[ROLEPLAY]

Title: Exchange
What: Ai Thao muses over the messages sent by her clone sister, Lien. She's seeing a change and it's a little strange, but probably for the best. Based on musebox events.
Notes: Starring Ai Thao Kha ([personal profile] emotive) and Lien Kha ([personal profile] psychometer).



Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Ai Thao Kha was having a rare night of rest instead of having to train, review, or execute a mission. Everyone in the commune was inside their respective homes to escape the heat despite it being late at night. A low rumble of thunder sounded off in the distance, signalling the continuation of the monsoon season. Downstairs of the house Ai was living in, most of the adults were sitting around the dining table enjoying glasses of iced tea, bitter coffee, and late night seafood bought from a cart from the city. She had declined joining in. Ai wasn't good at idle conversation.

The telepath couldn't really sleep, but it wasn't the heat that kept her awake. She sat on her bed staring intently at her laptop screen. It took a while, but finally, a new window popped up.

LKHA: Hey, you awake? Wake up, wake up, wake up -`д´-

A small smile lit up Ai's face and she quickly typed back.

AKHA: Good morning. Yes, I'm awake.

LKHA: Oh, good. It's getting late over there isn't it? It's pretty early morning right now. Not that it matters, I barely got much sleep.

AKHA: Something happened last night didn't it? I sort of felt it.

LKHA: Aw, crap really? I forgot we actually had a link.

AKHA: Really. But you're alright it seems. I'm glad.

LKHA: Don't tell Ba Ngaoi, she'll flip.

AKHA: Get angry you mean? She'll find out sooner or later.
AKHA: Are you going to tell me?

LKHA: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
LKHA: Maybe, but it's a long story so no elaboration for now. Just know that a LOT of stuff happened (●__●)

AKHA: Those faces you make are cute...
AKHA: Um, but back on topic.
AKHA: Is it about Mr. Lindsey again??

LKHA: Oh, c'mon what makes you think that?
LKHA: That means yes.

AKHA: Ah.
AKHA: You told me that he knows about...? And he's the one with that...?

LKHA: Yup and yup.
LKHA: It's been a weird few months hanging out with him.
LKHA: I didn't expect things to last this long? And then I just... I THINK I really caused something this time? And now things feel really weird.

AKHA: Weird? Like, you're not getting along?

LKHA: No, no, I inadvertently helped out in a way.
LKHA: And get this.
LKHA: We held hands.
LKHA: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK BUT SERIOUSLY, I'M NOT AS SCARED OF PHYSICAL CONTACT ANYMORE THAT'S THE WEIRD PART.

AKHA:(⊙_☉)

LKHA: Oh cool, you know how to make those now.

AKHA: That's amazing Lien!
AKHA: It sounds like Mr. Lindsey is someone you really trust. I'm happy for you! :)

LKHA: Uh. Thanks.

AKHA: You can tell me more next time. If you want to, I mean.

LKHA: I guess, there is one thing.

AKHA: ????

LKHA: Okay, so I kind of got weird about it since you know, I don't hold hands with just anyone. Or ever really.
LKHA: It was cool though, but then he said this.
LKHA: "But you're good for me. If all that's going to happen right now is we're gonna hold hands for a while, I'm okay with that."
LKHA: ?!?!??!?
LKHA: THINKING ABOUT THIS WOKE ME UP!!!
LKHA: "All that's gonna happen?" There's some implication here isn't there?

AKHA: ... I'm not the best person to ask about this, you realize?

LKHA: Ugh, don't get smart with me. (/゚Д゚)/

AKHA: Sorry, Lien. But I if you want some of my insight?
AKHA: It's just as it says. The both of you are at a good place.
AKHA: You're worrying about this a lot since you really like Mr. Lindsey.
AKHA: He's very precious to you now isn't he?
AKHA: I may not know him, but after all you've been willing to tell me
AKHA: It sounds like you're absolutely precious to him too.
AKHA: Like I said, I'm not good about these things either, but you're pretty easy to read.
AKHA: Tell me if things go anywhere else, ok? I'm looking forward to it. And it seems like you want things to go forward.

LKHA: I
LKHA: aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
LKHA: Okay, going now.

LKHA signed off.

AKHA: .... (。・д・)ノ゙???


Ai Thao sighed, but she was still smiling. Lien used to laugh about things like affection and friendships. They were nice things, but expensive.

It looked like something was changing within her at least.
