So Estelle's really...gone for good.

::private to Tyr::

Hey, tell me what happened. You did it, right?

[stargathering]

[ Because he wants to. But when she doesn't stand, he...just takes a seat while holding it. With that question, though...well, he's being honest now, anyway. ]

You don't look well. It's normal to be worried...

[blastiafreak]

[Just holding hands like that feels really awkward, and she glances off to the side. Also, denial forever.]

I'm fine. It's just...a lot of things happened, but--I can handle it, all right?

[stargathering]

[ Then she can let go. He'll just keep it for now... ]

I know you can. Still... you don't need to handle it alone.

[blastiafreak]

[Her grip is loose, but she doesn't let go. Yet.]

But--it's my own problem. [That seems easier than saying it'll hurt too much if you leave, too.]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr's hold is the same. ]

Being friends means you don't need to deal with your problems alone. [ Tyr doesn't understand. Rita is helping him with his own problem, so... ]


[ might be it for tonight o/ have a great night! ]

[blastiafreak]

I-I know that...but I don't need any help. [It's a feeble argument, but she can't come up with anything better than just repeating that statement.]


[okay! You too~ Sleep well! ♥]

[stargathering]

Are you sure? [ He holds her hand a little more securely. He doesn't really believe that. ]


[ thank you!♥ ]

[blastiafreak]

Of course I'm sure. [But she doesn't meet his eyes.]

[morning!! ♥]

[stargathering]

... I still want to help you... For everything you've done for me.

[blastiafreak]

I haven't done that much... [Though she's obviously losing this argument.]

[stargathering]

Yes, you have. [ She is. Tyr's not going to agree with her saying she hasn't. ]

[blastiafreak]

...That--that doesn't mean you have to make a big deal out of it. [And she's getting less argumentative.]

[stargathering]

I'm not making it a big deal. I just want to return the favours...

[blastiafreak]

[She pauses, like she's going to say something else, then taps the cookie tin she's holding.] Y-you already did, okay?

[stargathering]

[ Tyr gives a lop-sided smile. ] Should I start thanking you in biscuits from now on?

[blastiafreak]

[She glances at him--and man, now she's blushing again!] Uh, well--I-if you really have to...

[stargathering]

[ Blushing? There's a key of laughter in Tyr's voice. ] Biscuits it is, then.

[blastiafreak]

[Why does she feel like she's being made fun of here? :<] Fine...Th-they better be good ones.

[stargathering]

[ It's not meant to be mean! It's just cute... ] They will be.

[blastiafreak]

[Aw. Rita's a mix of touched and embarrassed--and reminding herself that she shouldn't be getting too close like this, even though it's difficult...] If you say so--I-I should go, I guess...

[stargathering]

[ Tyr is just going with his whims since she's not saying a thing about it. ] All right... Let's go. [ Now let's stand up with linked hands. ]

[blastiafreak]

Y-yeah... [Aww. And he successfully distracted her! She doesn't quite catch on to the "let's" part, and stands up with him.]

[stargathering]

[ He only intends to walk her to the door. Unless she doesn't let go. Ladeda~ ]

...oh I meant to use her other blushy icon there. Similar keywords.;;

[blastiafreak]

[Nope, not letting go. She's a little too focused on the holding hands, and the biscuits, and his insistence on helping~] ...Hey. Uh. Thanks...for everything.

[Because maybe she does feel a little better.]

oh! I was wondering. 8D

[stargathering]

It's no problem. [ She's almost as bad at this as he is, Tyr thinks. He's not about to comment on that, though. Opening the door, he wonders how far she really wants to walk with him. ]
