[heritrix]

[After a little bit, she notices how intently he's watching her and:]

What? Is there something on my back?

[She doesn't think that's it at all (or at least hopes not, aha...), but it's an out for him.]

[generalflirt]

You grew wings.

[ It's the first thing he thought of, sue him. ]

1/2

[heritrix]

[...Okay, that was smooth.]

[heritrix]

[She shakes her head, putting a notebook away into her nightstand.]

Pass. I couldn't pull them off as stunningly as that bird lady.

[Plus from the way they met, she thinks wings would hurt a lot.]

[generalflirt]

You mean Dove-chan?

[ Her big wings are still unsettling to him, he can't lie. Reflex still has him feeling weird about it ] I don't know, if you had cute little ... hmm. Green ones, maybe?

[heritrix]

Green is definitely not my color.

[generalflirt]

How abut blue then! To match your eyes?

[ . . . He shouldn't admit to her he's often imagined what color wings are under everyone's shirts, only to remember that there are no wings there. He wonders when he'll move past that. If he ever will ]

[heritrix]

Mm... Maybe. If it were just an accent. But if we went that way, wouldn't black be better.

[All of her skirts are black, and of course her stockings.]

[generalflirt]

You'd think, but I know a lot of people with ones that match their eyes.

[ His didn't, of course, but still. ]

[heritrix]

[She'd wondered if he'd been thinking about that last place he'd been. Feeling a bit friendly (and not woozy, of course not), she comes to sit by him on his bed.]

What color were yours?

[Also hi little Julia. Rin smiles at the baby Kangaskhan and reaches over to give her a pat on the head.]

[generalflirt]

[ . . . Man, this'll never not be a little bit embarrassing at least. Still, she was being sincere, so he can at least answer: ]

Pink. A very bright pink, as you could say my soul was.

[ Not really, but it sounds hammy enough to work. So he says it, though his cheeks do color a bit. Julia does lean into that though, scooting closer to Rin, and then making to climb up onto the bed to get between them. The little purpleish girl coos a bit to be touched. ]

[heritrix]

[She's a total sweetheart, and Rin can admit to having a soft spot for her. But to Masaomi, she can't help but laugh.]

[generalflirt]

[ Ugh. ] One of my friends had silver, same as his eyes! And Shikamaru's were dark like his hair! I never said I was the conventional one!

[ Huff!

Julia looks confused about why they're laughing, but also nuzzles in, now she made it up ]

[heritrix]

No, no! I can picture it. I think it suits you.

[generalflirt]

[ He's not sure if that's a compliment or not... ]

That other Rin's were blue.

[heritrix]

The one in the kitchen? Was he there with you?

[generalflirt]

Yeah, though in Luceti he was "the one in the diner."

[ ... Come to think of it, he'd not really told anyone he recognized some people here, did he? ]

[heritrix]

I didn't know you two knew each other...

[Yeah, neither that nor the obvious that they're not always the "same".]

[generalflirt]

Huh...? No, not really. I only met "this" Rin-kun we have here a few times, and I never really had a long chat with the one from Luceti. Most I ever said to the guy was praising his udon, I think.

[heritrix]

That's peculiar wording.

[To put it politely. Her tone, however, says "explain".]

[generalflirt]

[ Had he never...? ... Oh, right, this world's cycle (...was it even a cycle here? This could all be the first time. Probably was, really.) was only about a year old, maybe even less. He shakes his head and then, as simply as he can explain it, ]

There are some people I know who I've met many more than one iteration of, either because they went home and a different version showed up later, or some Shift produced a different version of them. It's the same thing here, the "Rin" ... Uh, what's his name, Okumatsu or something, right? Anyway, the version of him here isn't the same as the one who was in Luceti.

[heritrix]

[So it's like Colin, if she understands it right. Funnily enough, right down to Rin Okumura as the example.

Wait, not quite. She realizes a major difference quickly.]

So rather than traveling across space and time yourself, the place you came from acted as an hub and brought fragments of those alternate worlds to you.

[generalflirt]

Mmmhm. [ He nods. ]

All worlds, times, places, and dimensions are linked to that world, or at least that's what the Organization was pretty sure of. The reason my enclosure was strange though is that we were able to leave in the way I just said.

[heritrix]

[She doesn't miss the implications of that — that others weren't so lucky, that it must have been as accidental as their arrival, given everything he's told her before — but she's honestly too tired to go into it. Actually, if she were to come clean, her interest is a clinical one for what she could potentially learn about Second Magic from it.

It doesn't say anything good about her, that what a trying experience it must have been for him is only her second passing thought, but she's always known she's an awful person like that. Smiling, Rin steers the subject away from both thoughts.]

Did you ever meet another version of me there?

[generalflirt]

Afraid not.

[ He says this quickly, because if he ever met anyone as vibrant as this Tohsaka girl she would stand out in his memory, right? If he tried to process it further, he would realize that he was concurrent with a Rin Tohsaka very early in his stay, and might've winked at her from across the street or something. But in terms of having "met" her? There's no way, not really. ]

I've not "met" too many people's iterations, one of the only stand out ones is Zuko-chan.
