Natsumi had wandered into her bathroom to find a towel, looking around... Wait, she only had one didn't she? Well techncially she had two but the other one was dirty, and partially wet.. It wouldn't have been any use to Alec.
She paused her oh so serious thoughts as she rmembered Alec, glancing back to find him in her doorway. "Aah.. You can.. come in if you like... I will not take long..." She had debated offering, but once again... it would have been rude to let him freeze.
The duplex was kempt and tidy, everything tucked away neatly, the bed was made, a picture of her family that was set next to her bed seemed to be the only sign that someone actually lived in the room. That and a plant on the fridge.
She frowned at where she had placed her towels, a bit too short to reach the top shelf where she had stuffed it. She leaned up on her toes, trying to hook a finger tip on the cloth. Almost... almost... got it! She smiled in victory as the fluffy white towel fell into her arms. Though she missed the fact that her sweater seemed to have risen ever so slightly when she was streachign to reach.

Alec took note of the offer to enter her room and meant to, but his foot just didn't seem to want to step over the threshold. Finally he was able to gather the guts to walk in but even after that, he remained quietly closer to the door than anything else in the room.
He watched her mutely as she searched for an adequate towel, taking a short scan of the contents of the room and finding nothing in particular that he could focus his sight on. As his eyes ran a full circle around his surroundings, they ended up landing on Natsumi just as she reached for the towel in the hard-to-reach area. The way her sweater had moved, it appeared to finally fail in concealing what she had tried so hard to hide.

Natsumi turned with a smile, good... almost over. Now he had a towel to keep warm and even though she needed it back.. That would be simple, she'd just ask politely to go with him so she could have it back. The embaressing moments would soon be over... And she could let her teenage fast-beating heart rest. Not that she was really interested in him... the simple fact he was fairly attractive and a male was enough to get the flusterable Japanese-girl going.
"Here you go. But... Could I perhaps get it back? I could come with you and then you would not have to be cold." She nodded, as she handed out the fluffy white object. Yay for logic... Or something close to it.

Alec didn't mean to stare, he really didn't. At first he thought his previous theory had been confirmed, she was just self-conscious about having a little flub. He believed it for a moment until his logical mind finally began peicing together the bits of information she'd let slip throughout their conversation. The little 'bulge' seemed a lot more noticeable now even under her sweater, but he wouldn't dare ask.
"Thanks." He smiled a bit, accepting the towel and draping it over his shoulders.

Natsumi blinked, at first wondering if she had really embaressed him that much... He looked funny, and he was staring at her. She frowned in confusion, before it hit her... Crap. She knew raising her arm up too high would move the sweater, she had even been aware of that when she had waved to him.. but now... Her red face came rushing back, "I.. I..." An explination would have been good here.. before he thought she was some horrible woman. But there wasn't an explination, nothing other than 'yea i got knocked up back at home.' And that would defeat the original purpous of an explination.

Alec watched her expression change as if they'd both been able to read one another without saying a word on the topic, seeing the flustered and upset look in her eyes. Furrowing his brow, he began to shake his head. "Is ekay." He said rather sternly, trying to communicate that the situation indeed was alright. She didn't have to say another word, she didn't owe him anything, and if she wanted to keep it a secret he'd pretend like the best that he'd never learned a thing.

Natsumi seemed to relax some at that... still looking a tad nervious, but moreso in a state of hesitantly hopeful. The lack of actually having to say words seemed nice.. expecially since they seemed to have a language barrier between them. "It.. is?" she finally questioned after a moment of hesitation... Not sure if she wanted to double check and get him saying no he thought she was discusting. But.. he wouldn't say that, right? Atleast she hoped so.

Alec nodded quickly, trying to look as nonchallant as possible. "Ye.... ye." This was a little heavy. The fact that they were both shyly avoiding eachother like the teenagers they were a moment before seemed so frivalous now.
Fortunately, he was too care-free to take the newfound "discovery" to heart any more than he could any other late-breaking news on the island. She was pregnant. So what? Stranger things had happened. Perhaps he just failed to see what was so bad about it.

Natsumi seemed to be fully releived now... Smiling some to him before those teenage-shinesses kicked up again. He may have felt those thrings before were frivalous... but he was still in her room... Alone with her, and not wearing much. What if someone saw and thought something?
She locked her eyes to the floor, "A..Are you ready...?" she shifted towards the open door.

Alec snapped around towards the door, remembering why they'd come there in the first place. "Ye sure." He answered, grateful that that seemed to be over with.
Leaving the duplex, he tried to drape the towel to wear it as a sort of blanket across his shoulders although it was too short.
