[Ichiro is so kind and Jyushi smiles, watching the exchange. How Elizabeth comes out and then tugs the flowers into her hidey, where she can eat safely with a stranger in the room. Jyushi knows she'll get used to Ichiro and it won't be hard. Ichiro has such a relaxing aura about him.
His eyes go to Amanda's spot on his bed and he takes a breath.]
You know, um, it's my best friend's birthday too. [It's scary to introduce Amanda to Ichiro but it's important.]
[Were guinea pigs always this cute? Or is it just Elizabeth? Ichiro's only reference is Hamtaro, and he's a hamster...
There's no time to think about that, though. Ichiro turns to look in Jyushi's direction, completely unsuspecting. If he sees Amanda just beyond his boyfriend, he doesn't think anything of it.]
[Another deep breath and he goes over to his bed, picking up Amanda from his spot. He shows her to Ichiro with a small smile, a little nervous. It was always Amanda that people found odd. And Ichiro was kind, Jyushi knew. He didn't even blink twice at Jyushi's over-the-top behavior. But people always thought Amanda was odd.]
This is Amanda. She's my best friend. My first and best.
[Idiot. Blurting that out even though Jyushi's looking so timid about this all. But seriously, why couldn't Hitoya have been more clear??]
Sorry - I mean. Hitoya-san mentioned a pig but didn't explain what that meant. I thought it was Elizabeth. [Ichiro trails off, keeping his eyes on the little plush being cradled so carefully in Jyushi's hands.
He can't fully understand. He, nor his brothers, ever had anything like this growing up. But when has he ever questioned who people love or find family in.]
[Jyushi's a little concerned when Ichiro just blurts out "THE PIG" because what does that mean? And the way he's looking seems like it isn't a positive reaction??
But at his explanation, he relaxes a little and smiles. Hitoya would have thought of Amanda. He was somebody that understood what the plush pig meant to him. Jyushi doesn't know the context but he would trust Hitoya with anything. If he mentioned Amanda, it was for a good reason.
He shakes his head.] No, my grandmother made her for me. When I was little.

Really? That pretty lucky! Is it someone here?
[As in, in Avalon.]
