This wasn't the case though, Alida seemed to be a mixture of emotions now. Her eyes were glossy and red from the amount of crying she had done today and the day before, but despite this, Izu couldn't help but think the distressed girl was cute. A small groan escaped from the young man as the flower drooped and then fell off entirely.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">All that work for nothing, damn</span></span>, thought Izu as he observed the flower.<br/><br/>Izu watched in curiosity as Alida dug a small hole for the flower, burying it and running her fingers over it. The young man half expected something magical to happen, as if a massive plant would spring from the hole and go straight through his roof. He was glad it didn't. It seemed that there was nothing Alida could do for the small flower. It wasn't a big deal to Izu, but Alida seemed to take it a bit harder. This became evident after she returned the plant to his window, then stormed over to Izu, grabbing him by the hair. He had been standing at that point, but was pulled down to her level as she shouted more words in her strange language. While they were obviously drunk and angry, they still had a strange allure to them.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Fine! Fine! Whatever you want, just let go of my hair! Ow! Ow! Ow!"</span></span>he said in a bit of a panic before Alida finally released him.<br/><br/>That little outburst pissed him off a little. Here he tried to fix the plant because it was obvious that he had done something bad in her eyes, then she goes and hurts him? Izu didn't understand it, what was the big deal? It was just a stupid plant, no something that actually mattered. It was at this moment that Alida seemed to get distracted by the outside world. Whatever had the girl so upset before was now obviously not on her mind. She turned to the young man and was full of excitement and happiness, though Izu was not. His eyes were half open and he had an unpleasant scowl on his lips.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Oh? What's this? You want to go outside?"</span></span>he asked in a mocking tone, pointing out the window.<br/><br/>Izu walked over to the window and forced himself between Alida and the outside world, leaning down so that he was right in her face.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"You're naked Alida. N-A-K-E-D. You can't just go outside without any clothes on. It isn't right."</span></span>He said, her whiskey tainted breath hitting his nose. It didn't bother him though, the smell of whiskey was something he was accustomed to now.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Had you not acted like a child, maybe I would have gave you some clothes."</span></span>he said, snapping the elastic of his boxers before turning and shutting the blinds on his window. It wasn't wise to go outside anyways, the overexcited girl would probably just rip open her wing again. It didn't seem like she was understanding what Izu was getting at though.<br/><br/>Izu seemed to grow a little more irritated.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"You can't go outside without clothes on. You know, clothes."</span></span>He said, pointing at a pile of dirty laundry.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"I won't stop you though. If you want to leave, then go for it. Just don't come back."</span></span>he said, his lips only an inch or so from her own.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"It's up to you, Alida."</span></span>he said, leaning back against the wall, watching the girl to see what she would do. Part of him wanted Alida to understand that he thought it was unwise to leave the house when she was still injured. The other part gave no fucks and wanted her to leave so he could be done with her. He assumed he would get nothing in return for his hospitality anyways, so the less he had to spend on her was probably better.
