[She pauses... and then laughs awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.
She'll offer it to him, though, if he wants to check it out!]
Will it sound strange if I say that I do not precisely know...? It is a keepsake from my father. I was told it was a project he was working on, but I don't believe he ever finished it, so now it is... simply this.
[... That sounds sad.
She doesn't want it to sound so pitiful, so!! She opens the top up.]
there is something understanding in his eyes when she mentions that it's from her father and. despite the fact that it's a little sad, he founds himself smiling.]
... I wonder if it's in the nature of fathers to leave things behind for their children to pick up and learn from.
[She feels like there's something sad there, right beneath the surface... but she can't quite place it. Either way, she carefully sets the metal ball on her nightstand and hesitantly brushes off the skirt of her dress coat for a lack of any other better options.]
Mm... I suppose that may be true. I didn't have this on me when I was kidnapped, so... it is a little frightening to see it here like this.
[... and like]
And Gulfan is a hawk...! How did they bring him along as well?
She pauses for a moment, almost embarrassed, before she blurts out:]
My roommate back home used to ferment vegetables in our shared dorm room, and it was... a bit much! The smell, I mean--it was quite awful. So... if you could refrain from something like that, I feel as though I would be entirely happy...
[he hums thoughtfully at that even as he moves to go sit on the edge of the bed that gulfan was on earlier - he guides the bird to return to the perch. he'll probably have to bring him out later in order to make sure he gets something to eat, but.]
... well, it'd be for the best if you don't allow it to get in the way of your sleep. We'll have to keep up our strength for whatever the days ahead may hold.
Would you like some tea? I can brew some for us both.
[he looks so proud at that idea, but just manages a smile]
I think at times like this, adults have to be - and there have been some dangerous happenings in my country lately... so I suppose I always prepared for something like this? [kidnapping,] Just not quite on this scale.

anyway he's going to turn over once he notices the metal ball in her hands and blinks]
Ah? That is...?

[... That sounds sad.

Look, it does open, though...!
[There is nothing inside.
It's still kind of a pitiful keepsake.]

... I wonder if it's in the nature of fathers to leave things behind for their children to pick up and learn from.
I think it's lovely.
no subject
You truly do?
[She smiles a little at that, looking gently bashful.]
You are too kind, Mister Won. But... thank you. I'm very happy to hear you say that.
[A beat.]
Does that mean your father also left you keepsakes...?
no subject
.... he left behind a few projects for me as well. But maybe it's just normal for great men to always aspire for more that way.
[to keep moving forward as if death will never reach them.
it sounds nice, he thinks.]
Ah, but I've had Gulfan since I was a boy, too. So it seems like our hosts at least felt like reuniting us with important items.
no subject
Mm... I suppose that may be true. I didn't have this on me when I was kidnapped, so... it is a little frightening to see it here like this.
[... and like]
And Gulfan is a hawk...! How did they bring him along as well?
no subject
[he'll at least move to continue inspecting, looking over the closet]
Gulfan won't descend from the skies for anyone besides myself and... one other person - and that person wouldn't be involved with all this.
In general, I shouldn't be here without my bodyguards as well...
no subject
not that ange knows but
in my heart, that's gay]
It is still so mysterious...
[... ANYWAY. FOCUS.]
Ah, um, but...! I suppose this really does mean we are rooming together for now. [UMMM.
Small curtsy!] I... hope I do not cause you any trouble!
no subject
we could've roomed together
anyway
soo-won is just going to offer a bit of a sheepish smile at that, before bowing his head since he can't move all that much without dislodging gulfan]
Well, I'd like to hope that we aren't here for very long - but I'm sure you won't. I'll do my best as well.
Let's continue to get along.
no subject
... Are there any habits that annoy you, Mister Won? I would like to try to avoid them if so.
no subject
though at least he seems to be willing to think on it, contemplating on if there's any odd tendencies people have that he finds irksome.]
... nothing comes to mind - but I'll let you know if something comes up.
Are there any habits I should be mindful of?
no subject
Well, that is...
[HMMM...
She pauses for a moment, almost embarrassed, before she blurts out:]
My roommate back home used to ferment vegetables in our shared dorm room, and it was... a bit much! The smell, I mean--it was quite awful. So... if you could refrain from something like that, I feel as though I would be entirely happy...
[Ange has been Hurt Before.]
no subject
but
that's
holy shit]
O-Oh!
[HE'S TRYING SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH WHEN SHE'S CLEARLY PAINED-]
No, I would never.
[HE'LL JUST SAY IT]
no subject
Ange just dips her head, shoulders slumping a little.]
Thank goodness...
Then in that case... I believe we should be just fine as roommates, Mister Won.
no subject
[and he'll point at the closet that he's opened up]
It looks like they've included changes of clothes for us as well. It seems like our hosts believe we'll be here a while.
no subject
Ange's extra dress is cute.]
... Oh... [:(] It isn't as though I wish to escape your company early, but... that is rather...
[Ominous.]
no subject
No, I understand. It's also not your first choice on where you would be, given that no choice was involved at all.
That in and of itself is an issue.
no subject
Either way, she just sighs forlornly, nodding.]
... Though I suppose there is no point in dwelling right now... it is a little difficult not to.
[Now that they have stopped moving for a minute.]
no subject
... well, it'd be for the best if you don't allow it to get in the way of your sleep. We'll have to keep up our strength for whatever the days ahead may hold.
Would you like some tea? I can brew some for us both.
no subject
I would love some tea, Mister Won. If you do not mind brewing it this time, I would be happy to handle our next teatime.
[c...chore divisions is trading off tea brewing???]
no subject
Mm, of course. Do you have a preference on what we drink? Something herbal before bedtime to soothe our nerves, perhaps.
[does he look like he needs to be soothed]
no subject
Something herbal sounds delightful for this time of the evening.
But Mister Won, forgive me for saying so, but you do not look like you're overcome by nerves at all.
no subject
[he looks so proud at that idea, but just manages a smile]
I think at times like this, adults have to be - and there have been some dangerous happenings in my country lately... so I suppose I always prepared for something like this? [kidnapping,] Just not quite on this scale.
no subject
[WITHOUT HESITATION.]
You are incredibly reliable, Mister Won! [A beat.] I mean... we do not know each other well... but I always feel reassured when I speak with you.
I suppose... it is just how calm and steady you are. It feels as though nothing truly surprises you.
no subject
Maybe it's because I've lived a varied life? The more experience you get, the more prepared you are.
[but he'll wave a hand]
You can prepare for bed. I'll knock before I come back in with tea.
[so he can also be mindful of her privacy]
