[ would have been funny for her to die a third time ]
Ah.. I'm okay. I.. stabilized enough with the pod, before we were locked out. And I think.. someone used a power, since they're a bit more healed up today.
[ she still moves like she's being careful with her injuries, and one of her wings doesn't move all too much but. she's got more color on her cheeks? though she also has some black feathers in her plumage too. ]
[ he sees those black feathers! he worries. ] 's not just what I'm talking about, though. C'mere, come sit.
[ he patpats the spot down by him on the blankets! his emotions give off this nice, warm feeling of protectiveness - and there's a little bit of relief coursing through it, too. percy's still here. ]
[ there's confusion in her tone, feeling puzzled. but she does listen. she'll come to sit beside him at the spot. though she takes a moment to just sit, closing her eyes for a moment, as if familiarizing herself with the emotions she feels from him. to replace and bury her own. ]
[ familiar is good! he reaches out to give her a little poke, right at the heart! ]
Talking about this, too. [ his poor baby bird and her black feathers.
...but, ah! saying that reminds him of something. vax pauses and pulls out his phone, then unlocks it and turns it around so that meteion can see the screen. ]
Here. Got a special message for you from someone.
[ it says:
meteion i know i said wed be together today but... im sorry u know how we talked about how its hard to express ourselves sometimes and how were trying to understand people im not as good at it as u are especially when things go wrong i didnt want to make things worse by worrying knowing ud feel all of it and i needed to try to understand something u better be ok let people look after u and try to think about ur own feelings and not everyone elses ill see u as soon as i can -riff ]
[ such a nice little poke.. unfortunately, she winces at that. an almost panic-like emotion runs through her but when she remembers where she is, where they are- it's gone in an instant. instead, she's just surprised. ]
My.. heart? I think.. it healed, too. Since that's what... [ y'know, killed her. ]
...? [ bird head tilt. ] From someone?
[ she'll take a moment to read it, carefully reaching out for it to take a closer look. it takes her a moment- as if she's reading it again, rereading to make sure she takes in the words carefully and. well, there's gonna be some tears, i'm sorry you gave cute and she's crying and in a bit of pain but
there's a swell of affection, at least. understanding. gratitude. when she sees riff's message ]
[ i hate you so fucking much his emotions immediately swoop in distress to her panic, as he pulls his hand back as quick as he possibly can, making roughly a D8 face. no his BIRD AAAAA he hates the way that sentence could have ended, actually.
... once meteion settles, though, he looks a little bit less stressed, just frowning and unhappy, but lets her read the message. tears are fine! as long as they aren't tears of pain!!! the hand that hesitated in midair shifts and moves up to gently nudge at her cheek to wipe any tears away.
those emotions are better, at least. his shoulders slump, relieved, and vax gives her a little sile. ]
He was really glad to be able to send it, too. Figured I could play messenger.
[ a beat. ] 's what I mean by heart, really.
...He's right. [ vax tilts his head a little, to gently catch her eyes. ] You can take care of your own emotions, too, you know. You've got a lot of people who love you you can lean on, yeah? Riff. Bass. Clarte.
[ a gentle pinch to her cheek UNLESS THERE'S AN INJURY THERE, ZETSU, ILL KILL YOU. ] Me. Just gotta let us be there for you. Okay?
[ I'M SORRY, I DON'T CONTROL THE DI(C)E AND OTHER PLAYERS?!
Meteion leans into the touch when he nudges and wipes at her cheeks, having a small smile on her face. ]
Was he? [ mm, she wishes she could have felt it. though she gives another curious look at the mention of her heart. ] Like... feelings?
[ blue eyes, though clouded and a little empty earlier, have a bit of that brightness back. though the mention of love- and those named, her cheeks gain a rosy color. she almost seems sheepish. ] I.. try. Since I've been created, I'm.. a being of emotions, you know? I'm used to feeling a lot, from others. I haven't really.. needed to take care of my own.
[ looks at my list uhhh-- no you're fine, her cheeks are okay. she did well to protect her face. not one of her wings but she doesn't control guns okay. ] ..Of course. I could never, turn any of you away. You've all let me be there for you...
I want to support and help you all, as much as you have for me.
that's much better - even a small smile, even a little bit of warmth in her blue eyes makes vax feel a little more settled. his emotions swell a bit, warm with some of that relief and fondness, and he tucks a little hair away from her face. ]
Took me a while to figure out how to deal with mine, and even now, I'm not that good at it. Think I'm still learning. So, we can learn together, huh?
[ vax returns that small, sweet smile with a small one of his own, a little lopsided. as he's fixing a piece of her hair that's all messy, though, he gets an Idea! ] ... You wanna learn how to do something with this? We can match.
Mm... we can learn together. I can help you, with yours, if you help me with mine?
[ she smiles a little more at the sight of his own smile. it doesn't completely get rid of.. what happened, plaguing her, but it does help her feel much better. to remind her.
though, she grows a little curious, one wing fluttering with thought. ] With.. my hair?
[ a deal. that warmth stays with that, with her smile, too. he's grown very fond of this baby bird.
things get a little brighter, a little less melancholy, with her curiosity, too, and vax's grin takes on a bit more mischief. ] Did it for a friend of mine, after a big fight - put it in little fun buns. [ as he lifts his own hands back up to put on top of his head, in the imitation of space buns!!! ] Little bit of preening, too.
After a fight..? [ her head tilts a little again. you.. fought them and then did fun buns? she's so pikagasp. there really are different kinds of people.. ]
...Oh! Those seem cute! [ she nods a few. ] It sounds good with me. It's been a while since we've last preened one another..
