Nope's Peak r2 - Day 5 - Sonia

[flamingprick]

[He'll lead Sonia away from the group and up to the first library. Mostly because he's looking for a little privacy and he remembers how comfy those beanbag chairs are.]

Here we are! Now, for that dare-

[He'll try to pull her with him as he flops down on a beanbag chair, aiming to pull her into his lap.]

Comments

[assent]

[ There is so much wrong with that sentence?????????????????

Why. Why are they both like this.

It means she stays quiet, frowning slightly as though she doesn't really know what to say (she doesn't). ]

[flamingprick]

[That. That pause probably isn't good.

Rin stumbles over his words for a moment as he tries to think of a way to explain that away.]

It's alright! It hurt at the time, but that was a while ago. Also I'll kick that guy's ass before I give him the chance to do that again.

[assent]

[ It is not a good pause, no. And despite him trying to reassure her, she still doesn't know how to respond so instead she curls her arm around him tighter, pressing closer to hug him. ]

...Of course. [ It comes out quiet and muffled though. ]

[flamingprick]

...

[Rin hugs onto her more tightly as well, trying to think of a way to explain it without sounding like he's reckless.]

It's...I don't go out looking to get hurt, I promise. Sometimes accidents happen, and it's just lucky I can heal from it. But I promise, I don't go out looking for trouble like that.

[Well, he doesn't go out looking to get hurt specifically. It's just one of the risks of his job.]

[assent]

[ It's warm like this, but also helps a little in cementing what he's saying. ]

Do not worry, I believe you. It is just... sad that it happens to begin with.

[ They don't sound like "accidents" that's why. ]

[flamingprick]

[They absolutely aren't 'accidents'.]

A little, I guess. But it's happening a lot less nowadays. I've gotten used to my strength, so I don't slip up as much anymore.

[Except for the times Yukio shot him in the head. But he's definitely not going to mention that.]

[assent]

I am grateful for that then.

[ Definitely... don't mention that jfc. ]

[flamingprick]

[she's going to have to be gently waded into just how much Rin has gotten hurt, it seems.]

Besides, I'll have to be extra-careful from now on. I wouldn't want to make you or Allen cry.

[assent]

[ She just doesn't want anyone to get hurt okay... ]

Yes, that is true. [ Her voice softens at that. ] We will both be sad if you are injured again, no matter the situation.

[flamingprick]

Then I'll be careful.

[He can try, at least.]

...

Want to nap for a bit?

[It's too early for sleeping, but a short nap might be nice.]

[assent]

[ Trying is better than not trying! ]

Yes, please. [ She's definitely tired after everything, and this is cosy and warm and somehow very comforting. ] I would like that.
