Continuation of this thread!


I'm just glad you're okay.

<sub>[Ruca still frowned slightly with worry looking at Colette. He didn't doubt she was okay, but she really scared him quite a bit when she fell.

When the girl draped the blanket over his shoulders the frown on his face only deepen. It didn't feel right to him to just accept the blanket. He couldn't help but worry about Colette.]</sub>

What about you Colette? Aren't you cold, too?

[angelfeathers]

[ Angelic abilities were really something; no matter how cold the room may have been, she didn't feel any of it. Ruca didn't know that, though, and that fact may have slipped her mind ... ]

Nope! I'm just fine!

[ And just to convince him further, she's got the biggest smile on her face! No, this wasn't weird in the least. ]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[That was at least surprising to hear.]}

A-are you sure?

_{[Because he was pretty sure anyone would be freezing in here. And no, Colette's smile didn't make him feel better; in fact it made his worry even more than he already did.]}

I think you should take the blanket...

[angelfeathers]

[ Colette shakes her head. ]

You need it more, Ruca. I'm okay, I promise.

[ Maybe she should tell him that she can't feel the cold ... ]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[If she doesn't tell him, he'll be worried forever. And feeling bad.]}

B-but... it's so cold here...

_{[How can anybody be okay in this cold.]}

[angelfeathers]

[ Yeah, now might be a good time. It's not like it was much of a secret anymore, anyway ... Colette put on a smile again, though this one was much softer than the ones before. ]

It's okay. I can't feel it.

[ She was sure that he would ask more about it, but that was all she said for now. ]

[demonicbookworm]

What... do you mean?

_{[Of course he would ask. How would it be possible for someone to not feel the cold after all?]}

I haven't played symphonia in forever orz

[angelfeathers]

I can't feel it.

[ She hugs her legs to her chest and looks down at the floor. ]

I'm an angel. In order to become an angel, though, I had to give up parts of my humanity.

[demonicbookworm]

An angel...?

_{[Ruca is surprised, but what surprises him the most are Colette's next words.]}

B-but... why?

[angelfeathers]

It's a really long story ...

[ One that she wasn't sure she wanted to tell right now. She got her point across, right? She looks to him and gives him another huge smile. ]

But, really, I'm okay! So don't worry so much about me. Just use that blanket and warm yourself up, Ruca.

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[Ruca understands. He is not going to ask anymore, but the worried look doesn't leave his face even in this case.

It still doesn't feel right to him.]</sub>

I'll still worry.

[angelfeathers]

[ Oh, she doesn't want him to worry ... Colette looks to the blanket. ]

... Do you think it will cover both of us? I want you to be as warm as possible, Ruca.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[He glances at the blanket, then blushes a little at the thought.]}

I guess... it would.

[angelfeathers]

[ It's a totally innocent suggestion, Gosh Ruca. ]

If you'll worry ... I guess we could share it.

[ She doesn't want him to worry. But she wants him to be warm, too. This is totally a good idea. ]

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[What, you're talking about someone who'd blush even if you grabbed his hand!!

But this is probably the best solution. That way they both will be warm and he won't have to worry about her anymore.]</sub>

...Alright.

[angelfeathers]

[ So we have an oblivious derp and an adorable smartypants derp who blushes at everything. This is an adorable matchup.

With that confirmation, though, Colette moves in closer. ]

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[Oh yes. And they shall be adorable together-- I mean...

Ruca drapes the blanket over Colette's shoulder. A little blush can still be seen on his cheeks.]</sub>

I think I may have gotten some facts wrong ....

[angelfeathers]

[ Psh, they're always adorable together.

Colette smiles at him in turn, a small blush on her own cheeks as she catches sight of his blush. The fact that he was so embarrassed about it was making her a bit embarrassed, too ...

Well.

Here they were.

Together.

Under a blanket.

Very. Close. Together.

... What do. ]

/pats

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[They're so close. Too close! But...

It's kind of nice... and warm.

Or maybe it's just his cheeks heating up as the blush spreads on them.

It doesn't help that she is also blushing.]</sub>

Re: /pats

[angelfeathers]

[ There is indeed a lot of blushing going on here ... Colette notices his bigtime, though. ]

Oh, good, it must be working ... your face is red.

[ She doesn't really get that he's blushing because he's so close to her. Derp. ]

[demonicbookworm]

It is?

_{[No, Colette. Don't mention that! You only make him blush more now.]}

[angelfeathers]

Yeah! You've warmed up a lot ...

[ She places a hand on his forehead, out of habit ... and then, when she realizes she can't feel the heat of his skin under her hand, her face falls and she removes it. ]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[What Colette has done only made things worse. Ruca blushes even more and that has absolutely nothing to do with him warming up.]}

Ah, n-no! ...I-I mean...

_{[He isn't sure what he's trying to say.]}

[angelfeathers]

Hm? Is something wrong?

[ She's worrying about him again ... ]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[And he notices she's worried. He looks away.]}

N-no... it's nothing. I'm fine.

[angelfeathers]

[ Colette looks away, too. Was she being too much of a bother? She hoped not ... she just wants to know for sure that Ruca was okay.

... But she trusts him. If he says he's fine, then ... he's fine, right? ]

Okay.

[ She stops fussing over him and hugs her knees to her chest with one arm, resting her head on her knees while the other arm holds the blanket around her side of it. ]

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[Ruca glances at Colette... What should he do. Just what. This is so awkward and embarrassing and...!

He... will move a bit closer to her. Only a little bit. And smile at her. To show her that he really is okay.

But his smile looks nervous and he is still blushing.]</sub>

So, um...

[angelfeathers]

[ She sees his smile, and returns it. Ruca is so sweet ... Colette is really glad that she was able to meet him. ]

Hm?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ah, she smiled at him too!]}

No, I only... I was wondering how long we will stay here...

_{[no, in fact he just wanted to have something to talk about. Silence would be too awkward right now.]}

[angelfeathers]

Oh ... I don't know. The storm seems really strong ...

[ She looks out the window. At this rate, the two of them would be snowed in ... but it was better than being out there. ]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca nods.]}

It's good that we can stay here...

<sub.[If they didn't find any shelter they would surely freeze there...]

[angelfeathers]

[ Colette was determined to make sure Ruca didn't freeze. And determined to make sure he wouldn't worry so much about it, too. ]

It is. It's much better that we have shelter of some sort.

[ She looks thoughtful. ]

But I wonder, who lived here before? It seems abandoned now ... probably has been for a long time, too.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[at those words, he looks around.]}

I don't know... but I guess someone must had made it for times like this. I don't think anyone could actually live here for long...
