[ Cute... the birds do a little wave of hopping and cheeps before they flutter away. ]
Normally they strain now and then, small minor discomforts and pains, but that's the first time they were that intense. I'm not too sure if it was something they were reacting to... but it is the only reason I can see otherwise. [ He seems a bit stumped on it, but shakes his head a little. ] ..These effects really are the worst of them.
[ A frown because getting stabbed?? Multiple times?? Hello?? That alone is likely exhausting mentally.
There's a brief pause before he carefully, carefully leans against her a little. Fortunately no direct contact to said injuries so no painful experiences yet. A sigh of relief. It isn't as comforting as just holding her hand and squeezing it reassuringly, but it'll do. ]
[he's very careful, and she is in return - she shifts when he leans, trying to make sure he doesn't accidentally bump her. she's got some rust curling around her side, which is mostly what she's concerned about, but it's okay.
she settles there.]
I definitely liked last week much better. [wryly.] It isn't so bad. I don't like pain, but I am used to it. I barely feel it anymore.
[don't just say this like it's not concerning]
... I have wondered if experiencing the pains that everybody has gone through will allow me to understand them a little better, though.
[ his body eases from were they lean, even if he's still being mindful of her own rusted injuries. gentle and careful now. red eyes gently watching her, a brief hint of amusement at that first comment. ] Mmm, last week was certainly more pleasant in comparison..
[ ...oh. :( ] I do not like that it's something you're used to.
[ because it is! concerning! it's clear he wants to reach out and comfort her, but he can only frown softly in her direction. ]
...In the same way that you learn the way someone thinks, feels, I would not disagree entirely with that thought.
[ Metis can at least understand that train of thought. if it wasn't a two-way path, worried about causing the other person pain, he would likely be curious enough to see. ]
[sometimes she forgets that most of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is like, horribly depressing, so she looks a bit sheepish at the soft frown. sorry, her bad.]
... It's alright, it doesn't bother me. [a beat.] Anyway. I'd try it out, but... I don't want to cause anybody pain.
[ me crawling back to this after cyoa oopsie. a soft sigh at that bit of sheepish look she has, but he doesn't look like he blames her anything for it. he knows, sometimes that's how you grow up doing. ]
Nor would I want to cause anybody pain.
[ light amusement, but it's hard to make light of the situation. some of these pains are serious - but he continues to watch her, gaze warm. ]
In the meantime, is there anything you would like to do today? Not that I would not mind sitting here enjoying your presence, as is a given.
... Something warm. [she's cold!!! the ship is freezing.] I don't really want to go to the planet, so much, but if you wanted to explore, I'd be fine with that.
[a beat.]
Or we could get something warm to drink and watch a film.
[ HELP he comes out to her still t-posing. it's fine, he'll heal up and have a nice nap at the library after. ]
Haha, I think I've had my fair share of the planet for now so we can skip out on that.
[ exploring is fun but! he nods at that suggestion, smiling more. ]
Something warm to drink, a good amount of blankets and nice film to enjoy. Hmm, yes, I have not experienced many films here so that would be nice to do.
[YEAH EXACTLY please sleep in an actual bed at any point raha]
Thank Aeber for that. [she also doesn't want to go to the planet, because she's a baby about having to wear the suit. but - this alternative plan sounds nice, and she smiles a little when he agrees.]
I watched... I think it was called Howl's Moving Castle with Shoma. I liked that one. We could find something similar.
[she pulls herself up to stand, holding out a hand to him. carefully.]
[ Things he should be doing: that in his own room. Things he doesn't do: that. ]
Howl's Moving Castle.. what an interesting title! Gregor and I took to watching one called WALL-E. It was certainly heart tugging.
[ He reaches with his mostly good hand, since no rust covers the hand at least, only up to the wrist there. Gingerly squeezes her hand, but to the theater! ]
