[When someone who loves working hard!!! tells you to relax, it's really actually seriously.
The problem is, because he works so hard, Vietnam's realised that the only thing she's seen him do is read.]
If there is anything you need, please tell me. I do realise this house is furnished more comfortably for myself and Chiyo, we still need to get to things for you. It will help you too, no? [Like...relaxing. Or working. Heck all the dvd's are just the girls', not a single one is a concert or anything for Tokiya's research purpose.]
[ It's partially because the things Tokiya needs for training generally tend to be in the Conservatory. He has little other belongings of his own other than his music player and a handful of books. ]
I will.
[ Really, he has little needs. But he appreciates the sentiment. ]
Good. [If she was the type to sparkle, she would. Remember when he used to say he didn't need anything. Instead now he says that he will tell her if need be. IMPROVEMENT.]
I'll go put your old outfit away, is there anything else you want me to do, or need of me?
She moves over to pick up the box that she had to keep away from sight, and nods.]
You're welcome. Even though I didn't help much at all. [She means by her request, since all that did was dredge up bad reminders, though tackling such problems would make him stronger.]
He's not allowed to be alone though? He'll hurt himself? But he's allowed a small window as she goes to pack his old uniform somewhere in her room. It seems a shame to keep it in a box when it's so well made, but what can she do.]
While she's gone, he'll be reading the note that was tucked into the CD case. When she come back, he'll just... casually... put it back again. Really, it isn't important. That's why he's not jamming it back in on sight of her.
[it's okay she understands the language of tsun...
She's brought back some tea too, taking a detour (or just the long route) after she put away his things. They went through some really heavy topics, and she did almost yell at him, so she'd want him to relax a bit too.
But he's taken out that note again, before putting it back in. It's important, she can tell, as she places down his cup.]
Here it is hot. You should move the CD and the note away just in case. [See.]
[She might be pretty butch but she's not a blockhead!!! It's how she can be a delicate flower, it takes effort.]
You're welcome. [So the CD is now on his lap. He's protecting it, even though she hopes the tea won't hurt him anyway.
She waits for him to drink some of it before--] Are you feeling better? I am sorry I was a little pushy before as well. I don't believe I said it before.
[TOKIYA...THAT'S WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO. DON'T BE SURPRISED??? Or at least that's what she thinks, anyway.
She could go now, though another part of her tells her she shouldn't leave him alone, seeing how he was after she came back in. But he's still in the same house, so it's not like she'll be far away.]
[ Most people don't usually listen to him for reasons he sort of understands, but can't be bothered to change. The fact that she listens despite that is notable. ]
Please do.
[ He still needs time to sort his own thoughts out. ]

No, this is enough.
[ If anything, she's left him with plenty of things to think about. ]
... thank you.

So he just nods, flipping the CD over unconsciously in his hand. If she doesn't have more to say, he'll be leaving to get some quiet for himself. ]

So he just goes on pretending and takes the cup. ]
Thank you.
[ Putting the CD on his lap now that he's sat down. ]

She waits for him to drink some of it before--] Are you feeling better? I am sorry I was a little pushy before as well. I don't believe I said it before.
no subject
I am.
[ At least he thinks he is. It feels carthatic being finally able to talk about it. He'll have to deal with the consequences later, but for now... ]
It's fine.
[ At least he didn't explode (yet). ]
no subject
That's good. [She sighs in relief, because the last thing she wanted to was to accidentally make things worse.
And she looks pretty happy that he's forgiven her.]
I am glad.
no subject
Hm.
[ Really, he's out of any remaining capacity for small talk. ]
no subject
She could go now, though another part of her tells her she shouldn't leave him alone, seeing how he was after she came back in. But he's still in the same house, so it's not like she'll be far away.]
Should I leave you to it?
no subject
Please do.
[ He still needs time to sort his own thoughts out. ]
no subject
If you need me, just call out. I will come.
[And she turns to leave, giving him some time to himself, while she gets to go watch some TV DRAMAAAASSS.]
no subject
So he just nods and goes back to being absorbed in his own thoughts. ]
