[So in other words, Zaveid thought someone had been laying it on thick. Based on his explanation, to her his actions were reckless but not unreasonable, then.]
If you still have doubts, I can boss you around. You can do errands and all sorts of degrading work for me until you get so irritated you know this has to be reality.
[Is she serious or being cheeky, who knows with Rin...]
[She pulls the blankets up around her with her one good arm, and turns to lay on her one uninjured side. She grunts like it's not exactly... comfortable. But having to constantly lie on her back or sit ramrod straight for so long makes her feel cramped and needing to stretch, so it's preferable.]
You can't put it off for too long, you know. It's an unfair situation, but for every day you avoid them, your stress is going to increase too.
[ ... Is she saying he's got it bad as in he's handling this terribly (true), or that he's ridiculously head over heels for the pair of them (also true).
Zaveid can't tell and he's not that interested in asking to find out. Because its both, and .. he didn't realize he's that transparent to ... anyone who wasn't as naive as Sorey. Or maybe Sorey saw bits of it too, but was just too nice to actually ask or point them out.
He doesn't know-
A noisy exhale. ]
I know. Probably won't last much longer than a week.
[This is sarcasm. Zaveid, even a week is kind of long for these things...
Then again, who's she to talk? For all she likes to approach things head on, even for her there are certain people she can't be straightforward with. Rin sighs, speaking seriously again.]
It's not my business, so you can do as you'd like.
[ Look, time doesn't normally matter to him, Okay? Okay. ]
You can kick me out after a day or two, if you want. [ Not that... Rin herself can actively kick him out. A lot of the power in these Pacts rests with him, because they were designed that way. ]
["If" being the key word in that. She mumbles something under her breath shortly after that, actually; it's hard to make out, but it sounds like, "I'm surprised that you are."
Rin thinks to ask him about it, actually, but decides it would be too embarrassing. She'd have to admit just how poorly she feels. Here she's sitting in the infirmary with two broken ribs, and a arm that's more bruises, stab wounds, and muscle and nerve damage than flesh. It's painful, and worse than that it means she's not leaving here for at least a week.]
We'll trade. You can fetch me tea and give me privacy when I want it, and I'll read you bedtime stories when you get bored.
[HE'S GOING TO GET SO BORED. Or maybe that's just her. When Sakura isn't here or other surprise visitors, she's bored.]
I'm tempted to ask to be ones you heard from your home... but I'm also not sure I really wanna know terribly much more. [ What he'd slowly pieced together of how her world is. He kinda... could slip back into not liking humans. ]
But go for it anyway, if you want. Familiar is easier, eh?
[ Rin underestimates his ability to just Nope out of consciousness for a while. Its a lot easier when he's got a vessel. ]
Idiot. I wouldn't tell you personal ones. Those are [haha] personal.
[She traces figure eights into her bedsheets.]
My world has miles and miles of stories, you know. There's new ones that are written every day, but also myths and legends that have been passed down for centuries. They're rich with culture and thrilling heroics — seriously, you have no idea what'd you be missing out on.
[Admittedly, a lot of them are tragedies... Surprise, heroes and famous historical figures don't always get a happy ending. But she smiles anyways, thinking about it, mumbling into her blanket.]
Because of my training, I'm familiar with lots. It'd be harder to find something you wouldn't like, I bet.

I'd... rather not face them again, at the moment.
Maybe later I can fetch you tea.

[What, really? Rin blinks at the ceiling.]
Jeez, you really do have it bad...
