[ Okay, they probably could have talked it over if it hadn't resulted in one of the most awkward and tense moments in her life, and ALSO ... a few days of extra awkwardness that followed thereafter.
Hard to talk about the logistics of a deal made with a healer-lady with all of that going on, okay.
Roommate is just so ... formal, you know? Like I know it's weird that we live together and it would be a complete scandal if this was home and not here and we were just living our lives normally. But we're here so circumstances are different or they should be different
[ ... so, it turns out Rumi is a little bit of a rage-texter once you get her going. Huh.
For a second there's silence as she types and deletes whatever she might have written next, and these aren't smart phones so there's no indication that the other person is still typing up a message.
And then: ]
Sorry
You don't even know me and I'm unloading on you ㅠㅠ
[ It takes her a second to sort through the messages anyway. The character limit means that they got sent out of order and she needed to piece it back together.
But long story short: wow. There's a lot she could point out. Even more she could use to tease. A few things she could probably take back to Jinu just to see what his reaction would be, should she want to. It's just that she doesn't; she's not that cruel. It sounds like she needed it. ]
considering all the things that happen here, i don't think sharing a room comes close to being weird. i've got one too

And speaking of which — oh, God. ]
Huh?
What do you mean?
[ When in doubt, play dumb. It's fine. ]
no subject
seems a lot to do for just a roommate, is all
you know it's alright if you're more than that [ What a clinical term, 'roommates'. ]
no subject
I mean, we're friends too
We're from the same world, it's how we know each other
And honestly? He's stupid calling me just a roommate, like that's actually kind of offensive
[ — whoops! Too late to take that last one back.
Okay, so maybe not totally fine. ]
no subject
just friends? [ She's 100% teasing now. And also accidentally walking into a landmine. Definitely fine. ]
no subject
What else would we be?
[ Colleagues??? Associates???
OTHER THINGS WE WILL NOT MENTION????
No landmines to walk into when the other party is big into denial of saying anything aloud, actually. ]
no subject
you should tell him to just call you a friend. people may get the wrong idea
no subject
I could
Maybe I should =.=

are you in the city tomorrow?

Also she can humiliate herself on many an occasion on her own without anyone else's help; it's just a matter of when and how badly.
Ugh. Too bad text-recall is not a thing. ]
You're right, it probably doesn't come close to weird
I'm probably overreacting
But you've got one too? Like, a roommate?
[ More importantly, the unsaid, 'guy roommate'???? is there in her message. ]
I am! I've got some errands to run so I'll be in the area
no subject
want to get coffee?
no subject
But obviously she is way more cool about it, which Rumi can tell through text alone. Yes. ]
Sure! That sounds nice
[ She can apologize (again), and also act a fool (again) in the flesh. ]
no subject
The last text from her is an address & some time they agree on, and a simple: ]
See you [ Then they probably gossiped about Jinu and Ardbert a little, the end!! ]
