Its more like my town is, uh . . . how do I put it . . . Most of the residents are usually pretty violent on the regular?

phew. I'm glad you're an exception!

[ okay, that got a little bit of a laugh out of her, but she looks away immediately with a shudder. ]

Haha — hah, right, of course! Sorry, sorry! Just used to it at this point . . .

You mean you're? Not? Gonna attack me?

⠀⠀/ /⠀RECLAIMING ...
⠀

[ backing away?? ]

[ hrk. she looks a little shaken and disturbed. ]

You can watch it in my place! I think I'm good! Without seeing a blood sacrifice!!

⠀
⠀⠀/ /⠀you would never be mari 2 i promise you. but also don't feel forced to do it i promise you won't be stoned to death + you came first
⠀

Cross??? Haha I wish it was a crucifixion, man.

Happy holidays!! They're making an open sacrifice in the middle of town again, haha.

⠀
⠀⠀/ /⠀i miss her suddenly. help

Hehe. Not at all easy.

[ she returns the smile still, pride swelling in her chest. ]

Th - thanks . . . ! You might be one of the first people to tell me that.

. . . u - um, that is to say, it means a lot.

[ faceplanting onto the ground dead. dying. making a droning noise muffled into the ground. ]

[ coursing her claws through her hair. ] It's silly, but . . . I think it's possible, making a better world if we see the light in the horizon.

[ she straightens up, looking a little more grateful. ]

It's a cruel place where I come from. But — I try not to see it like that.

Everyone has their own problems and issues! I always believed, if we show more compassion to the hurt . . . it'd make all the difference, right?

[ before she could get another tumbling ramble out of her, she's shut up swiftly. her face flushes so red once it processes what's happening.

she's so close. and her lips are warm . . .

. . . wait. her lips. NOELLE'S lips.

oh angel she's going to die on the spot. ]

I just hope I didn't offend you . . .

[ too empathetic for her own good. or maybe Noelle just makes her that nervous, saying the wrong thing might ruin whatever good terms they have. ]

//////??!!!!?!?! ]

Oh. OH.

W - well. Uh. Haha, this is a little awkward, huh?

UM?!

[ DYING. VISIBLY DYING. ]

Do — do you ACTUALLY want to??? I don't wanna! Pressure you into something you don't want!

⠀
⠀/ /⠀I SAID THIS SO LONG AGO THAT THEY ARE JUST LUMITY ITS SO GOOD!!
⠀

[ squeaking a little, ] please?

You don't look that scary, all things considered. I think you look cool!

[ sheepish smile, shrinking a bit. ]

Where I come from, it's not the most welcoming place. It's normal. But someone has to see the brighter side of things, right?

Hahaha . . . ha . . . hm. Sorry.

Um, fine!! Everyone's already getting prepared for Christmas, haha. It's a little overwhelming, if I'm being honest . . .

[ blinking. ]

Um, what's up? Something on my face?

Hung whuh?

[ glancing up, looking surprised. ] Ohhh! Oh, that! Haha! Was wondering who did that!
