I grew the herbs myself...

That makes me pleased. [Why is it that he only feels happiness when he's with her? ]

[p66]

It's really nice.

[ She's happy for him too. Plants let him focus, it's a good thing. ]

You should do this more.

[viscontree]

I will try.

[He quietly eats his meal while averting eye contact. Julius isn't much of a talker when there's a plate in front of him.]

[p66]

[ They're quiet when they eat, which is normal for them. Reika takes her meal quickly but neatly. ]

Thank you for the food.

[ It's good despite how simple it is. ]

[viscontree]

There's dessert.

[He hands her a bowl of biscuits. ]

I know you like sweets.

[p66]

Oh!

[ She takes one. It's crunchy but sweet. ]

What are these?

[viscontree]

Biscotti. It's Italian food. That's what I know so...

Sorry, I'll try to learn more Japanese foods. [He's always finding some reason to put himself down. ]

[p66]

No, no, it's okay! I like Italian food too.

[ She looks equally apologetic and amused. ]

[viscontree]

Do you like it when I hug you too?

[He's going to snuggle up against her.]

[p66]

[ Reika squeaks a little at the sudden contact, but doesn't shy away from it. ]

I do.

[ She buries her face in his shirt so he won't see her face. ]

[viscontree]

Stay with me, Reika.

I don't need anyone else but you.

[He sighs in relief because she didn't reject him. ]

[p66]

I will.

[ She leans against him, letting the familiar warmth of his body seep through her. ]

[viscontree]

[He says nothing, just accepting her affection. Julius is content like this.

She supports him more than he supports her. Just for once he wanted to do something in return.]

[p66]

[ It's nice being like this. They're peaceful, and for the moment they can forget about what's happening outside.

But they still have to do dishes. Maybe later... ]
