[she's a little apart from the main areas, just shooting a spot on the tree as though it's target practice, before fetching her arrows again.

when lavi comes along, though, she pauses.]

... Hi, Lavi.

[bookpapers]

[he looks from her to the arrows in her hand, Boothill's grin when Lavi waved him over to ask.]

...I'm sorry.

[segnale]

[her hand starts shaking, a little.]

... Don't be. E-Everyone liked Boothill a lot, huh...? It just goes to show how good of a person he is... or was, when not influenced by the monster...

[bookpapers]

[his brow furrows at her trembling hand, at the use of past tense. not that nona is technically wrong for it, but

he steps forward to press his hand over her shaking one.]

...I don't really know him. [truthful, then] I'm sorry because you like him too.

[segnale]

[when he presses his hand over hers, she's quiet for a moment.

...

and then she bursts into tears.]

[bookpapers]

[...

he doesn't move closer, but he doesn't pull his hand away -- instead he tightens his grip, not hard enough to be painful. just firm. supportive.]

[segnale]

[after a few moments she calms down, sniffling still as she tries to pull herself together.]

... Sorry. I'm kind of a mess right now, huh?

[bookpapers]

Yeah.

[THANKS LAVI, but he smiles]

But it's better to be a mess now than shove it all down later.

[which he thinks nona will do ANYWAY.... but still]

[segnale]

Haha... [she wipes away at her eyes with her free hand.] Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Lavi.

[bookpapers]

[he'll reach up to tug off his scarf, and then drop it around Nona's shoulders.]

There. I always cuddle with my scarf after I cry. I like how it's nice and cozy.

[segnale]

[HO BEHAVIOUR

no nona appreciates it. she reaches up to touch the scarf.]

Aw... you know, if you keep being this nice to me, I'm going to cry again!

[bookpapers]

[STOP

enjoy this warm scarf that's threadbare and worn at the edges but still cozy ig]

So you want me to be mean to you?

[segnale]

[she is enjoying it, the gesture was very sweet. she looks at him as though examining him...]

I'm trying to picture you being mean...

[bookpapers]

[he looks at her expectantly like as if he is expectantly waiting for Nona's rendition of mean Lavi with very high expectations]

[segnale]

... You want me to give a hypothetical scenario!?

[THIS IS A LOT OF PRESSURE]

[bookpapers]

[:)]

Yeah! I think it’d be funny.

[segnale]

Hm... well, here goes!

[PUTS HER HANDS ON HER HIPS and drops her voice an octave to try and mimic lavi]

Wow, you get cold? Who does that? What a loser. Stand there and suffer and see if I care. In fact, don't even talk to me.

[bookpapers]

[HELP

HE JUST STARTS LAUGHING]

I was right...!

[IT WAS FUNNY]

[segnale]

Hey, I tried my best!

[but she laughs too]

[bookpapers]

It was a good try.

[despite this being a SAD SAT PC, it's nice to take a brief moment like this to laugh, and smiles suit Nona better than tears,]

The next time Laudna asks for gossip, I'll tell her you were mean to me.

[segnale]

Whaaaat? Hey!

[bookpapers]

[SNICKERS]

It'll cheer her up! [LAUDNA IS ALWAYS CHEERFUL....] Don't you wanna make her happy?

[she's always happy....]

[segnale]

Oof. Low blow, Lavi. Of course I do.

[bookpapers]

[it's not affection week, but he will adjust the scarf and then pat her on the head,]

You made me happy too.

[segnale]

[she smiles a little, even though she looks like she's trying not to.]

Then it was worth it... I suppose...
