[ Della's face pops up looking... well, like everyone else - exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. She smacks her beak a bit, before speaking. ]
... So. That sucked.
[ Fully aware that's the understatement of the century, Della draws a breath, and tries again. ]
I think we could all use a nice, long breather after everything... and, gosh darn it, as Train Mom, that is my sacred duty. Hugs? Head on the lap? Head-pats telling you that you did a good job? A shoulder to cry on? Venting out all your feelings without judgement? I'm right here.
[ She slaps her chest, then slaps a small sign on on the sports/gym car. It reads
EXHAUST PILE WITHIN
But as she does this, Tidus enters the scene - Della jumps, surprised, almost forgetting his presence.
He just smiles, holding up two cups with steam coming off them, then addresses the video feed as well. ]
We're also making big batches of cocoa too. Any of you that're gonna stress bake? There's room for that room - s'long as you don't need a nap first.
[ It's a small chide though, his smile small but sympathetic. ]
I've gotten out some incense pots from the supplies - you guys who got your head thrown into a blender by that aash-- uh, that jerk, [ he takes a swift glance at Della, then back ] --it'll help you relax. Just some, but better than nothin'. I'll set some off in Momma Duck's air nest, but if you're not doing great and you think you need a pot? Tell me. Raven made a lot of good stuff for good nights sleep if you need any in the medcar, too.
... So, yes. Cocoa. Incense. Hugging. And if you want to sleep with friends for a couple nights, we got air beds and extra pillows in here. Nobody has to get up and go until they feel ready.
And if that's not enough, that's fine too. Maybe next month we do something a little more organized, if you have any suggestions - movie night, sleepover night, big eat night, whatever, I'm listening. And I'm here for you.
[ Action ]
And inside the sports gym, the pair can be found. They have a few airbeds blown up, but there's more that still need airing up if you pop in straight after their message. There's also a tremendous amount of pillows. If you want to help, get blowing, and make these airbeds look nice and comfy!
The transgate from the standard coach has mysteriously been moved to the sports gym's outer hallway. Who did that? But it makes it easier to bring in the cups of hot chocolate from the kitchens, and for anyone who wants to bring snacks to do so. Take a seat, remember to bring your sleeping bag and whatever else you want. Plushes, your own musical instrument to offer some de-stress medication of your own with a melody.
And there's an area where small incense pots burn away, a gentle mist rising up. It won't heal the mind completely, but it will offer it some peace. And if you're worried about nightmares, a few of Raven's sachets and teas are available.
So come get a mom hug. Come and offer hugs. Just come and get something out of the company, whatever it is. Tidus and Della - and others - will be here to give a hand.
The life you had might've been fake, but the people around you aren't.
((OOC: consider this a mingling post, where everyone is free to tag everyone else! be the comforter, the one offering comfort, both, whatever!))

"I mean..you must miss them right?" Prompto said shyly with a little smile. He didn't really mind that.
"I...okay, um, thank you. I really like you too. I meant that. I mean. I didn't know I meant that then but I mean it, but uh, there's...it's complicated."
He considered quietly, looking for his words. "Noctis..is..." A complication. A huge complication. "He's my king." He decided to go there. "And I swore to protect him to the death. So that's- I mean, I've heard - that's not very comfortable for other people to know that...that they might not be the first person I think of in a crisis."
no subject
He held his hand out to Prompto, smiling. "Just know that if you need me, I'll be there. I'll help protect you... I don't want you to have to give up your life if I can help it."

"I'm not planning on dying, but if like, someone was coming after Noct I'd have to step in instead." That was just the way it was. He promised. It didn't matter that they were here and not at home.
"Also, uh, he kind of confessed to me too in the illusion." Prompto said with a little wince. "We haven't...talked about it yet. I might've thought he didn't mean it, or that it was because of the thing, but uh, if you meant it then he might've too."

"I mean, yeah, I love Noct, and have for years, but I mean there's not a future with him either? I mean, he's getting married." He frowned. "He has to do that, it's, it was always going to be that way. It's to try and stop the war and everything."
His free hand ran through his hair. "I wasn't expecting this to happen. Uh, any of it." It wasn't like he could just date both of them, right, so he'd have to talk to Noctis too. "I'm sorry." He murmured. It didn't seem fair to Casper.
no subject
His other hand reached up to brush against Prompto's cheek. "The fact that you are worried about this shows that you care. Never let go of that. It's part of what makes you special."
no subject
It was an honest question. Prompto could be pushed to choose, which wouldn't lead to too many hard feelings, he would hope, but he smiled at the gentle touch.
"I wouldn't let go of it. I do have to talk to Noct, but not right now. I'd rather sit with you right now." Noctis was kind of processing too, he would bet.
no subject
"Thank you. ... Mmm. Did you run into anyone else you knew during the mission? Not from the train, I mean?"
no subject
"Nah, I didn't." Prompto shook his head. "But I had family I was living with, that was pretty cool."
no subject

"They bailed for work when I was young and I saw them on and off, and once I turned eighteen we didn't talk anymore." He tried not to focus on any of that, because he couldn't say what went wrong with the relationship.
"Me too."

"I have all kinds of stories that are totally not embarrassing to me in one way or another." He chuckled. "Or, are definitely not embarrassing about Noct. Ignis has never let me catch him in some weird position. He's no fun that way."

They couldn't get much past Ignis, it was horrible for their teenage selves! Think of how terrible it was, always getting caught in their mischief.
