11 | I'm sorry's & Awkward's | OPEN [with some closed prompts]

VIDEO! OPEN
[ooc: she'll also be resting at her house if anyone wants to come by.]

[Airy's hold a small bag of ice in her hand as she fumbles with the screen. She flashes everyone an apologetic smile or tries too. Her cheeks are a bright crimson red, clearly having seen the havoc that Katze has caused over the network. She looks a little beaten up with a thin cut across her cheek and a bruise at the top of her forehead but she's otherwise in one piece.]

Hi, Genessia [She's trying really hard not to be awkward.] I'm sorry for Katze... that wasn't me... I'm fine now. If you need me reach me here... I might not be making sense. [She got hit pretty hard in the head.]

I need to lie down.

[Airy really isn't feeling all that well right now and she can't stop feeling awkward in response to all of this. All she knows is that Katze made her chest a topic of conversation. It isn't the sort of thing she would have done herself and she hopes everyone might just forget about this.]

ACTION! CLOSED TO JAUNE! [Waking Up]

[Airy is laying on a bench just outside of the inn. If it isn't for Katze's crazy video those passing might just think that the girl is asleep. There is a small white pillow under her head while her wavy blonde hair is fanned across the bench and then hanging over the side of the wooden planks. Her breath is shallow but steady with her arms placed over her stomach.

There is a small bruise on her forehead and a small thin cut across her cheek. It's slowly coloring a dark purple as the minutes pass into hours. It's hard to say how long she's been on the bench though it appears as if most people have chosen to simply walk past her and continue on their way.

Airy doesn't look like she will wake up on her own.]

ACTION! CLOSED TO KATZE! [In Trouble]
[ooc: Bracken can pop in if he happens to be nearby. He can stop Airy from being angry.]

[It takes Airy awhile to find Katze and when she does she's angry. Her hands rest on her hips and there is a noticeable scowl spreading across her lips. She knows that he's sick which means that he'd feed or something off her energy because that's what happens. Despite that she doesn't feel all that bad for him... okay, she feels bad but she's trying not to show it.]

I can't believe you did that! Friend's don't do that sort of thing to eat other. First you kiss me! Then you knock me out! Then you ... the network. [She puts her face in her hand.]

I don't even know which is the worst part!

[Airy throws her arms to her sides and begins pacing back and forth.]

[When Bracken and Airy both found Katze, she was still frolicking about as Airy and dressed in that ridiculous pink and black latex dress. Katze tried to escape several times only to get cornered in the end when she got all dizzy and disoriented. It was then that Katze was finally caught and dragged back to Fayren, literally.

Sick in bed and absolutely miserable, Katze let's out a pathetic coo as he (Katze is back to normal) pulls the covers over his head.]

Go away! I'm sick. Sicku.

[Despite the absolute pain in the butt Katze had been, and how tired he was after that long, strenuous journey, Bracken was in the other room preparing a hot bath with water and fire magic.

Airy was there, and obviously upset and yelling, but he wasn't going to stop her. He trusted Airy, and he didn't think she was going to do anything to hurt Katze. And he needed to learn not to treat friends like that.

He was worried about Airy, too. She's been hurt, and he was hoping it wasn't really bad.

When he stepped out of the bathroom, he was quiet and by the door, looking at the lump on the bed and the angry woman in the room.

Three was kind of crowded in such a small room.]

I know!

[Airy is still angry, she doesn't care what Katze says or that he's sick or that it's technically her fault.]

I could have told you that because... [She exhales a slow breath and stops pacing. She takes a seat at a chair and places her face in her palms. Her head is still bruised and she's careful not to touch it.]

I'm poisonous to anything that feeds on energy or steals it. [She adds that last part with a little bit of venom.] But you didn't bother to ask.

Clearly you don't have a funny bone in your entire body, Airy!

[He grumbles from under the sheets. His tail is flickering in annoyance as he speaks. Despite being the at fault here, Katze seems oddly agitated that Airy is actually ticked at him.]

It was just a joke! Nothing really bad happened...

Edited 2016-09-17 21:41 (UTC)

[Confrontation. Not exactly his strong point, and probably the only reason he wasn't yelling or anything.

Instead, he walked towards the bed, stopping to glance at Airy as he did. He didn't know if Airy was going to be mad that he wasn't yelling, too. It just wasn't him.

And she'd been hurt, which he felt really bad about. Even though nothing of this was really his fault, he felt like he should have kept Katze under control somehow.]

