As Miki relaxed she got to hear out Kou's side of his original gaming experience. It seemed that he also didn't get a chance to play this game cooperatively because of issues with being able to establish a party. Having felt this way herself, Miki could commiserate, and part of the reason she was fond of Kou was because he didn't assume she'd be one of those types. Much to the lass' surprise, Kou soon grinned and mentioned that her own work ethic was the reason he liked her. Such an honest speaking moment made the girl's eyes widen just a bit, but somehow made her feel rather warm inside. Before she could reply though, the lad removed himself from her, further clarifying what he meant by his earlier statement. A look of minor confusion crossed the girl's face as she settled into her now lonely sitting position. "Sou ka..." she said chuckling just a little. "I figured as much, it's cool... I understand. I like you for similar reasons..." she said maintaining the same amount of calm she'd had the whole time, though she admittedly felt a bit chilly without the lad at her side. As for the rest of his question after his quick explanation, she didn't really have a response. "I don't know. Whenever I guess... I'll be able to feel my bones again pretty soon," she mentioned shifting her eyes to stare at her hand. Internally she wondered about these freak outs of Kou's which he had a lot, but she couldn't allow her mind to wander on the subject too much because the lad seemed to be so forceful about the platonic nature of their relationship. She pushed for this a bit as well, not wanting to be seen as one of 'those' girls. Whatever the case, their adventure could start back up again at any time, and as such she prepared herself for it mentally.
