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'll take it, gladly. Thanks, baby bro. Though, her mind is obviously elsewhere even still. She nods. ]

But for how long ...

[ She didn't mean for it to come out like that. She didn't want to be so negative about any of this, not after giving Rin a pep talk about the exact same thing a while back. ]

M'Sorry.

[ She'll just take a sip of her lemonade and shut up now. ]

For as long as we possibly can be.

[It's a blunt, honest answer, but there's no point in lying to her. Still, after a moment there's a grin added to that as he leans on the counter, looking down to try to catch her eyes.]

But you can guarantee I'm gonna fight that coral every step of the way.

[ She looks up a little and into his eyes, smiling a little as she sees his smile. ]

I know you will.

Good.

[Rin smiles back, glad that he could at least get that much of a smile out of her. It's not going to fix things, of course, but he was able to help some how.]

[ It doesn't matter that you're a dirty boy right now, Rin. She's going to set her lemonade on the table and move over to give you another tight hug. ]

[keepsthefire]

[He is a-ok with another hug.]

[ good because she's not letting go for a while. ]
