[So, how many of you are using the threat of curious lizagons to stay inside? How many of you re bored yet?

[Maybe that's why Leedin has carted in a bunch of sand, and it's covering half of the clear floor on the north side of the floor. There's even plenty of colors -- white, grays and black, reds, oranges and yellows, pink and even a few patches of olive green and purple. ]

[OOC: Leedin will probably let this persist until tomorrow.]

O-oi you wanna eat or not??

It can wait. There's something more important to do, yeah.

There are a lot of more important things to do. Right now I'm concentrating on the ones I can do....

Red...

[Reaches up as if he's going to place a hand against Red's cheek but---]

[That expression]

[Reaches to pull him into a hug instead]

H-hey! I'm not the one who needs this!

[...hugs back anyway]

Maybe one day I'll believe you when you say that. S'not gonna be today though.

Talk to me? This is more than just Pochi coming home beat up.

Lenalee's been...cursed to be obedient. Ah, also, Pecha has been looking for you. He brought her home, thankfully....

Cursed to be...

[Pulls back from Red]

It's that damn bite, isn't it?

Yep.

We'll find a way to fix it.

Any ideas?

I'll go make rounds with the gods. Surely one of them knows how to deal with Lady Bitey.

And you can smother her and Pochi in cuddles in the meantime. They'll need you.

That's what I've been doing.

[This time he does put a hand on Red's cheek]

Are you really feeling those smiles?

It'll all be fine, especially with you on the case.

Yes, we'll figure something out. All of us. But---

For someone with a heart as big as yours... [Another tug on his arm to lead him to the couch]

Indulge me.

[lets himself be led]

You won't be satisfied until I do.

You know me so well!

[Commence pulling Red down to the couch and giving him all the hair pets]

Let's see if the reverse is true.

Lenalee and Syaoran are the ones who need this....

And they'll get it. Have been getting it because you won't settle for anything less than giving them your all. And I'll do what I can, too, yeah.

But you're hurt, too. It hurts to not be able to protect the people you love. To not know what you can do to help the. And that hurt is festering because you're putting on a confident and happy face for them.

[Hair pets. Hair pets]

You need this, too.

I can't help her at all.

[face in hands]

You can. You are.

Don't think for a second that being there for her isn't helping. It's the most important thing you can do for her right now.

If I don't tell her things to do she gets jittery and upset....

It's hard. I can't imagine how hard it is on both of you.

[Puts a hand over one of Red's and gives it a squeeze]

She trusts and loves you, Red. She wouldn't want anyone helping her through this but you.

You're both strong enough to get through this.

I know, so why complain?
