Tell me how it tastes, Haru!

[ nom nom nom ]

It's all really good. You should try some.

[ the more the merrier, right? ]

Well, I guess if she's making it...

[ look, he's even offering some of his plate out toward you. sharing food is important to Roxy, let's show her us swimming boys can share, too ]

...make sure I don't use totally fake smiles often. Happens every once and a while and it's fine, but the reason we handled things as well as we did is 'cause we could find a real reason to smile in horrible sitches.

So even if it's a little reason to smile, I'll be fine. But if it's false, it'll start gettin' bad again.

Eh? I can now?

....

You know...I tried to do it in the rules. I acted off. I made it clear I was upset. I approached my friends, acted high strung and upset and basically just tried to scream 'I'm a wolf, I don't let on this panic unless I got a reason.'

...but I was too good of a liar. It was too early for most to even suspect that I watched what I said and did as much as I do. Sure a lot comes out that's stupid, but more often I'm watchin'.

Gets even worse because like two peeps picked it up. That I was too upset, but they only knew after it was too late.

I'll remember the things I learned in here to remind you.

[ like, even the fact that sometimes to get to that smile you gotta go through some pain-bonding first ]

[Pain bonding is kind of a thing, yes.]

[Nods.] I think that'll help.

I feel like I'm going to need someone to share this new-found pillow fort interest with anyway.

[She laughs.] Forts are always good.

Why are they so special to you?

...I just kinda like 'em? They make me feel safe?

[Because it's Homestuck.]

Ah. That's fine.

[ like water and him. he just wondered if there was deeper meaning ]

[There probably is, but only Hussie knows.]

Yeah. They're still cool though.

[ that damn Hussie ]

They are nice.

[ especially when made with fraaaands ]

...it's like...

Say, all my friends from back home aren't here, right?

But I'm fighting with all I've got because I know they're doing the same too.

Yes. And you can make 'em out of anything.

....

[What is your home?]

Anything you can stack, at least.

[ water would not a good fort make, unless you had some special water powers. and Sakura doesn't approve of the whole "sinking to the bottom of the pool" thing ]

[We could FREEZE the water?]

Yeppers!

Did the Pumpkin Soup help?

My home is a place that's been destroyed. But before that... there was all kinds of magic all around. Wizards of all sorts, powerful wielders of the elements, martial artists who look like they came from a kung fu movie...

It was awesome.

[ well, that could work, yes. have a pretty ice castle for these two princesses ]

It did. I shared it with Rage and Hope. There were two times I almost used it, but it wouldn't have been fair.

[THINKING THAT OVER, then nodding and snuggling closer, tiredly]

Okay. I'll leave you alone, when you wake up.

[Wait what.]

[Explain....all of that. Please?]
