@SleepyPurr [Akil's sadness was over one big lie. But then, who else could Akil have come to about lying about love but a big fellow liar. He smiles wrly then pulls Akil in by the shoulder for a hug, patting his back.]

But it's okay. We'll manage.

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

[Avery was still in a beanie, baggy clothes and scarf despite it being a warm spring day - but given half the guild had returned, that meant half a guild with some members who'd realise his.. swap. And each reveal hadn't gotten easier so he wanted to keep it under wraps.]+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr Of course Akil, I'll always pick up the radio for you. I don't want you thinking you have to go through things like that alone.

[he shrugs at the second half though.] I'm not as good as being honest as you, I was still trying to accept it myself.

[of course the irony was]+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [how was he doing?]

Better, than I was when I first found out.

[he tries to look amused at that, as if the idea of his freak out was already a funny memory. Oh he wished.]

Coping would be the best word for it, how bout you kid?

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [His hand back in his pocket, crooked smile in place as the purrloin began to ask and cut off. He walked over and placed a hand onto Akil's shoulder.]

I was going to ask you the same.

[he couldn't dodge the question and expect a reply though.]

I'm.. [he breathes out his nose]+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [Weary than he'd meant, but he was very reluctant about this.]

I uh, had quite the surprise while you were gone.

[his tone of voice was up and down, but he swallowed and pulled a hand out his pocket, showing off the white.]

Things change, whether we want them to or not hm?

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [Ah that was a startled response from the usually muted kitten, something told him Akil hadn't expected to be found. But the questioning tone and open mouth showed there was.. something to focus on first. Avery knew it.]

[He put on a smile, one that came across a little more]+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [He hadn't expected to be rewarded with the familiar sight of the purple kitten, but he sure breathed in relief when he did.]

Kiddo?

[he purred, raising a nervous hand to his scarf to pull at it. He was still very much an espurr, still very much hating it. But resigning to it.]

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@SleepyPurr [Honestly, Avery had no idea his sweet purrlion kitten couldn't read - but if he did or not, the Espurr was running out of other places to look. Not the roof, or his room, the kitchen, he'd even done a sweep of the parks... but no sign.]

[So when he poked his head in here]+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@JerkPhD If you can cure the species swap, I'll give you as much faith as Arceus. But right now, I just want to have a night where I can sleep without pain and not worry about blasting my teammate with psychic energy.

[he sounded.. tired. Resigned.]

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

[Ugughgh he was so nervous he had put off for as long as he could. A week later and even now he'd waited till late in the day, paced around a lot, felt sick and then gone to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee]

[Now he was taking said cups.. to the medward. Slow breaths.]

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@JerkPhD Not that my mind is worth much to start with. Might as well mark me valueless.

[he stands up, letting out a sigh. This was about as much as he could stand being examined and Jarek's attitude was.. difficult. For the first time.]
+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@JerkPhD [Jarek as he.. was that a flirt? Was that actually a compliment now followed by an insult on his clothing.]

[He took his beanie back and pulled it over his bad ear, trying not to scowl a little.]

I don't want special, and I don't think a yellow broken light is all that hot.+

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@JerkPhD [He was being hit with feelings of hopelessness, back in a hospital, as a doctor told him he needed months of recovery, to take it slow, there was no saving it, he was lucky actually.]

Like. Quit the guild bad. I doubt the guild wants someone who's in a state like this right?

[Avery Bardwell @NeedsaCatNap]

@JerkPhD [coffee, hoping the fairy doc had any ideas on how to help, on just how this scar and this ring worked or why they didn't. But he slow looked at Jarek and frowned, that he had to.. clarify what he meant.]

[he swallows and moves the mug to rest on his leg.]
