[spiria]

[ .... no. nono. everyone just went and got themselves killed somehow, didn't they? And Rin and Yukio were left alone ...

... Just as quickly as he'd set her down, she was hugging him again. ]

I'm sorry ...

[keepsthefire]

[Rin accepts the hug, holding her tight and letting out a tired sigh.]

We... just gotta wait for her to come home...

[spiria]

Everyone just left you and Yukio alone, though ... I mean, I know that there's not a lot we can do when this place wants to mess with us, but I still feel bad.

[ she'll keep holding him for now. until he forces water and food on her. and then she'll probably go right back to holding him. ]

[keepsthefire]

[Which will be about now. He pulls back, only to forcefully turn her around and start walking towards the kitchen.]

It was quiet and it sucked but we've survived worse before.

[spiria]

[ there might be a pout here. she did say she would eat if he made sure she did, though, so she doesn't fight it. ]

I still feel bad ... You know I don't like it when you're feeling bad.

[keepsthefire]

[Good.]

I know. But you're back now.

[spiria]

I am. So I'll make you feel better somehow.

[keepsthefire]

You bein' back is a pretty good start.

[spiria]

It is a good start. But not good enough.

[keepsthefire]

[sigh]

. . . eat your food, Kohaku.

[spiria]

... okay.

[ she'll begrudgingly do as he asks her to do because she really does feel that crappy. she'll find some way to take care of him too, though. ]

[keepsthefire]

You should probably take a bath and get some sleep after you're done.

[He's just going to bustle around the kitchen while she eats, trying to keep himself busy. He pauses, though, adding after a beat:]

I'll be here when you wake up.

[spiria]

Promise? Lay down with me?

[ cuddles? cuddles. cuddles are needed. especially after all of that. ]

[keepsthefire]

[Of course they are.]

Okay.

[spiria]

Okay. I'll finish eating, and then shower and then my hair will be all all wet and then we can lay down.

[ And you'll get all wet, too. ]

[keepsthefire]

Gee thanks that's just what I wanted. Can't you braid it back or somethin'?

[Girls did that sort of thing, right?]

[spiria]

Yeah, but my hair is really long. It's not gonna help much.

It's so inevitable, I'll just get you wet, too ~

[ >:D ]

[keepsthefire]

Ugh...

[Why do you torment him so, Kohaku]

[spiria]

[ She's laughing a little. ]

Fiiine, I'll try not to get you totally wet.

[keepsthefire]

Good. I'd rather not be, thanks.

[spiria]

[ She finishes her food and drink, and then goes to wash her utensils and dishes really quick. ]

I'll be back after a shower ... and you'd better be here when I get back, mister.

[keepsthefire]

I ain't goin' anywhere!

[Gosh.]

[spiria]

Just making sure!

[ She finishes her cleaning and starts to walk out of the kitchen, poking his nose gently as she passes him. ]

[keepsthefire]

Erf--

[You certainly keep him on his toes, Kohaku...]

[spiria]

[ She's in and out of the tower within 20 minutes, wet hair braided back. ]

Rin?

[ Where in the house is Rin? Is he already upstairs? ]
