[video]
[The video's not very clear when it comes on; it's dark and gloomy, showing hints of thick dust and cobwebs--a glimpse of a window reveals deep fog--and then it shifts to Rita's wide-eyed face. When she speaks, she's trying very hard to pretend she's calm...and failing pretty horribly.]
I-is anyone else stuck in this weirdo place? I mean, it's not like I need help or anything, but-
[A loud creak and sudden clatter of footsteps interrupts her, the shutters to the window abruptly blowing open, and she jumps with a yelp.] Aah--! Uh--it's not sc--just where's the exit, already?!
[Maybe realizing that the video's still recording her little freak-out, she quickly shuts it off.]
[ooc: Tags slow forever. ._. Sorry!]

The month isn't over yet. It could get even worse. [Rita hasn't given much thought to Tyr going after the staff. She was annoyed--and mostly worried--at the time that he just ran in, but she's also convinced that the ghosts would have trapped them one way or another. They could obviously appear whenever they wanted, so they only waited to toy with the two of them...]
action; ♥!
[ He sighs quietly. She's right, of course, and this month could end like it did last year - with either of them bedridden and recovering for the next month. Or more...
That's a memory he'd rather forget, though, and something he's rather not think of happening again to either of them or anyone. He doesn't have anything to say in response and chooses to just stroke her hair instead. ] Forget about it... There's no point worrying about what could happen. What's important is that we're out now...
action; ♥!
[She remembers Tyr being so badly injured around that time and sure doesn't want to see that happen to him ever again, regardless of how it happened--just knowing it was the fault of a curse was enough for her.
Her hand stops stroking his back to twist in the fabric of his cloak instead.] I know... [But it's hard not to worry about Tyr, Estelle, everyone...]
action; ♥!
Rita... [ His voice is full of concern, but he doesn't stop trying to soothe her. He can imagine the thoughts going through her head right now have to be as bad as his, and he'd be naïve to think she'd really stop thinking about it just because he said to...
There's nothing else he can do but wait and hope nothing happens to them. All their preparation didn't do anything for them this time, and dumb luck seems to be the only thing that can really save them from the curses in the end. ]
action; ♥!
[And luck is only probability and coincidence as far as Rita's concerned...Just the fact that they ended up in that situation in the first place was bad luck, anyway.
But dwelling on it is no good, either, especially when they can't know or change whatever comes next...Maybe they should concentrate just on recovering for now. She wonders if Tyr really believes next time won't go badly, but quietly answers-] Let's just try and forget about it--like you said.
action; ♥!
[ Tyr doesn't believe so much as he hopes. He's not to the point where he can't hope they'll be better off later... If he were honest with himself, he'd know that curses are out of their control and only chance can save them because they can't always save themselves. It's too painful to think about that, though.
When she agrees, he doesn't feel any better. ] ...Yeah. It's over... [ And he wishes he could say It won't happen again, but even he knows that's wishful thinking. ]
action; ♥!
[And Rita doesn't feel like wishful thinking and hoping will do them any good. It is painful, though, and it's making her mood plummet, so she tries to force the thoughts away.] And we made it out...so...we can relax.
action; ♥!
That's right... [ His voice is soft as he begins to rub her back gently again. ] We're safe now... We'll be fine today. [ He can be sure of that. If not, they wouldn't have made it out at all. ]
action; ♥!
[And usually, at least, they get a couple days' break between curses, so...] Yeah...for a while. [She relaxes a bit again and loosens her grip on his cloak.]
action; ♥!
[ He relaxes a little too when she says that, content that they don't have to worry for the moment. Leaning his head against hers, the tone of his voice is a little lighter. ] Yeah... Until then, let's just relax...
action; ♥!
[Again, she has to admit that it feels nice, and she resumes moving her hand in little circles.] Yeah--besides, you said you were tired, right? [Or maybe she's the one who said she was tired, but she can't relax enough to really rest, anyway.]
action; ♥!
[ She was the one that said she was tired, but he is tired, and the way her hand moves and just being close to her makes him relax more. It's a safe sort of feeling... ] Mm. It's been a long day, so...
[ As tired as he is, though, part of him doesn't want to fall asleep either even though he could force himself to sleep if he wanted to. ]
action; ♥!
...You can go ahead and sleep if you want. [She doesn't pause in stroking his back.]
action; ♥!
Aren't you tired, too? [ There's a note of concern in his voice beneath the calmness. ]
action; ♥!
Huh? Oh...Well, I guess. [She pauses a moment, and rather than tell him that she just doesn't want to sleep, she continues-] One of us should stay awake.
action; ♥!
[ He's not sure how to take that. It's pretty safe here, he thinks, but someone should keep watch. After a moment's consideration, he decides not to question her and simply nods. ] You're right, just in case... [ He shifts a little to get more comfortable, resting his cheek on her shoulder. ] Wake me up when you want to sleep, okay?
action; ♥!
[She wouldn't mind if they both decided to stay awake, but since he agrees, she nods.] Yeah, I will... [If she wants to sleep, she thinks.
Then, after a second, she gets a little more conscious of their position--not that she really minds that, either, but-] Hey...A-are you just going to sleep like this?
action; ♥! 1/2
[ He's not sure if she would wake him up with the way she's talking. Although part of him is worried about sleeping, a larger part knows that he should.
But those thoughts go away when she asks him that question. Lifting his head up but not pulling away, he answers with another question. ] What's wrong with this?
action; ♥!
Now that he's conscious of it and not scared enough to keep clinging to her, he thinks he should pull away, but... ] —If it's uncomfortable, I'll sleep on the ground, but...it'd be warmer like this.
action; ♥!
[She ducks her head a little in an effort to hide her blush, almost tempted to pull away herself, but she stammers a reply.] W-well, I guess...It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but--if you think it's comfortable...
action; ♥!
[ He won't even try to hide his blush, but he wonders how she actually feels about this. If she didn't mind it, she probably wouldn't have brought it up, he thinks. ]
You're the one who needs to stay up, so it's not about if I think it's comfortable.
action; ♥!
[She's not uncomfortable, but she's a little embarrassed, even though she does also like it...What do?]
I-I don't mind, so...You can sleep however you want.
action; ♥!
[ Tyr doesn't know what do either. After a little hesitation, he rests his head on her shoulder again and snuggles a little closer to her. He will sleep how he wants, then. Blushing or not... ]
...Pull away if it gets uncomfortable. I won't mind, either.
action; ♥!
[She manages to suppress a little squeak when he snuggles up like that, her face burning red, but then she awkwardly holds him close. It is kind of cozy, so...] Y-yeah...Don't worry about it. Just rest.
action; ♥!
[ At least with Rita, he knows that she really would push him away if she didn't want him around, so he just relaxes and lets his arms just circle around her waist. ]
...Thanks. Good night...
