[Leia's jaw hangs open for a moment in disbelief, but then she closes it again as she pulls out her CereVice.]
I can't believe I didn't think of that.
[Duh.
She scrolls through her pictures until she comes across a few selfies she took with him at the beginning of the year. They were taken in quick succession, so they're similar, but she went through the effort of making silly faces. Her hair is also down and she's in a magenta coat.]
This was right after Christmas . . . you know, after that huge blizzard. I found out he lives in the same building as me.
He's . . . [There's an awkward pause as she struggles to find a good word for him in a nutshell. He is nice, she supposes . . . in his own way, but he can also be really standoffish.] He can be difficult, but he's worth it. I think I'm pretty lucky, too.
[Once they're both satisfied, she withdraws her hand and puts the CereVice aside to continue eating. Her eyes wander to the room Rei had been glancing at.]
[Rei can't help but laugh, eyes turning back to that bedroom. Shaking her head fondly, she answers.]
No. She's here...she's just a late sleeper. I don't expect her to be up before...oh...one o'clock. Sorry about that, but I will eventually introduce you. Promise.
[Leia eyes suddenly widen, and had her hands not been full with utensils, she likely would've covered her mouth when she gasped. She doesn't want to be rude and wake her up, though she gets the distinct feeling Rei isn't so worried.]
I had no idea.
[She lowers her hands.] . . . Actually, I did meet her once, but it wasn't for very long.
[A pause, after an answer that's a bit overly enthusiastic. Calmer:]
Well, I didn't know it at the time, but yeah. I remember asking her if she'd signed up for a blind date, but she mentioned that she already had one. [dodgy words like "sort of" or "kind of" were probably used as well.]
[Leia nods. She wishes her Valentines' Day had gone as well, but she was still thawing and also recovering from being in that creepy Nexus place. On other hand, though, now that she remembers--she did get to spend it with Thomas.
There's an upside to everything.]
Maybe we should save her some. It can be her brunch.
[And honestly, she could probably eat a lot of it, but she'll refrain from accepting the challenge. She has a few more bites, trying to slow down and savor the taste.]

Um. I may have seen him? I'm not sure. A lot was happening so fast.
[She pauses.]
Show me a picture on your CEREVice?

I remember the blizzard. Hah. He seems nice, and I'm very happy for you, Leia-chan. He's quite lucky.

Speaking of which, is Minako not here?

No. She's here...she's just a late sleeper. I don't expect her to be up before...oh...one o'clock. Sorry about that, but I will eventually introduce you. Promise.

Oh? When was this?

[Leia grins in turn.]
There was this class for chocolate-making at Thistle Do Nicely, and we were both there.
no subject
[...Because that had actually turned out okay.]

You like it so far?

Someday I'll make you something too, Rei.
Call it here?
I'll look forward to it then, Leia-chan.