D... Do you want me to h-heal you?

[He offered meekly by her.]

Stealing someone's face and pretending to be them isn't a joke!

[She snaps back with a scowl, her bright emerald eyes glaring at Katze.]

No Bracken I'm fine. [Airy waves a hand at him as her attention turns back towards Katze.]

You're just a jerk, mean, controlling, and that makes me wonder if we're even friends. Friends don't do that sort of shit to each other!

Oi, don't call me that!

[Katze let's out a whimper as he peeks from under the covers.]

I'm not a jerk! I might be a little mean but I'm not that bad.

[He sighs dramatically as he slips back under the covers again.]

It's not fair. [Katze mumbles quietly from under the covers with a slight groan.] I wanted to be blonde just cause Bracken likes 'em...

[Guess who've been snooping around in that sketchbook of yours, Bracken. Seems like someone got a few ideas in their head that led to straight up chaos.]

Eh, should I apologize?

[She looked hurt, but he didn't argue. Instead, he took another step towards the bed and got down on his knees, lifting the side of the sheet and sticking his head under to look at Katze. Folding his arms in front of him and resting his chin on the edge of the bed, he approached things in an entirely different manner.]

I-I was really worried about y-you and Airy... I... I think you should a-apologize.

[His tone was quiet, tired. He was physically and mentally exhausted from the day, and glad just to have everyone home and safe.]

Why... Why do you think I l-like blondes...?

[Truthfully, if he were to pick a color in a line-up he would choose Katze's first. He wasn't sure why Katze would think that he had a major preference for something else.]

I don't want an apology.

[Airy speaks as if tired.] If you don't understand what you did wrong then you aren't sorry and the last thing I want is for you to lie to me. Friends don't lie, they don't do anything that you did so I can only assume you don't think of me as a friend. [She hates this.]

And you are a jerk. Do you even care how any of this made me feel? Do you care about anyone besides yourself?

[She is currently ignoring Bracken. She's feeling awful about all of this and what she's saying isn't helping. She doesn't need Bracken to make her feel worse.]

[Katze peeks at Bracken from beneath the blankets and whimpers pathetically.]

The sketches. [He answers with a pout.] You only draw blondes like her.

[Of course he means the very pissed off blonde telling him off right now. Katze finally peeks his head out from under the covers and sighs. Makes no sense to try and hide while she can see him as plain as day.]

You are a friend! Kinda. I mean I need never had friends before so I dunno how to treat you. [He admits honestly.] I...I know I should've stopped.

Plenty of people thought I hurt you bad, so it wasn't really just a harmless prank.

[He's slowly getting it. Slowly.]

I won't do it again! Honest! I don't do it to Bracken cause I like him. So, I won't do that you ever again.

[He thought about his artwork. He started with Airy and Thistle, both blondes, for sure. And then there was Hatter... he was also a blond, but Bracken hadn't really thought about it. It was just coincidence. He frowned.]

I... I was d-drawing my friends...

They're pretty and I... I like them, b-but not because they're blond. A-And... And just because th-they're pretty doesn't mean that... that you aren't. Y-You're pretty, too. A-And I like you.

[He reached out to stroke his hair lightly, still lazily leaning on the bed.]

Y-You... You have to be nice to f-friends, or... or they won't be your friends anymore.

Yeah you're friends with Bracken. Not me.

[Airy feels really tired and while it seems like Katze is coming around he still doesn't seem to really understand. She lets Bracken talk about his drawings. She'd told him to start drawing people since he'd drawn bunnies so well. She still doesn't think she's all that pretty and after all this she isn't sure if that's a compliment or not.]

Look you guys sound like you need to talk. I should go.

Also for the record. I dyed my hair. It's naturally brown.

[Only friends with Bracken? Ah, he caught the lacking subtleness with that comment and he huffs.]

Fine! Be that way then!

[He doesn't need any friends. Nope! Those bastards can all die in a fire for all he cares. Hell, it's nothing short of a miracle that Katze hasn't just killed anyone already. Screw Genessia! Everyone should just die. Fuck being good!

Hajime isn't here, so he doesn't have to be good.

That's what he keeps telling himself repeatedly all the time but a part of him kind of doesn't want to annihilate this world yet. Yeah, the Destroyer of Worlds doesn't feel like destroying. Something is wrong here and it all starts and ends with the chubby mage beside him.]

...I don't have any friends and I don't need them.

