if that's meant to be an illusion, it's not a funny one.

[ wow. ]

[probe]

no, it's not. which is why i don't like being in there.

[aubins]

... why the colour changes though? just... how long it's been since they died?

[probe]

i think so? that'd be my best guess.

[aubins]

...

yeah. not the most pleasant. i can see why you're not a fan of going in there.

[probe]

there are a few rooms like that here that i don't like
just try not to worry about it too much okay?

1/2

[aubins]

... which ones?

...


i'll try.

2/2

[aubins]

...
you any good at video games, fire bird?

[probe]

the void room for one


i am, just like i'm good at everything!
you challenging me?

[aubins]

with the weird crystals?


sure. you’ll win but...... maybe i’ll give you a challenge along the way. [ he won’t ]

[probe]

[she just! appears next to him! there's a little pop sound and a burst of flame when she does. also, she's wearing her hood.]

I do like a challenge.

[aubins]

[ welp. hello. he'll give the hood a little tug. ]

Feeling shy today?

[probe]

[she holds onto the hood, almost... nervously.]

Yes. [:(]

[aubins]

...

[ he doesn't move the hood up. but he does tug her and the hood down a little so he can press a kiss to her forehead through the hood. ]

Are you in trouble?

[probe]

[oh, she likes that, at least.]

No, I just - uh, I don't like the way I look today. Is all.

[aubins]

... Is this like you angry cracking your hand the other week?

[probe]

Kind of.

[...]

My hair won't change back. So.

[aubins]

... Firebird, what happened to your hair?

[ he could take a guess, and... well. you know. that's probably apparent. ]

[probe]

[she sighs, and pulls out some of her hair from her hood. it's liquid-y, like lava.]

[aubins]

[ she gets a hug. hopefully he doesn't burn himself on the lava hair but he'll be careful. ]

You are still delightful, whatever your hair is doing.

...

We'll figure this out. There's got to be a way to get it under control, right?

[probe]

[he does not! the lava hair doesn't seem to burn anything at all. she goes easily though, resting her head against his shoulder.]

I know. [she knows she's still great! she's just.] ... I don't know if there's a way, but I guess we'll see.

[aubins]

[ good to know. he'll wrap an arm around her so he can stroke the back of her head through the hood. ]

Oh, I doubt it'll be easy.

But if there is one, we'll find it. We're all as nosy as hell.

[probe]

[she very much appreciates the touch - she seems to ease into it, tension fading a little.

actually, maybe she'll just wrap her arms around him and cling very tightly to the back of his shirt, hiding her face in the hood and against his chest.]

[aubins]

[ ah. there she goes.

he'll shift his arms around her so he's properly hugging her back, rubbing one hand against her back. ]

[probe]

[she's going to stay here for a bit because her shoulders are shaking just a bit and she needs a minute.

she was fine until he actually was affectionate back!!!]
