PPP; S.4, T.1
The clock strikes twelve and everyone will find themselves inexorably drawn to a seat; the once-empty place marking now bears their name on it. The place settings and food items all vanish in a spray of glitter, and the In the middle of the tables what appears in their stead are--two fancy gold chests, one inlaid with red jewels and the other inlaid with blue jewels (neither of which can be opened yet) as well as what looks to be a game board and, of course, a single dice. The long, billowing curtains draw down around each table and--you'll find yourself unable to leave your table, or see or hear anything beyond it other than the background music which continues to play.

Her tail flicks anxiously and her ears lower, but then she shifts and just. Submits to petting. ]
Re: Round 2
[ did you know
the ring can make you want to cuddle to? she's going to start cuddling you. ]
I know you've been disappointed and hurt a lot lately. And I'm sorry for that--for what I've contributed to it, especially. I want to do better by you. Will you help me with that?
Re: Round 2
Help-- how?
Re: Round 2
[ ONLY KIJA would like that sort of thing.... he's... her special boy. ]
So that means I need you to talk to me and tell me when you're feeling things and why. I want to make you happy, but I can't even have the opportunity to try if you won't tell me what you want.
Re: Round 2
[ The bond radiates anxiety, insecurity, vulnerability, (hope?) -- and she knows it does, that her usual tactic of dodging and weaving and denying won't work now. ]
I don't know how to do that.

When everyone knows your weaknesses, they cut you down for them.

Re: Round 2
It doesn't matter if no one's out to get you. If people like you.
[ There's a flash of hurt and bitterness and sadness that runs so deep, it can only be an integral part of her rather than a fleeting emotion ]
Re: Round 2
[ deep, quiet sadness. ]
