[have some life here too]

[ramblingbrat]

Well, there are few things that can manage to put a damper on a good mood like death.

Really, though, this good mood was an exceptionally good one of its kind (rather excessive amounts of really good sex for a month after a two-and-a-half-year drought?) and her death resulted, mostly, in annoyance over a loss of some kind (not being quick enough

Well, Isaac has never claimed to be subtle when it comes to his love of his family, so the minute he glimpses Tori through that doorway, he'll bolt right into the room and all but tackle her. It's gentle, of course, not enough to push her over, just enough that he can then hug her, tightly and a little shakily. He won't bother with words just yet.

[ramblingbrat]

Tori can't help something like a startled half-squeak, but she hugs back right away, just as tightly. "Hey," she murmurs, kissing his temple quickly, as he was one of the people she was most concerned to see. "I'm back. I'm okay. How've you been holding up?"

[acrossandasong]

"Hi," he says, though it's muffled into her shoulder. He's relaxing a little, at any rate. "I was worried," he adds, which should be obvious. "And I didn't have a very good birthday. But it's all right now, because you're back."

[ramblingbrat]

Which is important, as is ruffling his hair gently. "Well, I'm definitely one hundred percent okay, or I will be once I tell everyone I am." That'll get a quiet, guilty sound out of her, though. "Shit, I didn't think of that -- I'm really sorry, Isaac, I wish I'd been around for that."

Erebus, at least, doesn't feel the need to hug her yet (that is a very crucial "yet"). That doesn't mean he isn't incredibly pleased to see her, though, hence the almost stupidly bright grin as he leans against the doorframe. "Fuck, finally, I was going to get worried. Hey, babe."

[ramblingbrat]

She can't help grinning back upon seeing him, because she's happy to see him too -- and also, hey, this is the perfect time to bring up her Big News. "We can't have that, right? Hey, Rebbie. Guess what."

[messofinnocence]

He looks even happier at that, because it's good to see that she's okay -- and he tilts his head right away, obviously curious. "Don't call me that, you bitch -- what?"

[ramblingbrat]

"Rebbie Rebbie Rebbie," she chants brightly, before spreading her arms and grinning more broadly. "You are now looking at the girl who has ended her dry spell so long as to almost have brought about a second virginity."

Tona is not a fan of this whole "death" thing. He's probably not entirely over his own demise, and news of Tori's probably just sparked a desire to go curl up in a ball and whimper. If she's impatient, he's still depressed, and he shows this by grabbing the back of her shirt and pressing his face between her shoulderblades, nuzzling and making a distressed sound.

[ramblingbrat]

She turns right away at feeling that, gathering him into a tight hug that's as reassuring as he can make it. "You okay?" she asks right away, one hand going to gently ruffle his hair.

[iwannabethe]

"No," he says dumbly, closing in to snuggle her. "Are you?"

[ramblingbrat]

She keeps that hand in his hair, as comfortingly as possible. "Well, pretty much. But not if you're not."

When she materializes, Omnia is leaning against her wall and the look in her eyes is crazier than is normal for her. She doesn't quite manage to say anything just yet, but she is watching Tori carefully.

[ramblingbrat]

She turns a little at that, giving her the faintest of wry smiles, and shrugs a little. "Hi. Miss me?"

[trueavenger]

"No. I can't stand to be around you. Don't you know that, Victoria?" One side of her mouth may quirk upwards just the slightest bit, though.

[ramblingbrat]

"I thought so. I'll have to go find more accomodating cousins," she replies with another slight grin.

For her part, Tia never really touched on any sort of "depression." Instead, she just dove straight into anger, which faded into irritation, which has since become a very similar sort of impatience. The quick gradation is, of course, mostly to blame on having gone through much the same thing with Tona not all that long ago and having to deal with Teides who, unlike herself, did not fair so well in the entire situation.

The twin in question is with her when she finds Tori so there is no surprise that Teides pretty much squawks as he charges in to hug Tori so tightly that he lifts her off of her feet, babbling the expected "You're back! You'rebackyou'rebackyourback.Whydoeseveryonehavetokeepdyingaroundhere?Idon'tlikeit." Meanwhile, Tia remains near the door, arms crossed over her chest with a look that simply speaks of being entirely unamused.

[ramblingbrat]

Tori can't help a slightly startled sound before hugging Teides back just as tightly. "I'm back, I'm back, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to die -- not like I really could've helped it -- but I'm back now and I'm okay, I promise -- hi, Tia."

[mutteredinhell]

Teides makes a sound sort of like a whimper and just clings because he's wanted Torihugs pretty much the entire time she's been dead.

Tia just nods. "Welcome back. He obviously missed you and I obviously have to find some way to keep you lot out of harm's way." Which is to say, I missed you, too, and I'm going to do something horrible if people don't stop hurting my family.

[ramblingbrat]

Tori's perfectly fine with hugging him, really, speaking to Tia with her head on his shoulder. "Yeah, I missed both of you too. I'm pretty eager to do that 'keeping myself out of harm's way' thing myself, honestly."
