girl time"Well, it's super cute," Autumn chirped, taking the pillow and smiling down at it. It was... cute. Really cute, actually. More girly and soft than Autumn had expected of a supposed witch. But that was what she got for assuming, huh? Shame on her.
"I try to go for cute when I decorate, but I always go like. Clean edges and black and white. Poor Zac is probably having a meltdown, dealing with my 'modern' design sense," Autumn laughed, shaking her head.
"I think, when I was a kid, I had a pink phase. Dad hated it. I wanted, like. Pink everything. Even pink food, when I could."

"It's hard to maintain when you live like I do," said Sunny to the ceiling. "So I fell out of it pretty fast. I don't think I was ever into pink, but it's not like I got to be a child for very long. I sort of just… liked this age, and stopped here." She stretched out on her pile of pillows. "So how are you?"

"Well, it suits you. I don't know how people would process you, at another age." Autumn shrugged, not really sure how to otherwise comment. An older Sunny or a younger Sunny... it was hard to mentally process. Autumn was developing the sneaking suspicion that the more she learned about Sunny, the stranger it was going to get. But that was okay, you know? This s**t was already weird. A little more weirdness was just icing on the cake.
As for how she was?
"I'm... okay?" Sunny had probably not anticipated her life's drama, but Autumn was a forthright person. You didn't get anywhere, keeping secrets. "My boyfriend is gone. Just... stopped responding one day. And now I'm just kinda aimless, wondering if I'm actually helping anyone at all."
A short, sharp bark of a laugh.
"You know. The typical existential s**t."

"You should team up with Aleksy," said Sunny to the ceiling, "he can see the newbies and you can help them. He sucks at it. Because he sucks as a person." She peeked at Autumn out of the corner of her eyes. "Boys are dumb," she said. "We should throw rocks at them."

"I don't think Aleksy likes me much, but I've gotten pretty good at this whole song and dance." She couldn't help but laugh, just a little, at how blunt Sunny was in her opinion of Aleksy. He didn't SEEM like a bad guy, but she honestly loved anyone who dished openly on their feelings. It was refreshing.
But then again, considering Sunny wasn't a prototypical human, Autumn suspected she didn't buy into the whole girl game, anyway.
"We should," Autumn agreed, nodding. "And then go get burgers or something."

"I ******** love burgers," said Sunny, exploding back up to a sitting position. "Any time you need a burger. We will go to the burgers. And I will eat all of them. I know what I'm about. And it's burgers." Burgers and dogs. She brushed her hands over her hair and said, "Well, people need good at the song and dance. I'm not so hot at it, I don't think."

"It's just kinda funny, honestly? The fact that I'm kind of giving people this talk. I dunno, I wouldn't have ever expected it." She wasn't smiling, now. "I didn't have friends, growing up. People thought I was weird."
Autumn settled more comfortably, and cracked a grin.
"I mean, I'm still weird as s**t now. But I think everyone else is ******** weird now, too. So I've just finally found my people." She paused.
"You totally can't eat more burgers than me, though. I'm a ******** food-eating champ."

"Welcome to the weird hometown," intoned Sunny. "And yes I totally can. I cheat, I don't have a physical stomach, you know? So. Ha. Instant victory."

"So like, what can't you do?" Autumn asked, taking a weirdly serious direction with the black hole of a stomach.
"All that power... and no itty bitty living space," she made the shitty joke, despite knowing Sunny wouldn't get it, "is it suffocating? Just like. I dunno, all that expectation and s**t of people expecting you to wave away their problems?"

Sunny frowned at Autumn, but it wasn't, like, an angry frown. It was a... I haven't thought of that in a while frown. The kind of frown a mom got when her kid asked her something so utterly obviously transparent that the question didn't even really bear answering. Except it was also the kind of flummoxed expression someone got when asked to think about something really abstract, like the nature of the universe. Sunny obviously didn't have an answer, and was trying to produce one. "I... I know of people, like that," she said, faltering over the words. "People like you, but who kind of... They see that I'm." She paused. "Special," like the word was dirty in her mouth, "and they expect that because they know what I am I'm... obligated to do things. For them. Lots of things, sometimes. Other times, just little things. But it's like..." She knotted her hands into the pockets of her hoodie. "Jeremiah promised me that he'd come by and be my friend," she said. "But the second that was inconvenient, he broke that promise. Because some a*****e on fire acted like it might be a good idea. Because someone he didn't even know said I was dangerous. But he still... expects me to help him, and want to be his friend, and not be mad. Only I am, I'm... I'm so mad, I feel dirty and small and terrible when I see him, or anyone, really, I'm like a toy, or a useful encyclopedia, people can just... forget about me. And not even feel bad about it, not even regret it a little. And I hate it! I know I'm not a person, but, but I feel like one sometimes, and stuff like that keeps happening and it hurts and I hate it and it hurts and..." Sunny was crying, and bright red about it. It wasn't even the pretty movie kind of crying, it was the gross kind, with puffy eyes and snot. If asked, later, about this, she would lie and deny it. Only Autumn was there, and she could see the whole nasty business.

It was like Autumn had lit a firework. Only, instead of just one firework, it was a shitton of them. And they were all detonating at once, in the form of what might've been one of the ugliest cries Autumn had ever seen. This was NOT what she had been expecting from Sunny- the witch of the waves, the basically infallible source of knowledge on magic and Otherness. It was easy enough to forget that she was a girl, too. Ordinary and extraordinary, both at the same time.
"That's... really ******** up of him" Autumn sympathized, leaning over for a pseudo-hug back pat. She still wasn't sure what level of comfort you could provide to a nigh-god, but hell. Autumn was gonna try her damndest. Face drawn downwards, she just offered as much of a sympathetic vibe and words as she could.
"You've really stuck your neck out for him, like. A lot. And that burning guy is crown reigning megadouche of megadouches. So seriously, ******** Jer for that. I'm... gonna have angry words with that ********, seriously. I'm... really sorry, Sunny." She pulled Sunny just a bit closer for the hug.
"That's not right to do, especially to someone as kick-a** as you. I'll beat him up for you, if you want."