[He dives under the covers again and stays there.]

[He wished he knew how to make things better, but he really didn't. He glanced up from the bedside at Airy sadly. He didn't blame her, but it was still sad.]

S-Sorry, Airy...

[Not that it was really his fault, but he was still sorry. He lifted the spread again and peeked back under it at Katze.]

I... I asked the innkeepers to make s-some soup... A-And... I have a bath ready.

[He sat heavily on his legs. Really, if Katze kept up with days like this he wasn't sure he'd be able to keep up.

He glanced up from where he was.]

D-Do you want some s... some soup, Airy?

[Airy shakes her head.]

Not your fault.

[She stands feeling her limbs protest from the action. She shouldn't have come here, she should have stayed in bed but somehow she thought talking to Katze might have helped. In the end, it hadn't.]

I'm fine. I should go.

[Her finger presses against her temple.]

I don't want to be in your way Bracken.

[Completely hissy and in a bad mood thanks to everything, Katze grumbles something begrudgingly under his breath that's almost too low for either to hear. His social skills are lacking severely thanks to a life of senseless crime and general selfishness. Though, does he actually have some decency left in him? Maaaaybe.]

I'm sorry. [He grumbles the words a second time but this time he pulls back the covers from over his head.] I am sorry! Everything went out of hand and my fault!

[He sighs tiredly.]

It was dumbass move on my part. I knew it was wrong but did it anyway out of spite. Very bitchy thing to do.

[Katze covers his mouth briefly. He feels like he's about to hurl.]

Oi, give me min---[He falls quiet for a time before sucking in some much needed air. He really doesn't feel good.]

...If it's any consolation, you won't be in trouble. I don't think anyone will be mad at you and if they are, tell them it was me.

Y-You're not in my way.

[He stayed very quiet, in place. It really wasn't something that he could fix on his own, leaving him a bit helpless. Instead, he let them speak, and watched and waited to see what would happen.]

[Airy pauses with her fingers lightly pressing against the doorknob. She turns and looks back at Katze feeling herself hesitate. She really has no idea what to do, it isn't like this is a common situation.]

Spite?

[She asks in an unsure voice. Airy really doesn't understand.]

Do you hate me?

[She doesn't care what others think. If they really believe that it's her then they weren't very good friends in the first place.]

No, not you! It's just...

[He scratches his cheek awkwardly. This is going to be a tough conversation for him to have.]

Waaah! I don't know how to start!

[The urge to hide under the covers again is real.]

You humans are easy to manuiplate, ya know? You do horrible things to each other and do the same crap to everything else. You guys are stupid and cruel but even so...you humans are also nice and comforting. Like you'll do anything to help others even when some of you want to do bad.

[He sways a little from side to side.]

I don't get it. Humans can actually change and evolve while I can't. It's really unfair and I guess--

[He pauses briefly. The words won't come out.]

I don't know. I want to just destroy everything and ruin stuff like I normally do but something...inside doesn't want that. That's what freaks me out. Like I dunno if I really hate you or if I just hate everything about myself. I'm not pretty, I'm not nice, I'm not a good person but I want to be...?

[He let's out a frustrated growl. Katze is literally trying to find the right words to say but everything is wrong.]

I don't know what the hells wrong with me! I feel so topsy-turvy, Airy! I'm sorry for dragging you into this crap!

[*Whoosh!* Under the covers he goes.]

Edited 2016-09-19 15:19 (UTC)

[Bracken let out a sigh. He crawled up under the covers, creating a large lump on the bed as he crawled around Katze to scoop him up and hold him on his lap. He just wanted to hug him and help him, and try to make things better.]

I-I think you're pretty... S-Sorry if I didn't say it enough...

[He wrapped his arms around Katze to hold him against his chest.]

A-And nice.

[He could be a pain in the butt, but he'd also been nice to Bracken lots of times, too.]

A-And... And I'll help you be good.

[For the moment Airy ignores Bracken. If his words haven't penetrated Katze's thick skull then they probably wouldn't now. No, Katze needs to realize something more to even hear his boyfriend's words.]

You're really dumb... [Her tone is soft.] What you just said. That feeling that you're describing is change. The only one stopping yourself from changing is the fact that you're convinced you can't.

[She exhales a slow breath.]

I'm not completely human Katze, there are many races and many types out there but unlike you I don't let it define me. It's a part of me but not the only part. All I hear from you is an excuse because you don't want to face yourself.

