Video 07 → What Do Women Want, Anyway?

[irregular]

[Unfiltered. Let's see how long it takes Ken to realize this.]

[Ken sits on the edge of the fountain in Espoir, frowning into the camera in aggrieved confusion, as if it personally has done him some disservice.]

Uh... this is probably gonna sound dumb but Does anyone know what kind of stuff you get a girl you like that isn't totally stupid or creepy?

[The head and neck of a toy giraffe are just visible in the lower right hand corner of the frame. Ken glances over at it as he speaks, then shoves it quickly down in an attempt to get it out of shot, without any real noticeable success. An awkward look flickers across his face. Great, so he's already seriously regretting deciding to ask this question and he hasn't even finished saying it yet...]

And I'm not gonna do flowers.

[The feed cuts off quickly.]

[Dun Dun DUN.]

Aya-chan...?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I'm thinkin' I should jump in front of a car now and save him the trouble.

[...Crap. What do you say to your best friend when he likes the sister of an obsessively overprotective, homicidal young man prone to violent swings of anger whenever she's involved?]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Or maybe that's not likely enough to kill me and I should jump off something.

[1blackcat.livejournal.com]

...I.

[Omi works his jaw a little. Worried looks is Go now.]

Ken-kun. What are you going to do?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Have that look back with interest.]

I dunno. Move out, maybe... it kinda depends on if she likes me, I guess.

[1blackcat.livejournal.com]

[Omi feels for you, Ken, he really does.]

...Should I talk to her for you?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

It's okay... I guess I really should do that much myself. The wost she can do is say she ain't interested.

[That shouldn't have sounded as upsetting as it did. Oh, crap. Hidaka, you got problems]

...Ken-kun.

I... I'm sure all Aya-kun wants is for her to be happy. Even if he doesn't like what it is.

The truth is... We aren't Weiss here. This might not be possible, back home, but...

If you find something that makes you happy here... I hope you get the outcome you want.

... yeah. Yeah. You're right. Thanks, Omi.

[It's really all he can think of to say, but he feels it, every inch of it. He smiles, closing his eyes for a moment.]

[Omi nods once, though Ken can't see it while his eyes are closed.]

Good luck, okay?

Thanks... I'm probably gonna need it.

[He laughs, just a little. It's kinda funny, really.]
