Sessions Worlds and Stuff

*she guesses Ribbon's discomfort and focuses on the pet conversation, for her sake* Yeah, they do enough running around after Nyx already. And having a cat would be... There'd be unfortunate implications there, given what Nyx is made of. There are lots of other animals, though.

[:]? @? *they confer for a moment before agreeing*
[:]D The butterfly place!
@) *pulls over a sheet of paper*

0u0 maybe we could start with a fish, and see how things go from there? 0u0

You can hold a turtle. And Hamnet and Factor did seem to connect with the one at the zoo.

[:]) Lots of flowers. And lots of butterflies! *has grabbed a green marker for the flower stems*
@) mommyandhamnetheldbutterfliesintheirhands! @/ factorcouldn'ttouchthemthough. daddysaidshadowwouldscarethem. @) butwasstillnicetowatch.

= That sounds great! aside from the not being able to hold them part... = = maybe I could come with you guys if you ever go to the zoo again. =

[==@] soaturtlewouldbegood?
^u^ yes, a turtle sounds good. 0u0 we'll have to find one some time soon.

@) yeah. mommysaidwecangobackagain. thenyoucanseethebutterfliestoo!
[:]) And all the cats. [(]) Nyx really liked the cats.

That'll be nice. It'll definitely teach them patience. Or try their patience, haha. *she's thinking of Nyx in particular there. Turtles are slow.*

[==@] thenitsoundslikethebestwecouldfindfornow. [=@=]
^u^ Hehe. it might. but I belive they can handle it. 0u0

=:o ! = thats nice to know. = *looking side to side in a false act of being sneaky, Onponn leans in and says,* do you think nyx would like it if i got him a cat plushy? =
=[|:|3?] PlushY? =[|:|3?]
][:] ...
7B3 "z"

So do I. They held so still for the butterflies.

[:]? We don't know what plushy is...
@) butifisacatthennyxwilllikeit.

=:o ! = well then I think we should get everyone a plushy in time for night. something to cuddle with as you fall asleep. = = = = *had thought for a moment to say, 'even Sophie has one', but remembered your emotional attachment to it... maybe it would be better to let you bring it up on your own*
=[|:|3D] YaY? *isn't totally sure if getting plushies is the best, but it sounds good, so...*
][:] ? plushies? ][:]

^u^ yes, they did. Hamnet and Factor were very good with treating them right. 0u0
[=@=] ... [==@] isthisallwe'vegottotalkabout,oristhereanythingelseyouwouldliketobringup... also,wewouldliketoknowhowthebandageisdoing. [=@=]

[:]D Yeah! Cuddle!
@) *feeling like they've said something very helpful, even if they don't know what a plushy is, they've now picked up a pink marker to start coloring some flower petals*

*her hand goes to her shoulder by reflex* It's good. It's-- It's like I can take all the intrusive bad thoughts and things I don't need to worry about now and put them aside, leaving me free to think things I hadn't been able to before. Or feel.

[@==] good... itsalwayshelpfultobeabletothinkalittlelongeraboutthings... [=@=]
0~0 um. I. I would just like to take care, and mention that. that putting things aside doesn't fix them... just, trying to look out for you. 0u0 0~0 I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you... *Ribbon had some difficulty saying this. but she really feels like its important... concerns over if everything you've put aside might rush in all at once if you removed the bandage or something* 0~0

=[|:|33] ThinK ItS DonE. *a picture of a large fish with ear-wings, a trunk, wiskers, and a cats tail can be seen* =[|??] Doesn'T LooK AS GooD AS I HopeD. =[|??]
= well, I think it looks nice. =:)and yes, we should get right to getting cuddle stuff sorted once the others come back in. =
][:] *zones back out watching tv and relaxing*
7B? "z?"

...I'll be careful, Ribbon. They really are things that should be put aside, though. At least for now. *and she's glad to have them out of the way, especially her guilt about Ribbon*

[:]) *while Factor works on adding petals to the flowers, they start drawing butterflies*
@) @? *looking at Marlow's picture* @) hasitallonit.
