[That really doesn't sound like a no. And Sora feels some dread because of it. Because of how he is he feels a little guilty that he wasn't there for her in that place. A place so far away from everything they know. Dangerous and scary.]
hey namine? could you tell me more about this place sometime? not with the journals i mean. can you come over soon?
[He wants to talk with her more about this. But he doesn't feel like the journals are a great place to do it.]
[ Despite her desire not to cause him any worry, she didn't quite anticipate further questions because of it. That's rather counterproductive for her hopes of avoiding the subject, and faltering, she gets through part of the letter 'I' before stopping, then continuing a beat later. ]
I can come over whenever you like.
[ That'd be a nice thought were she not so preoccupied; after so long, they've finally got the opportunity to meet and talk so easily. At the moment, though, she's busy preemptively imagining how to describe the past. ]
And I'll answer any questions that you might have about it. But [ and there's a hovering pause here, too, ] only if you're sure that you want to know.
[Truthfully, Sora started this conversation as a way to joke and chat with her for a little while. He hadn't meant to bring up such bad memories. But it makes Sora realize just how much he doesn't know about her outside of what he knows.]
yeah, i definitely want to know. i wanna know more about you, namine. that's important to me.
come over soon, okay? i'll catch up with you soon.
[ There's a lot of complicated history in her life that it's easy to stray too close to without intending as much. Perhaps if Naminé were less honest a girl, there'd be less risk to it - but alas, she finds it hard to deny anyone a truthful answer, Sora especially.
Which causes her some amount of nervous fluttering in her ribcage when he mentions wanting to know her. How much does she dare tell him? How much can she safely tell him, without jeopardizing anything? But, with the same amount of truth, ]
I'd like that too, Sora. It seems like a lot of things have happened for both of us since we last met before coming here. It'll be good to finally catch up.
[ She's holding her breath without meaning to. Letting it out with a bit of force, ]
