"Thanks. I'm glad I'm back too. And you know you can come talk to me about stuff right? I had a lot of chick friends before the island." Not in a cool way, more in a 'he's just your friend' kind of way. But the truth was that Bix was just as happy for the hugs, glad this hadn't ended in catastrophe like some of his other conversations lately. "Oh yeah if you are sure. Please don't give me all of it." He didn't want to take her food, especially not on account of her own self imposed guilt, as it seemed before. "Just enough for a meal or two."

"No no, yer really welcome ta all'a it. Ah've been tryin' ta get people ta eat what Ah make but Ah guess all it takes is one person ta overhear sommin' an' the gossip on this island spreads like wildfire. Everyone's scared now Ah'll poison 'em." The gossip was mostly with hunters she didn't know by name, not really any of the trainees, but if the higher ups couldn't really trust her it cut into her spending money and ability to get things faster. Eventually she'd need to just lay low for a while and when it all blew over she'd start right back up.
And then she'd poison the s**t out of the ******** who spread the rumor.
Several items, mostly non-perishable things like beans and rice, where placed in a plastic bag while the more fridge and freezer bound where placed in a plastic box. "Ah could always say the same ta ya too, 'bout comin' an' talkin' wit' me. Gets kinda lonely in the kitchen here since Clover an' Ah. . . . ugh, why do Ah keep bringin' him up."

Bix watched her load the bag. He knew the portals had been closed for a while so some of the items may have done with a bit of difficulty to get. It was a shame what she said about people eating her cooking. "Well next time you are going to make anything, let me know. I trust your food." He remembered the oh so delicious baking contest. Mmmmmmmm. Bix watched her obvious frustration over Before and frowned. He hadn't realized how close theother two were.You'd think he was an ex boyfriend or something. Could they have-? .. naaaah. MAYBE? ...nahhhh. Bix poked Ofie a bit, "Why don't you go talk to him? Just straight out? Instead of all this.." He waved his hand vaguely. "You clearly want to."

Ofelia's face burst six shades of red, more like her face just plain exploded, and she placed her hands on both sides of her cheeks and shook her head. "Ah wanna see him but Ah'm scared ta see him 'cause stuff an' what if he's still mad an' UGH it's pissin' me off." Ofelia tossed something into the bag, having moved her hands from her face, and she ended up throwing it so hard it ripped through the bag and shattered on the wall. Oops. ". . .sorry 'bout that, lemme get a broom. Ah'll clean it up."

Bix stared a bit wide eyed as Ofie turned crimson, muttered about stuff, and started smashing things. "And.. stuff?"

". . . . . . " Ofelia turned to lok at Bix, her face still so red you could probably fry something on her skin and have it burn to extra crispy. " . . . . . . . " How exactly was she going to say that she'd been having wet dreams about Before and stuff like that? Girls just didn't come out and admit things like that, not to anyone, and Ofelia certainly wasn't even sure they were real and just weren't part of her body trying to heal up from injuries.
" . . .stuff."
Ofelia was...not the vague type ever but now she really was being. Sorry Bix )=

Bix narrowed his eyes suspiciously.  "Were you guys like secretly dating and never told me?" He needed to stop watching girly anime.

"Wha?! Datin'? Noooo, nooo." Of that one fact Ofelia could be really, really certain. She wasn't too sure of her own feelings about Before, they were sort of muddled and she didn't understand them, but she had a basic understanding of his. Or, at least she thought she did. "He likes someone, sure, but Ah'm pretty pretty pretty like a hundred percent sure it ain't me."
That...didn't hurt to say like she might have thought it would. Maybe Ofelia never felt pain when saying things she knew to be true and didn't have to lie to herself about? It was an interesting thought.
" . . .why are ya lookin' at me like that."

"Well you're bright red.. and doing all that silent staring at me without saying anything." Bix continued to squint. "I think you're hiding something." Cue dramatic music. Dun dun duuuuuun.

