[Wait, what was that sound?]

[Pokes again.]

[unguilded]

[ Laughs a little again. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Omg.]

[Poke poke poke.]

[unguilded]

[ Well, this seems to be amusing her, and that poking DOES feel hilarious, so he'll indulge her a bit more and keep up with the laughter, only now since he's amused too it's just getting funny so he's laughing a little harder. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Omg, that sound. *_*]

[Poking with both fingers now.]

[unguilded]

[ We can just. Do this so much. This is too cute.

Though at some point in the midst of her poking, he gives her a curious look, and points one of his own fingers out toward her a bit. Do you wanna see how that feels? ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Paaaaaaaaaaause.]

[Maybe.]

[unguilded]

[ He'll vvvvvery slowly move that hand forward, then, just in case she changes her mind and wants to be the alpha-poker.

But if she lets him, he will lightly poke her in the arm. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She jumps at that.]

[And]

[Well]

[That touch sensitivity thing, holy shit.]

[unguilded]

[ Pulls the hand back easily enough! And gives her an apologetic look. ]

Sorry. No more?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Unsure look. It was...weird.]

[unguilded]

Maybe, like this?

[ Holds his hand out again, palm up, so she can poke and touch it at her own leisure to get used to it. The look he gives her says "I want to help" and "it's okay, it's not that bad a feeling when you get a little used to it." ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

[Slowly reaches out to take his hand, flinching at the first touch, but then likely feeling it, getting used to the feeling.]

[unguilded]

It's warm, right? And nice.

[lucciola]

[um]

... Rook, what are you laughing at?

[unguilded]

[ What. Looks at him. ]

You can't see her?

[lucciola]

[shakes his head]

Her? Is it Roxy?

[unguilded]

Yeah...

I guess you have to do something yourself in here, too.

[lucciola]

Aah. What did you do?

[unguilded]

The same thing we've done in other rooms, to help move things along.

[ Winks at him. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Changes man.]

[lucciola]

[So... he looks around, at the room at large, and tries to get a feel for if there's anything that feels inherently Roxy and also how the room feels overall, or the entire house, for that matter]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Loneliness. But not just loneliness. There is a sort of grim strength here. Self reliance. Have to be able to take care of herself, has to be able to handle anything, there will be no support, and if she CAN'T, then she's dead.]

[Be strong, be quick, be smart.]

[Defend yourself, do what you can to help Dirk.]

[It hurts, it's lonely, it's suffocating, you hate it you hate it you hate it and you just want to have someone else with you, to not have to be on your own.]

[But this room, in particular...]

[You're getting on in years, you're getting more capable than the Carapacians. They tried to care for you, but they weren't equipped, but that's all right. They tried, so you want to try. You want to help them not suffer so much, and maybe if you get enough pumpkins, it doesn't have to be so bad.]

[But it's a hollow lie.]

[lucciola]

[That strength, he focuses on that, tries to draw it out more into the open, not have the loneliness overshadow everything. Even if he doesn't want the solitude it to go away, it should stay as only a moderate part of the general self, because there's much more to a person than that. Be it strength, determination and the fact that no one else can be you. It's not a very hopeful or happy feeling, but hopefully comforting, and he focuses on letting it empower the area, the items around and all the things you do for yourself and others. It's all part of you, the strength, power and heart. The loneliness too. But it's possible to keep walking, and as long as you're here, you can make a difference to the world around you, and it's important to stay yourself. Because that's what matters the most, and it's what makes you grow... makes things grow.

He also tries to pry away the blanket of dull overlaying everything and get to the true colours of their surroundings, make them appear as they are, more vivid and colourful.]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[The strength grows, the determination, self reliance.]

[But the dull doesn't go and it's almost like it's more....rigid now.]

[He still doesn't see Roxy.]
