[ A hesitant nod. Once again, Venti has gotten a lot better about running away from his problems. He’s even talked to Mizuki about a lot of them and made so, so much progress. But there’s still a lot more to make and he is hurting. He doesn’t need to imagine how Jinx feels. ]

I… I understand if you don’t want to see me anymore, either, ‘cause of him, but if it’s all the same to you… can we still be friends?

I...dunno about that either, yet. I tried to take a friend's advice to work it out with Venti and keep being his friend but...

(a pause before sighing.)

It's just too damn hard. I've been tryin' to rush all of this 'cuz I want it all to be over with. But... guess this is somethin' you can't go fast with? Which sucks 'cuz I'm use to the fast and crazy stuff.

Guess what I'm sayin' is I need time.

[ There's a tiny, guilty look at the ground as he pulls his hands away from her. ]

That's alright. And if the answer ends up being no, that's okay, too. But, um... whatever the case is... I know you'll find that happiness again soon enough.

[opheliac]

Yeah, thanks.

(a brief pause -- thinking she should just nothing else but decides to add:)

... And good luck with the fairy.

('you're gonna need it.')

[ Had Jinx come at some point before finding out what Venti did, he may very well have happily said he didn't need it. Maybe even fought to say that all he really cares about is that Venti is happy. And for a while, this was true. Mizuki's own happiness didn't really matter to him, because he always equated it to other people's happiness. But that broken trust like that? Hm…

He nods. ]

See you, Blinky.

(she flashes him a small smile before turning on her kneel. and as she walks off, she hopes up a peace sign as her way of saying, "see ya" back. thus the two of them are now on their separate ways but surely, they will meet up again. who knows? maybe the bard will do yet another dumbass thing that will bring them together again for another chat.)
