Day 3, overnight

[snackcakeordeath]

[Just before the time votes generally get announced, the smoke alarm in the basement starts giving an ear-splitting buzz. Hope you weren't trying to get some quiet time in your dressing room, since for a good five, ten minutes, it is not very quiet.

[Then, thankfully, the alarm shuts off abruptly. A moment later, Little Debbie herself comes shrieking over the monitors. She looks furious.]

What in the world do you devil squares think you're doing!? You had to do this today? Really? First, the cold fishest of dates, then the world's most boringest voting, and now you're messing up our stuff? Don't you know what all we're dealing with here!?

Seriously, if it wasn't such an important day, you guys'd be in sooo much trouble! So give your praises for my my sweet fucking demeanor-slash-absolute lack of time right now for dealing with this dollar bin garbage, and start getting your keisters in gear! Romance is a legitimate genre, just look at the book sales! And I want a piece of that Fabio pie! So you nutty buddies are gonna get out there, you're gonna date, there's gonna be some sparks, and we're gonna get top trending numbers tomorrow, or else!

[The girl stomps her foot, near tantrum; Swiss Miss takes over.]

Whatever you think you've done, it did not work. No more mini-marshmallows until you improve. Marshmallows are for closers.



PS, Kimi and Elise are dead.

[Ah. Well. That's not quite what he meant, but he'll. just. comply with that. Because he did worry about Soren. ...J-just a bit.

Oh no, gotta... keep cool. ...'Try' is the keyword.

So he finally lets go of Ike's hands. But he then wraps his arms gently around Ike into a hug, minding the bandaging as much as he could.]

Maybe I'm just a little on edge with two people dying this time. And hearing about that makes me more worried now. [Lies... But hoping that works. Tries to lighten it up again?] Or maybe I just wanna help warm you up more since I couldn't be much help there or for patching you up.

Ranulf...

[Returns the hug, squeezing a little tighter than Ranulf is doing.]

[bestmothercat]

[ His eyes widen and he stiffens a bit at the returned contact, like he wasn't even expecting it at all. He then relaxes and lets his hands run up and down Ike's back, frowning more at how cool to the touch Ike still felt. ]

It's long over but you still feel cold to the touch... Maybe I'm just being a total mothercat, but let me fix that.

[you_like_ike]

I'm sorry I put you through so much worry.

[Still hugging him close. Sighs on Ranulf's shoulder because he's pretty tired more than anything else.]

[bestmothercat]

Eh? You don't have to- Why are you-...? [ rails off because again, he's just surprised. Also something he wasn't anticipating. The apology tugged at his heart and he resists the urge to frown again as he lets out a relaxed sigh and lets one his hands move up to stroke Ike's hair gently, just enjoying this weight in his arms. A weight that he wants to be more familiar with.

When he's this close he can smell more of him, too... ]

....You didn't do anything wrong. That's just me being me. I promise.

Ah, you look like you're about to pass out any second. Want me to carry you?

[you_like_ike]

......I forgot how strong you laguz are. That didn't seem likely that you could just carry me around until I remembered. Still kind of funny to imagine.

[Relaxes a little at the hand in his hair.]

...Ah. I am pretty tired. I can still walk, though.
