Namine kept her eyes on the fire, even though she felt Roxas' gaze on her. She couldn't bring herself to look over though, not with that last statement still hanging in the air.
"I don't care if I was just defending myself; I still made Jeff angry and that's what started this whole thing." She kept her eyes on the fire, staring at it even after she had finished speaking.
Namine waited for a moment, silence filling the room for a few seconds before she spoke. "If I shouldn't blame myself, then you shouldn't blame yourself either," Namine pointed out, keeping her eyes focused on the fire in front of her. "You were only standing up for me, after all. It seems as if the blame should be more on me, since I'm the one who started this whole conflict." There; it was out in the open now.
Namine kept her eyes on the fire, feeling a pang of sadness with that touchy subject. What Roxas said...that it was really his fault this time, Namine didn't see it that way. Not at all. "I don't think that," Namine said softly, blinking one time before continuing. "You only hurt Jeff because he had threatened me, and I take responsibility for making him angry. In the end...it all comes back to me," she stopped there, unable to think of anything else to add at that moment.
When Roxas looked away, Namine did as well, turning her attention toward the fire. She nodded softly in agreement to Roxas' assessment, the statement sounding accurate.
Namine could tell Roxas was relieved at that answer, and she was too. She had no idea what the fight was like outside, not even hearing anything other than the pouring rain and thunder. Seeing it would have been a mistake, and she realized that both at the time and now. Staying away had been a smart idea, she was sure of that much.
Namine shook her head slightly in response before giving a verbal answer. "No," she stated softly. "No, I didn't see it."
Namine arched a brow slightly in confusion, her eyes staying on Roxas. "See what?" she asked gently, needing a little more clarification as to what he was referring to.
Okay-dokey. =)
Namine took in Roxas' words, her eyes locking with his. She nodded slightly. Though she didn't know the exact details, she knew that Jeff had helped Roxas some. She was thankful for that, even though she would never, ever like Jeff.
Sure, that sounds like a cute idea. =)
Namine lifted her eyes at that last statement, still confused about how Roxas knew she was in trouble. Did Jeff know that his brother had come to Roxas' house? Did he send him there? Namine chased away that thought, remembering how strict Jeff had been with his brother. If it had been an act, it was very well coordinated. And she doubt that Jeff was smart enough to plan something like that.
Namine pulled her eyes away for a moment, gazing at the floor in thought. She didn't care how Roxas had known that she was in trouble; it didn't make any difference now. She was just thankful that he had come...again.
Hmm...I don't know either.
"...Not only on that day, but today too," Namine added softly, knowing that was another subject that Roxas wanted to cover. What she said was absolutely true. If he hadn't come back when he did...bad things could have happened. No, not could have; would have. She knew that for sure now. Brian would have hurt her very badly if Roxas hadn't come back.
That makes sense. xDD
Namine paused for a moment, hearing Roxas cut himself off. That was a thought that neither of them wanted to elaborate on, so Namine brought the subject back to what really mattered. "I'm glad you found me too," she said softly, her light blue eyes staying connected with Roxas' ocean-blue orbs.
Yeah...seriously, how many more exciting moments can we come up with? I don't even know anymore. xD
Namine's eyes met Roxas' in the silence, the girl seeing some of the firelight reflecting in his eyes. She heard the soft cackle of fire, but she didn't think about it, her main thoughts going into the conversation at hand.
Yes, but in order to get more moments like this, we need some serious stuff to happen. It's hard to have serious moments if nothing significant...
