Um.. I guess I've been okay? Nothing different from the usual at least, hehe. [ and this, too, sounds genuine - not her pretending to be strong or anything. ]

I hope you've been okay too, Yoh-san?

[mikanphones]

You know what they say, "known devil is better than unknown angel". So nothing different from the usual is something definitively good, specially in this place.

[Yoh laughs calmly before he hums in agreement.]

I've been fine. No new accidental fires or anything. I think it's possible to officially say that my house is a safe place now.

[Maybe he's being too subtle, but it doesn't matter.]

[happyends]

[ Yup, definitely too subtle. But she seems glad all the same.. ]

Hehe, please don't get any more accidental fires, I'd get much too worried about you.

[mikanphones]

I'll do my best to avoid them. It wasn't that bad that time as I'm alone in the house and no other buildings were in danger, but it's definitively not something I would like to repeat.

[Well, he expected that. Fortunately he has no problems with being blunt at times. Specially with Madoka, this girl needs a lot of bluntness.]

So, Madoka, have you considered it?

[happyends]

[ .... E.. h..?

She doesn't even realise what he's refering to right now. Sure, she does remember his offer, but since it wasn't brought up for a while she doesn't immediately think of it when she hears this. ]

Considered.. um, what exactly?

[mikanphones]

My offer, though maybe it's still a bit too soon? We're just barely past the middle of the New Feather season, people could still show up.

[happyends]

.. Ah, that?! [ she's mostly so surprised since she didn't realise until now, really.. ]

N-no, it's not too soon, it's just.. um, I guess I wasn't thinking of it since you didn't bring it up again earlier!

[mikanphones]

The New Feather cycle had barely started, it wouldn't have been fair to bring that up before anyone had the chance to arrive here. Would you have preferred if I brought it up earlier?

[happyends]

No, bringing it up now is fine, it's just.. um.. [ .. it's just.. what, Madoka? she just ends up trailing off and shaking her head. ]

.. It's okay. I.. like your request, Yoh-san. I wouldn't mind living with you at all, if it wouldn't be a bother on you.

[mikanphones]

I wouldn't have made the offer if I thought you could be a bother to me.

[He's fine being alone, but that doesn't mean he has to be alone if he finds someone he wouldn't mind around. Madoka already knows about his powers a bit anyway and he knows she's a good kid. Worst that could happen is that Anna's oni servants would still find a way to Luceti and punish him. Or even Anna herself... Which, as painful as it would be, would be pretty awesome as well.]

[happyends]

Then I'll move in with you! [ She likes the idea too, either way. She's been living with people here for so long - Mami, Homura, Yui.. - that being alone now.. it somewhat stings, honestly. And Yoh's nice, right? And she's lived with him before, thanks to that one experiment.. ]

.. When would be a good time for that?

[mikanphones]

Any time is good for me, just give me a word and I'll go and help you pack and bring your things here.

[happyends]

Um.. how about around the start of October? Then I can tell my friends in time that I'm going to move and take care of some last things.. You'll be fine until then, right?

[mikanphones]

[He laughs at that.]

I'm sure I'll be fine until then. will you be fine?

[happyends]

Ah, of course! [ she quickly nods as if to reassure him, even if it ends up being more to herself than anything else.. ]

I'll try my very best until then, I promise!

[mikanphones]

[He smiles a bit at her last part. Does she realize that she makes it sound as if being fine takes some effort from her? Probably not, but now isn't the time to poke at that garden again.]

Just don't stress yourself. Which means we probably should go to sleep already, I've kept you up enough already and it's not good to mess with sleep schedules.

[happyends]

Hmm, I'll make sure to sleep well until then too.. [ ... ] I guess I'll talk to you again later then, right, Yoh-san..?
