Who: Rean, Crow, and Randy
When: day 28
Where: the garden

[Rean's been passed out since princess maker, so a good 40 hours at least. When he wakes up... well he's immortal but here's never been in a position where there's no ambient mana he can use to even function basically. He feels fuzzy and almost like he's sick for over an hour, and he runs into more than one wall and that's all so absolutely unreal to him he finally texts Randy and Crow a simple word Garden. It takes him three tries to spell it right before hitting send.

And he'll be there next to a chalk circle full of symbols.]

I'm kinda worried you might have hurt you, too?

[ruinatings]

I'm fine.

[Just tired and upset and now kind of embarrassed?? It could've been worse!]

[crimeson]

All right.

[snuggles. sooo tired, from both the drama, and, well, Rean kinda drained him of mana and he hasn't had time to regenerate it, really.]

[ruinatings]

Would it be too unreasonable to ask you to stay here?

[Rufus is a little afraid Randy's going to run, faced with the worst parts of Rufus again. It would only be fair. But right now Rufus can't stand the idea of Randy going to Rean. He doesn't want to be left alone with his ugly feelings.]

[crimeson]

Not at all. I was about to ask if you'd mind me sticking around a bit. I'm pretty wiped.

[bond] x2 actually

[ruinatings]

You can be here as long as you want, as much as you want.

[Rufus is bad at feelings and he's still upset in every way, but he likes Randy so much it hurts and he doesn't want him to leave pretty much ever. He's starting to care less and less how much of the attachment is just Rufus being starved for affection.

He doesn't know how else to deal with it so he's just running his hands through Randy's hair. He's awkward but if he tells himself it's for sparks, saying things becomes a mission and therefore easier.]

...I promise I will try to be nice to him from now on. For your sake.

[randy tips his head pleasantly into the petting]

I don't mean to make you push yourself around him, but... Thanks, love.

[ruinatings]

It's likely something that needs to be pushed. Honestly, I... I know these feelings are selfish and twisted. If I want to be a better person, I cannot waste time on useless bitterness.

[crimeson]

...All right. If there's anything I can do to help... Let me know, okay?

[reaching to gently pet Rufus' hair, too.]

[ruinatings]

You already do more than enough, you know.

[Mmmmnnnnn leans into it]

[crimeson]

Even so. You know I like to help.

[pettings for Rufus!]

[ruinatings]

Your generosity is endless.

[You big softie!!]

But for now, all I need is your presence.

[crimeson]

I can keep providing that, no problem.
