[ Nonon almost always has a plate of desserts whenever she's in the East Wing. Her fork is halfway to her mouth, but it pauses for Zoe. ]
Hey, Guitar Girl. I'm trying to make the best of it, but you know the huge obstacle that happened earlier. [ Yu getting hit with Advancement Opportunity. ] What's up?
[She definitely knows, and there's a resulting sigh. She wishes she knew who did it, but - if Yu himself didn't want to fixate on it, she shouldn't either, she thinks.]
You said there was something I could ask you in private, remember?
I thought I wanted to be with him, but then I came here, and there’s... someone else. Someone who I know doesn’t feel the same, so it shouldn’t even matter, but...
Right, yeah. I'll just lord that over him forever until he resents me and we have a totally functional, happy relationship. Besides... I get the feeling Evan already thinks, like, every person on the planet is better than him. He doesn't know how much he's given me.

no subject
She sets down the fork. ]
Yes. Satsuki Kiryuuin is the person I respect most in my world, this world, or any world. I would follow her anywhere.
[ Her devotion is clear when she speaks about Satsuki. There's no mistaking it. ]
I'm not afraid to talk about her, but it's harder to guess I'm with Love if I don't.
no subject
That's sweet. How long have you been dating?
1/2
god she wishes
Nonon loses her cool for a split second. Like, a super quick second. ]
no subject
Never. She wouldn't know a date if it hit her in the face. For a very good reason, but it's still the truth.
[ There's affection in her voice. ]
no subject
Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to get too personal.
no subject
[ She shrugs, but she still takes a bite out of her dessert. ]
I know what Satsuki-chan is like, and I don't regret it. I made my choices. What about you?
no subject
[She imagines it must be painful. Still, she blinks when Nonon asks that.]
What about me...?
no subject
[ Her tone is honest and frank. She's thought about it, but it's not something she's seriously pursued. ]
Where do you want to be? Do you have anyone like that?
no subject
[It's gently prompting, but she won't force an answer out of here. When Nonon asks, though, she just kind of looks down at the ground.]
Kind of. It's... We're still trying to figure out what we are. You know? And coming here apart from him didn't exactly help me with that.
no subject
[ She watches Zoe for a moment. She doesn't need to press, but... ]
What do you want to be with him?
no subject
[She shrugs, brushing a hand through her hair.]
I thought I wanted to be with him, but then I came here, and there’s... someone else. Someone who I know doesn’t feel the same, so it shouldn’t even matter, but...
no subject
[ That's juicy, though? And more interesting than her home situation right now. Nonon leans towards Zoe. She wants to hear about this! ]
Oh? Your feelings matter even if they don't feel the same, you know. I wouldn't disregard them. Who is it?
no subject
[She sighs, though, hesitating. It isn't that she doesn't trust Nonon, but she wants to be sure before she says anything.]
If I tell you the person here that turned me down, you can't tell anyone else. Okay?
no subject
[ She says that like it's something natural like eating or breathing.
She nods. ]
You have my word.
no subject
[Another open offer without any pressure, but she glances Nonon's way as she goes on.]
Senri.
no subject
[ Her situation at home is serious, but the kind of aliens she has to face is stupid to explain.
Her eyebrows lift in surprise. ]
The bunny? Well, I guess I can see how he can be others' type. Do you like him more than the guy from home?
no subject
[Either way, she gives a small shrug.]
I don't know. They're really different, but... They're also both really kind, and they've both been there for me in times when I needed it.
no subject
[ She's pretty cavalier talking about aliens that are out to kill her. ]
Whichever way it is, just know you're better than both of them.
no subject
[After a moment of surprise, she laughs abruptly.]
How'd you come to that conclusion, exactly?
no subject
[ She points her fork at her. ]
Boys are dumb, Guitar Girl. As cute as they can be, you're better just by virtue of being you. Don't ever forget that.
no subject
[She doesn’t laugh again, but the smile she wears is amused.]
Right. I’ll just choose to be lonely forever because I’m better than every boy.
no subject
Coming here was for extra security, extra insurance, but we'll take them down one way or another.
[ She waves her fork like it's a baton and closes her fingers and thumb on her left hand. ]
You have to find a boy who knows you're better than him and thinks you're the world. Don't settle for anything less.
[ ALL WOMEN* ARE QUEENS, ZOE.
*who aren't annoying and stupid ]
no subject
[Even if her next words get a smirk.]
Right, yeah. I'll just lord that over him forever until he resents me and we have a totally functional, happy relationship. Besides... I get the feeling Evan already thinks, like, every person on the planet is better than him. He doesn't know how much he's given me.
