going to the School of Yoon. Anyway.]

But since you asked that... are you? What is it like?

[lecarre]

You aren't...? [Ange seems pretty surprised.] You carry yourself so well, I was almost certain you had been to school at least a little.

But I understand it can be quite difficult to make it there sometimes...

[Still, she nods.]

I am, though! I enjoy it quite a bit. Being surrounded by classmates and being able to live in the dorms is like a dream for someone like me.

[dawnblushed]

I had lessons at home when I was younger, but I spend most of my time traveling these days.

[...it's not untrue!]

But, that sounds really nice. Do you get along with your classmates and the people you live with?

[lecarre]

Traveling...! That sounds amazing. It is my goal to travel more once I am finished with my studies. To think that you are already traveling so much at this age...

[Amazing tbh.]

I do, for the most part. Of course, there are... always a few who seem determined to hold their status above me and others, but they are not so terrible either...! [mean girl nobles, man]

It is worth it to be able to be there at all.
