Happy and Sad

(I put that off too much and yet it was easy to write when I tried >< Btw how is my poetry? :3)

(I like your poetry. Aster was trying to express how she's wants Myukou to be happier and is willing to explore with her, but Aster stinks at writing poetry, because I stink at writing poetry.)

(Ok then, have Aster come to Myukou then :3)

'I do want to see,' mused Aster, 'and I do want to go through Myukou's door and building a bridge with a friend is fun and I especially want to help her be happier. I think I'll stop writing notes and go see her directly. I hope she won't be too shy.' The Leafeon skipped over to the field where Myukou tended to be, expecting the Eevee to be waiting by her usual tree.

And by the tree she was. Staring out into the vast fields that were always there to look at thinking the same thoughts that she always did. The sadness in her heart ever present. She watched the Leafeon walk over to her, and as she got near, she got up and could tell. She could tell why the Leafeon was there. She knew, who knows how but she did. She walked over to the Leafeon and wrapped her arms around her small body. "So you came. Are you ready to build?"

(Do you know what Myukou means by building a bridge?)

Aster snuggles with Myukou, saying, 'You're a nice Eevee. Your poetry is pleasant. I would like to listen to you and help if I can.'

Myukou absorbed Aster's words and nodded. "Well ok," she replied a bit empty. She patted her on the back. "I'd start but I don't know where to start. I haven't really told much of anyone my problems before, and I really wouldn't be, if it not was out of desperation."

Aster thought for a moment. 'When you wrote your notes inviting me through a door and to build a bridge, you must have had something in mind. Let's start there. Is that ok?' Aster continued to hug Myukou, liking the warmth and comfort.

(Lucky Aster. I wish I could hug an Eevee. That's what I love about Pokemon- it lets you get closer to animals than you can IRL.)

Myukou thought to herself trying to recollect what she thought at the time. While she could get what she thought she couldn't say it. that was going to be hard. No matter how much she planned it'd all fall apart. Time after time again. She didn't know how she'd be able to share anything at all. She was too shy, and too unimportant to say. She just sighed and softly muttered, "I can't..."

(yea, I'm kinda the same on that in a way, though I think even greater than hugging an Eevee is that it's hugging Myukou x3.)

Aster's in a pinch, thought the Leafeon. 'Would you like me to go back and you write me poems and I'll respond in prose?' Aster extended her vines and massaged the Eevee, trying to help her feel relaxed and at ease.

Myukou thought about it the vines at her back making her purr from the pleasurable feeling that went through her neurons. She shook her head no. It wouldn't serve any purpose. In the end she probably still wouldn't be able to say. She was goingto have to say this here and gain the courage that she so desperately needed.

'That's ok,' says Aster light-heartedly, continuing to massage the Eevee, 'I'll wait as long as you need. Would you like something to eat or drink in the interim?' I wish I could do more to help her, but this is my best. Please accept this.

Myukou continued to purr and nodded at Aster's offer feeling sad that she was unable to say what she wanted to say.

Aster releases Myukou from their embrace and stands by. After a moment she conjures a wreath of berries: Pecha, Magost, Mint, and Lum, along with a flagon of Berry Juice. 'I hope you like it.' Aster bounces around, happy to be a waitress.

Myukou takes the berries and starts to drink them enjoying their taste. She doesn't understand Aster's bouncing around but doesn't mind it and just drinks thinking about how she can say the words she wants to.

Aster waits patiently, singing a song to herself about bubbles and leaves. It looks like Myukou likes her berries. I'm happy to be of service.

Myukou drinks the juice sighing and tries to focus herself. After a while she hands the empty class to Aster and sighs, "How can I explain all the pain that I feel, when I've never done so before?"

Aster considers Myukou's question for a few minutes. 'Maybe reveal just a little bit at a time,' she suggests. Aster finds some Lum Berries hidden in her leaves and chews them slowly one by one while waiting for the Eevee to begin her story.

Myukou sighs and then follows up by asking, "But where do you start then? There's so much..."

(Do you have a plan for Myukou to spin her yarn? It seemed from the start of the topic you were going to have her disclose, but now I'm not so sure.)

(well I wanted to, but 1) Myukou has a hard time with this 2) I'm having a hard time with this x3)

(Ok, just have Myukou share whenever you're ready.)

(but I need Aster to respond first, me thinks. x3)
