this might sound silly but could i have a hug?

[ She's not really directing this at anybody in particular. She just found out parts of her family are no longer here and she's ... not handling it too well. She'll take a hug from anyone willing to give one. ]

[ She does let a smile show at the nudge, and it holds as he pulls away. She follows him, sitting herself in a seat at the bar and leaning on the bar in front of her. ]

He did? What's happened since then? Did he remember you when he returned?

[diehardreaper]

[ Ah good. She's looking much better. But he slides himself back behind the bar. ]

Well... Doesn't really remember me, truth be told.

[ But there's a laugh from that. He's good. ]

M'not giving up on him though! Bit of a special lad he is.

action;

[spiria]

Oh, I'm sorry ... I know how that is.

[ She's glad to see he's not giving up, though. He's a lot stronger than she is for that. ]

I'm glad you're not giving up on him. He's lucky to have someone like you.

[diehardreaper]

[ Is it strength or stubbornness? No one really knows. ]

Wish he knew that from the start, miss.

[ There's the tiniest hint of a smile as he reaches for a few bottles here and there and slides over a coke with grenadine syrup and a cherry. ]

Wager it was a bit too early to bring out anything with a bit more kick. On the house, compliments of the barkeep as thanks for the kind words.

[spiria]

[ We'll get this one drunk someday

She takes it and offers him a smile. ]

Thank you. I still maintain that the 'kind words' were based on truth, though.

[ She sighs a little. ]

I was pretty close with someone, and then she left the city for a while. Since she's come back, I've been a little afraid of getting to know her all over again. She didn't remember me.

[ it will be wonderful and terrible at the same time.
He listens intently, resting his head on his hand as he settles down to watch her. ]

What'd you do then...?

[ Nail on the head again, sister from another mister. ]

action;

[spiria]

[ I headcanon that she's a moodswinging drunk.

Kohaku sighed. ]

I haven't really done anything. I've been too afraid to. I wished her hello again, welcomed her back, but from then she and I haven't really spoken at all.

[diehardreaper]

[ Aw babbu

He reaches over to ruffle her hair, smiling a bit. Yeah, he's right there with you. ]

You too, eh? When he came in, I was real happy to see him. Him...? Not so much. Hasn't been the same since.

[ Glancing off though. ]

D'you think it ever will be...?

action;

[spiria]

I hope so. It would really suck to lose any more friends to this place.

[ She smiles a little at the hair ruffle. Ronnie was really a nice guy. ]
