oops the muse woke up

[martelapproves]

Why aren't I surprised that you forgot about me so easily?

It's so typically human of you. Sending me to places like that, and then completely forgetting about me after. It really doesn't surprise me anymore.

Just go back to reading that stupid book. I was starting to like the quiet.

[mweee! :D squishes against Tori a little, with a small pout]

I know, but...a Mithos is a Mithos, right? And he's always hurt and in need of good friends to show him that the world isn't as bad as he thinks it is! That he can trust people!

[skirtcladgunner]

[INTERNAL SQUEALING.]

You really have a neverending faith in people, don't you?

[dreamingartist]

Well...I just like to believe most people are good at heart, even if they don't show it!

[skirtcladgunner]

[Relaxes.]

Yeah, I know.

[dreamingartist]

[hugs!]

I know there's some truly bad ones out there, but they're not the majority!

[skirtcladgunner]

You're a way better person than me, you know that?

[Snugglesnuggle. But really, he is and she knows it.]

[dreamingartist]

T-that's not true, Tori! You're a wonderful person, you're so strong and kind and you always protect everyone...I only wish I could be half as strong as you are.

[skirtcladgunner]

Heh. [There's no point in arguing--she knows who will win, in this case. Jeb is persistent.] Thanks. Glad you think so.

[dreamingartist]

I do. And I'm always proud to have you on my side...but someday, I'll be strong enough to protect you as well!

[skirtcladgunner]

[No. No, stop being cute where Mithos can see it. reguhtruhgutr.]

Oh, come on! You already are.

[dreamingartist]

As much as I can. You know I'm not all that strong.

[skirtcladgunner]

...that's not true.

[dreamingartist]

It is, though. I can't use a weapon, and my power isn't that much... [He also feels guilty because his power might be tiring to use a whole lot of at once, but it doesn't make him physically ill the way Tori's does to her.]

[skirtcladgunner]

You're strong in a way that matters more!

[dreamingartist]

I know, but sometimes I don't feel like it does...but that's my own fault, too. I know I don't have a lot of confidence in myself.

[skirtcladgunner]

I'll help you with that. I swear I will.

[dreamingartist]

I know...I know you will. Thank you, Tori. [hugs her tight, smiling and closing his eyes]

[skirtcladgunner]

You're welcome.

[Ah, cuddling is so wonderful.]

[dreamingartist]

[nuzzles her, feeling safe]

You're the best, Tori. I love you so much.

[skirtcladgunner]

[...heh.]

I love you too.

[dreamingartist]

...I'm glad you're back. I got worried about you, in that game...your mun told mine that some pretty terrible things happened.

[skirtcladgunner]

Oh, really? W-Well, it wasn't that bad! Really, it was no big deal!

[Okay, so it was. But Jeb doesn't need to concern himself with it...!]

[dreamingartist]

Are you sure...? The way your mun talked about it, well...
