It was good to know that Yuki understood the situation. Rina wouldn't want every interaction to involve relationship stuff in any serious context. At least now, if it is brought up again, Rina will know not to take it seriously - assuming she remembers that detail in the moment.

Continuing the conversation on celebrity break-ups, Yuki mentioned a certain star who was mentioned on a music podcast, which caused her music sales to double. Rina was more shocked than Doku was - if only by a little. It never even occurred to her as to why fans and the rest of the general public would lend the additional support to such a degree.
"Seriously!? I didn't hear about the double sales part. ...That's insane~...."
The redhead seriously underestimated the hustle of celebrities.

Later, Yuki declined the offer of pizza, as she confirmed that she had dinner waiting for her, back home. "Aaaw, too bad.... Oh well; maybe another time, then, or something." It really was too bad that she had to go so soon, but the redhead understood and didn't want to hold her if she had somewhere else to be. Thinking about that, she assumed Yuki had someone bring her here. In that case, the person must have been waiting for a little while now.

With the girl saying her goodbyes, Rina raised her arm up above her head; "Bye, Yuki! Take care~!"

Rina slumped a little, being more relaxed as Doku's sister left the dorm room. She sat silently for a bit as Doku spoke up.
With a tilt of her head and a flick of her wrist, though, she brushed off his concerns.
"You're still on about that stuff...? You know that I know that she's just messing around, now, right? So you can stop bringing out the apologies, already," she said as she stood and straightened herself out. A sigh escaped as Rina then approached Doku, adding "I don't need to tell you not to take her seriously," before lightly punching toward his shoulder, "but quit worrying so much! ...'Kay?" She then backed off and moved to the side as she tacked on "Just roll with it! Clap back, or something! Don't get all embarrassed; make it into something fun!" all while not looking back in his direction.

Then, without much of a break:
"There. I said my piece."
She glanced back at him after pointing towards the door that she had moved in the direction of a moment ago.
"Washroom?"

Rina would then proceed to wherever Doku's washroom was.
"Let's get back to the game when I get back."

Responding to the loss of a date due to Yuki's teasing, as she stood up, Rina agreed and chuckled for a second, and was ready to give her counterargument, but as she was approaching Doku, the totality of his words finally sunk in, and it had to be addressed. She flinched when it hit and she took a step back as if to be wary of his power level.

"---!!! Wait! There were other people!?"

The shock was legitimate. Within the assumed context, Rina took it to mean that Doku had courted at least 2 other girls before that last one. She already knew that Doku was trying at it - oh for sure! But to think... but to THINK that he actually had success three times...! Oh boy! Oh baby a triple! What a dawg! She underestimated his ability... and it was quite the gut punch...!

And yet, despite his efforts, his sister, Yuki, drove them all away, likely without much effort, too.
Yikes. That had to be rough for him. With that thought in mind, Rina decided to cut the guy some slack, though with the restrained smile, you wouldn't immediately think so.

A sigh escaped to match Doku's own. "Well still," she began, resuming her approach,
"I don't need to tell you not to take her seriously, but quit worrying so much! ...'Kay?" lightly punching his shoulder and continuing on from there.

Doku responded, speaking of insecurity, limited friends, and his enjoyment of the time he's spending with the girl in front of him.
"Well, two out of three of those I can relate to." She then paused. "...Maybe 2 'n' a half; everyone's gotta be insecure about something, right? Egh." She quickly shrugged it off with a smile before turning away.
"Anyway! There. I said my piece."

She then asked for the washroom, pointing to a certain door; Doku responded, with Rina reciprocating the nod and proceeding.

----------

While in the washroom, Rina had faintly heard the knocking on the other door. Was the pizza person finally here? She could hear brief muffled conversation, then the door closed. She assumed it was the pizza.

