a rainy day - 10th

[ Today is supposed to be nice and sunny, and it is on most places throughout the island. Everywhere except the area immediately above Lucia, apparently. Wherever she walks, rain clouds follow up above, and there's a light drizzle that sprinkles down towards her. She doesn't have an umbrella. She just seems to be zoned out, walking to her destination: The library.

She's also trying to look at who's in the area, so as to not get them caught up in the drizzling. She'll make an attempt to swerve out of the way of anyone who's passing by, which looks rather odd. Hm. ]

a teenager - 11th

[ There's a girl, somewhere between 15 and 16 years old, with long red hair roaming around. There are two people who currently fit this description, but the glasses give her away – this is not Diluc, this is Lucia. She's currently sitting under a tree in the shade, somewhere near town, pressing buttons on her phone. There's a disgruntled look on her face. Seems like she can't get something to work.

She ends up looking pretty huffy before she shoves her phone back into her pocket. Then, she rises to her feet and starts speed walking towards the shops. Where is she going...? ]

farming - throughout the month

[ Anyone who's passing by the Lucia-Gentaro forest farm may catch her outside at any given point during the day. She's getting to work on her farm, and there appears to be a small assortment of mushrooms growing! How nice. There's also a small patch of flowers that are also in the process of growing. Seems like things are going decently.

There's also a little calico cat that's roaming around outside, circling around Lucia at times. The cat will let out a little "meow" if she spots a visitor, and trot up to the newcomer. This will alert Lucia, and she'll turn to whoever's at her farm and stand up rather quickly. ]

Hello... Do you need something?

Comments

[associative]

[ Ah.

That's the question, isn't it? ]

...I'm still figuring that out. [ Gaku pauses, the first sign of hesitation Lucia has seen from him. ] I'm interested in you and someone else. I don't want to lead anyone on, so I'm trying to make up my mind.

[irresponsibly]

[ ...

........ ]

Me? You're interested in me?! Really?!

[associative]

[ Lucia.......... ]

Yes.

[ And once again, he admits it easily. ]

I'm trying to sort out my feelings right now, though, before I decide to pursue someone fully.

[irresponsibly]

I see...

[ HELP??? ]

Who's the other person?

[associative]

...Ellis.

[ He sighs, because he knows just how awful it is that he's interested in Ellis. ]

[irresponsibly]

[ She has no idea, so!! ]

You know, I've asked you so many questions... You should ask me some, too?

[associative]

Sure. Who have you been on dates with?

[ That's an easy one, right? ]

[irresponsibly]

You, Gentaro...and maybe Noe. I don't know if that was a date or not.

[ It is a mystery. ]

[associative]

He's extremely earnest, so if you think it was a date, it probably was.

[ That's the sort of impression Noe gives him, at least. ]

[irresponsibly]

...Maybe.

[ She'll think about that later. ]

Anything else?

[associative]

[ Hmmmm... what does he want to ask? Now is the prime opportunity, isn't it? ]

Favorite animal?

[irresponsibly]

Rabbits.

[ Easily. ]

I just think they're cute.

[associative]

Yeah, they are pretty cute.

[ He smiles. ]

I think I like cats the most now, though.

[irresponsibly]

Cats are definitely very cute.

[ Except hers, which is a bit brat...

She glances away suddenly and turns a little pink. ]

[associative]

[ He raises his eyebrows. ]

What is it?

[irresponsibly]

...I just can't believe you're interested in me. I know we've move past that conversation, but it's...it's really surprising.

[ Earlier was pretty rough, and she's still not fully recovered from it, but at least she's not apologizing or looking like she's about to run away anymore? ]

In a good way, I mean.

[associative]

Because I'm an idol?

[ Or is it just her insecurities in general? He refrains from asking that, however. ]

[irresponsibly]

No.

[ ... ]

Because...it's you, Gaku.

[associative]

...

[ Well, he is pretty hot, so he thinks he gets it. ]

Oh. I see.

[irresponsibly]

Yes. Even though you like someone else, you've been really kind. And I like spending time with you. And you give really nice hugs, and make really good soba.

[ She's rambling.......but she makes no mention of his looks whatsoever. ]

So...maybe I should be mad about earlier, but I can't be, even if I wanted to be upset. It means a lot to me that you're even giving me the time of day.

[associative]

[ Oh. She didn't mention his looks. Huh. ]

And it means a lot to me that you're understanding. I know it's a weird position to be put into, and I'm still trying to sort everything out.

[irresponsibly]

It's fine. I just want you to be happy.

[ And it's not like she'll be super devastated if he goes with Ellis, at this point. She can deal with it, for a number of reasons she doesn't want to think about. ]

And like you said before, we'll always be friends. I don't take that stuff lightly.

[associative]

I'm serious about it too. You're my friend, first and foremost.

[ And he'd like to spend just as much time with her should things end up that way too. ]

[irresponsibly]

Yes, of course.

[ And she's genuinely happy about that. ]

Anyway...more questions?

[associative]

What's your favorite color?

[ A very simple question, he thinks! ]
