Thirty-sixth rebirth [Text]

[neverquitedies]

As irksome as all of this is, I do hope everyone understands that it will all be over soon. Nothing ever lasts in Adstringendum- not the people, not the events. It's disconcerting to suddenly lose something you've taken for granted for so long, but if you simply allow yourself time to adjust, you'll find that you can train your other senses

[Offline] Sorry for being so late! D8

[Rain hears the knocking and pokes his head out from one room, staring curiously at Yuca.]

... is this a game?

[Offline] It's totally fine!

[neverquitedies]

[He smiles and shakes his head no, sitting down on the floor up against the wall and gently patting the space next to him, indicating for Rain to sit.]

[Rain hesistates only briefly at the doorway before coming out to sit down next to Yuca, movement slightly stilted.] Yuca?

[Yuca keeps smiling warmly, trying to convey that nothing was wrong. When Rain sits down, Yuca ruffles his hair lightly before moving back to tilt his own head up, pressing his fingers against his adam's apple. He shakes his head slightly, before looking back down toward the boy and opening his mouth.

He's forming words, as if speaking ('it's alright, don't worry'), but nothing is coming out.]

[Rain sees Yuca's hand move towards his head, and he sees it pull away after, but he doesn't feel anything and, puzzled by what Yuca could have possibly been doing there, he tilts his had back to look above him instead of at Yuca.

Sorry Yuca, he might have missed your gesture.]

[He frowns a little, before just laughing at the adorable. Of course, absolutely nothing comes out, and it's a little eerie, but he's still... well, laughing.]

[Rain frowns when he can come to no logical conclusion and looks back to Yuca now, hoping for an explanation.]

[He just shrugs, not really sure how else to convey it- but Rain will probably figure it out soon enough.

For the time being though, he touches Rain's shoulder for attention and gives him a little thumbs-up with a curious look, wanting to know if he was alright, argh, this would be so much easier if Rain could read -__-.]

[Rain stares at the hand on his shoulder like he's seeing it from a very great distance, and as he continues not to feel the touch there, he starts to get visibly upset.]

Why can't I...? Y-yuca?

[Offline]

[neverquitedies]

[...oh dear.

Yuca scoops him up into his arms without further ado (nevermind the fact that Rain probably couldn't feel it) and wraps him up tight, doing his best to comfort him without words.]

[Unfortunately the hug only serves to freak him out even more, because he should be able to feel that. He rips himself out of Yuca's arms and pulls away far enough that he isn't being touched at all.]

W-whats-what's wrong with me, Yuca?

[Offline]

[neverquitedies]

[He lets him go, shaking his head and touching his throat again, opening his mouth with no sound coming out. He wants to say something, but he can't.]

[Offline]

[freyasknight]

You can't... you can't talk?

[Shivering slightly, despite the fact that he can't feel cold.]

[neverquitedies]

[Yuca nods slowly, raising his gaze to try to keep eye contact with Rain.]

[Offline]

[freyasknight]

Does. Does that have something to do with... m-me?

[neverquitedies]

[Yuca shakes his head, smiling again. Absolutely nothing, Rainykins, just those icky Animus 8|]
