[ well, those he's gotten used to in here ]

Do you want help?

[She nods.]

I've...been waiting for people.

The fort won't stay up without a strong base.

Who have you been waiting for?

[ comes over to sit down by her ]

You guys.

Sakura said there were a lot of people coming who wanted to help.

He's right. There are a lot of people here.

. . . Did you want to share some of the pumpkin soup I have left? Before we start working on building. It might help.

Where'd you get Pumpkin Soup?

From another area.

[ he'll ... get it out of his sylladex to hold the thermos out to her ]

...Life?

I think she was the only one with food....

Yeah. It was from Life.

[ he wasn't sure if this younger Roxy would know ]

...

[Nods.] Will you have some too?

Of course I will.

[ he's not surprised to hear that question at all ]

Good.

[Let's pour some pumpkin soup then. \o/]

[ ye drink and be merry together, yes! ]

Do you know what might be good for a strong base?

[ while they're sharing soup ]

[More Lifey feels for aaaaall.]

What?

[ yesssss ]

Ah. I mean... Do you know? What might be good for helping this. My powers are only good at destroying.

Oh!

Yes. I do.

[She's grabbing a green cube and holding it out.]

Friendship, bonds, that's the stuff I need.

So like...wishes for me, for our relationship, why you feel that way. Focusing on those kind of feelings will help.

[ takes the cube and looks at it ]

Rin-- Sakura also suggested we use the pool together. Would you like that? It might help me focus on that feeling better. To share that with you.

...sure.

[ ain't it magical what a little life soup can do for injuries? though, his hand will probably still have dried blood on it. he stands up and holds his hand out to her, holding the cube in his other hand ]

[Magical life soup is super helpeful.]

[She's...not surprised by blood, but at least it's dried. '-']

[Taking his hand. Let's head over to the pumpkin pool!]

[ blood seems to be a common thing around here. leading her over there ]

Do you want to climb in like this?

[ or. strip down a little? or mysterious option three ]

[She shrugged and pulling off her clothes.] Probably shouldn't get the clothes wet.

[HEY.]

[GUESS WHO ELSE DOESN'T GET THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CLOTHES?]

[The girl who grew up the species who didn't wear pants.]

[ WELP. guess we're both stripping down, since she's on board with the party. once he's stripped down, he'll be climbing down into the pool first and looking at her to join in ]

[Best party.]

[She's gonna jump in! Yay, water.]

[ pretty much! once in there, he's going to relax, letting out a long sigh. this has about as great of vibes at the life elixir for him. in this state of clarity, he'll be able to focus on the hopes he has. he's going to try to tap his powers to help with this. destruction can cause creation, right? the counterbalance he's been learning in this heart has been helping him focus more on that power. that one side isn't always bad, just "misunderstood."

what he wants is to tear down that anxiety-- maybe not even with her, but within himself-- about friendship. maybe even if he cannot sort those feelings out now, at least he can try to overcome one of the stops. he reminds himself of the things he's learned, the lengths he's been willing to go for her and what she's done for him in return. balance. counterbalance. growth. joy. pain. in this short while of knowing her, he's built his own strong base in what could be considered a friendship and he's going to will those feelings into helping try to destroy that barrier between them and forge something new with her.

it's probable that she's the first person here he can consider a "friend"-- the person he knows the best now, and he hopes that she will be able to know him, too. even if he doesn't have much to offer, as he grows and learns and regains, he hopes he can share that with her. the good. the bad.

he banks on the future promise of telling her about this. the promise of swimming together-- not just together, but with other "friends."

he'll try to tear at that feeling that's trying to hold back from growing that bond, pushing through it. hoping for something more out of destroying that ]
