[ Anx smiles, just a little. Hard not to when faced with Flaps’ grin. ]
* I susuppose so. I still do not do not remember much of m-my life before ending up here, but… I th-think it it is not something I have ever been good with.
* N-not much of an acrobat, I I am afraid.
[ He yawns – the cozy atmosphere of Flaps’ space is starting to take its toll on him. ]
* [He nods…] Well.. Even if it wasn’t a strong point before, there’s nothing saying you don’t have the time to try and work at it.
* [But he notices that yawn… Sleeby.] That aside, though – do you, uh. Maybe want to stay here a while…? Only if you’re comfortable with it. I figure it might help you get re-acclimated to things, and it is nice having you around. ;v; If you don’t want to, though, that’s absolutely fine – I just wanted to extend the offer.
[ Anxiety accepts the the blanket gratefully, wrapping himself in it and shutting his eyes. ]
* Th-thank y you, Flaps. You are are a good f-friend.
[ The word “friend” catches in his throat a little, and he pulls the blanket tighter around his small form. Little skeleton burrito.
* You are right, it it would not do to overwhelm m-myself. It is… hard to sstrike a balance, I find. I d-do not wish to to presume, but… perperhaps it is similarly diffificult to b-balance your solitude?
* Ah- I a-apologise,
* [A skelerito….. Incredible,]
* [He gives a sad little smile, though.]
* Nah, no harm done. You’re right – it’s… been hard. I keep being torn between wanting to go back to it all and wanting to just stick to my own here. It’s… Empty feeling, not having the same kind of contact with a lot of people anymore. Relaxing at the same time, but. You know.
* [Oh- he grins!] Guess striking the right balance is something we both need to work on, yeah?
battle against a true hero is such a touhou song so i’ve wanted to do this for ages. i don’t actually have an sd-80 or anything but i tried my best with samples and the freely available touhou soundfonts. (the zunpets reach their maximum power at the end, btw.)
