Sitting across from Lisa, Kaname watched her as she ate her sandwich and then began to drink her hot chocolate. He would admit, that there was something about his ward that was...well...enigmatic. He wasn't sure exactly sure what it was about her that made him think that- perhaps it was the strangely odd few moments of clarity before she seemed to forget everything about her previous life all over again.
Or perhaps it was simply that he didn't know the most basic of information about her. Her favorite color, food, drink, music ect. But then with her memory being affected by her injuries he wasn't all that sure that she would recall those things, at least not until he tried asking.
So that's what he did. He asked.
"What's your favorite color?"
He had absently noticed earlier that a majority of the clothing that she had picked out for herself was either black, white, different shades of emerald, jade, or mint green. Or scarlet, garnet, or light red. Powder blue, cream, lavender and violet. Different shades of sky blue, sapphire, azure, teal and turquoise. And while he knew that people sometimes had more than one favorite color, but he doubted that anyone would have so many favorite colors from both ends of the color spectrum.
Lisa put her drink down and seemed to think for a moment before saying, "White. But I also like turquoise, cream, lavender, violet, teal, and red. But I also like black and green too. What about you? What's your favorite color?"
Kaname blinked at her question and then gave her a tightlipped smile before replying. "I'm a fan of black. But I also like white and red." Lisa cocked her head a little bit as she looked at him as he then asked. "Now, what's your favorite food?"
"Dunno. But I'm not picky. Though I am fairly fond of salads, soups and chicken glazed in seafood scampi sauce with a side of caesar dressing." Kaname's lips quirked in amusement.
"That's very specific."
"It's one of my many default foods. Well that and sandwiches."
Kaname arched a brow at her as he asked, "Oh? Any other default foods?" To which Lisa replied without thinking.
"Chicken flavored ramen noodles with honey mustard."
"Sounds..." Well, it sounded somewhat nice and disgusting all at once to Kaname. But he didn't wish to offend so after a moment or so of grappling with his words, he finally said. "Interesting."
"Hn," Lisa hummed before saying. "I usually eat it if I'm feeling depressed, or if I'm on a diet."
"There will be no diets in your future. You're far too thin as you are." Kaname said with a note of displeasure in his voice.
Lisa blinked at him as she looked down at herself and subtly studied the slender delicateness of her wrists, hands and fingers. She knew that she had always been petite, a little bit on the small-ish and delicate side but she had always been a healthy weight. One hundred and twelve- fifteen pounds, depending on how often and how well she ate.
And the few times she did diet- it was usually only for a week or so and mostly because- because... Lisa frowned when it occurred to her that she didn't know why she did it. Maybe it was just a female thing. Maybe it was something else entirely. She just didn't know.
She felt a cool hand against her cheek, and nearly jumped out of her skin as her eyes flickered up to Kaname's face to find that it was his hand against her cheek, his thumb lightly stroking her skin. "Your upset." Kaname said softly as he removed his hand from her cheek before saying, "Forgive me. It was not my intention to upset you with my words."
"Huh? Oh. No your fine, really. I was just thinking that your probably right. Between the time I appeared here and now- I've obviously lost more weight than I should have."
"It's because you've been injured."
"I know."
"Speaking of injuries, are you in any pain?" Kaname asked her curiously. After all, she was injured and he had been expecting her to feel pain- if not a little bit of discomfort during their outing. Especially since she'd been up and moving around for a little over an hour now.
"No not really. Just some slight discomfort."
"Discomfort. Nothing more?"
"No."
Kaname peached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the small bottle of pain pills that the doctor had left behind for her and got one of the tablets out and broke it in half and gave it to her. "Here. Take this for now."
Lisa stared down at the half tablet for a moment before slowly saying, "I'd really rather not."
"And I'd rather you didn't feel pain when you could at least be comfortable. Now, please take the pill." It was an order, softly spoken velvet over steel. And the look that Kaname gave her was almost as if he dared her to disobey. After all, even if she did disobey him- he could force her compliance. He just hoped that it didn't have to come to that.
Sighing Lisa regarded him for a moment before reaching out and taking the half tablet from him and popping it in her mouth and swallowing it before looking away from him inwardly seething.
Christ she hated drugs.
Especially pain pills since they became somewhat addictive if one wasn't careful.
Sensing her earlier good mood beginning to change, Kaname looked down at the pill bottle in his hand and frowned a little bit wondering what he had just done wrong.
