meteion | ★ two swords, a sl*t and a bird. ( surprise steel too)

[Itsuki will help lay out her FUTON, though he glances over at her wings]

Are you feeling okay? [WHY STATICKY?]

.. I'm okay. [ flashback to emet's group's return... she sparks a few frequent static, gray and almost a bit unsteady. ]

Maybe.. I did something wrong..

[...he lays out his futon next to hers and sits down, patting the space next to him.]

Wanna talk about it? Putting our heads together might help.

[ she carefully sits down, pressing against his side and resting her head on his shoulder. ]

I.. used a gumball earlier, on Sunlight. [ her hands rub at another anxiously. ] It's... meant to imbue someone with calm, and comfort, for a day. I couldn't find him earlier at his archway, so I was really worried, and when he saw Emet-Slech come back... he looked like, he was in so much pain.

[ her wings droop further, a black ink-like substance oozing from her wings. ] I.. thought maybe, it would help.

[oh, meteion... Itsuki curls his arm around her, ignoring the ink in order to pull her close to him. softly,]

...You wanted to help him. Out of all of us here... you know how much it hurts -- the sadness, and pain.

It... hurts. To not know, and then seeing someone you care deeply about, in pain...

[ it hurts a lot. countless times she has felt it back home, has felt it here. she really did just want to save him from at least most of that aching pain. maybe it would have been better without, but in that moment she could only think of comforting. ] ..I'm sorry.

[he's gonna kiss her on the forehead, birb...]

...There's so much here that we can't control, even though we try our best to. So I can't blame you for making that choice.

[it might have been wrong if seen at some angles, but... it's not as if Meteion elected to take the pain away forever -- and in the spur of the moment like that, seeing Bass so caught up in his pain... if Itsuki had that option, then he might have done the same thing.]

And Bass-chan will definitely hear you out, no matter what. Don't beat yourself up too much until then, okay?

[ her eyes become a little teary at the kiss, but she leans into him more. ]

..Okay. [ a soft breath. ] I, I'll apologize to him on Saturday, when I see him again. Thank you.. Suki-chan.

[He'll gently blot her eyes with a hankie if the tears get very big, otherwise he'll hold her close to him,]

...Yeah. [...] Want to plan out what you want to say? You can save it on your phone, like Buzen did.

[he doesn't want to even think about the possibility, much less bring it up, but... if Meteion's gone tomorrow -- wouldn't she want Bass to know? Regardless of what happens?

He thinks Bass would want that too, and Itsuki knows Meteion cares about him.]

[ ya'll are mad obsessed with me dying wtf ]

..Oh! That's a good idea, Suki-chan! Um, let me try...

[ give her a bit... words are so hard. it's much easier to express with emotions.

"I hope what I did, didn't hurt you more afterwards
You're very important to me, I care and love you a lot, Sunlight
So it hurt a lot, to see you in pain, that all I could think about was trying to help you
That if I could relieve just a bit of that pain, I wanted to
I used my gumball on you, so you would feel some comfort.. some calm
But I'm afraid it may have made it worse, I'm sorry
I'll do better next time, I promise"

...she'll hold her phone out to Itsuki. ]

Is.. something like this okay?

[STOP I OOCLY THINK SO BUT ITSUKI DOESN'TTTT

He'll read it carefully, then ruffle her hair gently,]

...Yeah. That'll reach him.

[her sincerity is so clear here, how could it not?]

How do you feel now? ...A little less weight on your chest?

[ you slut ]

..Better.

[ a bit afraid but, there are more blue to her feathers now. so she really does feel like a slight bit of weight off her. ]

Umm.. Can I send it to you? I'm still, not very good with using my phone so, it'll make me feel better if you have it.

[ we don't need to talk about the last fiasco that happened when she tried to do anything other than send and read messages. ]

[METEION... YOUR PHONE SKILLS

he's grinning a little though. it's fine he didn't know how to work the phone at all in the beginning either... also seeing some of the blue back, even if it's not all of it, makes him happy too.]

Sure. Here, I'll write it down right now.

[he'll take out his phone and start typing it, and then show her the draft]

Now we both have a copy.

[ this is why she voice-to-texts!!! ]

Thanks, Suki-chan. [ she sits up a bit more, pressing a kiss to his forehead as he did for her earlier. ] I love you.

[stop he's gonna blush... even though Meteion said this to him already? He's still blushing,]

I love you too. [hugs...!! which is why he won't say things like 'don't be sad'. for Meteion who knows the value of emotions best, that wouldn't be the right thing for her.

He'd just like it if she got to feel happy too. to balance it all out,]

I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens.

[Oh... Itsuki has this covered but he's just glancing over when he hears that, looking a little concerned, since he'd only caught snatches of what had happened on those earlier returns. He'll also come over so he can gently pat her head, trying to comfort.]

[ just a flicker of static, but she gives an appreciative look to him. :c sorry shu ]

[They're all doing their best in this chilis... He will hover just in case she needs further hug reinforcements!!]

[ she'll hold her hand out to him, offering the best smile she can muster. ]

[He'll take it! And then plop down on her other side to give her a second side-hug so now she gets two.]

Itsusu's right - you just did what you thought was best. You can talk to him about it later and it'll be fine, I'm sure.

Thanks, Shu-chan..

[ with him there, her other wing at her lower back curls comfortably around Kashuu. wing hugs for both! ]

..Mm, Sunlight has always been really understanding. I'm just, worried maybe I'll hurt him more by having done that..

[Double the wing hugs! He seems to consider his words for a moment after that, and then:]

...I think it'll probably hurt less when he knows where it came from and why it happened, if nothing else.

You think so..?

[ there's a bit of hope in her voice at that. ]

[A little nod!]

Probably, yeah. He's an understanding guy; I think it'd help him to know why that happened and who did it.

[OR SO HE HOPES. beeguns in case you're dead before meteion can tell him]

[ what is wrong with you and yaywon ]

..Mm, alright, I'll properly.. explain and apologize.
