I lend everyone my ear, but nobody my heart
and I sure would like to change that, but I don't know where to start

Hotaru grins as he badly muffles his laughter, clearly in agreement - and glad that he is amused in reaction to such an idea. Hotaru despises being looked down on, and while she does admittedly want someone who can protect her, unfortunately George is simply not on her power level, so the idea is even more preposterous.
"No. Which I'm sure will be your chance to tell me I should, but it feels both presumptuous and too soon given only two dates." Though she smiles wryly and kicks her legs idly off the edge of the climbing wall. "I haven't really dated before though, so maybe I'm going about it wrong." Then again Deimos hasn't either, as far as she knows - though his relationship with Evie is enviably solid, so maybe she should be taking advice from him. Recent advice of course. They've both suffered their mortal wounds of the heart in the past. "And as far as I know he doesn't train either."
Humming quietly to his last comment, Ru stares down at her feet. "Maybe. You know I don't see myself in nearly so positive a light." Though she tries, and growth is slow but not non-existent. "If my own mistakes can be forgiven, I believe his can be too. We're all just...trying to remember how to live these days." Some faster than others, and Ru can only see that Sunjata needs help, a hand to lift him out of that darkness the way Deimos had helped Hotaru out of hers. Or maybe she's just giving herself reasons to keep going back.
