[ ….. uughghghghggg. ]

How is it you’re so dumb about this kind of stuff, and then you pull lines like that?

[unsync]

[ THE WEIRD WAY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS HE'S BASICALLY BEEN TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING. You get the same response: ]

?

[ballies]

[ bECAUSE IT’S TRUE.



she just sighs and taps his nose with her very actually warm, very actually human finger. ]

Don’t change, okay? This you’s my favourite.

[unsync]

[ Augh. He instinctively wrinkles his nose a bit at being booped. ]

What other me is there?

[ballies]

[ pinches it. but only for a second. ]

The one who gets weirdly pedantic about paying me compliments.

[unsync]

[ Rubs his nose. ]

I wasn't being pedantic... I always compliment you when you want.

[ballies]

You got really focused on moms for a moment there. For whatever reason. We didn’t need to go down that path.

[unsync]

I just think they deserve some more love and respect.

[ballies]

Isn’t that why they have kids? For the love and attention, and also the tax breaks?

[unsync]

No! Well, not when you phrase it like that. You shouldn't have kids if their only purpose is your own ego.

[ballies]

I’m pretty sure there’s more people than you think having kids because “that’s what you’re supposed to do”, or “I need someone to take care of me when I’m older”.

[unsync]

I mean... I know there are people like that too...

[ballies]

Not exactly good reasons to have a kid either.

[unsync]

[ Now he's just depressed. ]

...Um... so, my room?

[ballies]

[ sweetie. ]

… I can give you actual hugs now.

[ c’mon. cuddle. 🥺 ]

[unsync]

I thought you wanted my kigurumi?

[ballies]

Do you want a hug or not?

[unsync]

[ He has never been offered a hug before in his life, at least not in like. Minimum eleven years. ]

...

Do you want a hug?

[ballies]

[ why does he make me so sad always. ]

Yes, I want to give hugs with my human body I now have. [ come HERE ]

[unsync]

[ One of these days he really is going to have a moment about trying to accept her being really Pinocchio'd but for the sake of cuteness and sanity it won't be today. Also not my fault his characterisation literally revolves around too high expectations and no aftercare. ]

Oh, okay.

[ Um... okay, shuffles closer. ]

[ballies]

[ enjoy feeling she has a heartbeat then. because she just kinda grapples him in and wraps her arms around him in a Big Cosy Hug.


yay, hugs.

actually yay hugs, this is really nice. ]

[unsync]

[ He has no comment about it, he just sits in this hug. ]

...

[ ... ]

[ballies]

[ ryuki……… pls………………………………….



leaving her hanging here…… ]

[unsync]

[ He sits there with his unknowable thoughts for like a solid twenty seconds.

And then he'll finally give her a loose hug back. ]

Thanks, Tama.

[ballies]

[ just static in that head, thoughts of the unknown, the all powerful. tama persists anyway. this is her hug, she is giving it and it is nice.

she has patience. ]

…

[ there we go. ]

Always.
