Who: Everybody
When: Day 19, afternoon
Where: Everywhere.

[Well. Some of us may have had entirely too exciting a morning, but this afternoon, anyone going through the train will find tables set up with piles of flower crowns on them and signs reading 'decorative bond, please take one'. There's a preposterous amount of them, more than enough for everyone on the train to have their own flower crown.

There are also baskets of flowers set out in the lounge, and instructions for making your own crown, if none of them suit your fancy. This is clearly harmless stress relief, Aurora, go for it.]

[ Kiryuu has a flower crown on, but also there is an arts and crafts part to this, so he comes over to sit next to her with a handful of flowers to try to weave a new one as well. ]

Hey. You look... good.

Uh... how's it going?

[Hey, you know what? She turns over to him, and wraps him in a loose embrace.]

I'm doing well. Welcome back, Kiryuu.

[ [ He just immediately blushes. Not just out of some kind of affection, but also embarrassment at how they'd parted before.

And yet... he returns the embrace, a little gingerly. ]

I'm glad to hear it, and glad to be back.

[Despite being conscious of the fact that they are in a public area, and embarrassed of it, she really is happy to see him, so she nuzzles against his shoulder.]

Um, y-you gave me comfort when I dearly needed it, and truthfully, the last few days have been rather difficult for me. So, um, I will offer it to as well, as best I can.

[ Kiryuu will literally never turn down a chance to cuddle, and he isn't going to start now! ]

Well, I'm down to comfort you whenever you want or need, if you'll have me.

[Ah, she can't handle this anymore. Even though she fears drawing others in, she craves warmth, she needs catharsis. She's still afraid that she will burn and hurt everyone she touches, but simply being comrades that comfort each other should be fine, right? And this boy came here with his handsome face and singing and devil may care flirtations- what else can she do? She can already feel the heat and the hunger rising in her.]

If, um, you want to apologize and comfort me more thoroughly, c-come to my room, okay? I-I'll comfort you too.

[ Oh boy, have you ever seen a boy turn so red(without having devil's skin)? He laughs a little with embarrassment as he flusters ever so slightly. ]

Uh... right... right now?

[ He's not judging, nor has he stopped holding her. ]

I can't think of anything better to do with my time though, if that's what you want from me.

[She clearly looks flustered herself, but she looks up at him with a lonely, longing expression, biting her lip.]

Er, n-now or later, um, any time you're ready. Um, i-if you would have me. I, um, I know I must sound rather l-licentious, but I have been very, er, stressed lately, and a lot of things have happened, and... I, um, I want to be close to somebody.

[ Cute. Honestly he didn't expect to uh. Get propositioned, but also he DOES like her? And if it'd make her happy, he's not going to deny her. Instead of getting lascivious though, he reaches up to ruffle her hair fondly. ]

It's okay, I... I understand, you know? This is a big situation, and it's only natural to want connections.

S-Sorry, this is awfully sudden, and um, after you dealt with such a traumatic event. Um, it's really fine, if you'd prefer to wait.

[ He leans in then to press a kiss to her head then. ]

I uh. I'm dealing with it, I think? I'm honestly just more happy that you're doing as good as you are... and that you... uh... don't seem to be scared of me?

[She's still blushing, but sighs contentedly at the gesture of affection.]

No, you don't scare me. Um, it's true that you have this condition, but er... if it weren't for certain traits apparently being suppressed upon my arrival, I would have a rather similar problem.

I've lived through some pretty awful things, and, um, I've been scarred in ways that can never heal. So I've seen truly terrible things, and you are not one of them. I don't see you as a threat, or something to fear, but as somebody who perhaps might be like me. I, um, I want to help you with this. I want to be somebody you can rely on.

[ Kiryuu smiles softly at Hlasoh, then reaching down and taking her hands into his own and pulling them up in order to press a kiss to her knuckles. ]

I appreciate that, a lot. Really, I... I don't think you realize how much it means to me.

[It's a warm, gentle happiness, but nevertheless it is tinged with guilt- she's luring him in, making him care for a monster like her, it can only hurt him. But seeing his smile, she can't resist. She really wants him right now, emotionally, physically. She can even still feel that fragment of his life energy that she absorbed earlier, circling through her etheric system, warm and humming. It felt so good to absorb, even in the midst of the earlier terror.

Her eyes are plaintive, full of pain and empathy and longing as she meets his gaze.]

...I know what it's like to feel, wrong, and broken, and monstrous. Afraid of yourself, h-hating yourself. So I'm going to help you. A-And I'm going to comfort you. You're a lovely person, and you deserve, um, so much more.

[She breaks one of her hands away to stroke his face. Ah, she's really entranced now.]

[ Kiryuu is a simple boy, and he certainly feels only the guilt of having you know, literally bit into her. But if it wasn't something she was worried about, then he wasn't going to insist that she should be. After all, he'd eaten some raw meat thanks to Naeva and feels... fine now? ]

Haha~ It's a little weird, isn't it... feeling like this when it's like we just met? But it's nice too, to have someone who kind of knows what's going on. I admit, it's a little harder when you can't really remember anything about yourself at first...

[ He stops himself then to lean into her hand stroking his face before he leans down then to test if he could... just sneak in a kiss to her lips. ]

Yes, I can only imagine that it is.

[She certainly does not mind the kiss at all, not based on the fact that she returns it hungrily, moaning breathily into his lips- at some point it's not even responding, and she just keeps kissing him, stroking his cheek as she surrenders that the pleasant feelings. She eventually pulls away, resting her hand on his chest.]

S-Sorry, I shouldn't be rushing you into something so suddenly, or um, making this about my desires, even when I'm saying I'll support you- I'm actually pretty selfish sometimes.

[ He laughs a little at the way she seems so. Hesitant? Like she's afraid. Not of him, but of something else. Rejection? Maybe afraid that he'll think less of her because of this sudden... proposition. ]

Hey. Don't worry about it! Just do whatever you think feels right, and it'll work out in the end. You know, like... "everything will be ok in the end, if it's not ok, it's not the end", right?

[A little off the mark there, but, well. He'll see.

His comment (so naive and innocent) disarms her, and she can't bring herself to hold back.]

It won't be the end until you're screaming my name and panting for breath.

[Of course, being who she is, she can't make these sort of lewd comments without flushing and looking away immediately after, but there's hunger and determination in her eyes as she gets up and takes his hand.]

Alright. Let's get wild.

[And she starts to lead him back to Licorice, but not immediately back to her room, but rather to the item pickup lockers in the living room.

continuation!]
