...

Tenshi spotted the tower early. While she had no idea what the tower meant, she figured that a heavy strone structure implied someone wanting to protect something.

Hopefully by force!

She quickly hopped on her floating rock and moved towards the window, where she then knocked.

[notvitiligo]

fdjsklfsdjkl there is not supposed to be a knock on the window she is on the second floor top of a tower!

Jessica stares out, slightly mussed and upset. It takes her a moment to get her bearings and (after self-consciously wiping her eyes) shakily open the window.

[peachhat]

Celestials, alas, didn't care that they have to float up to reach a window.

They just...float up.

...and then are surprised at what they see.

"I...didn't expect you to be here. ...err...What's wrong?"

Tenshi might be self centered, mean, and generally unpleasant, but she could see that someone had cried just the same, and since Jessica wasn't a fighter, there was no point harassing her further.

[notvitiligo]

"y- yeah, um..."

Evasive maneuvers! Quick, windowsill, show her the best answer to get this overwith quickly and without dignity loss!

...dammit, windowsill, why do you not provide a script immediately.

"I'm... OK..."

Jessica: worst liar ever.

Stupid notification mails.

[peachhat]

...

Tenshi may not be the best observant, but this was too obvious to escape even her notice.

"Oi. I'm not human, but I can spot when humans lie. You don't seem okay. What's up? Did someone trap you in this tower or something? I did hear stories about princesses in towers and stuff, you're one of those now?"

Damn you, LJ!

[notvitiligo]

fffuuuu this is what comes of not being a social butterfly.

"No... I'm... I just fucked up, OK? I'll... I'll fix it..." She shrinks behind the pillow, trying to hide her embarrassment and awkwardness.

Argh......

[peachhat]

Tenshi blinked, then she blinked again.

"You...err...slept with someone?" She then asked, perfectly sincere confusion on her face. "Uhm, why are you crying them?"

Re: Argh......

[notvitiligo]

fdjkfsfjkslfs!

"Oh God, no! No, no, no, who would I even- I don't- Nobody-"

Tenshi seems to be particularly talented at making Jessica's brain blow fuses today.

"No. I just... messed something up, okay?!" It's rather more vehement than she intended. Her ears are burning.

[peachhat]

"Right, of course you didn't! Obviously, I was totally kidding and didn't jump to that conclusion!" Tenshi said quickly, defending herself with an obvious falsehood.

"Err...right. What DID you mess up, then. The tower? It looks fine!"

[notvitiligo]

Let us never speak of this exchange again, and wipe it from collective memory.

Done.

"It's, uh..." She becomes inordinately interested in her curtains. "It was supposed to be part of a fortress. Not... my room."

[peachhat]

Tenshi tilted her head slightly.

"So...you wanted to make a fortress, and added your room instead, creating some kind of unholy combination of the two?"

[notvitiligo]

"Accidentally," she corrects, self-conscious. "I- I did fine building other things. I just... got distracted."

[peachhat]

"By what? Must have been something big since you did fine on the other stuff, right?"

[notvitiligo]

She sighs, hunching against the pillow and studiously avoiding Tenshi's face.

"I dunno... I should be used to this by now. It's not like I've never been away from home before..."

[peachhat]

"Homesick, then?" Tenshi asked. "Well, can't blame you, I guess."

She wasn't really feeling homesick, but then she didn't care for her home much.

"Why are you so embarassed about that, though?"

Personal space and not asking inappropriate questions? Wrong celestial.

[notvitiligo]

Another sigh. She'd be puffing her bangs out of her face if she had bangs that weren't already floaty.

"Well, it's been weeks already. It's not really helping anyone for me to be acting like a kid." Never mind the presence of people who act like kids on a regular basis (or actual kids), the important part is Jessica acting wrong! Logic is not connected to this.
