Great, now Rita felt bad. Why should she? ...Well, this girl seemed lonely, and didn't seem the type to revel in it. She really should get going, then, since she was allowed to, but... Guilt wracked her consciousness. The fonist could not leave now... Maybe...she could stay just a bit. but only a bit.

"Yeah, I've just got a lot on my mind." The younger girl replied. "but there's not really anything I need to get done right now, so... Whatever." Rita hesitantly reached for a cookie, brought it back to her and nibbled on it. Her eyes lit up in pleasant surprise as she found that the cookie...was quite sweet and tasty. The brunette may not admit it, but...she loved sweet things. Gels especially...

"B-but don't get me wrong! I just...needed something to do!" The girl slightly stammered. She didn't want Estellise to get the wrong idea... It's not as if they were friends or anything!
