RL with Shiro (backdated to the 30th)

[entthront]

[ After Mikaela had left, Nena had spent a few minutes grumbling around the house, kicking the occasional piece of furniture and muttering things like 'stupid purple-haired freak' and 'I'm going to get him back for this

[The Pemberly household had a pretty open policy on people coming and going, so Shiro gave a little knock on the door before walking right in.]

Hello? Anybody home?

[No answer, but he was pretty sure he could hear something coming from the bathroom. He decided to go that way to investigate.]

Yo, anyone in?

[He was all ready to knock on this door too, but it was lying open, and...

...ew. Clearly, his precious princess had started the party a little early.]

Holy crap, Freckles. Whatcha had to drink already?

[Despite his gentle mocking, he still sat down beside her and carefully brushed the hair out of her face so that she couldn't puke on it. Well, puke more on it.]

[entthront]

[ She crankily waved a hand at him in a 'go away' motion when he first entered-- acting all vulnerable was fine to get attention, but this was just pathetic, she didn't want anyone seeing her like this-- but she didn't try and push him away when he didn't leave, mostly out of startlement; the only person she'd normally expect to do something like that was her brother. Another heave or so, and she managed to pause and say ]

Nothing, I ate too much ice cream ca--

[ aaaand back to the hurling. ]

[ninelivesbaby]

Ice-cream? Seriously?

[Well, that certainly accounts for why the toilet's been painted pink. He kept her hair out of the way, and rubbed her back in what was supposed to be comforting circles.

Either that or they'd help bring up the rest.]

[entthront]

[ After a little longer, when it had all come up and she was feeling all trembly the way you do when you've just vomited your brains out, she rested her head on her arms and muttered ]

Ice cream cake. Stupid bastard.

[ninelivesbaby]

[Shiro was having difficulty working out just what she meant. He went and fetched her a glass of water, and helped her hold it.]

Somebody got you a bad cake?

[Was it even possible to get food poisoning from ice-cream cake?]

Who did, Cross?

[entthront]

[ looks at the glass with a bit of bemusement at first, what is with this ninjaing in and being all caring, but takes a few sips ]

Tieria did. [ curls her knees up, resting her chin on them ] I ate too much.

...What are you even doing here, anyway?

[ninelivesbaby]

Oh. [he said simply, curiosity momentarily satisfied.]

Wait, whaddya mean, what am I doing here? It's your birthday!

[He started doing his best to clean up the mess.]

Why'd you eat so much cake, anyway?

[entthront]

I dunno, you didn't tell me you were coming. [ watches him clean up the mess-- there isn't much, she had good aim sob ] .....Thanks.

...And it's not my fault Tieria had to go and be a dick, that's what made Mikaela and me eat the cake. That's what girls do when people are dicks, they eat cake.

[ninelivesbaby]

Well, uh, for future reference, I think it's normal for people to just... drop in on birthdays. I think. I don't know, I mean, I ain't too sure about birthday stuff. [there, that's the worst of it gone]

...did I miss somethin'?

[entthront]

[ shrugs ] I don't know anything about birthday stuff either. But I don't really care if it's normal, I like when you come to see me.

And you missed Tieria being a dick! He's gone, he just up and left! Right on my birthday! [ is kind of indiscriminately glaring around the room, a bit too ill to throw things at the moment ]

[ninelivesbaby]

Huh. That's... pretty damn weird. You know where he went? [he knows that look, and it's not a good one, here have some cuddles]

[entthront]

[ Cuddles are much appreciated, yes. Leans her head against his chest with a grumpy sort of noise ] Back to our world, probably. Where the hell else would he go, it's not like he'd have run off and eloped or something.

[ninelivesbaby]

[snorts at the mention of eloping, from what he remembers of Tieria, the mental image is pretty hilarious]

Come on, are you really gonna let some dick move like that ruin your birthday? Not like it deserves stressin' over.

[entthront]

He's the only way I'd ever get back! [ yelling that a bit, and pounding one fist on his chest ] I'm stranded here without him! And all I can do here is-- go to school, and hack things for kicks, and watch stupid TV shows, and I hate it! And Miha-nii's off world right now, even, and it's so boring! [ wraps her arms around him, and demands, ] Make it better.

[ninelivesbaby]

[He's not going to let it show that he's a little hurt at only being a distraction for her while she's not on her own world, because that would make him really fuckin' lame. So what, right?]

Well, f'starters, I'd suggest we get outta here. [rubs across the back of her shoulders] How you feelin'? You think you're done redecoratin'?

[entthront]

[ She nods and stands up, taking his hand to pull him up-- if we're being honest here that's what it started out as, but he's somehow become rather more than that. Regardless, though, she doesn't notice he's bothered, so doesn't say anything to correct his thoughts ]

Come on. No one else is home, we've got the whole house.
