I don't mind. [There's warmth in his voice-- she may be a stranger, but the fact of it is that they shared memories, that he saw for her eyes for a short time.
As paranoid and suspicious as Hinata is...] My address is-- [and insert address here!!] I'll make some tea.
[The door opens after a couple of knocks, and Hinata blinks at her-- and he nods in greeting, shifting his body slightly to the side. Inside, the apartment is actually very, very... normal.
[While he likes them, getting one so suddenly throws him for a loop. For a moment, alarm bells go off in his head, paranoia kicking in, but he shakes it off to look down at her.
He'll return the hug with one arm... and give her a headpat with the other hand.]
N-no, it's not really anything you need to thank me for... anyway, come in?
It's okay, it's not something you have to rush to believe.
[Trailing off, he frowns thoughtfully down at his tea before he shakes his head.] For me, that happened a while ago. Almost a year ago. So I'm all right. [...] I'm more worried about you.

What I saw was something personal to you. I won't tell anyone else what happened.
Everyone makes mistakes. I'm so sorry, Hinata.
no subject
It's not something I'm really trying to keep secret, but... you understand. It's a little tough to talk about.
[As such, it's something... he comes around to in his own time.]
no subject
Hinata, can I come see you? It'll be easier for us to talk face to face!
no subject
[...But, after a moment, he smiles a bit.] Aa, sure. Let's meet up. Want the address to my place?
no subject
I'll bring some snacks and we can chat over there.
You don't mind do you? [She's practically a stranger after all.]

[It takes her a few minutes to arrive but...]
Hello?
[Knocking on the door! She hopes she's at the right place.]
action
No holograms to change the look of things here.]
Hey. Come on in.
action
[Hinata, do you like hugs? Meruru's about to greet you with one. She only means well, of course.]
Thank you for inviting me over.
action
He'll return the hug with one arm... and give her a headpat with the other hand.]
N-no, it's not really anything you need to thank me for... anyway, come in?
action
[She walks into Hinata's place and takes a look around.]
You have a nice place! [It's so neat and tidy.] Do you live here alone?
action
[But it is a very clean place...
esp for two guys BUT they're fastidious. He moves to lead her into the living room, where he's already got tea all set up and ready to serve.]
action
Can I meet your friend someday?
action
And of course you can meet him. He's a good guy, though sometimes a bit tough to try and figure out.
action
He doesn't sound like a bad person. Everyone's different that's okay. [She's easily accepted the facts already.]
action
Yeah, that's right. Everyone's different, and he really isn't a bad guy. But, over here.
[He'll invite her to take a seat with a wave of his hand.]
action
Hinata, I still have a hard time believing everything that's happened. How do you feel?
action
[Trailing off, he frowns thoughtfully down at his tea before he shakes his head.] For me, that happened a while ago. Almost a year ago. So I'm all right. [...] I'm more worried about you.
Was it... scary?
action
Thank you for worrying about me, you're very kind. [She tries her best to smile and she pulls herself together.]
action
[He pauses a moment.] After what you saw... it did get better. Things ended all right.
action
You're all right now! [It's enough to make her happy.]
action
Thanks. But... in the end, I didn't disappear like they told me that I would. It was kind of like a miracle.
action
[She's thankful for that from the bottom of her heart. Hinata deserves better!]
