[ ...

he quietly reaches out to take it ]

[sadiskick]

[ She wasn't completely sure he'd take it, so she's as pleased and touched as she is surprised. ]

It's another way to connect to me.

[soba]

[ ARA WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ASW WHEN DID THIS GET PUT UP HERE I'LL KILL YOU ]

... I won't lose it.

[sadiskick]

[ PLEASE LOVE ME INSTEAD. I MADE IT LAST NIGHT, SO YOU DIDN'T MISS IT FOR 324923 DAYS. ]

Think of it as a catalyst.

[soba]

A catalyst...

[ he ties it around his hand. ]

Thanks.

[ it's am embarrassed mumble ]

[sadiskick]

Don't thank me for anything yet.

[ But she's pleased enough that he seems to be intent on keeping it. At least for now. ]

[soba]

Well... people usually thank others for gifts, at least.

[ he assumes?? well, more like he knows, but he does not do it often. ]

[sadiskick]

[ She laughs. It's not a wholly kind amusement, but the look she gives him is affectionate. ]

It's a shame I can't touch you.

[soba]

[ it's funny because he can't tell if she'd give him a cute touch or if she'd hit him again because both are equally as likely from her because this is just their life ]

... when we fix everything this weekend.

[sadiskick]

[ He's wise because Meltryllis is as equally violent as she is affectionate.

(It was going to be a little violent.) ]

You can sound more confident.

[soba]

We'll be fine.

[ he sounds

a little more confident ]

[sadiskick]

That's better. Act like it, too.

[ Fake it until you make it, Toi. ]

[soba]

Well, it's not like I'd let other people be too depressed to do anything.

[ at the very least, toi is very good at springing into action in the moment, even if he hates everything otherwise. ]

[sadiskick]

[ There's pride in her smile. ]

That's why you're better than the other humans.

[soba]

[ he is trying very hard not to look touched at that. so he just changes the subject slightly. ]

I'm sure there's some that are less annoying now.

[sadiskick]

Have you stopped running from Anastasia?

[ How's that for a subject change? ]

[soba]

[ HE MAKES

SUCH A FACE ]

Was I running?

[ he was ]

[sadiskick]

Yes, so much so that she thinks you hate her.

[ Meltryllis thinks it's a little funny. ]

[soba]

It's not my fault she's so damn clingy.

[ anya truly ran at full speed like she was some sort of lioness and he was an injured gazelle ]

[sadiskick]

[ toi is prey. it is known.

She laughs a little. ]

Will you run away if I cling onto you?

[soba]

If I see you running like she does, yes.

[ it's just like

a reflex ]

[sadiskick]

Toi Kuji. I enjoy a chase and being the hunter. You best be prepared.

[ She's going to have fun, but there's no guarantee of his fun. ]

[soba]

[ he hates this ]

... fine. Challenge accepted!

[ he has concerns. ]

[sadiskick]

I expect your fright to bring a spring to my step.

[ She's excited. ]

[soba]

I could always do the same to you.

[ he wouldn't he could never nyoom like anya ]
