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. ]

[ That hum tells her that Colette understood. She knew she would. Colette was just that sort of person. Kohaku sighs, burying her face into the other girl's shoulder. ]

Please ... would you stay with me for a while?

[She nods against the other girl's shoulder.

She will always be there if she's asked and aware of it.]

I'll be here as long as you want me to be.

[spiria]

Thank you ... we'll go for ice cream later or something. Okay?

[ She'll just keep clinging to Colette for the time being. ]

[She gives a tiny nod again.]

Mm. I think that sounds like a good idea.

[spiria]

Okay ...

[ At this point, she can't hold back the tears she was holding back before. She buries her face into Colette's shoulder again and starts to cry again. ]

[Colette just hums again, keeping her hold on Kohaku.

Her crying like this is actually kind of familiar, because of back then, but she's not going to give that more than a momentary acknowledgement.

The crying this time is for a much different reason.]
