[hardpity]

So can I stay?

1/2

[righteel]

...

[righteel]

[Fidgeting with hair intensifies]

I really...would feel bad if I tried to eat you.

[hardpity]

I'm a big boy and I can protect myself.

[righteel]

....all right. I will be counting on you then.

[hardpity]

Okay. ... Should I come over there or.

[righteel]

If you swim out here you will get wet and it is still not warm enough for landfolk to simply hang around in wet clothes. I will come to you.

[hardpity]

I'll wait here.

[righteel]

Um.... I do look like Jade right now. That will not be weird?

[hardpity]

It won't be weird ENOUGH to reduce my cuddle yearning.

[righteel]

[Pfft....sliding off the rock and into the water then]

[hardpity]

[ local man takes life in hands for cuddles. 'i regret nothing' he said when asked for comment ]

[righteel]

[Swimming over before pulling himself up onto the edge of the lake]

[hardpity]

[ opens arms ]

[righteel]

[Immediately applies self for a hug]

[hardpity]

[ WRAPS AROUND ]

[righteel]

[....carefully settling against him]

[hardpity]

[ delicately also settling and like. noticeably relaxing ]

[righteel]

[Rests his chin on Idia's shoulder. Deep breath in, deep breath out.]

Today was long.

[hardpity]

Yeah.

...

Can I ask you a favor. O-or I guess it's more like. Can you grant a wish for me really quick.

[righteel]

A wish? Very well... What wish do you have?

[hardpity]

Can you say something like 'hey, it's bad that you died and I feel bad about it' for me. It doesn't have to be true. You can word it however you want.

[righteel]

...it is true though... That's the problem. Most days I feel like I'm the only one that thinks dying, even in this place, is a big deal... I was starting to think maybe I missed out on a large part of bootcamp. It is bad you died. It is bad you died and I do feel bad about it.

[hardpity]

[ time to burst into tears again ]

[righteel]

[Reaches up to rub his back]

It scares me, you know.
