[they sure do. but he'll approach her carefully, settling down on the couch next to her. his emotions are locked down again so he doesn't accidentally kill her himself, but he sits and turns to face her.]

We could probably get you a blanket or something to rest.

[alitaba]

Just plant me in the dirt.

[ she sounds absolutely exhausted for the second week in the row? yet again, everything happens so much. she's tired fam. ]

[goalsides]

You're not a tree. [but he does reach over to carefully pat her head.] ...you feeling any better at all?

[more calm, he means.]

[alitaba]

[ the void of emotion probably says a lot tbh ]

Eh. Maybe the sunlight will do me some good.

[ she blinks tiredly ]

Photosynthesis gives you serotonin, right?

[goalsides]

Good thing it's spring. [...he shrugs.] I've never photosynthesized, but maybe that's true. We could all use a little boost right now, couldn't we?

[alitaba]

Yeah, definitely. [ ... ] Either that or we just make group ice cream sundaes until we're numb with brain freeze

[goalsides]

While I can't say I totally support brain freeze, there's nothing wrong with comfort food. We could easily drag a bunch of ice cream and toppings back to the dorm for everybody.

[...but he sighs.]

Think it'd fix things for long?

[alitaba]

[ a snort ]

Maybe it'll numb everything for a couple of hours.

[goalsides]

A couple hours is still more hours than we had the first time. But maybe we should see how we feel in the morning before doing that?

[alitaba]

Mm.... I guess.

[ she is unbothered either way ]

[goalsides]

[...]

...what can I do for you right now, Futaba-chan?

[alitaba]

[ she holds her arms out for a hug ]

[goalsides]

[oh...

...well. he would have to be a monster to deny her a hug so yeah. he will provide a hug.



if he hadn't just watched her fall apart a few hours ago he would be Suspicious but. no. this is fine.]

[alitaba]

[ sometimes you have a really shitty day and all you really want is a hug.

just don't mind the quiet sniffs when she burrows into his arms. ]

[goalsides]

[:c yeah, okay...definitely hug time. he shifts a little so he can let her lean against him and give her all the time she needs. he's apparently not going to move because big bro mode has activated.]

[alitaba]

[ i guess they're just stuck like this until she falls asleep because whoo boy, is this poor gremlin worn out. ]

[goalsides]

[rip in sneep gremlin. it's fine, whenever he does notice she's officially fallen asleep he'll at least take her back to her own bed instead of the couch. goodnight everybody.]
