[ It's definitely a trial to figure out how Kyoko really felt about things in general, just because of how agreeable and downright serviceable the younger girl was. One of the few things that was clear on what she actually liked was cooking, as she had been focusing on trying new summer-appropriate meals. Otherwise, it was a little... difficult.

When Natsuru knocks and calls from the other side of the room, Kyoko was sitting on her bed with a recent load of laundry. ]

Natsuru-san?

[ It's a moment before she's up and opening the door. ]

Do you need something?

[Figuring these sorts of things out is definitely one of those areas Natsuru does not excel in. But she hopes they'll connect more over time. ... At least in the meantime, the living arrangement doesn't seem objectionable to anyone involved.

But now she's faced with having to admit why she came to check on her not-daughter. Why is this so awkward?]

N-No, it's nothing like that! I mean... I was just wondering if you saw that broadcast...

[She's doing her best to make it sound perfectly innocent, although she's obviously worried about something.]

Oh, that.

[ As inconsequential as Kyoko's tone was, there was no way for Natsuru to realize what it really meant. Not anything against Natsuru, because she had the distinct disadvantage of having an actress for an assigned daughter. Even more, a daughter that was taught to keep a certain appearance to other people ever since she was young.

Which is why she offers something of a sheepish smile. ]

I think it's hard to miss those broadcasts. I can assure you, however, that the one about me is definitely not true.

[And Natsuru is the exact opposite, showing nearly everything she's feeling whether she even realizes she's feeling it or not. She's gotten better recently, managing to make up for some of her flaws. But the confirmation that Kyoko did see the broadcast pierces right through any filter she might try to put up. And then her reaction...

Before she knows it, Natsuru is looking even more upset.]

That's not what I'm worried about!

[Whoops. Reining that in now, reel it back to a more subdued level of concern.]

I know you're not like that. Or, I think so.

[Kyoko might be largely a big question mark to her, but she still thinks she's sweet and nice. Not the type that'd be all over the boys all the time.]

I guess I just, um... wanted to make sure you were okay. ... If someone said that about me...

[Well, it'd probably be hard to believe, with how obviously she and Sayaka are in love. But before that, if this had happened to her, she'd be freaking out.]

[ Not the type to be all over boys even some of the time. Unless it was part of her role, but that couldn't exactly count as Kyoko being the type. Yet as upset as Natsuru was, Kyoko calmly nodded and went to sit down, leaving the door as an open invitation. ]

It was the type of thing I'd rather avoid, but I was warned that these events can have unpredictable effects.

[ And that's when the calmest of smiles come up, like a waitress that says they'd be glad to bring a replacement or refill to an order. ]

If the rumor turns out to have affected someone's opinion of me, I'll just have to make them understand how it really is.

[Natsuru takes the implied invitation, coming in to sit down next to her 'daughter'. Respectfully spaced, of course... because still not sure how familiar they should be with each other yet. She's impressed at Kyoko's words, but still a little worried. It's one thing to say it and another entirely to have to do it.]

That's good... I guess.

......

It's... I mean, if anyone believes something like this, it can be hard dealing with it.

[That is the voice of experience there. Not exactly the same situation, but she's had to deal with far too many people thinking she'd be interested in them.]

I understand how strong rumors can be. Luckily this is something that's entirely contained within Holly Heights.

[ Which is why she could hold such a calm mind about it. She wouldn't shame her agency or ruin her reputation as an actress or anything like that. ]

I wouldn't worry too much, though. Even if they believed it at first, once I meet with them they'll understand such a thing is impossible and all misunderstandings will be cleared up.

[Wow, Kyoko. She wanted to check on you because she was worried, but now she's really impressed. But... she's had plenty of experience with pushy guys back home, too. As much as she believes Kyoko's conviction, she's not sure she could handle a worst case scenario alone. So while she seems much less worried, she still has to ask...]

How... can you be sure? Some guys don't give up easily.

[Is there something about Kyoko she doesn't know? ~~There are a lot of things she doesn't know about her...~~]

I've handled persistent customers before. I'm sure it won't be any different from that.

[ Growing up in customer service is her true power, apparently. You can handle a lot after dealing with a party of people drunk off of sake. ]

Yeah, but-

[You don't have any powers, what if the guy is that much bigger and stronger and really persistent?!

But... wait, hold on. Dial that back a bit, Natsuru. This isn't home, this is Holly Heights. Most of the guys here are awkward dorks.]

... Never mind. I guess I was getting too worried about nothing.

[Being a not-mom who cares but doesn't want to be pushy is weird. (Though she'd probably be the same way if they were sisters or something, which is a thing she's definitely used to by now. So maybe not as weird as it feels.)]

Not quite nothing.

[ She's not about to completely dismiss Natsuru's concern. What she felt was for a good reason. Kyoko simply didn't want her to be too bothered by it. ]

That I can handle it, as if anyone would actually pursue me, is simply meant to ease that worry.

[Such a self-sufficient daughter! Well, Natsuru doesn't like to meddle too much, so that's fine.]

Alright...

But if you ever did need it, um... I don't want you to feel like you can't ask for help?

[She doesn't even know what she could do. She's just throwing it out there. Kyoko's been really polite and helpful and sweet ever since arriving, but Natsuru still feels a little distance there. Maybe it's just her imagination... this situation isn't really all that different than with Chieri, after all.]

[ Really, Natsuru could probably help with more than either of them realized. Sometimes, people just go a little too far when they don't want to, for lack of a better word, inconvenience those around them. Even if it's clearly stated that they wouldn't be. Essentially, Natsuru was assigned a very problematic 'child', in the most unusual of ways.

It was actually comforting to know that there was someone like that in Kyoko's life. That just had enforced her not wanting to intrude, because the feeling seemed like enough. ]

I understand, Natsuru-san. I appreciate that, really. If things work out, however, that will hopefully not be needed.

[The older girl smiles, a soft and gentle smile. She clearly cares a lot about Kyoko, despite only being together in this situation by random chance. As she's said, she knew someone that supported her when she was new in this place, and it's made her want to emulate that person and be here for others. So as long as Kyoko knows she's here for her... well, that's all she wanted to make sure of.]

Okay...

[As she moves to stand up, her hand brushes Kyoko's briefly, giving a soft squeeze. Accidental or attempt at a reassuring gesture? Either way, she seems a little embarrassed about it.]

Um... I'll leave you alone now, then! I'll be out in the living room if you need anything.

[If they really understand each other as much as it seems, Kyoko should know she's being absolutely sincere about that.]
