[Ochita]

Albert was in the middle of a spoonful of porridge when Tomik sat down at the table, listening to what he had to say, he finally finished the spoonful, and gave a small sigh.
: "Thanks for the apology. And you were a jerk then, the whole thing was embarrassing."
Albert took a sip of his water, and coughed, looking to the side.
: "And.. Anyway, do I really seem like I was getting into a romantic relationship? There's just way too much going on, being on the run, barely knowing each other, and the fact that this is pretty much the first time I really had I guess so much close interaction with girls.. I was just trying to be friendly."

[Swordstar]

"No, not really. I... I was just trying to tease my sister. And... didn't think about your feelings. Which is my fault. I mean, the two of you were hanging out some and I just wanted to tease her because she had been teasing me and Lily though... I guess that's slightly different. And instead I just..."

He sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry. I'll do my best to make sure I don't act like that again, alright?"

[Ochita]

Albert nodded his head.
: "Thanks, that's really all that I can ask of you. Although.. I guess you didn't hear, but I ended up.. Shouting a lot at Senija when she came outside to check on me. I don't know how upset she is, but could you check on her later?"

[Swordstar]

"Aww damn. Yeah, I'll check on her. Dunno where she is. She and Lily are both not down here... I'll check on her later but... She's usually pretty tough. Don't worry. She springs back easily, alright?"

[Ochita]

: "Mmm.. Okay. I'm just concerned because she did seem for a loss of words.."
: _{"And I was surprisingly angry.}"
The last part being spoken barely audible enough for Tomik to hear.

[Sirus]

: "...Sorry to interrupt, but where on earth did you get bedclothes, Tomik?"

[Swordstar]

"Her being at a loss for words? Yeah, that's strange. But... you deserved to be angry."

"Huh? These? Oh, uh, I found 'em on that ship we stole. They fit me so I figured I may as well take 'em."

[Sirus]

: "Huh. Didn't even think of checking around the ship for things like that."

The thief shrugged and returned to his biscuit.

[Ochita]

Albert waited until Tomik replied to Harlan, than gave a unhappy shrug.
: "It's just this is one of the very few times I've actually gotten completely angry. Growing up in a monastery the main thing that was taught to all the acolytes was self control over emotions like that."

[Swordstar]

"Heh. Sounds like you're about the opposite of Senija. I tend to control my anger, especially when I'm fighting but... She's a bit, well... You've seen, I'm sure."

[Ochita]

Albert gave a faint smile to that.
: "Yeah, she's.. Either happy or furious. I have to say, when she's happy its oddly infectious. I end up getting surprisingly fired up.. I guess I'm not really perfect at keeping emotions like that in check. Though they don't do any harm."

[Swordstar]

"Keeping your emotions in check all the time... Can't be healthy. I mean, I control them in battle so that I don't get out of control, but... You can't bury all that all the time. Or at least, that's how I see it."

[Ochita]

: "It was how I was brought up, and it wasn't as though every emotion had to be suppressed.. Just the dangerous ones."

[Swordstar]

"I see. Well... I guess now that you're with us, maybe don't be afraid to let some of those show now, alright?"

[Ochita]

Albert looked somewhat surprised by that, and quickly took a sip of water.
: "I... Maybe? I never thought about not trying to inhibit those things, and I guess I can't return home.. I'll think on it..."
