All eyes were so focused to the jester , like they did not want to look anywhere else. Nor focus to anything else .
Shrinking some and giving gentle nudges against Pomnis hand . Another nod.
She hopes that Pomni will always be at her side through this. She needs it
&&
”We're gonna take this slowly, and carefully... One step at a time..”
She reassured her, in a soft and calm voice. It might take a loooong time, but Pomni is sure that it'll all be worth it in the end.
That was good .
Very good . All good things start small.
Honestly ? Her presence helped Jax more than she could properly express. Nudging against her softly. Some eyes breifly displayed his original color before reverting back to rainbows .
”Oh!-”
Pomni chuckled at Jax's hug.
”Oh Jax...”
She formed a soft and warm smile at the abstracted bunny, she could see some improvement forming already.
- keeping to himself a little too often.
" psssh , sure . "
Now presenting a grin and taking her hand , shaking breifly before letting go.
" Name's Jax . "
Lifting his head and almost half glaring at her , but more so frowning. He doesn't really get why she would be wasting her time with him . They barley knew each other .
He'd seen her around amongst all this mess and the adventures , but lately the rabbit had been
&&
"Heh. Must be tired if ya huddled up in a corner like this."
She replied lightheartedly, noticing him averting his gaze. Something was bothering her it seemed...
"Oh, almost forgot, the names Yena, nice to meetcha~"
She extended her hand out for the other to shake ››
The abstracted once was Rabbit watched as they attempted to scope closer , shifting with slight discomfort . Some blackened blobs becoming pointed for a moment .
Despite being bigger , fear and pain riddled the being before them.
As they crouched ,
&&
when what could only be 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 begin to open within the dark form , they freeze . they stare back with wide eyes of their own .
the colors were mesmerizing , and slowly their startle melts into awe .
❝ did i wake you . . .ᐣ ❞
a whisper , as they begin to approach .
- Jax relaxed a little . Though despair coated every single iris . He could not speak .
At least not yet. If he was to ever recover ...
How could he say? Other eyes dart scanning for the drawings that had been placed in his tent . Some were of him and Pomni.
&&
- right close .
" I don't know.. if me being alone is a good idea , but maybe .. ? For a little . "
Clutching bow against her* chest now , thumb gently rubbing against the fabric .
Perhaps there were DEEPER feelings buried , something else . Yet for now , she knew Ribbit was someone always wanted at her side even if she didn't best know how to express so .
He wasn't .. used to being close . Like this . To love being .. good . Not bad.

" it's.. okay.
I'm not used to it , but.. it's not bad right ?
You know I'm not that great with this . . Whole fixing thing . I usually destroy things after all .. hah — .. "
Nerves tinting his tone , he let his grip slip some . No longer holding, but still stood
&&
The voice is faint . Unrecognisable. New. It had been so long since he had heard a new voice. It wasn't any of his usual visitors .
That being mainly Pomni .
Slowly then, one by one , all rainbow swirling eyes peeled open .
&&
they're wandering , becoming familiar with the strange environment they've found themselves in . with no one around , they go for the most notable thing within the circus : the large purple tent filled with darkness .
Watching as Pomni came closer, all eyes focused apon her . Her gentle presence, helped Jax to feel calm .
She still felt ever so low though. Nodding again. Then shuffling so that her entire body encircled Pomni in a hug .
Pomni just stared at the abstracted rabbit with a calm, and eased expression.
She could sense and see the guilt on Jax. She walked a little bit closer to her, but not too close. All she said was...
”Together... No matter what...”
Even when they knew he could be a menace. Go too far with his jokes and pranks . That there was an embedded pain he did not want to be shown to the world.
That he was often AVOIDANT .
They still still stayed.
They WANTED to .

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ribbit wanted to let him
know that he could be
safe with her &&. that
this will all be okay. they
were there for him no
matter what .ᐟ that’s why
they were friends. જ⁀➴
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠ
Squeezing their frame ever slightly as she takes an intake of breath .
" you're my bestest friend .
You're so important to me .. my ( everything * ) too . "
Managing to smile more wider now, more genuine . There wasn't anyone else around.
