It's been a rough few days with that curse and all, so...

[Rather than find people to hug, Rita has set her device to video. And now she pulls it into her chest and hugs it, giving it a good half-minute squeeze before she pulls it away, face now red.]

Th-that's all you're getting from me, got it?

[ooc: Cursed! Feel free to action either at the house or out and about in the City.]

[ ...Rita, you're being really adorable, and he doesn't even think she's cursed. She's the one who really needs a hug, though. Especially without Estelle even though he knows Rita would say it's better she's not around now.

He sits close beside her, resting on an arm behind her back. ]

A doll might be a little bit softer...

[negativegate]

[On the one hand, Estelle coming and going is starting to be kind of normal...But it's hard, too. At least Rita knows they'll see each other again for certain.

For now, she blushes furiously--and she isn't even sure if it's the curse that makes her turn and hug him. After all that worrying he had to do with the Soul Eater...]

I-it's not like I meant to do that!

[blackshadow]

[ He hugs her back tightly, shifting to make it a little more comfortable. He's really worried about her... He can't even tease her right now. ]

It's fine even if you did.

[negativegate]

I didn't! I just...suddenly felt like I wanted to.

[She feels a little flustered, but if the curse compelled her to hug Tyr, she doesn't let go even after the compulsion goes away.]

[vesperian]

[Yuri made a plate of cupcakes! And now he's finding Rita because they share a love of sweets.]

action;

[negativegate]

What's that?

[ATTENTION GET she sure does like cupcakes. She stands up to check out the plate, comes over...and goes to put her arms around him with no hesitation.]

[blackshadow]

[ He doesn't want to stop hugging her either. In fact, he keeps cuddling her. ]

That's fine, too...

[negativegate]

It was weird...

[At least hugging Tyr is normal. She relaxes now, still cuddling him.]

But I did wanna hug you.

[blackshadow]

[ He laughs at that. So sappy! ]

I wanted to hug you, too.

How are you feeling?

[ ooc: brb dinner! ]

[negativegate]

[She smiles a bit, thne her expression turns softer. She can be honest about this now.]

...I miss Estelle. But...that's just normal.

[ooc: okay, enjoy! o/]

[blackshadow]

[ He knows how she feels anyway... He just wants to be there for her. He starts stroking her back gently. ]

I...guess it is... You can always see her again when you go back home, though...

[ ooc: Thank you! \o ]

[negativegate]

Yeah, so...I'm not worried about her.

[Estelle's her best friend, so of course Rita still misses her. But she will see her again in their world. It's not like what would happen if she or Tyr left...]

[ooc: :3]

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr would be confused if Rita didn't miss her best friend. He still misses Ted all the time, though he tries not to ever think of it. Just like he tries not to think of him and Rita leave each other or forgetting.

He squeezes her tight. ]

She has you to look out for her in your world, too...

[ ooc: :3 ]

[negativegate]

You've got that right. She's never alone.

[Their best friends... Rita certainly doesn't want to think about Tyr leaving, either--it's too depressing, and she doesn't want them to waste the time they have together by worrying about that.

She does worry about Tyr, though.]

Anyway, how are you holding up? After that curse...

[ooc: And then supper also turned into a walk and shower... |D]

[blackshadow]

[ His smile fades away as he thinks back to that, and he suddenly happy she can't see his face when it's over her shoulder. ]

I...I don't know... I just don't want that doesn't happen again...

[ He never knew dreams coming true could be so horrifying. ]

[ ooc: Heee, as long as you had a good time! :3 ]

[negativegate]

Yeah...

[What worries her is that--now that she found out what the curse was all about--that's what Tyr dreams about. She understands a bit more of his worry now, but she wishes she could do something about that.]

...As long as no curses affect it, the blastia's been preventing anything from happening, so it'll be all right.

[ooc: Hee, yeah. :3 Thanks~]

[blackshadow]

[ He hums in agreement, though he doesn't sound that confident now. How could that happen if the blastia really worked correctly? He refused to abandon the life he had now just because of his fears, but...he really did worry about her. About all his friends. ]

I'm glad I have the blastia... It's been a long time since I've stayed in one place...

...And I'm glad I have you here, too.

[ ooc: /o/! ]

[negativegate]

Tyr... I'm glad we're here, too. [Her best explanation is that the force they saw was due to his dream, created by the curse, so the blastia couldn't affect it...]

If I determine the source of the power behind the curses...Maybe the blastia could block those, too, but...

[ooc: \o/~!]

[blackshadow]

[ He's about to question if that's even possible, but he reminds himself at she's Rita. He nods, holding her closer. ]

If anyone could make something like that, it's you. We can try to figure out the cause over time. It could change continuously.

[ ooc: ~\o/~ ]

[negativegate]

[She doesn't know. It's a very slim possibility at best, but investigating is better than giving up.]

I'll give it a try if we can get some information. It'll depend on the energy source...Is it something we can even find?

[*\o/*]

[blackshadow]

The deities have to be using something... If they can use it, so can you.

[ooc: @\o/@]

[negativegate]

Assuming we can get to it. We can look into things, though.

[ooc: Hee, best pompoms~!]</small.

[blackshadow]

[He pulls away enough to look her in the eye.]

We won't know until we start looking.

[Fluffy as possible-!]

[negativegate]

[She looks him right back, hands on his upper arms.]

I'm not about to give up before we start.

[Perfect~! Also I'm sleepy, so I'm gonna head off a bit early. Have a good night!! /o/]

[blackshadow]

[ And with her saying that, he grins. ]

That's what I thought.

[ ooc: Okay! I hope you have a good night too! ♥ \o\ ]
