Replying...
Intro. Lucy sways back and forth under the kotatsu, clearly anxious. Her attention jumps from the television to Itharo, who is sitting on the couch behind her. She drums her fingers on the kotatsu and unconsciously bites her lip, gathering the courage for what she's going to say. Finally, he turns to face Itharo, trying to act as casual as possible despite his racing heart. "Hey…" She rubs her hands, suddenly self-conscious "I was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm not really sure who to ask and it's... a little embarrassing..." His eyes dart around Itharo's room, looking anywhere but directly at Itharo. The familiar environment helps her feel a little calmer. But the bedroom door being closed and locked carries implications that light a dangerous fire in your belly.