If you want to like yourself than do it. You're the only one in your way. Clearly there is something to like because that's how we make friends.

[She turns away from him again.]

Friends see the good in you even when you can't. They stand by you and fight for you. They tell you the same thing over and over and over again until you start to believe it too. They're honest and they don't lie or manipulate you. They believe in you- [Her voice cracks and her arms begin to tremble.] The fact that you have that means something and you damn well better take this chance to see it.

[D'aw, Bracken! If that chubby mage is trying to kill Katze with copious amounts of fluff, then he's doing a fine job.

The idiotic alien clings to Bracken with a sigh. He feels so idiotic right now but he also feels oddly safe in Bracken's arms. Katze likes cuddles now. He never liked them before but he likes them only because Bracken gives the best hugs. He snuggles Bracken and actually listens this time to what Airy has to say.

He's not a good listener ninety-seven percent of the time but he's listening now and boy, he really does feel dumb. Here he is claiming to be so envious of everyone else without realizing or appreciating what he has. Typical. Typical ungrateful bullshit.

Katze really is dumb. Extremely.]

They believe in me? My friends believe in me?

[He peeks out from under the covers again this time with Bracken. He stares at Airy for a long time before suddenly grinning. It's not one of his usual "I'm better than you~" grin, it's a happy grin.]

Then starting today, I like myself enough to do better! [He glances over at Bracken and affectionately pats his head.] Don't make that face. I'm gonna try harder, okay? No more craziness! I won't be bad anymore.

[A pause.]

Okay, maybe a little bad. Just not the kind of bad that means catastrophic disaster and oversized rock candy dinosaurs that taste like fruit soda. That was a bit much even for my standards~!

[He laughs a little as he glances back at Airy.]

Oi, I'm going to do something nice for you. I won't tell you what it will be but you're the perspective type. You'll know when you see it.

[Katze is honestly plotting on doing something great for Airy but he won't give any hints.]

[He really wasn't one to talk at length, and it was probably pretty obvious why, but he did listen.

Perhaps he believed a lot faster than most, but even with his eagerness to trust people he'd gotten by somehow anyway. He held Katze tight, nosed his hair, and snuggled him up. It might have been a bit odd looking given their sizes.]

We... We can do fun things that are good.

[He sounded more hopeful, willing to give Katze the benefit of the doubt and believe him when he said he'd do better.

He really didn't have any speeches to give or great insights. He was just there and supportive.]

[Airy exhales feeling a little less on edge.]

I don't want anything Katze. Just take what I said to heart okay and please, don't do anything like this again.

[At least not without asking first.]

I'm going to head home and lay down.

[She hopes he can keep the crazy to a minimum.]

[Unlike others, Bracken doesn't need to say much to get his words across. All this cuddling and hugging is enough to chase most of those gloomy self-depreciating thoughts away. Katze wants to try to do better but not just for himself. He didn't expect to actually fall head over heels for someone but the moron did.]

Like the carnival we went to? That was fun and no one got hurt! [Lies! Katze kicked some dude in the balls for wrecking his kimono. Long funny story.

He hugs Bracken in return before turning to Airy again.]

I won't! I think I like being in my own skin. Your boyfriend was kinda scary as hell.

[Yeah, he met Nathan. Yep.]

Make sure you sleep and eat lots of yummy food!

[He nodded. The carnival was a good example.]

W-We'll do lots more th-things like that.

[Perhaps he spent too much time working. He enjoyed the forest, and the comfort of the familiar area.

Still holding Katze for the moment, he glances up at Airy. It still hurt to see her. He hated thinking she'd been injured, and he kind of wished he could just heal it and make it go away.]

A-Airy... If... If you need anything...

[He furrowed his brows slightly, but he didn't finish the sentence, instead turning his attention back to Katze for a moment and shifting him in his arms so that he could pick him up. It wasn't the easiest task - Katze wasn't exactly tiny - but he was getting better at it.]

I-I'll take care of and t... talk to Katze. P-Please... take care?

[Airy feels herself smile in spite of herself. Nathan is wonderful and she loves him very much.]

I think he'll be happy to hear that. [He'd been really worried about her and had been against her coming here now though he'd never tell her not too. She'd been to angry to be stopped anyway.]

Thank's Bracken but you take care if him, okay?

Someone needs to keep a close eye on him.

[With that Airy turns to leave.]

