xp_logsKevin tries to remedy the hanging out neglect thing he and Nori have been pulling off and ends up offering homework help
In an effort to make good on his statement that they should hang out more Kevin decided to leave the empty guest room he'd taken up residence in and went in search of Nori. On the bright side he hadn't run into her with her tongue down Julio's throat, which was a sight he was pretty sure he could live without because it was Julio. Now if Nori wanted to have her tongue halfway down Laurie's throat that was an entirely different matter. God, Kevin might officially have a shiny, new happy place with that thought. Because of it he had a rather stupid and all-too-male grin on his face when he knocked on the door to the suite Nori shared with people like Yvette and Jennie and Laurie... Oh yeah, definitely his new happy place.
"Hai, hai! Come in!" Nori called out from where she was lying on the couch, feet twitching a mile a minute as she halfheartedly tried to work on her homework. Not that she gave whoever was at the door enough time to follow her instructions; she was up off the couch and across the room before the door was even partway open, an a gust of air puffed out past Kevin. "Ah! Hello!" she chirped.
His hand hadn't even made it to the doorknob before the door began to open. Nori was so perky and it was getting disturbing. She was possibly the only person he expected to ever be more gloom cloud laden than himself. She was like one of those little hello kitty dolls or something right now though. There was half a grin on his face when he asked, "Has it been a while since you discharged or are you like on a permanent caffeine high?" As always, talking to Nori scaled his adopted composite accent back down to his natural Atlanta accent of soft vowels.
Noriko actually rarely descended to the depths of doom cloudiness that Kevin reached; her downs tended more towards sullen and uncommunicative. Or furious to the point of throwing things. "Mou..." she said, making a face. 'Caffeine' was an unfamiliar word, but she was good enough now to spot the similar root to 'coffee'. "Nori is not drink coffee. Never ever ever is can not. Coffee is more buzzzzzz." But the way she held that 'z', and the bouncing in place, meant Kevin's first guess was probably right.
"Fer the record? You on coffee is now the most terrifying thought in the world right after your aim when throwing things at me." But he gave her a wide grin when he said it. If she needed to discharge at least she wasn't at the terminally insane point of needing it. The bouncy, chirpy point of needing discharge kind of worked for her, really. "What're you up to? Figured Ah'd escape the solitude an' bug you."
"Was to plan go to run," Nori said, moving back so Kevin could actually come in. "But Nori is has many homework." Her English had improved vastly, in that she almost always remembered that there should be tenses in her verbs. Keeping the tenses straight, though, often eluded her, and prepositions were impossible, particularly when she was this buzzed.
Kevin was mostly grateful he could actually understand most of what Nori said now. Bad English was easy to handle, the two words of frustrated English in the middle of a litany of frustrated Japanese she spouted off when they'd first met? Not so easy to handle. "Which class is it? Or classes, Ah guess. Maybe Ah can help." It wasn't like it'd been that long since he was in high school, and he did manage to pass it so in theory he could be helpful. In theory he might suck as a teacher, too.
Nori wrinkled her nose. "Really, is not want to study..." Of course, that was part of the problem.
"Wanna be in tenth grade again? Ah bet ya don't. 'Sides it's probably not even that hard if you have a non-teacher type explain it," he pointed out. Kevin nudged her with his arm toward the couch with the books sprawled open on it. "Just think how much you'll hate summer if you end up in school the whole time."
She flopped back onto the couch with a sigh and waved her science text at him. "Hai, dozou..."
