hey, ➙ 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵 ・ 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 ・「 𝗠𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 」 .

What happened with Lyra?

I figured that much. But I wasn't there for the whole thing, what started it? I'll talk to them.

(Shaking his head.) Nothing to apologize for. If anything I think the two of them should apologize to each other when they both cool off. I'm just worried about them.

Lyra's the same. They can have really bad temper sometimes, unfortunately. It's been hours and they're still mad.

Doesn't look like it at first glance. They just need to cool off but I'll be with them. (If anyone can calm them down, it's him.) They're.. Usually not like this.

.. Talk to Candy. I don't want Lyra stressed during this time, and definitely not hurt physically. (You can tell he's worried.)

Thanks. Will do. I'm still trying to convince them to open the door. Any luck on your end?

No. That's definitely not better.

I don't really want to leave Lyra alone right now. But it's not like I'm going to kick the door down. That wouldn't help the situation.

I will. Though... Do you maybe have a key? I really don't want to not be near them. .. I can see that working too.

(immediately catching it.) Thanks. I don't want them to possibly fall back into bad habits.

( opening the door to the room lyra. is in.) sunshine?

i just...wanted to check in on you.

i really don't think i should. do you.. need a hug?

I'm going to go be with them now.

(pulling them close, feeling their hair.)

shh.. shh.. it's okay. you're okay. (not letting go. he knows they find it comforting.)

"Sorry, sunshine. I should've realized." (Kissing his forehead.)
