"Well...she liked you enough to take you upstairs and leave me with the dishes," she notes simply, chewing her lip.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"You seemed so upset that I thought she just wanted to give you some space, or something..." Haruka replies awkwardly, scratching her chin idly at that.  In retrospect, she guessed it could have been construed as being kind of weird.
Liddo-kun: Bjorn is the rain gutter in which all the dirty thoughts of humanity flow into?
Bjorn: I prefer, instead, to think of myself as the crap that blocks the rain gutters, causing the dirty thoughts of humanity to back up, fill the streets, and flood your basements.

Anastasia

"Or something," Viluy comments, mood starting to darken.

Yes, of course....leave me alone while you run off with Haruka's attention. Wonderful, mother. Stupid bit....

Taking a breath to compose herself and bring her acidic line of thought under control, "Anyway," she puts on an at least half fake smile. "She should get to know you so it's an easy transition."

"Yes, dear," Haruka answers with a smile.  She plunges her hands into the pocket of her jacket as she stared distractedly at her breath fogging in the chill air.  To be honest, she was simply trying to keep from being distintegrated by Viluy's current... unhappy state.

You walk on a little more in a dually frigid silence, until Viluy takes your hand. "Thanks," she whispers. "You probably think I'm being silly with this, don't you?"

Sharing the warmth of their hands brings about a content air around Haruka.  "Not really," she tells Viluy.  "You want your mother's approval and acceptance.  I can understand that."

"I wonder if I would have done something like that for my mom..." she asked herself aloud in musing.

Smiling at your approval, "is...your mother still alive, or did she leave," Viluy asks carefully. "If she is, have you ever considered trying to find her?" So asking, she stays close to you and seems even happier now. Maybe not all fake, even.

"I'm not sure actually," Haruka says, a bit irritated by that fact.  "After all these years I still haven't gotten a straight answer from my father."

She shifts her gaze from Viluy to the cloudless night sky before bringing it back down to face her again.  "Whenever I try to touch on the topic, he gets moody and avoids me until I drop the issue..." she mutters with a cross look.

"I see..." she murmurs. "I..you should force the issue," she comments. "You should find out, even if it's a dissapointment. I know it might be, but...you might also meet a parent you like more, like...Dad," Viluy finishes.

Haruka noticeably doesn't agree or disagree, simply giving Viluy a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.  She squeezes the smaller girl's hands, urging her without words to cheer up, even if she herself didn't feel that same cheer.

Following along, Viluy seems to sense your reticence. "I won't try to force you, but...you should. You might meet someone wonderful, someone you wish you'd had all this time, or...still had," Viluy sighs slightly at that.

After letting some silence hang long between them, "I always just imagined that my mother would be dead," she begins with some hesitation, unsure if she wanted to continue, "but if she's not, it means there's a chance that she didn't even... want me."

A silent nod there, then, "I don't think any mother wouldn't want their baby. She might have been scared, or confused or just too young to support you," she offers. "I don't know if I could keep a baby if I got pregnant right now. I'm only 16!"

"I suppose," Haruka replies noncomittally, which seemed to speak volumes to what she felt about that notion.  She gives Viluy a wan smile, "I thought I got over this a while ago, but I guess I still want to know even if a part of me doesn't want to.  But everytime I see anyone with their mother it just kinda... comes out."

"...Haruka," Viluy says finally, stopping as you begin to get close to your apartment. "If it's still bothering you, you should try. Take the plunge," she urges. "Even if you get along with her as I do my Mom, you still filled that hole, right?"
