[ what dorks. ]

Gluuub, fine. We can go after I put these on!

[ she quickly begins to put on the clothes sollux brought her. he sure did bring a lot! she puts on a hoodie before the big puffy snow coat, idly wondering if she's going to look ridiculous after she's done, especially since these are meant to fit sollux and not her. she readjusts her scarfs and then reaches for the pants, using sollux for support as she attempts to get them on. it would be embarrassing if she fell.

her hips prove to be too wide. girls got a figure. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[Baby got back, ok, he's always kind of liked that about her. Even though he feels a bit guilty checking it out again, given what she's missed out on. But Sollux is a stick, and it's obvious when she tries to put his pants on that she's got it going on.]

Yeah I thought that wath going to happen. Maybe we can find you thome of your own, later.

[terribubble]

[ a nod. it wasn't a big deal. ]

Welll... let's go!

[biifurcatiion]

[ He pushes her gently, more of a body bump than anything else. ]

You go, I don't know where we're going here.

[terribubble]

[ sly eyeroll as she grabs his arm. ]

This way.

[biifurcatiion]

[ of course guilt or no guilt he'd let her drag him anywhere. They can't very well talk properly out in public; there's not even a pile. And it was kind of humiliating last time she made his do it.]

You're ok, right?

[terribubble]

Why wouldn't I be okay?

[ she glances at him as they make their way into her room. room 501! it was a really odd question to ask, especially since she was right in front of him in one piece. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[And of course now that he's said it he doesn't know why. Because she's dead? When did she ever care about that? Because- but nobody would have told her, hopefully, so he can at least do it himself. Because he's a fucking idiot.]

Becauthe it'th weird ath hell?

[terribubble]

That's stupid, I already said I'm sure everything will be alright.

[ she opens the door to her room. ]

We're here!

[biifurcatiion]

[It's not the same room she had before. It's not even the same house. And it's not the same Feferi, either, is it, really? Since she doesn't remember anything at all.]

Lookth boring.

1/2

[terribubble]

Hey! Don't call my Respiteblock boring. It just needs to be decorated with lots of cuttlefishes!

[terribubble]

[ annnnd

she smiles right after. grouchy motherglubber <3. ]

Well, maybe just plush cuttlefishes. They can't live here.

[biifurcatiion]

[He doesn't know where to sit or what to do or anything. He's forgotten how weirdly empty and impersonal all these rooms are, until you start really living in them.]

You didn't leave any behind latht time, tho I don't have any to give you. I have thome of your thtuff, by the way, not a whole lot but thome. And you wouldn't be able to catch any anyway, becauthe you won't be able to really breathe underwater anymore.

[terribubble]

I can't? I thought I felt a little weird.

[ oh no she's a little sad. ]

[biifurcatiion]

Not that, and not anything elthe. No life thtuff, no hauling around whaleth.

[terribubble]

That's retarded!

[ she's not okay with this ]

They gave us new powers right? But they didn't have to go and take my glubbing gills.

[biifurcatiion]

[He sympathizes.]

I jutht thaid they won't work anymore, not that they ripped them out of your body or thomething. You want to talk to me about retarded, do you know how bad my head hurtth all the time now that I can't dithcharge any of the energy kicking around my thinkpan?

[terribubble]

Sollux.

[ 38(

she turns back to him, and holds cups his face with her hands as an act of comfort, as well as to position his forehead down to touch hers. ]

You reeeeally need a nap.

[biifurcatiion]

[He's starting to get taller, more and more every week, in small spurts. He has to bend to meet her now, his eyes easing almost-closed, tense and tired.]

No time. Can't jutht let you flounder around. I have...thtuff. That I have to tell you, eventually.

[terribubble]

Why not? [ she's getting a little annoyed that he's being so stubborn! but it is like him and she's not ready to just yell at him yet. it takes a few more seconds for her to add: ] And what stuff? Spill it!

[ he should at least tell her now if it is what's bothering him. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[He strokes her hair gently with his fingertips, trying to swallow around the terrified lump in his throat.]

We were. In a weird place, when you left.

[terribubble]

Sollux. Get to the point!

[biifurcatiion]

[He looks like he'd rather crawl into a hole and die than tell her about this. But if he doesn't, the guilt will just keep weighing on him, and she deserves to know the truth. It's the right thing, to tell her.]

We weren't really, uh, talking a whole lot anymore. Jutht thometimeth, when thomething went wrong, but I never heard from you until after that thingth had happened and I jutht. Thought maybe you were tired of me, you didn't need me anymore, and that wath ok. We jutht never got to talk about it before you left, and thtuff happened.

[terribubble]

Well, that's glubbing stupid! Of course I need you, and I still will. I sure sound real fishy if you ask me.

[ this was really confusing alright! it sure didn't sound like anything she would do, but she knew that wasn't the end of the story so... ]

Well, what happened? Or are you going to continue to beat around the coral about the stuff! [ should she be nervous right now? she wasn't sure but she did know she wanted to know, now. ]

[biifurcatiion]

You had Glybubble whatever the hell that thing ith called to look after, you had better thingth to do.

[He's depressed, and he really believes that, and he knows he has to tell her but it's hard to admit it to her.]

Once you left, uh, other people confethhed to me that while we were thort of thtruggling they'd thtarted to get interethted, and I- I kind of reciprocated, a little bit.

[There, it's out, it's done, he told her. But he doesn't feel relief. He looks like he might throw up at any second, he looks completely defeated, hanging his head in exhausted guilt.]
