( Giggling immediately, turning her head to nuzzle him for a moment before she turns around to wrap her arms around him. )
There you are!
I missed you...
( Peppering his face with little kisses! )

stressed ?
i'm not stressed β
( * a blatant lie , avoiding
any direct eye contact .
though , he's well aware
it won't hold up . he's
already letting out a
defeated sigh . )
everything just feels so ..
out of my control .

( * feathers ruffled up
momentarily , flattening
against his skin upon
recognizing the witch .
tucking his arms away ,
nothing to see there . )

[ She followed the feathers, silently sitting down next to him before leaning against his shoulder.
Then, she wraps her arms around him to pull him into a tight hug. ]

( * another brief pause ,
silently weighing his options
and sorting his various
thoughts . knowing what
had happened would be
the first step to preventing
it , right ? even if it ends
up being something he
doesn't want to hear . )

Because the days of having someone or something else define you are over. You decide who you are. Not Belos, not Flapjack, not anything or anyone else. Just you.
[ Her expression does turn into one of worry, though, once he glances at her shoulder. ]
I'm sure, Hunter.

i know , but β -
( * melting into the kiss ,
exhaling as it's broken ,
trying to keep himself
calm . )
how .. can you be so
sure ? especially after ..
y-y'know .
( * a quick glance to
the shoulder he had
previously attacked . )

Just because your body changed doesn't mean YOU changed, you know?
It didn't take any parts of who you are, Hunter.
It doesn't matter what you look like, you will always be whole. Always be yourself.
[ She places a soft kiss on his lips, thumb caressing his cheek. ]

γ €
it feels .. wrong .
like i'm not fully myself .
( * mumbling a little ,
tucking his claws under
his arms β keeping them
to himself . )
γ €γ €γ €γ €
You're safe, honey.
What are you thinking right now?
How does your body feel?
Try to describe it.
[ She tightens the hug, nuzzling his cheek. She won't leave him alone, not like this. ]
γ €
( * a brief pause in
hesitation . wanting to
return the hug , but he
kept still β ignoring the
ringing in his head . )
i .. i'm sorry , i can't β
it just won't come out .
it's okay .
γ €γ €γ €οΏ½οΏ½
No, you're not "just tired".
There's more going on right now.
Hunter, just... let it out.
Cry, scream, anything you need to.
But don't keep it in.
Come here.
[ And finally ,she pulls him into a tight, loving hug. ]
