oh goodness i hope you don't mind me. :D;

[tokinohime]

[She was completely drawn in, until she frankly recognized his voice. This is where... she hesitates coming along. As fascinated as she was to witness such an interesting thing that she was quite versed in knowing, there was a deeper meaning to it.

Him.

Well, more along the lines that she didn't say goodbye to him when her soulbot exploded. However, she knew that it would be okay to show up! Especially since she had a good feeling about this, and had a good idea where he was.

A faint maroon-red glow could be seen as she approached the clearing, before too long she stepped forward altogether. The fire was calm, warm... it reminded her of the Sun itself. She's not a bit nervous at all to see him again, in fact, she's entirely happy to see him again. ]

I wouldn't mind lending a hand where it's needed.

[[ooc: I do hope this is alright! .3.]]

[tokinohime]

[It's... an improvement, to say the least. Time to explain herself.]

I have to be honest with you, Equius. You creeped me out considerably when I was a spirit, which really took me a lot to get that way, especially since I was in such a bad mood.

[She might be getting a tiny bit ticked, and sighs.] When you gave me that body to occupy, I was actually very angry when you tried to replace my blood and make me have feelings for you. In fact, you could even say that robot was the reason I did get as angry as I did! It was a nice change from being a mopey spirit that really didn't care about anything, but the fact that all I did get was angry and angrier. The only reason why I did not stick around as much as I did and I disappeared when I did during the game was because I was focused on helping the inevitable outcome of the game to occur.

[Another sigh, but she perks up considerably.]

I'm as happy as I am because I'm finally, truly alive! Even more-so than I have before, when I was alive the first time!

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Oh, he remembers how angry she got in the robot body; he still has the missing teeth to prove it. He should have predicted the sudden influx of blue blood would change her temperament, but he'd had no idea it would do so to such an extreme degree.]

[And the chip thing... yeaaaaah...]

I shouldn't have done that to you.

[Which is the closest she's going to get to an apology, so hopefully she recognizes it as such.]

It's good that you're... alive now, and I'm pleased that you're so happy. I... I tried to make you happy before, but I think I failed at that.

[tokinohime]

[Yeeaaahhh... It was something he should have probably given that a bit more thought.

Luckily, she does catch that, and gives a small nod.]

You did try, even if it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to! The soulbot gave me strength that I didn't possess when I was just a ghost, and I really do thank you for doing that for me.

[She takes this moment to pause, then adds on.] In a... very small way, I was happy with having what you gave me. However, it was difficult to show it. I hadn't had feelings since I died.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[He actually thought about it a great deal... but every time he did, the little voices saying 'it's someone you can touch! you'll be able to touch her!' drowned out all logic.]

You're welcome, then.

[Hey, he gets the whole thing about showing emotions. A regular part of his day is devoted to squashing his own.]

So... are we okay?

[tokinohime]

[Oh Equius. ;____;]

We are. ... I also wanted to say something else, while we're talking about this!

[stayb100ponyboy]

[That's a relief.]

I'm listening.

[tokinohime]

Before my soulbot exploded, I realized that I only had a small window of time before it inevitably happened. I said goodbye to Sollux only because he was my oldest friend!

I wanted to, to you too, but I didn't have time. Plus, I knew we would meet again!

[Might as well get that off of her chest.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Oh... oh.

[Well, now he feels like a jerk for so relentlessly trolling Sollux ever since he got here.]

Thank you. That... that means a lot to me.

[tokinohime]

[Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.]

You're welcome... I wanted to especially make sure you got that particular fact straightened out.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Oh, so Sollux spilled it, did he? Lousy, disgusting mustardblood, interferring with the business of highbloods and god tiers, so unnecessary...]

I'm glad it is.

[A little more nervous shuffling... is this what closure feels like?]

[tokinohime]

And I am, too! Especially now that we have all of that on the right track...

[Closure for one, while the other still has those lingering feelings. It could count as closure, but... there were a lot of "what ifs", this one marked as such. Inevitability be damned. She'd be okay in the end, it would just take some time. Luckily, that's what she is, Maid of Time and all, plus she is stuck here for a good long while.]
