fourth strike!

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Well, so much for avoiding everyone forever.

The past few weeks, ever since her fateful encounter with Char, Asuka has been holed up in her room, venturing out as little as possible. But now she's dared to go outside, though she still seems a bit nervous. Feel free to come bother her if you don't mind her being somewhat dismissive... like that's any different from usual. ]

(( SORRY CR I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE WITH ASUKA LATELY. ;; But here she is, so open to all for taggin'. ))

...sorta. [ Hey, look. Honesty for once. ]

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Want to get something to eat then? I can't imagine you've been eating well...

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Brightening up. ] Sure, sounds good! Let's go.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Great then. I've got some pasta made up. Managed to get it edible since I had to use some freeze dried material.

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

Pasta? You're spoiling me, Decade-kun! [ Not that she minds. Linking arms with you and grinning, by the way. ]

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

[Grinning too as he links arms and leads her towards the mess.] I tend to spoil all of my friends. Or teach them life lessons.

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

Oh? Teach me something, then. [ Humming~ ]

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Sometimes... the real battles fall when you least expect it, and you will always be changed from it. [points a hand into the air.]

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Giggles. ] That's kinda lame, y'know.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Never promised simply amazing advice. Here we are. [unlinks arm to go and fix up a plate for her.]

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Waits patiently! Cheering up Asuka with food is always a good idea. She's already in a better mood. ]

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

[Places it in front of her with a fork.] Need something to drink too?

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

Don't forget some for yourself too! [ Digging in. ] Just water's fine.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Oh right. Almost forgot. [goes to get some, fills two glasses and places it down before sitting down as well.]

How is it?

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Just shrugs. ] Okay, I guess. NERV's been running me ragged lately, and --

[ She stops herself short from saying anything further, but her nervous expression says more than enough. ]

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Not everything going to plan I take it?

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

I've had days like this. Tell Dr. Decade your problems.

[Tsukasa being helpful? Well it's something.]

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

...it's Char.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Oh. Does he need a beating for being dumb or is he in one of his moods again?

[Blithely oblivious to their relationship yesssss.]

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Waving her hands. ] No, no! We're just... well, it's complicated.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Complicated? [Going to pry it out of her with more food.]

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ It's working. ] We're seeing each other. Kind of.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

[Blink. And going to spoon more pasta onto her plate.]

How's that working out? I take it it's kind of here and there?

[stupidshinji.livejournal.com]

[ Practically inhaling it. ] More or less. He's... a complicated man, to put it plainly. No matter how hard I try to get to know him, it always seems like he's hiding something from me.