"Ah'm not hidin' anythin' - Ah'm an open book as fer as yer concerned." Ofelia was totally lying out of her a** because it was mortifying to tell someone who was a friend that you were having dreams about your other mutual friend. That was like telling your dad you dream about your brother, or something.
She was going to change the subject, now. "So...ya an' Ceres, huh? Ah've never met her, but if ya like her Ah suppose Ah'm already enjoyin' her company."

Bix still had a narrow-eyed suspicious look but he eventually let it go. Ofie was clearly steering the conversation away from herself but he was willing to comply if she didn't want to share. "She's a good one.." Bix smiled a bit. "She's a Moon." Not that it said anything about her. Bix was still unsure what to say about Ceres really. He didn't want to gush or seem weird. Instead he just turned a bit of a pink color and busied himself with rearranging the groceries as Ofie cleaned up the mess she'd made.

"Ah'm glad ya got yerself a good one - ya most certainly deserve ta be happy. Though far warnin' - if she treats ya bad, or ya treat her bad, answerin' ta me is gonna be the least'a yer problems, kay?" Ofelia teased in her usual good-natured way, and she wink-blinked at the albino.
The mess was taking a little longer to clean up than she'd liked, probably because she'd tossed a canister of cocoa powder and it'd gone everywhere. Oops. "Everyone on this island deserves happiness though, really, so Ah'm super glad fer ya that the both'a ya found yers b'for it was too late. Not many couples can say they went 'til death ta part an' came back from it." That really was something one could brag about because who all would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes? They'd turned into monsters at the same time, came back as humans, and were now living together.
"Inna way...Ah'm kinda jealous."

Bix turned a bit pink when she went on about 'death til you part'. He'd actually thought about that fact in depth and while he didn't mind it and everything with Ceres was perfectly comfortable, he wondered if that fact was some level of undue pressure on the pair of them. Dying and coming back, together? They certainly would be tied together by that moment forever, even if their relationship never lasted. When Ofie expressed a bit of jealousy, he didn't really know how to respond. Instead he shifted around her to clean up the very last of the exploded cocoa, wiping some from the wall. How did it even get that high up? "Well umm.. don't be?" Bix stumbled with the words before just clarifying. "Honestly I don't know what to say to that." He smiled sheepishly. "You'll find someone. Or someone will find you." He gave her elbow a squeeze as he tossed the last paper towel.

Ofelia liked the affection he shared, it was honest and kind, and the teen did her best to try and believe his words. Someone had once told her, or maybe she'd overheard, that there was someone out there for everywhere. While she may have been trapped on Deus, her number of "someones" drastically limited, there was still some hope that one day she could be happy.
Or if not happy with a person at least happy as a person? It was a work in progress, whatever.
The rest of the goods, the ones she hadn't thrown like they were going out of style, were properly packed in place. It was funny, the teen didn't want to mention to Bix that this was her stash only for this kitchen because then maybe he'd wonder just how much money she spent on food. "Was there anythin' else ya needed, now that ya got basic supplies? Need a sammich fer the road or sommin'?"

"Nah thanks." Bix waited for the last articles to be put together. "I actually scoped the cafeteria before this. Had a nibble. Hoping to find a way to steal from them." This statement was accompanied by a guilty darting of the eyes. "I mean, BORROW." It was clear that the portals were working. Deus facilities were well stocked. It was only the hunters themselves who were being punished and denied access. Bix straightened and readied to head back to his room. With only a momentary pause he put an arm around Ofie's shoulder and pressed his lips to her temple in an affectionate kiss. "You're a good one, Ofie. Don't let anyone tell you different, okay? Don't believe those idiot people and don't get down on yourself." He gave her a squeeze. "And I won't put up with any s**t talk on you either, if I hear it." It wouldn't be the first time he got angrily defensive and power trippy in defense of one of his friends. With that he pulled away from her and picked up the gathered food.
