Who: Everyone
When: Day 43, Nighttime
Where: The clearing, now no longer a beach

[ The beach fades away, leaving everyone back in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of the clearing and their-- beloved?-- train. There are some new stars in the sky, twinkling in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple, senna terracotta, jasmine blue, and clover pink.

The sound of a giggle fills the air and leaves behind bubbles-- touching one will give the uncontrollable urge to hug the nearest person. They will persist throughout the night. ]

There is nothing to discuss.

....

You were fine being touched at the trial. Why is it different now?

I said there is nothing to discuss.

I told you to not imply I was imagining things.

And I will drop it if you can say you don't want to talk about it.

So let's see. You blushed when you hugged me. Easily flustered? But we cuddled, so it gets a little weird...

I did not repeat that, only that there is nothing to discuss.

[can't say she doesn't want to talk about something if there's nothing to talk about!!!!!!]

I only did so because I was forced to act intimately. It was not my intention and served no purpose.

'There is nothing to discuss' is a backhanded way to say 'you imagined there was something.'

So because it was a surprise, it flustered you? That makes sense. Doesn't explain the tremble though.

Yes, you are correct, I am easily flustered.

[so u can drop it now]

But when i hugged you wasn't flustered. That was like...

Like some kind of depressive touch starved reaction.

[Solar don't abide by passive aggressive and going back on what she says she's gonna do.]

It was not.

[firmly.]

Bad experience with sudden restraints?

I already said I was easily flustered.

Then why was that flustered reaction different from the other?

I do not know. It is not important.

You trembled when someone hugged you and then immediately wanted to not acknowledge it existed. That seems like it might be pretty important.

You do not know me, why is it any concern of yours either way?

Because that seems to be the vein my Special Talent is in, so I probably should.

And because I said I'd drop it if you said you didn't want to talk about it, but then you didn't, which means I have to pry. Plus the fact you didn't say you didn't want to talk about it might be an indirect cry for help, so like that's my pride, and also maybe not being a major jerk to someone who wants help, but doesn't know how to ask for it?

Also because this train says it's about bonds so that's like. A thing with bonds probably.

There is a whole list of reasons why it's my concern both in the grand sense and personal sense.

It is not a "cry for help" as you put it, so you can cease your attempts at prying. I do not bond with anyone, either.

Then it's a matter of pride.

And what do you mean you don't bond? Like I know this place is definitely not on the level of what's generating sparks, but bonds certainly sound like a better sell than ice breakers and weird trials, and you were definitely doing the trial.

And even if this place isn't on the level about bonds, harmony magic might STILL be in play anyway.

[lol]

It is as I have said. I do not form bonds with others. I do not mind contributing my all to trials. I do not know what harmony magic is in this context.

You see that you can contribute, but you don't form bonds? People make bonds because they get things out of them, the fact you can contribute means you can bond.

Harmony magic is one of the most powerful magics around, if not the most powerful. It's just....hard to explain because it's all vague on how it works, at least from a generalized knowledge standpoint.