[A happy squeal escapes him once Bracken scoops him up. He wraps his arm around Bracken and cuddles happily. There's some purring here and there. Katze is honestly happy.]

Bye bye, Airy! No more unfunny prank time! Promise~

[The silly alien is being earnest but he's still such a goofy thing.]

[He nodded. He would do his absolute best to take care of Katze, and he hoped he could make things up to Airy later.]

B... Bye, Airy.

[He carefully nudged the bathroom door open with his foot and carried Katze in, where he still had a hot bath ready for him. Setting him down so he could sit on the edge, he nonchalantly went about getting Katze's clothes off so he could go in.]

E-Everything was so sticky and gooey in N-Nova City...

It's a sticky mess! Very nasty and gross. Too much sugar.

[Katze whines as he tries to get all the sugary flakes out of his long bright hair. He feels terribly gross. Everything is all sticky and annoying! Katze simply hates it.]

No more candy for awhile, okay? I don't think I can eat another jellybean.

I-I'll bring you soup once y-you're clean.

[Katze tended to dress in tighter things than Bracken did, so it took a little work, but he got it all off and helped him into the tub. It was still steamy warm. Bracken planned on taking one after Katze was cleaned up and fed, so he stayed by the tub.

Picking up a bottle of shampoo, he got as close to the back of the tub as he could in the little space and started soaping up Katze's hair.]

Wh-When you feel better... I think... I think you should do something n-nice for Airy.

[Time for bubbly fun! Katze is happy to be in the bath after fighting chocolatey fiends all damn day. Talk about having too much sweets. This intergalactic planetary badass can't possibly eat another piece of candy for the rest of his life. Or rather until next week month Tuesday.

Katze is going on a candy strike.]

Something nice for the blondie, huh?

[A thoughtful hum escapes him as he tries to think about what he could do to make Airy happy.]

I think I will~! Airy likes pink. I found that out when I first arrived here.

M-Maybe she likes flowers.

[He didn't really tie giving flowers to anything romantic necessarily. It seemed find to give friends flowers.

He worked the shampoo into a lather, massaging Katze's scalp as he did so, but also perhaps being a little rough at the same time as he concentrated on trying to get gunk out.]

[The happy coo that follows is close to a jovial sigh now that nasty mess is being scrubbed away. Katze is grateful as hell.]

Pink flowers maybe? Like a dozen of them and more? How about a whole street covered in bright pink flowers just for her?!

[That's a cute but costly idea.]

Th-That might be too much. I'm... I'm sure she like s-something smaller.

[He didn't want to make it too overwhelming.]

I think, I think she j-just wants to know th-that you mean it.

[He grabbed a bucket and poured some of the water over Katze's head to rinse out his hair, followed by wiping the soaked water away from his face.]

D-Do you want to soak for a-a while? I could ask the ow, the owners to bring the soup.

[Jaune doesn't go outside very often now, but he decided to try to brave the streets because...he was hungry and he was out of food.

He didn't look at the network so he had no idea he would run into Airy passed out on the bench. He notices the bruise and his legs feel like lead as he runs over to her, already believing the worst has happened.]

Airy?

[He manages to whisper her name, too panicked to say anything else, placing a careful hand on her shoulder as he kneels next to her. She's breathing, which is good, but it's shallow and he doesn't know if she'll get worse.]

[Her head is swimming and she feels the world turn on end as the pressure weighs heavily against her skull. She feels the warm touch of Jaune's hand and then the soft call of her name.]

Jaune?

[The word slips weakly from her lips and her head thunders with the echo of the words against her skull. Airy groans softly and turns so that she's more on her side. She has no idea where the pillow came from or why she's on a bench. She can't immediately remember.]

What?

[She tries to open her eyes but then forces them closed. It's to bright, her head hurts so much and she feels like she might be sick.]

Glad to see you're all right, Airy. I can recommend a few healers should you have need of them.

I'm fine but thanks.

[She offers him a smile.]

I hope I didn't make anyone worry.

So this is the real lady in question. It's just Katze playing mean tricks in Nova City the other. [:/]

[With an exasperated sigh.]

I hope you're all right. Airy, is it? I think I remembered you when we first met at the cafe for that coffee. It's nice seeing you again. I hope you're all right, and get some rest.

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

[Not that it's her fault.]

Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?

No need to apologized. I was just thinking Katze went too far

[Just lightly shaking his head and smiled.]

Don't worry about me. I'm just checking in.

Ah, thank you.

[It's nice of him to check it.]
