8th Aura | Text + Action
[Text; Locked to Jaune's friends]
I think Pyrrha Nikos is gone.
[People are bound to find out on their own if they haven't already, but it needs to be said.]
[Action | Nova City]
[It's possible to run into Jaune in Nova City. He's not paying attention to his surroundings, and he might not notice someone he recognizes at first. And if he doesn't recognize them, then there's a disheveled teenager who looks like he hasn't shaved, much less changed his outfit in a week wandering around.]
[ooc: if your character is on good terms with Jaune, he would have included them in the text. if you need me to clarify it further, feel free to pm me!]

Action!
I'm glad you liked it. Ah, [She bites her lower lip.] I don't think that many people like my bunny stories but if you do... then I'll keep coming up with new ones.
[She smiles at him.]
I'll make sure you're the first to hear them from now on... if you want. [Her finger lightly rubs against the back of his hand again.] How are you feeling?
Action!
They don't matter. They probably think those stories about sharks in storms are good. You can't throw a chainsaw at a storm and have it work. If you like writing them, you should keep writing.
Yeah, Airy, I'd like that. [He pauses, looking a little lost before answering.] Like I can go out there. Maybe. If you want. You helped. Being around you just helps. I...you're right. I don't really want to be alone.
Action!
Here. [He'll probably notice that it smells like vanilla.] I do like it. I'm really happy that you like it.
[It honestly matters more that someone enjoys her stories. That the might give people a reason to smile and feel better.] It's up to you. I'm fine here but I'm fine going somewhere else. We can always grab a movie, popcorn and curl up and try and relax but it's also okay to feel bad. I'm not going anywhere okay?
[She squeezes his hand hoping that it brings him more comfort to know that she isn't going anywhere.]
Action!
[He accepts the handkerchief gratefully. It has a pleasant scent.] I'll listen to your stories if you keep writing them.
I don't know. [His eyes mist up again at her words, his hold on her hand tightening.] Can you decide? I don't...know where I'd want to go from here.
Action!
How about a sleep over? [Her finger lightly glides over that back of his hand in what she hopes is a comforting way.] I don't know if it will help but my mom used to build pillow forts around me when I was sad. They weren't always very good but she told me that while I'm inside nothing can hurt me.
It always made me feel really safe. [She still does it from time to time.] We can pick up some snacks and a movie for noise and then curl up in a fort. Does that sound okay? [That way he doesn't have to smile if he doesn't feel like it. Airy feels as if doing something in public might simply be more stressful plus she has a few stuffed animals that would happily cuddle with Jaune to make him feel better.]
Action!
Jaune was stupid. He won't allow himself to be too hopeful again, but hiding in a pillow fort with Airy until something else happens sounds like a good option. He's always liked being around Airy since they met. Even though she's already done too much for him, more than he's mentioned aloud, he still chooses to rely on her.]
Action!
They aren't that far from Airy's apartment so without a word, and while keeping Jaune close, Airy begins to direct them. She glances over at Jaune as they walk though she tries to do so discreetly.
Once they reach her apartment she fumbles with the key before slipping it into the lock. It's a nice place, on the ground floor, and with plenty of room in the main living space. Once inside Airy locks the door and sets to work.] Let me know if you want anything to drink or eat okay? I have a lot of food here and I can cook us something.
[As she talks she drags the coffee table to the side and pulls the cushions off the couch. She begins by creating a frame first, then filling the ground with quilts, stuffed animals and pillows from her bedroom. She then takes the sheet off her bed and drapes it over the whole mess. With that done she slips a bag of popcorn into the microwave, grabs a collection of juice boxes from the fridge and turns on the TV.]
There.
[She turns towards Jaune was the smell of butter fills the small apartment.]
Now we just crawl inside. What do you want to watch? Something happy, cute, funny... [They can also watch something sad if Jaune prefers that but Airy isn't sure that it will help very much.]
