[ At the mention of a festival, Cloud has to bite his tongue. Because while he's settled in a bit better when it came to the more...affectionate sways of this world, and he didn't regret a single thing of what happened, especially with the girl on the other end of the magicomm, ]
We'll check it out.
[ He hopes he can at least still be Cloud, the way he wants to be with her. ]
He wants to go to a festival together! At first, Ayaka's not quite sure how to react, because her heart is already racing a mile a minute. It's not that she would have said no if he asked. If anything, she would have initiated to ask him if the time came!
Now? She's just excited. And she hopes the festival to come, if any, would be a very fun one where she can share good memories with a friend. ]
I would like that very much.
[ For now, though? ]
Ah... I should wash the dishes and head back to my room. I'd been here in the dining area since you called.
[ That's when it hits him that, yeah. While it's not VERY late? He's still called her and held her up when he'd meant to start via texts. ...even if he was starting to feel like he's glad he did. ]
Oh. Right, you do that. I'll letcha go.
[ There's no disappointment in his voice in saying that either. If anything, he's slightly embarrassed that he kept her. ...oh well. He'll just shrug over it after. ]
I will still be awake for a while as I want to read some more chapters in my book. If you'd like to send a message when you've retired to bed, I will be able to respond quickly.
[ Just saying! Because she actually enjoys talking to him like this, or through text messages. This phone call has been nice, too, even though she wishes Cloud wasn't feeling weird about the events of tonight.
She lets out a soft laugh after saying that, finding some joy in sharing something about her. ]
Have a good evening, Cloud. I'm... very thankful we had this, ah, call.
Wha... [ It's faint, but it almost sounds like he was about to say "What—", to ask her something before he realizes that, he'd be the one keeping her again. Instead, her gentle laugh over the magicomm lifts him a little bit again. ]
Ah, you too, Ayaka. Thanks.
[ He was going to ask what book she was reading. ]
Cya.
[ With that, he hangs up for the night, his shoulders slumping slightly with relief. ]
[ He's not quite retiring to bed, but it comes some time after he's settled into his apartment, sitting at the table as he hits send. ]
Thank you, Ayaka. [ He hesitates, backspacing and typing and backspacing and typing before this time, he doesn't mess up or ring her, ] I'll listen if you ever need it too.
I know you will. You have always been so kind to me.
[ It actually takes some time for Ayaka to send that message because she wonders if there's anything more she can do for him. She can be very good with her words, but... she thinks she's made her point clear earlier. She will be there for him if he needs someone to listen to him. ]
