[It doesn't take long, anyway, Maka is nothing if not prompt. When she arrives, she takes her place and leans on the table with her chin in her hands. The business she's currently thinking of is bizarre, yes, but talking about Soul with Rin reminds her of something--]
Ah, by the way, I finally told Soul that he didn't need to keep saying that stuff about me.
[What she doesn't say is "because I already know."]
[That makes him perk up. He did feel bad knowing that he was likely causing rifts between friends, but he had stood firm in his assertion that Maka shouldn't be treated the way she had been.
Hopefully this was going to go somewhere good and not end in upset for all.]

Yeah? How... how'd that go?

[Honestly, Maka's still surprised at how it went. It was really that easy the whole time, just tell him to stop?]
He said he didn't know how it was, uh...affecting me and promised he'd do better.
[He didn't know, she says. What kind of moron doesn't realize that calling someone names hurts them?
...People from Death City apparently.]

Not the best answer, but Rin will take it. At least Soul is promising to do better.]
That's an improvement then. Glad to hear it.
