Ritual. . .?

[wooliefrand]

WHO: ALL
WHERE: THE PASTURE
WHEN: Day 60, Morning

[GOOOOOD MORNING it's been a nice few days, and it's even starting to warm up slightly--oh, wait, never mind. Thick black clouds gather in the sky, and there's a rumbling thunder, with stray lightning bolts here and there. The rain alternates between freezing cold but sparse and just sheets of downpour.

Well if you're determined enough you can still go about your business! Though looking out your window you might catch Blossom running back and forth to SOMEWHERE and also....a tree suddenly in the middle of the pasture. Nothing notable about it for now though.

Anyway how yall doing.

Mine is June 20th, so I guess you are older. You just... You've got such a youthful spirit that I couldn't tell before.

[unlittledcat]

. . . You can be honest. It is because of my cheeks, isn't it.

[spinebuddyandme]

Your cheeks?

[unlittledcat]

Because everyone says they are so round, I look younger than I am.

[spinebuddyandme]

They aren't that much rounder than Brenda's — uh, one of my friends from home.

[ a beat ]

I guess that would mean you look younger since she's my age too.

[unlittledcat]

. . . Surely such features will fade with time. Until then, I suppose I will just have to remind people that I am actually an adult. Or close enough.

[spinebuddyandme]

I'm sure they will. I heard you don't really finish growing until your early twenties, so try not to worry too much about it.

[unlittledcat]

Fufu. I do intend to grow much taller. Perhaps even taller than Leviathan-san himself?

[spinebuddyandme]

Maybe if you find a genie to wish on. You'd need to grow a whole foot to beat Leviathan!

[unlittledcat]

At least give me my dreams.

[spinebuddyandme]

I'm just being a good friend keeping you grounded in reality.

[unlittledcat]

Reality is no fun these days.

[spinebuddyandme]

It's always kinda shitty here, but there's still highlights. The ritual with those affection spells was pretty good, wasn't it?

[unlittledcat]

With the pins, you mean?

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah! I thought it was pretty nice.

[unlittledcat]

Mm. For the most part, it seemed that everyone enjoyed it.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Head tilt, watching him a little more intently at that ]

... Did you?

[unlittledcat]

I... did not mind the ritual itself. It was harmless enough. I had a bit of a difficult day, though, honestly, and so retired early.

[spinebuddyandme]

Oh...that sucks. I didn't know anything happened that day.

Are you okay?

[unlittledcat]

I will be, eventually. Just nursing a prideful but somewhat injured heart. I miscalculated the feelings of another and took the opportunity the ritual offered to share my feelings.

The result was not what I had hoped for.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Huffs out a sympathetic noise ]

Oye, that seriously sucks. I'm sorry it turned out like that, but whoever it was really missed out.

[unlittledcat]

It cannot be helped in the end. If someone does not feel the same, there is nothing for it. But... mm. Of course, it is a bit painful to expose yourself and find out the sentiment is not returned.

Regardless, as long as we can remain friends, I will be happy with that.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Reaches up to pat his shoulder, squeezing lightly ]

Sounds like you're already handling it really well. It's pretty awesome if you can really stay friends, but don't push yourself either, right? If you need some space while you're getting over them, you've got plenty of other friends to hang out with too. I know I'd be happy to.

[unlittledcat]

Thank you, Ananki. You are a true friend, and I appreciate that. Having time to spend with others right now is something I would enjoy and a good distraction.
