( it's not so hard to live with people who don't understand you, but she has vastly preferred the dormitory to her own home.

so even if she's mad at yodaka, even if she's hurt, she won't make things awkward. she'll smile and act like they're perfectly good friends, especially in front of his brother, because he was nice enough to offer her a place to stay. he could have just kept it to him and yodaka--no one would blame him, and she expected that, too--but he still offered.

all that she's done for them? so far, all she's done is make at least one of them upset...

she shakes her head again, but it's still not at him. what is for him, though, is her sigh and gesture for him to follow her. it'll be quiet while they keep on to the nearest market, but eventually, arashi will pipe up: )

Sorry for blowing up at you, Yodaka-chan. ( and she sounds like she means it, because she does. she, of all people, doesn't want to be hated... her voice is still a little strained, her posture tense, but she's making an effort, like always, to smooth things over, to make it all okay again. passable, at least. ) I'm not a very good senior, am I? Haha...

( another pause, and: )

What were you drawing? You don't actually have to tell me, but like, I'm curious.
