Comments

[restorehope]

[ can you hear that shuffling, baby? That would be Martel searching for her coat. ]

Tsukasa...where are you? [ there's some slight urgency to her voice. :c o-oh, gotta leave a note for Yuan. Scribble scribble.. ]

[selfishworld]

[There's a little cough-hiccup from crying.]

I'm... I'm in my house. Near the second mansion in the village...

[restorehope]

[ with a note written out, Martel heads out. You poor thing-- she tries to think of how to console him from a distance. Having the technology to speak with him from such a wide gap is different for her, but she'll put forth one hundred and ten percent if it means he can put the memory behind him long enough to rest his eyes for the night. ]

Will you turn a light on, so I know which home is yours? [ her voice calms down after a few moments of absolute disbelief. ]

[selfishworld]

O... okay.

{Right... the light... it'll help her be able to tell...}

[Shuffle shuffle to turn the light on... there.]

BUMPIN' IT TO AN ACTION TAG +A+

[restorehope]

[ it doesn't take her as long as she thought to arrive-- she knocks on the door gently, her breathing a bit erratic from the rushed movement to get here. Exhales escape as small puffs of fog. ]

AWW RIIIIGHT ACTION TIEM

[selfishworld]

[Tsukasa opens up the door, his eyes puffy from crying. He looks almost smaller than usual, more withdrawn, and he moves aside so she can come in.]

{She shouldn't have to worry about me in the middle of the night...}

H... hey.

FUCK YEAH AKSHUN

[restorehope]

[ she takes only a few steps forward and then grabs him, pulling him into a tight embrace. Yeah, it's rather forward-- yes, she is a little embarassed, but...he needs to know that something like what happened in his nightmare won't happen again. That there are people who love him. ]

I'm sorry...I'm so, so sorry.. [ she's heartbroken for you. And your eyes are all puffed up... ]

GO GO ACTION RANGERS \o/

[selfishworld]

[He jolts a little, but after a few moments he hugs back.]

It's not your fault. You... it's not your fault...

{... She reminds me of Mother...}

/MAD GUITAR SOLO

[restorehope]

No one should ever have to go through that. [ she blinks softly at his 'mother' comment. ]

...like your mother? [ lmao. god be damned if she isn't doing everything she can to try and console him, but she's just too curious. ]

/MAD SPECIAL EFFECTS

[selfishworld]

I don't know. I can't remember...

{I can't... really remember anything...}

[He looks up.]

Mother... mother's gone.

{She's been gone a long time...}

/RAZZLE DAZZLES

[restorehope]

You don't have to remember everything right now. It's okay, Tsukasa...you're okay. [ she brushes some hair away from his eyes and smiles softly. She just had to be strong- for Tsukasa, who was hurting. ] Your mother still loves you. I'm sure that she has a reason for..being gone.

[ hey, this sounds kind of familiar-- oh wait, this happened to Martel, too. but she was thrown out. ...n-now's not the time to be comparing trauma experiences though. That won't make anything better. ]

[selfishworld]

[He trembles a little.]

She... she died. All alone. And left me with him.

{I won't cry, I won't cry... he doesn't deserve my tears.}

[restorehope]

... [ she brings him back into her embrace, her smile fading. Scolding herself for saying something so insensitive, she rested her head against the side of his head and silently offered her condolences and as much comfort as she could possibly give. When she felt his smaller frame shaking, she held a little tighter. ]

[selfishworld]

[He hugs her as tight as his weak strength allows, which... isn't much. Lol caster class. He's still shaking, still trying not to cry.]

{I can't remember much about Mother... just bits and pieces... I can barely remember anything about myself...}

[restorehope]

[ this boy, who put up such a tall wall when they first met, seemed like a scared child now. trembling like a leaf, the wall had mysteriously disappeared. ]

It's okay to cry. No one will hurt you here. It's only you and I. [ his pain echoed through her, and if he didn't start crying soon, then she probably would. ]

[selfishworld]

[He nods, and closes his eyes, starting to cry. Tsukasa shakes, burying his head into Martel's shoulder, whimpering.]

{Momma... Mother... I'm sorry you had to be alone... I'm so sorry...}
