[She bites her lip, looking worriedly between them, but Rei's answer assures her just a little.]

Soon.

[And then she's focused back on Usagi.]

C'mon, sit with me? I meant to tell you earlier...ah, it just got so chaotic back there. Are you mad?

[Usagi peeked her head in further, just a sideways floating head at the moment as she gazed at her best friends. She saw how uncomfortable Rei was, though and bit her lip as she opened the door a bit wider and came back inside, little by little, and finally shutting the door behind her.]

Rei-chan, it's okay, I- I just didn't... I mean, I hang off of Mamo-chan all the time. No- it- it was just a surprise! You shouldn't hold back on that kind of stuff! I certainly don't. [That probably wasn't helping but she didn't want either of her friends to feel like they had to hide something. Especially not from her. But then, Rei left and Usagi visibly pouted.]

Rei-chan wai- [The door shut and her hand lingered in the air before falling. She turned to Minako, coming over to her and sitting beside her. She frowned.]

I'm really really so so sorry about interrupting, Minako-chan, I swear I don't... I don't mind going! [She was glad to see her friends finally realized their attraction for one another was mutual, she just hadn't meant to promptly kill their mood. She wanted to make a joke about the two most beautiful women in Verens being off the market, but with how Rei reacted... she was clearly too upset for such a joke.]

So ah... um, what exactly did you want to tell me, besides uh... being together? [There was a very brief moment of panic they were going to move out together and she was going to be alone in the apartment again and she tried very very hard not to let such a thing show because she wanted to support them in this, especially since both Rei and Minako had trouble with love in their own ways. At the mention of her being mad her eyes widened and she grabbed Minako's hand.] No no! Of course I'm not mad! Why would I be mad! You both seriously deserve to be happy! I'm really so glad you two are together! [But she was worried that they were moving out or were going to ask her to move out.]

I'm not mad, not at all. I know you'll make each other so happy and feel so loved! Are... are you mad at me for... for ruining the moment? [Rei left... REI LEFT... Was she really that mad? Usagi wanted to bolt again, and she knew she could easily out run Minako if she put enough energy in it. Why did Rei leave?

Was Rei that mad at her? But she hadn't known... Should she knock from now on? Usagi tried very hard not to panic as she kept glancing at Rei's room, her hands tightening on Minako's.] Maybe I should go... until... I could just... get dinner at a friends! [Just how mad was Rei?]

No, you don't have to go!

[Minako clung tight to her hand, holding her down. That wasn't the message she meant to send at all.]

Rei just needs some time, okay? You'll see her soon and things will be fine.

As for us? Well. Yeah, that's what I wanted to tell you. That that...happened, but you're our princess and best friend and we're gonna be here with you like always, okay?

[She tried to smile, but that red was still on her cheeks.]

[Minako tightening her grip might have been the only thing keeping Usagi in the apartment. She bit her lip.] I... I didn't mean to... [She swallowed. But tried not to get more upset at Rei just up and leaving.

At the mention of them not moving, a heavy weight was lifted off and she smiled. She tightened her grip on Minako's hands and was quick to hug her.]

I really... you're my precious people, I support you both 10000%. [She could hear Ami in her head telling her that that wasn't an actual percentage but whatever. She tightened her hug around Minako.] You... you won't move out and leave, though right?

[Oh, Usagi. Minako held her tightly, tucking her head against Usagi's shoulder.]

No, of course not. No way are we leaving you alone...we're big girls, we can figure this out without shutting you out, hm?

[She hugged Minako and closed her eyes, smiling.]

Ah well, big girls with adult needs, I really don't mind heading out to give you guys privacy when you need it.

[She laughs and squeezes Usagi tighter.]

You're the best. But don't forget that we love you just as much, okay? We'll always be here for you.

And I'll be here for the both of you. [She took a deep breath, smiling. And then she remembered-]

OH! I almost forgot! The reason I even rushed home! A customer told me about this house in their neighborhood someone just moved out of!

Whoa, really? A whole house?

That's right! And after I talk to Rei-chan, we should figure out a day to check it out before someone else snatches it up!

Okay! I can get there after work...tomorrow? The next day? Rei can't hold out that long, right?

I'll talk to Rei, see what's wrong and then talk to her about the horse.
