[Ami put up a hand to stop any further statements from Rei, though the smile on her face was a gentle, and slightly amused, one.]

You're allowed to be in love, you're allowed to be giddy and in love, and passionate as well. It is to be expected, I suspect, considering who the two of you are. But you don't ever need to apologize for it. I'm a big girl, and I can handle two of my best friends being head-over-heels for one another. And! [She gave a sharp look, having a feeling Rei was going to try and interrupt.] I'm also perfectly capable of listening to music or visiting the library when the two of you want alone time. You don't need to schedule your feelings around my comfort, and it isn't any insult to give the two of you alone time.

[Rei diverts her gaze, actually, backing down. She let Ami talk, listening instead of arguing. It wasn't completely comfortable for her, thinking that she might be driving Ami out of their shared home, but at the same time? Rationally, she knew that Ami wasn't going to change.]

I understand. And I understand that yes, you are an adult. But inconveniencing you is the last thing that I want, so if it becomes a problem, please tell me? Because you're right. I am in love. I am giddy...and she's so passionate.

[allergictoloveletters]

It is no inconvenience. I am quite capable of voicing any issues I might have. [Well... she sort of is? She's getting better at mentioning things that upset her outside of people's lack of studying, in any case. She blushed but smiled at Rei's honest admission.]

I'm not going to stand in the way of love, not when I have sworn to protect it, just as you have, just as any senshi has. You two don't need my blessing, but really, I am happy for you. I think you're going to be good for one another.

[faithfulflame]

Thanks. Really.

[Ami's probably never really gotten to see Rei quite this way before, a little nervous, a lot of happy, and just a smidge giggily.]

Because even if I don't need your blessing? I want it anyway.

[Not on Rei, no, but the expression itself is not unknown to her. On more than one occasion, Usagi wore such an expression when she discussed Mamoru. Michiru and Haruka even had the expression though they'd likely never admit it.]

You have it, then. Both of you. I hope Minako knows she has my support as well?

[faithfulflame]

Oh I'm sure she does.

[Really, they're so lucky to have a friend like you.]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She smiles and nods, worried about Minako and how they didn't spend as much time as she and Rei did together.]

If there's anything either of you need, please let me know.

[faithfulflame]

Of course.

[Rei inclines her head and rises.]

I should...let you go back to work though. Someone has to make sure Nanoha-san doesn't demolish the place.

Have a good night, Rei-chan, sleep well. [She'll maybe sleep... maybe. She's done plenty of all-nighters before.]
