Nine
[It's moving day.
It took her a while to think about it, and another while to really decide, but after more than enough talking to herself on the matter, Raven is moving out of building two and into an empty room in Leon's house. Maybe they aren't family anymore; it doesn't matter, Raven is sick of living so completely alone, with an empty floor and emptiness all above her, too.
Maybe she isn't so thrilled to have Sokka and Ikki's noisy house as close neighbors...but maybe she's also kind of glad for it. For the closeness of people she canpretend to teeter on the edge of trusting. Kyle will also be closer to Soren and she thinks that'll do her good.
She didn't think to warn Leon of any of this beyond a short message this morning, so at least the first part of her day involves a long walk carrying a few packed boxes. Kyle follows along behind, half-carrying a drawstring bag of things - it's not a very heavy bag, she's just being lackluster about it. It is a distance to house 59 and Raven keeps turning around to offer encouragement.]
You like Leon. It'll be okay. [Never mind all of her own private apprehension. As she passes through the plaza she looks at Slash 'n' Crash with a sigh, wondering if they found her note about being busy with moving and coming to work late.
Once Leon's sorted out her moving issues, though, she walks through the smithy door looking...content. Maybe smiling. Depends on who's in there.]

I want you to be here. Even if it was weird, I wouldn't complain about it because it's so trivial in comparison to you being here.

She remembers waiting for him to come home, on the day she was fired from a car garage what is a car garage that no longer exists, anxious and upset and so very sure she would disappoint him.
I want you to be here.
Though it's different than it was the last time someone said a similar thing, it only takes two steps to close the distance and one breath to hug him.]

Up until the situation with the elaborate Shift, the shows of emotion from Raven were restrained or small in some way. To have her hugging him in this way...
Well, he can only hug her back, his face a bit flushed.]
H-- hey, I don't think I'm saying anything groundbreaking here...
no subject
Sorry.
[And she lets him go, red-faced, shifting around without really moving.]
no subject
...It's okay. Come on, I can show you around a little more now, if you're ready.
[And he'll do that just that if she has no complaints.]
