[Video]

[ 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!))

He just smiled and stroked Inigo's hair. Yes everyone did such things and everyone deserved to be praised and when Taiki spoke to others he would make sure they knew that.

But Inigo was his friend, and he was bad at giving himself any credit at all.

There's another whine. Though this time it's not a whine with words, but just a regular, good old whiny sound before he speaks up again.

"I don't trust it when you don't say anything in return to that! I know what you're thinking!" He must be thinking that Inigo deserves it after all. Taiki, you fiend! Thinking these fiendish thoughts while cuddling with him!

Taiki smiles softly into his side. "You do?" He asked, "I'm glad. You should know." Just how much he cares, how much Inigo impresses him all the time.

His voice has a teasing quality though, it's nice, to be so comfortable with someone.

"Taaaiiikiiii," he whines.

Though Inigo doesn't protest with his full strength. Perhaps this is Taiki's true advantage - Inigo can't push back too hard against him, since he doesn't want the other to lose the ability to tease him. It's so rare for someone as sweet and polite as Taiki to do that, and Inigo doesn't want to give him the idea that he can't do it after all.

But it's still hard to endure. B-Be strong, Inigo...

"This is unfair. You're too cute." Especially when Taiki is cuddling with him!!

"I'm sorry that I must use my cuteness against you like this." There's a nervous lilt to his voice, he hasn't teased anyone like this in a long time. Not since he was a child and it had been nerve wracking even back then.

But he knows Inigo and he knows Inigo won't truly get upset at him. Especially when he is only telling the truth.

He tightens his arms, giving Inigo extra cuddles.

"You're right. You better be sorry." Not that Inigo sounds angry. No, he just sounds huffy in that way toddlers usually sound, even though Inigo is far from being a toddler.. physically, anyway.

But is he saying anything that's wrong? Taiki weaponizing his cuteness like this should be illegal! He's by far too cute and powerful to be allowed to pull this off!

"Because I really can't say no to anything when it's you."

.. and when he's getting extra cuddles.

Darn his cuddle weakness.

"You can." He says quietly. "And you should, if I do something you don't like."

Inigo should stand up for himself more, it was important. He keeps up the extra cuddles though, leaning sleepily on his friend.

It is very comfortable here, surrounded by the soft noises of people settling down to rest.

He can only mumble in response too that, far too weak to Taiki being all cute and sleepy and cuddly.

"It's not like you've ever done anything I didn't like."

Taiki's not the type.

".. other than compliment me, anyway." But Inigo is pretty sure that he'll never get the other to stop doing that. Ever.

"Good." He smiled at him, closing his eyes. "I'm glad." He would never want to do anything Inigo didn't like.

Except complimenting him. Because Inigo deserved that.
