(Open) LUNCH!

As soon as Hawke sees Kuriko trip over he gets out of his seat and moves over.

She may be tactless about my father but she's cute and actually quite nice.

He sees her levitate slightly as she falls and then drop much slower. Confused he hurries over, staring at Ryuu as he jumps over the table.

"You ok Kuri??"

"Hawke? Is that you? I'm fine, Taketa caught me..."

I prop myself up on one arm and begin laughing, "This is just like me!" I say, grinning. "I'm such a klutz..."

"Nonsense,-I-I-u'-u'-I was sitting ac-..-ross from you with a t-table in the way."

"I didn't see who-..who caught you."

I still need to keep that about me camoflaged. Even if it means lying.

It's hard for me not to see shimmers when I control them.

How did she not see that bag, anyway? It's way out in-

...

My mind suddenly pieces it all together.

Is-..is she blind?

"As lonnng as y-you're fine."

Hawke draws Kuriko to fet feet, and surveys her himself for damage.

"Think you'll be ok, kiddo." He says, and ruffles her hair.

"Well, thank you anyway... Takito?"

"T-Taketa. Ryuu Taketa."

He knows me?

"Hhhow did you~ know?"

"I- uh... I don't.. know. I remember your name from somewhere..."
Hawke scratches his head in puzzlement.
God DAMN this memory.

"Heh, I literally just said Ryuu~! I can call you that right?" I say, flashing him a smile.

I suppose Chris just didn't want to talk to me... that's fine. He might be deaf and they're all signing to him. I don't know. I'll ask Hawke later.

I get just a little embarrassed.

A little informal, aren't you?

No matter. I shouldn't care what people call me...even if those 'people' are a little, adorable, blind girl...

"Yeah. I-it's fine."
