vatheon | tiir rumibul; oo9

Who: Tiir and

vatheon!
When: Noon
Where: Plaza
Style: [c:?]
Status: Open!

[It comes as a somewhat unpleasant shock to suddenly awaken, drenched. The water mixes with the not-quite-dry blood in Tiir's clothes, with tears in them indicating that at least some of the blood is likely his own, creating a bit of a watery bloody mess. His eyes are red—and not in his usual manner, that is—like he's been crying recently. While disoriented for a bit as he gets up, his memories of Vatheon return to him soon enough, fortunately, and combined with everything that's happened back home, there's so much he needs to sort out—]

Ah—?

[—Not that he gets the time to, as there's suddenly there's a local up in his personal bubble with a towel, wiping at his hair, face, and anywhere there's blood, really. Tiir's gut instinct is 'kill her', before quickly reminding himself that that would be a Bad Thing, and likewise deciding that even knocking her unconscious would probably be excessive force (and he never expected to think that about a human, but, well, things have changed).

And so, as he tries to decide just how much force he can use to stop her while still not being rude, exactly, he protests, though his voice is hoarse, as if his throat's been torn to shreds.]

I'm not some child, so don't touch me, hu—

[Wait, no. Using "human" as an insult is also a Bad Thing. Trying to overcome his hatred, right. Reminding himself of that, Tiir settles for more... normal protests that ultimately seem to have no effect as he attempts to back away.]

Honestly, I'm fine.

[... Ryner told him to trust humans, but he didn't tell him how to deal with fussy humans who apparently have no concept of personal space, damn it.

Help him out? (Or ignore him and his awkward misery—)]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Much more preferable, yes, as he takes the towel, grateful. For a moment, he pauses, in his uncertainty as to how deal with her—a human—before reminding himself of everything that happened with Minato and all that occurred back home.

And so, he manages a smile, and though it hurts his throat slightly to speak—]

... Thank you. It seems this place has yet to tire of me.

*But Selphie was setting herself up for the usual snub, for some kind of obvious sign that shouldn't have tried to help him out, that he could do it without her, that when he smiles and says thank you...*

What..?

*Eyes wide, mouth open, yes she is totally staring at you Tiir. So amazed and confused*

[He shifts uncomfortably beneath her stare. This is going to be even more of a struggle than he thought if every person he meets acts like this...]

... What? You don't have to look at me like that.

*Oh gosh, now she feels bad. And also like she wants to just hug him within an inch of his life. For so long she's just wanted some sign of friendliness from Tiir, so this is overwhelming. Instead she just beams at him, afraid that a hug would spook him, shaking her head*

Nothing! Nothing! You're welcome! You're so...so welcome!

[Hugging him would possibly break his brain, yes.

A little caught off-guard at her enthusiasm, he blinks.]

Ah... you're welcome? Though it wasn't that big of a deal...

*Selphie paused for a moment, trying to compose herself, if even just a little*

Sorry - I know. I just...thought you mighta bumped your head when you landed back here is all. But it's good that you're back!~

Bumped my head...?

[He frowns slightly, shaking his head.]

And why is that?

Oh...

*Selphie blinks at Tiir, a little confused at what's going on. But between leaving here and coming back, something seems to have changed. Still, she's not going to question that now*

Nothing! Just me being silly!

*And then she notices the blood and frowns, moving closer*

Are you hurt? I can heal that...

[He shakes his head.]

Well, I wouldn't refuse magic, but my wounds have already healed, so you don't need to worry about that.

*Selphie smiles, just a small smile, and nods her head*

Right. Well..that's good then. So...you're okay?

*It was just such a different experience - talking to Tiir without being on edge the whole time*

For the most part, yes. A bit tired, and being brought back here all of a sudden certainly hasn't helped, but I'll make do.

[It's a different experience for him as well, trying not to be wary of humans. Still, if there's any time for change for him, it's now.]

*Selphie smiles and nods, understanding*

Well...Can I do anything for you or...are you just gonna go home?

[... What should he do here? Just leave? Would that be normal here or still the result of him hating humans?

He stare at her for a few moments, trying to figure this out, before slowly shrugging.]

Unless you need me for anything...

*Selphie just watches Tiir for a moment more, contemplating hard his suggestion. The only thing she can think of makes her shuffle that little bit closer. Then, in one movement, she leans forward and wraps her arms carefully around him in a hug*

I think that's all, now.

Ah—

[Wait, what?]

[She's hugging him.

This human girl is hugging him.

Of all things, Tiir can say with absolute certainty that he wasn't expecting that, and so he freezes, pushing down the instinct to shove her away, instead staring at her with a shocked face.]

I... what?

*All the while he's thinking, Selphie will just hold on. When she does eventually back away, she's smiling like a girl who's just successfully done something naughty that she wasn't supposed to do*

That's called a hug, Tiir. And you have no iddeaaa about how long I wanted to do that for!

[He continues to stare, completely dumbfounded.

She—hugging—what?]

... But why?

*Selphie smiles and shakes her head gently, gesturing like she's explaining something obvious*

Because you always looked like you needed one. Hugs make everything okay!

... I wasn't aware that I ever looked like I needed a hug...

[The idea of people hugging him in an attempt to comfort him is still so odd, considering he's always tried to be the one who had it all together.

And from a human, no less...]

Hmm... I don't wanna sound mean, but you looked like you really, really needed one sometimes. But that's okay, ya know.

*She's still smiling, but she shrugs a shoulder like it's not much of a big deal*

[He continues to stare, obviously not getting it, but...]

Ah... I'm still not certain exactly what you mean by that, but I... suppose I appreciate the sentiment?

[Maybe?]

*Selphie is worried for a moment that something's going to change, that maybe Tiir will remember how he reacted towards her before. But...when he doesn't a huge smile breaks out on her face*

Good! I'm so glad!~

*She wants to hug him again, but she holds back, just smiling, hands clasped together*

[He just tilts his head to one side, still looking confused.]

... I'm not quite certain why you're so happy over this, but as long as you're glad, I suppose.

*Selphie just smiles back and nods in agreement*

Perfect! Then we're both happy!~
