[ she can't even bring herself to use voice for this - just sending this message out in general is already embarassing enough, but she can't think of it by herself, so.. have some written text, Luceti. ]

So, let's say there's a person who did a lot for you, and even though you still can't really take it in you feel like you should at the very least try to do something back for them in return. Since it's only natural, and maybe you want to show you care as well or whatever. Something like that.

But all the things they did are so big combined that you can't even start to think of something that would be big enough or of equal value to give in return. So.. what should you even do in a situation like that?

... Purely hypothetical, I mean.

......

This is stupid.

HACKS THIS Okay no [Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Knock, knock at your door.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... just ask him out on a date already.

[Come on. Everyone knows hypothetical is code for 'THERE IS A BOY I LIKE'.]

HACK IT AND DIE MISTER MAEBARA [Action]

[repudiate]

[ oh god why right now, is she being found out..

but no, okay, she'll remove herself from her bed - making sure to close the journal so if it's Keiichi he won't saunter in and see it - just to walk over to the door and open it. ]

[repudiate]

It's not like that. [ because it's obviously not, okay? geez, Sokka, stop trying to see through obvious things!! ]

I just want to repay him for what he did for me, that's all.

EVEN IF HE HACKED IT HE WOULDN'T SAY A THING [Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Have a smiling Keiichi waving a bit.]

It's snowing, I'm going to make some hot cocoa and drink it at the porch. Do you want some?

SHE WOULD STILL KNOW OKAY!! also go to bed [Action]

[repudiate]

[ There might be the slightest moment where she looks awkward or hesitant, but it slips away immediately afterwards as she just gets her usual deadpan on, nodding a little. ]

Sure. I shouldn't stay out too long in the cold though, I easily catch a cold or worse. But a little while should be fine. [ yes, this means she's coming outside with you, okay. :| ]

[VOICE because he has no pen]

[markofthewise]

Right. Of course. Just like how people wear star fires in the winter because they look pretty.

[...Kinda suspicious, seeing as how he had just seen Keiichi's post. Hrmm. Ohohoho~ okayno. Regardless, Atsuro's kinda torn between teasing Ange right now and not but... DOES ANGE EVEN HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR? Maybe he should just. Give it a shot and find out. Yeah.

...god she kind of scares him. HERE GOES.] Oh? This person doesn't happen to be a guy, does it?

[ written because she has too many emotions ]

[repudiate]

So, are you going to offer actual advice or just pretend like this is some sort of romantic situation when it's nothing like that at all?

Can't a girl want to repay a guy without something more being sought behind it?

[repudiate]

[ wow, was that your death clock dropping to zero just now, Atsuro? how strange.. ]

And why exactly are you asking this question? [ if the icyness of words could be literal, the page would be frozen solid. ]

[oh. shit. Better change that um.]

It was just a joke! Don't worry about it. [UGH UGH he shouldn't have done that. Instant regret.]

[Hypothetical, eh? Very well, she'll play along.]

Hypothetically speaking, it sounds as though the other person cares for you a great deal. I'm sure they'd be pleased if they were given the same hand of friendship.

Perhaps you could start with something small, a token of gratitude if you will. Relationships are not like housing debts, after all.

[hiken_ace]

Sometimes an honest, genuine "thank you" does plenty more than a gift.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Don't think too much on it. Just do any gesture you can to show how it much it means.

Some people are the kind of selfless and giving where you could spend your whole life trying to even the score, and you never will. Sometimes, just being close and doing your best is enough.

And if this is about Christmas presents... what do they like?

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Purely hypothetical, you say?

[ then this shall be how it is for all time ]

[markofthewise]

Sure, fine, if that's what you want to claim it is. If that's the case, I don't know, make him dinner or something.

SHE CAN'T KNOW IF HE DOESN'T TELL [Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[His smile grows a bit wider.]

If going outside is too much maybe we could just sit by the window. I don't want you to get sick or anything.

[V oice]

[curiousgenius.livejournal.com]

How about reverse thinking? If, hypothetically, it was you the one who did all those things for him, what would you be expecting in return?

[Written]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

[Messy handwriting that's easily recognizable for you Ange.]

Make him his favorite dish for dinner!

written MY BODY WAS NOT READY AAAH

[repudiate]

[ wow, who's this fancy font douchebag ]

There's no way something like that could be enough, right? Just saying 'thank you' is something anymore could do, and it barely requires any effort at all.

[Written; filtered]

[repudiate]

No, I'd like to hear all about it now, actually.

[ Yes, she's turning this around to troll him instead, go figure. You've met with a terrible end, haven't you.. ]

Go ahead, please tell me about it, I'm asking it from you.

[written]

[repudiate]

[ thank you, Ange is already embarassed enough as-is.. ]

Yes, I know. This hypothetical person cares a lot for me, they've already admitted that much. [ this is still obviously completely hypothetical. ]

The problem is.. well, of course I would care a lot for them in return, I'd just not be sure how to show it, I guess.

[written]

[repudiate]

I already told them that much.

... Hypothetically, yes. [ wow, Ange, so subtle. ]

I just don't feel like it would be enough. Like it wouldn't be enough to show that I care in return too.

[ written ]

[repudiate]

Yeah, I get the feeling he's exactly that type of person, but I would still feel horrible for not at least trying to match his kindness. What if he thinks I don't care at all in return? [ that's what you get for being tsundere, Ange. ]

And it wasn't necessarily about Christmas presents, although I haven't thought up that part yet either. I don't know what they like though, they seem to like a lot of things.
