Emma nodded and giggled a little. "Yeah, why not? Everyone loves Ski Ball!" With that she skipped over to the Ski Ball games and stuck one of her quarters in. "Here, there's a free one right next to me." She said, pointing Hajime over to the empty space beside her.

It seemed as though Hajime's hand-eye coordination was going to be tested today. Not that the idea was particularly troubling; he wasn't bad at sports, he just didn't like them all that much.
The Tora popped some quarters into the game and waited patiently as the foreground of balls slid down towards his hand. He grabbed the first before remembering to make conversation (this whole talking concept wasn't entirely natural to him yet).
"So how have things been?" he asked, figuring that was probably a pretty good question to go with.

Emma started her game, answering Hajime in between her tosses. "Well, I guess it could always be better, but everything's pretty good for the most part." It wasn't too long ago that her parents told her and Tyler about their past, and how Daemon's family was connected to them. While she had managed to get over the general shock, it was just hard to look at Daemon in a positive way(well, harder than normal).
Another worry struck her and she glance over at Hajime. "Hey, you see Roman a lot... How's he doin?"

Hajime opened his mouth to say that he seemed okay before remembering the nasty fight with Artemis from not too long ago. He knew that Roman getting violent wasn't hugely unusual (he'd heard plenty of people talking about the poor guy), but it still seemed as though the Spiers girl had done a particularly good job at gettig under his roommate's skin. Hajime really didn't want to worry Emma, but it would also be unfair to keep her in the dark about the whole ordeal.
"He seems alright for the most part." He tossed a ball. "It's just... Well I guess that Spiers chic really has it in for him or somethin'. She was going out of her way to get to him a little while ago, and it really pissed him off."

Emma sighed and frowned, tossing another ball. "I was afraid of that..." She didn't want to say too much to Hajime and give him reason to worry, besides it might not even be worth worrying over. "I think he's getting worse, but I don't really know what do about it."

Hajime's expression darkened, but only slightly. He had to admit he was a little worried about Roman. He considered the Ookami a friend, and wanted to look out for him. "I wish people would stop giving him a hard time," the Tora sighed. Sadly that was out of his control. Teenagers were just programmed to be inherently awful to each other sometimes.
Hajime was quiet for a moment. "I think he should talk to someone," he quietly suggested. "It just seems like he keeps a lot of stuff bottled up." That plus a bad temper didn't typically have good results.

"Him and Perri both." Emma agreed. "They've both dealt with not having their actual father in their own way, they're not really the best either from that I've seen..." She sighed. "They've had people there for them, like my dad and uncle, but I guess it's not the same." She really didn't want to think of life without her daddy, she just couldn't imagine that.

"No. I guess it wouldn't be, would it?" Hajime had a hard time putting himself in those shoes. He'd grown up with two loving parents, more than could be said for quite a few people in Hatsu Itonami. His dad had grown up without a father figure, although he hadn't turned out anything like Roman had. Hajime supposed every case was unique, but that didn't make the concept any easier to wrap his mind around.

Emma finished her round of Ski Ball and shrugged. "Just... could you try talking to him? I don't know who else to turn to for this..." She rubbed her arms awkwardly and blushed a bit. "It would mean the world to me if you could at least try." Hajime was the only person she could really trust outside of her family when it came to this stuff.

Hajime nodded quickly. "Y-yeah, definitely. I'll try my best." He wanted to do what he could to help Roman out. And besides, he couldn't say no to Emma.

Emma smiled as Hajime replied, cheeks still a little pink as she giggled a little. "Thanks Haji, you're the best~" She honestly wanted to hug him right then, but she wasn't too sure if he would like that or if it would just make things awkward.

Hajime flushed slightly, but he managed to keep it from becoming apparent. "Don't mention it." He threw his last ball before turning to face his companion. His voice was quiet, but he tried his best to sound sincere. "And, uh, well if... if you need anything else, just let me know. Anything at all."

It wasn't that Emma was taken by surprise exactly, but the offer made her blush a little darker, and gave her this warm glow in her chest. She smiled wider, eyes soft as she replied. "Thanks, and the same goes for you. Don't be afraid to come talk to me." She enjoyed being with Hajime, he was sweet and overall just fun to be around.
After a few short moment of standing there Emma felt her stomach growl. "Um... You wanna grab something to eat?" She asked, a little embarrassed.

"Er... yeah." He realized that had sounded a tad unethusiastic, which wasn't how he meant it at all. The Tora quickly adjusted his tone. "Yeah. I'm kinda hungry myself, now that I think about it." Hajime gave a small smile. "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Emma blushed a tiny bit. Even as small as it was, Hajime had a really nice smile...
"I, uh," she mumbled for a second, trying to get her thoughts together. She gave it a moment of thought before shrugging. "Nothing in particular really, I just want food." she giggled and scratched her head a little at that. She wasn't a picky eater by any stretch of the word, so she tend to just eat whatever was given to her. "Let's just go find something!"
