He doesn’t move much as he sits on the bench. His screen is pointed down at the book in his hands but he’d not really reading -- it’s more that he’s calculating and thinking about what he wants to do here. There’s a certain sense of freedom, but he’d not sure he’s ready to welcome it just yet.

She’s been trying to avoid the townhouse as much as possible, going out of her way to stick by Kurogane, Fai and Watanuki for the majority of her time spent within the city and only leaving their sides when the sun dips low in the sky. Today, though, the rain has been relentless and while she’s certain that either of them would be happy with her company, she also isn’t quite willing to sit through the light scolding ❪ depending on which of them she’d surprise, that is ❫ that would certainly come along with it. So for the first time since arriving the princess finds herself lingering in the dining room, arms wrapped around herself in unease, feeling like a stranger in a place where she’s expected to be comfortable. 

Maybe it’s the lackluster appearance or how impersonal it all feels-- bland walls and plain furniture that looks to have never been touched. It’s hard to feel at home in a place that looks like it was ripped straight from a magazine ad, after all. 

The idea to try and decorate it just a bit hits her suddenly and seems like an excellent plan as she runs to and from her room with arms full of tiny things she’s picked up from the city; seashells from the beach, flowers from the park. It isn’t until the presence of a roommate comes drifting downstairs does she freeze, guilt taking over excitement as she quickly yanks the the arrangement of flowers she had been working on from off of the table sheepishly in case it isn’t to the woman’s taste.

❝ Oh! G-Good morning...! ❞ 

@frosreign​ WHISPERED: “  just let me help you.  ”

They had missed a crack in the sidewalk. Xey had lost their footing, tumbled down to the pavement, their shell smashing hard against the concrete. With the cracks that had already been present in their form, that was all it had taken for it to split open, at least partially.

It wasn’t as bad as last time, but you try telling that to someone in the middle of a trauma-induced panic attack.

Goopy, black tears were spilling out from xyr eyes even as the pale human approached them again, offering-- offering what? Assistance? Xey didn’t understand. Xey couldn’t understand. Xey were too lost in the memories of the first time xey had been split apart, of how their shade had leaked out and left xyr body, of how much xyr entire body had hurt, of how badly they had wanted to scream--

Even now, their own lack of a voice was tearing them apart, unable to let them release the emotions they were feeling.

Cowering and curling up into a ball, the Broken Vessel shrank away from Elsa’s touch, seeming to be avoiding her out of fear.

In their wandering, the Broken Vessel had found themsevles stumbling across a lot of of these strange... creatures. They really didn’t know how else to describe them, as they just looked very odd to the confused vessel. Right now, they were staring at another one of these bizarre beings; one who was tall and looked particularly pale, even compared to some of the other creatures the vessel had seen. She looked friendly enough, but..?
