[ It's the morning of the fourteenth. As casual as Reika wants to be, she's still a little nervous. After all that's happened in Woodhurst, it hardly seems like the right time - but she won't have an opportunity for another year, and she's not sure if she can wait that long. ]
[ She's made breakfast for both of them and Sakura, but this is something better done when the girl's still asleep. She waits until he's in the room before picking up a small box from the counter and holding it out to him with both hands. It's a plain box with a ribbon around it. Inside are six pieces of dark chocolate. She's kept the box carefully hidden until it was ready to be given. ]
[ Now she's unsure. She had assumed he understood what the gesture implicitly meant, but apparently... not really. Reluctantly she lets go, though she still cant look straight at him yet.
What does she say? She doesn't know yet, so she's silent for a while. ]
Instead of replying she moves to hug him, burying her face in his shirt so he doesn't see her cry. It's all very sudden, the way her vision blurs, so sudden that her first instinct is to hide it before her reputation is compromised - but then she realizes what exactly she has done, and it probably just worsens the problem.
Not that it's for immediate consideration, though. He's warm and smells nice; it takes up most of her focus. ]
