<IBUKI> hello!! ibuki mioda here!!! ゚.+:。(≧∇≦)ノ゚.+:。
<IBUKI> if you're here to talk to ibuki, leave her a message!! okay?
<IBUKI> she'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible! ♪(゚▽^*)ノ⌒☆
EXCUSE YOU, HE IS A BADASS... he would like to think, as actually a nerd
But no nothing that big, and I mean we're gonna win anyway right???
But it's just that I'm scared
I know it's not gonna happen because we're gonna make SURE it doesn't happen but I look at all the monsters saying shit about how "I DON'T CARE WHO GETS HURT IF WE KILL THE FOG GOD" and I don't want that to happen
I'd wanna die without you.
no subject
[That's really, really weirdly touching... well, no, maybe it's not that weird, how touching it is.
But still, it does go in and prod her deep in the heart, somewhere.]
you don't have to be scared!! i'll make SURE we're on the right track, and that the fog god is safe, even while looking for ways for those people to get home!
i promise!!
but i mean, for your questions:
1. that's a lot! saying you'd be NOTHING without me is a lot! there is a lot that makes lucas "lucas", and just because a small part of it is "ibuki" now, doesn't mean that taking "ibuki" away makes you no longer lucas!
it's nice to hear you think that much of having me around though...
2. there's a lot of stuff that i'm proud of you for!!! like every time you look for me so you can tell me you've done something nice, or when i see you on the network having fun talking to people and making friends, or how you're embracing changing up your looks so you're flashier and so your outside matches your inside, or even just when you're making fun things for the two of us to play with... i'm really proud of what you're doing, big cat!
really really proud!!
AAAAND
3. ibuki's not so sure she could handle not having YOU around, either.
no subject
Of course you will, I trust you.
[...There's a pause off of that, because of --
...You know. The questions.]
No I'd be NOTHING without you.
It's not a small part of me
I know I'm smart and stuff like that but what would that COUNT for if it wasn't for you
You're not a small part of me, I mean.
Too much would be missing if you were to ever go away again and I'M SO SCARED ABOUT WHAT IT'D BE LIKE IF THAT HAPPENED.
[...HEEEE PAUSES EXTRA-LONG ON THAT SECOND PART, THOUGH...!]
For real
You're really fucking proud of me
You really think I've been doing a good job??
I'm so happy I could just have a fucking heart attack if I wasn't already dead
[...Speaking of "AND"?]
Ibuki.
[YUP, THAT'S... ALL HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO WORDS ON THAT MATTER.
...UNTIL.]
Come over ok???
I mean I bet you were gonna any3way but still
no subject
She had actually been mid-writing a reply that started with "well, i'd rather say all this in person, but..." when he...
Well. Asked for her to come over.
So they can talk in person, she's guessing.
So that reply gets trashed, scrapped in lieu of gathering up her backpack and speeding out.
Running full sprint to his house, attempting to waste as little time as possible and keep that reply fresh in her mind, getting there in the smallest amount of time she can -
Though she, uh. Does skid to a stop in his yard, before wandering up to knock on his door when she gets there, rocking impatiently from the balls of her feet to her heels and back again.]
Luuuuucaaaaas...!
[It's, ah.
It's a howl.
Predictably.]
no subject
AND OF COURSE HE BASICALLY JERKS INTO ACTION IN HEARING IT, OPENS THE DOOR WITH AN INVERSE SLAM, AND BASICALLY TACKLES HER INTO A HUG.
...Seriously, he kind of half-runs from his door to her hard-eyed and grabs her like there's no tomorrow.
Complete with a little whine in his throat.]
no subject
That said? And related to that howling?
She's letting out another one as she's all but tackled, though she does throw her own arms out to catch him as best she can!
And they get tossed around him to hold him close, too.]
J-jeez, Lukie, you nearly knocked me right over...!
You need to be careful; Ibuki's still teeny tiny compared to you!
[That's said with an added peck to his temple, of course.]
no subject
AAAAND that gets her another squeaking noise like a... watery, high-trickling "awwww...!" as she wraps her arms around him...!
His wrapping further up her back, rocking his weight side-to-side, turning with her in a move like a little slow-dance -- something like a sneezing noise as he buries his face in her hair and... there's giggle when that little smooch lands...!
As needy as his noises are!
Iiiit's pretty bright and happy and genuine.
He pulls his head back.
Eyes glowin' as he locks them all easy-and-content-like on hers as he husks out, over a little underlying bounce and bob of heart...!]
-- IIII ain't that big -- ...!
[...Proud as he is of his height? And her... being, you know, objectively right?
She probably knows what he means by that - she was there when he made it clear he was worried being rail-thin makes him unattractive.
That said! He's gonna... continue to rock and turn with her, as long as she lets him.
Tuck his face back against her hair and -- go brow-knit and concerned-eyes for a moment as he takes a pretty open inhale in through his nose.
Can he help it if it's comforting.
Buuut he punctuates it with a shut of his eyes and a peck right back, right between the horns, and then... a rest of his cheek against the top of her head, as he grins again.
Full-on. His eyes upward-curving, as he trickles out furthermore, with a squeak and a lilt:]
-- You mean that -- ?
[...Yyyyoooou're definitely going to need to clarify what it is you're asking about, here.]
