@Hiruko30XX I don't have a teacher, so everything I learn is self-taught... it's better than missing out on my education. I think having a tutor would be even better, though.
@evilzomi [ Eitoling hugged Nozomi tightly so he wouldn't fall off. His mama... ]
Oh.. otay. But he isn't more pungent than a human normally would be, is he? I don't like extra smelly people.
[ He wrapped his arms around her neck-shoulder area for extra security. ]
@evilzomi [ He was curious about Takumi, but maybe Nozomi would tell him more. Before being caged and brainwashed, he could recall her living alone in her room. ]
Is his arm hurt too?
@evilzomi Mr. Sumino? Why? Is his arm hu-
..Eep!
[ Eitoling clings to his mother like a koala. Mentally, she was resilliant, but he didn't expect her to be that strong physically. Especially with one arm! ]
[ He rests his head over her shoulder, quickly adjusting. ]
It's otay...
@evilzomi Does this mean I can sleep in your room again?
[ He could barely remember that fateful day, but it felt nice to be cared for. He could help getting used to everything again. ]
@evilzomi [ Tears start to well up in Eitoling's eyes. Instead of letting go to rub them away, he simply lets them run. ]
Really? Otay...
[ He tried to look into her eyes, but it's been so long since he last made eye contact. He looked at her sleeve instead. ]
@evilzomi [ Eitoling moved his hands to hug her arm. He pressed it against himself so Nozomi wouldn't slip from his movement. ]
I missed you too. I was really worried when I saw you fighting... and scared...
[ But she didn't die. And she was healing, after all. ]
Are you... free?