After ensuring to leave the washroom in more or less the state she found it in, she came out and spotted Doku with the pizza on his bed, the wafting scent of the food filled her nostrils and her soul.
Having understood her path of mobility, she closed her eyes and zombie-walked slightly more than halfway towards the scent origin. "Piiizzaaa...! PIIIzzaaa...!"
She opened her eyes and raised her arms higher, as if preparing to leap on top of the pizza box - but not. At that point, she could see what toppings Doku chose.
It was a peppewoni pizza.
Her arms descended...
and as they reached a slice of the pizza, she uttered a guttural "Thank yooou...!" a pizza zombie's appreciation as she carefully tore the slice off from the remaining whole and sat where she originally did. She was careful to avoid any major pizza messes, like touching anything other than the pizza, crumbs on the ground, or say, the oiliness dripping from the end of the pizza. Rina used both hands to avoid sullying the room in any way.

"I commend you for playing it safe. ---With the peppewoni choice," before taking a bite."

Rina nodded and audibly grunted in agreement with the Silvolver student as she ate; only weirdos don't like pepperoni pizza!
When Doku brought up the possibility of being 'that guy' who gets pineapple pizza, the Legold lass, with eyes closed, could only grin cheekily as she chewed. After a second, she wagged a finger, ultimately stalling for time so that she could swallow.

Her eyes opened, springing to life. "It's not bad, actually! Like, why do people hate pineapples on pizza so much, anyway?? I don't get it. It's sweet and tastes good, right? And it lightens the strong pizza flavour a bit, too. ...---And if you save the pineapple pieces for after, they kinda reset the taste in your mouth," speaking from experience, no doubt. "I think they mesh just fine, if you ask me."

-----------------

When she was asked what time it was and when she was leaving, the orange-haired teen took that as her cue to not overstay her welcome. Maybe it was the way he said it, or just the words he chose, but it sounded like maybe he was getting worn out? Rina wouldn't blame him if that was the case. With how much Yuki's teasing got to him, that might've sapped his energy down to minimum. The grape-haired teen then added that they could definitely save their game and plan to continue another day - further cementing Rina's assumptions. Well, with the pizza in front of her, she wasn't about to leave right away, nor did she think that Doku expected her to.

The redhead looked around for the time, and when she found it, she let him know. Then, regarding the inquiry on her visit, she stated "I can stay, like, another hour, I think - maybe an hour an' a half...? ...Time sure flies, huh?"

With Doku seemingly serious about the pineapple on pizza issue, Rina, at first, could only give him a disbelieving, analyzing gaze, accompanied by a smirk. A few seconds later, with a faint feeling of uncertainty setting in, she finally responded with "Are you for real, right now??" She wasn't wholly believing his shtick, but there could be a hint of truth in it, which allowed that uncertainty to creep in.
He didn't say anything for a bit as he was still eating his pizza. As such, with him not staying anything after the first portion, Rina craned her neck a bit, turning her face slightly away from him, but still eyeing the boy in the same fashion. Was he really snubbing her? Naw! ...Right?

Before long, apparently after consuming the pizza, he released a laugh that, while annoyed the girl minutely, infectiously caused Rina to chuckle as she let off a mental sigh of relief.
At the same time, from where she sat, she bounded up and toward Doku to punch him in the shoulder, grinning all the while. "Buttmunch! I almost thought you were serious! Y'loser! .... Gimme this," taking another slice with a chuckle before dropping back down to where she sat. Still smirking in disbelief that she let him fool her in the slightest, she shook her head.

---------

For the time being, Rina had all the pizza she was willing to take. She left to wash her hands, then she returned to Doku doing something on the phone while eating. She chose not to disturb him, thinking that he'd get back to the game once he's ready. The redhead sat facing slightly more towards the computer, looking at things on the screen - and stuff around the computer setup. Every once in a while, Rina did glance back, curious as to what the teen was doing, exactly, but the first few times, she didn't say anything, though she was beginning to wonder.

After being asked what time it was, etc., and responding the way that she did, Doku told her anything was good except a sleepover.
Rina blinked. "! ...Oh. No? ...Okay...." She glanced away. "...So much for that, then."
Then, almost as quickly, she clapped her hands together and perked up. "Alright! Let's get in another hour or so o' this thing!" shuffling closer to the computer. "Finish your pizza and let's go!"
