That stuff again? What is it with interdimensional kidnappers and that particular effect? [ Which is to say: no, she hadn't heard, but yes she knows exactly what it is. ]
You're worried about me smelling the blood, I assume.
Oh, that. I don't really have a schedule yet. But you can take whatever part of the day you need with MK, and honestly if you need to see me on another day, I'm great with that. I know it gets tricky and I don't care about the date, as long as you make time for me.
Did Kantera tell you about helping the Pigeon Girl? I assume he did. It was a whole thing. Anyway. For the next two weeks if you see me alone, there is a blanket permission to have your wicked way with me. I need
My body to feel real again and I need grounding for it.
[Kantera left a note for Saya this morning - 'helping Korone with something, might be home late, please don't worry'. And indeed he is home late, and immediately throws himself into baking in a way that might resemble how he acted after a bad game in Imeeji.
Roughly an hour later, he emerges from the kitchen (now filled with a small mountain of sweets) and goes to find Saya and smoosh his face into her shoulder.]
[ There has never been a more worrisome phrase in all of eternity than "please don't worry", but she doesn't make a thing of it. Instead, she waits. And sees him come home pale. And smells him stress baking. ]
[ She leaves it alone. He'll come to her when he's ready. She occupies her time trying to get Eclipse to visit him in the kitchen. ]
[ She's waiting in their room when he finds her, looking no better for all his efforts. Her arms welcome him in and she puts a warm blanket over his back, below his wings. ]
My dear, what would you like for dinner? I can make anything you desire.
[He doesn't want to fuss too much, or tell her that her feelings aren't valid, but... she's still miserable even with the passage of time, and his worry only grows.]
[ ...Does she want to hang sometime? It'd be nice to do something fun, where she can be distracted from her troubles for a while. Much as she hates to use anyone for that, she desperately needs it. ]
Sure, we can do something. What'd you have in mind?
[SO THERE WAS A VERY NICE BIRTHDAY DINNER, something relaxed and chill, but Red Son of course gives presents.]
[Its what he does.]
[There are a pair of earrings that attach from lobe to helix, made with rubies in rose gold settings.]
[There is also a robot cat.]
[Its made nicely, of course. Its body moves as well as a cat. Well, almost. Being practically liquid is hard to make into a robot, but its pretty close! There is also nice fake fur so they're nice to pet and they can even purr properly. Programmed to be pretty cat like, mostly based on Shen Hong. There's affection and rubbing and play with toys and also sometimes just leaving her alone as cats do.]
[But also a programmed subroutine. The robocat is designed to try and bring comfort to Kantera's cat in the hopes his cat will learn that even if Saya is a big, scary predator, she's THEIR big scary predator and thus fine.]
I wanted to see if you're feeling okay! And I restarted the Music Club, so I wanted to ask if you wanted to come back to it with everyone. You can invite more people too. Everyone's allowed.
Sooooo...I know it's not like we never see each other anymore, with training and stuff, buuuuut I feel like it's been awhile since we got to just hang out and be friends. Just us having a good time.
So I was thinking that if you're free, maybe we can hit a quest together this weekend, or just hang around.
So when you get this, let me know if you're open, 'kay? Byeeee~
I have an injection that should work. You'll need to take the dosage more regularly, but it shouldn't knock you out and cause the temporary amnesia, though I would not recommend operating heavy machinery for a few hours after.
[Along with the seashell she always gives, Saya's holiday gift is a big gift card for the karaoke bar Rinku works at! She knows Saya likes that kind of thing and wants her to be happy.]
[So obviously Saya has been plied with many, many holiday desserts while Kantera has been baking for other people, and she gets an entire cake to split between the two of them, but besides that:
Hanging on her closet door is now a starry evening gown in exactly her size.
[When Kantera returns home from work at the clinic, Saya is there.
On its own, that wouldn't be noteworthy. This her home, why shouldn't she be there? But he remembers when her days were filled with activity and spending time with her other friends and lovers. Now, even after Red Son's medication, she seems to always be at home, instead.]
Aliza. [He sits down next to her.] I would like to talk about how you're feeling, please.
He's not wrong in his assessment that something is very wrong. He didn't know her before, on her original world, when this was normal. (He also doesn't know what happened on some of the other worlds, but that's not the main problem.)
At least she does him the courtesy of not pretending that she's fine.
"All right. I'm not sure how much it'll help, but we can try."
Candid came to MK shortly after his visit with Saya and told him what happened. Of course, MK is worried about his best sword girl guy friend. Also he's a little peeved that apparently Candid decided to mouth off and make Saya think that HE thought she was a monster. That doesn't help the feelings of anger he still has toward his clone. Feelings he's letting himself actually feel and express.
That's for another time. And a group therapy session eventually. Candid's fucking problems can wait. Saya's can't. Which is why MK is knocking on her door and wondering if Kantera is home. He hopes not. He wants to speak to Saya in private, if possible.
