Hey there! Lets meet up for some fun! Juuussttt not now, leave a message!

VOICE | TEXT | VIDEO | ACTION

yeah...I think you might be right, just really scared about it.

I wanted to practice before telling them, get it right.

Because...

[He hesitates sorting his own feeling on it. His eyes watering up a bit]

For the first time in so long...I love them, even though everything hurts soo much, I'm just realizing now that I love them.

[Li-Na smiles]

Then it will be okay. Love speaks volumes, even more than we can sometimes say ourselves.

[He hugs himself, his voice turns tender]

I hope so, I really do. Cause I have no idea what words I'm going to use, when I tell them.

[He looks at Li-Na with a smile]

I promise you Li-Na...One of these days, I'm going to get better. Like you did.

[One of the most important things to learn in ballet is how to not let your own emotions show on your face as you dance. People should never see the physical strain in on your face, only the emotions of the character you're portraying. And it takes every bit of her training to keep her confusion from showing on her face whenever Al mentions things that just don't make sense.]

You will. But not because of anything I said, but because you decided you want to.

[she pats his shoulder]

Now. I need to go, but will you be okay? Can you get home alright?

[He smiles and looks hopeful, way better then when they first sat down. Her showing faith in him, even after just blowing up. Fed something that he needed, he didn't know what. But his heart didn't feel so empty.]

Thanks Li-Na, your a better friend then I deserve. Now I seriously have to make sure I do, I can't make you waste the faith your putting in me.

Yeah, I will be alright. Say sorry to Sakura for me will ya? I...I don't think I can face her for a while.

Maybe try to have a little faith in yourself, too? Other people having faith in you is nice, but only by having some faith in yourself will you be able to do anything. And I'll tell Sakura.

[she stands up and brushes a few cupcake crumbs off her skirt]

Try to stay out of trouble for a while?

I don't even know how you see the good in me, when everyone else just sees a problem, and they aren't wrong.

But I promise I will try.

[He swings his legs under the bench to quickly get up ]

In the meantime, I'll manage to stay out of trouble for a bit, Retrospec willing. Thanks for everything. I owe you a butter beer or two, so don't spill on yourself, at least until I get some napkins.

[The spilling part was said in a light teasing tone]
