[Her name is cute. It's a normal enough name, if foreign. No one would ever call Ruby something like "Awkward!" at a coffee shop... because Aqua would kill them.]
...Unfortunately, if you explained it to her, I have a feeling she would.
[They're on the same wavelength. Aqua can only imagine what would happen if Ruby and Hibiki actually met.]
[ Forget just friends, if Ruby were to find out how good of a singer Hibiki is, there's a nonzero chance she'd start trying to recruit her as an idol... not that Aqua knows either. It just hasn't come up yet! ]
But anyways... why were you freaking out so much? Don't tell me... Aqua-kun, are you jealous?
[Hibiki's cute enough. Aqua wouldn't protest. Much.]
No.
[Xion is his new sad twelve-year-old, ugh! (Even if she isn't twelve.) He sighs over the phone.]
Xion-chan and I are friends. She wanted advice about your date, but I remembered you have a girlfriend, so I needed to make sure I understood the situation.

Aww, well don't worry about that! It's just a girls date! I've gone on those with Miku and my other friends, too. It's lots of fun!
[ She even outright calls them dates and everyone just goes along with it! Lots and lots of fun. ]

All right. Thanks for clearing that up, Tachibana, and you two have fun on your date.
[He's such a dad, gross.]
