Training 013 [Video]

...

So uh. For those of ya that know him, Lavi just got eaten by a wormhole.

...

[Chie does not look like she's taking this well. She hasn't...destroyed anything. Yet. But that very carefully neutral expression on her face isn't a good sign.]Um. So guys. Thor-people. Whatever. What do y'do when your boyfriend disappears and you can't go rescue

[Rikku didn't know whether or not this was any of her business, or if she even knew you well enough to make it her business. But, Rikku spent a good two years of her life alongside her best friend/cousin who was going through the same exact thing, so she figured it was alright for her to offer something.

It felt out of place for her to be doing it over video though, instead of actual contact.]

Do you... wanna go to the swimming pool or something? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want... You can just, take a breather, y'know?

[Video]

[stompyerface]

Yeah... that's a good idea. I really just... don't wanna be in here, y'know? So that's perfect.

[She appreciates it. She really does. Not for the first time, she's glad people on the Thor can be so nice.]

[whosyour_rikku]

It's hard... You still feel them and it's scary, y'know? [Goes quiet for a moment, not wanting to go down that path without getting the official "go" from Chie.] But, um, right! I'll head over there now, so... I'll meet you in a few?

I have some cookies I got this morning, too, that I can bring. If you, uh, want.

[stompyerface]

Yeah. Um. See you in a bit.

[She'll be more willing to talk...outside of this room.]

Cookies? Huh...

[She can't say she has an appetite, but...]

Couldn't hurt, I guess?

[whosyour_rikku]

[Gives a short nod and smiles softly.] Good. Ok, right then, I'll see you soon.

((ooc: Sorry about the random lateness, I dozed off.))

[Chie nods back and the feed cuts out while she grabs her stuff and flees the room.]

[She shows up about five minutes later, swimsuit and towel in a bag and looking a bit lost. Not lost, like in the 'oh where the hell am I' sort of lost, either.]

[Action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Rikku approaches Chie with a careful smile and a baggie of comfort cookies in hand. Though she wasn't always the best at picking up vibes, she could definitely feel your sense of removal. An obviously justified and completely understandable sense.]

[Being as touchy-feely as she is, Rikku grabs Chie's hand- more of in a 'guide you' way.] Hey, so you wanna sit down first? Or, I see you brought your swim stuff?

I-I'm finally finding tags after the 4th wall squish.

[stompyerface]

[Chie's always been more of a touchy-feely person, herself. And she'd probably be doing the exact same thing, in Rikku's shoes.]

[She does give a little smile, though. She's slowly working through the shock and the numbness.]

I probably oughtta do some swimming first... I always feel better after doing something, y'know?

Re: I-I'm finally finding tags after the 4th wall squish.

[whosyour_rikku]

Totally, yeah! I know exactly how you feel! [Pats at the air a little bit, shaking her tail feather.] Swimming's really got that way of making you just feel all fresh and squeaky~

[Rikku's trying desperately to change the mood and make your transition a little more of a rapid-fire progression. It's shocking, yes.]

[stompyerface]

[Not shocking, but awesome. Chie latches on to the cheerful switch like a leech on an open wound.]

[That was a terrible analogy.]

Yeah! It makes you feel totally weightless.

[whosyour_rikku]

[no, no, a hilarious analogy.]

Like an alien or something! [Laughs, and starts stripping off her clothes to reveal a bathing suit underneath.]

[stompyerface]

Yeah! Like walking on the moon!

[Chie has to go change her clothes, but comes back with a striped swimsuit nonetheless.]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Doesn't quite know you well enough to make some Hot Springs comment, but damn girl, you know how to work it.]

Hey, hey! Last one in is a rotten banana!
