Does anyone need any kindling. I seem to have acquired an excess

Hi, Tybalt. Are you still grumpy?

He is still a little grumpy, Bubbles. Are you having fun at Riku's?

[She wants to cry seeing that face.]

[Bubbles sends video, because it's easier for her than finding all the right letters and she knows Juliet will understand.]

Hi, Juliet! I'm having fun at Riku's. Is Tybalt going to be grumpy forever now?

[capuletnomore]

[She hasn't pulled herself together enough for anything beyond text at this point. If she'd seen Bubbles on the machines before Tybalt kicked her out, she might have been able to manage.]

That is good.

I do not think even Tybalt can be grumpy forever. Hanna will cheer him up. They will do the things men do to cheer up, and all will be well.

[Bubbles is okay with Juliet sending her text messages. She understands that Juliet must have a really good reason and that's all she needs to know.]

That's good, Juliet! I don't want him to be grumpy forever. I don't like it when people are grumpy.

[If only it were as easy as she's said. How is she going to explain what's happened to Bubbles in a way that won't upset the girl?]

Nor do I, child. But do not worry. You will make him smile again.

[Bubbles tilts her head curiously. Something seems... weird.]

Juliet... Are you gonna help, too?

[text] - Private

[capuletnomore]

I will do my best. But no one can remain grumpy if you are about.

[It takes her ages to type even that. The best way to make sure Tybalt cheers up is if she stays away, but Bubbles would not understand. Nor does she want Bubbles to understand such things.]

[Her fears are alleviated when Juliet says she'll do her best. Surely, there's nothing seriously wrong if Juliet's going to help, too.]

I hope you get happy again soon, too, Juliet! I like it best when you're happy. Next time I see you, I'm going to give you a big hug, okay?

I look forward to that, child.

[And even though she thought she had no more tears, the simple message leaves her sobbing.]

[He lets out a little whimper when her post pops up. How can he explain this, any of this to Bubbles?]

A bit. The discussion was a bit involved than I'd realized. You are doing well at Riku's?

[hardcorecute]

[She doesn't mind his text, but sends along video, anyhow. It's easier for her, since sometimes the right letters hide themselves and the wrong ones pop out somehow whenever she tries to send text messages.]

I'm okay! I had sammiches for lunch! You won't be grumpy forever, will you, Tybalt?

text // Stop making him (and me) tear up Bubbles!

[capuletguarddog]

Don't worry, I won't be grumpy forever.

[Just... a while]

[video] NO! Never!!! XD <3

[hardcorecute]

That's good, Tybalt! I wouldn't want you to be grumpy forever. I like it when you smile!

[capuletguarddog]

[He's smiling, just a tiny bit right now. But it's a sad, resigned sort of smile]

You're much better at smiling than I am

[hardcorecute]

I think that's just because you're out of practice, Tybalt! I bet with enough practice, you could be the best smiler ever!
