( oh ven, you are so good to your housemate. managing to avoid the ground in what surely would have been a blow to her pride, meredy looked up at him, her eyes gleaming with gratefulness. ) Thank you, Ven...

( she never really had a problem being so close to people, although closeness like this was rare. there were just so few people willing to get close to someone like her, especially back home... ) I think... you are right when you say it was easier back home with our own abilities... Heheh... ( she'd definitely have to perfect some of those moves in order to get them right again...

still keeping up with that smile, she gave his arms a reassuring squeeze -- ) But with practice, Meredy thinks it will be okay... Probably!
