Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ahri stared down at Talia. More specifically the broken arm she now sported.

Seriously... They couldn't go anywhere, could they.

The pair had over taken the living room and where currently process of starting some mass movie marathon they'd been talking about doing for the better part of two months and had just not gotten around to.

No time like the present, he supposed.

They had collectively stolen just about every spare pillow and blanket throughout the house. He'd gotten her an assortment of easy to eat snacks and well, he was there to open any bottles or drinks she may need. He just wasn't sure what else she needed. Heating pad? Ice pack?

.... Could you use those with a broken arm? Ah well, whatever.

Everyone else was out and about, and honestly after the last group session talk he had had, Ahri was thankful it was just the two of them. Especially since he had wanted to talk to her about a few things. With a quiet sigh, curled up in his corner of the nest of blanket and pillows. "You realize the irony in this right. You tell me to be careful, yet you go and break your arm."

They were both dumb.

Tucking his legs under him, Ahri sighed again. "...I... I have a question.. If you're up for humoring me."

"I didn't ask to be stabbed either." He reminded her. It was up for debate really.

"I... don't know what to tell you. The whole situation is just... Weird." He sighed, shifting to lean on her good side. "Our whole family is weird.... Though I suppose that makes us unique. You can safely say no one's got a family like yours. Half youma for a brother, a dire wolf turn human for a cousin. Got any super secret sisters you want to tell me about or is that my birthday present?" He asked with a light hearted laugh.

"I am sorry though... About your brother, about your arm... All of it." It was shitty situation and he didn't know how to fix things or make it better for her.

"I uh.... I need your help." He said softly. "First off, no. I'm not in danger." ...Yet. Who knew what could happen with this. "Second, I have told both Tobias and Evan about this so I'm not keeping secrets this time." Not about this. "I uh... I have this friend. Actually, uh... It's the guy who helped me when I got stabbed. He wants out. Or at the very least, he wants to talk to someone... Aaaand I figured, who better to talk to then the one senshi I know whose made a habit of taking the Negaverse home with her?" Ahri bit his lip, turning his head to look at her. "I didn't know who else to turn to, but given you helped me I knew you wouldn't judge him. ...He's a half youma."

Ahri paused, glancing at her for a moment.

"Yes, a half youma. He wants to purify out, yes." Ahri snorted. "If he wanted an ambush, he would have done so ages ago. He knows I've given him enough opportunities to do so. But he won't. He's got enough to juggle right now that I think an ambush is the last thing he wants." If anything, Ahri wouldn't be surprised if Celadonite was more worried that he was going to get ambushed, instead of ambushing them. "Talia, he's scared, just like I was. You helped me, how is this any different?"

"Doing it on Lysithea shouldn't be a problem." He had, admittedly forgotten to tell Celadonite that that was an option. But... It shouldn't be a problem. "I guess he's got a friend whose going through some stuff, and he just done with everything." Ahri shrugged lightly, careful not to jar Talia too much. "I just want to help him Talia. I know it's probably dangerous but, I trust him."

"I'm not even going to begin try and make sense of what happened, but for what it's worth. I'm sorry, about it all." Ahri peeled himself off her side, scooching away a small bit to give her some space. "Talia... You know you have nothing to apologize for. Not to me anyway. I know you did what you could to help him."

He nodded. "I know you're not mad at me, and I know I'm poking buttons I shouldn't be right now. I just.. Wasn't sure who else I could go to without any sort of judgement." Ahri handed her a drink, something to occupy her hands. "Change of topic. My birthday's coming up. What do you want to do for it?"

Ahri lit up at the mention of an arcade. "Oh my god yes. I'm going to kick your a** at those games. So get your practice in while you can! We can always make a day outta it. Like just the two of us?" It had been a while since they'd done that. "We could like, go a couple days before or after, and then spend the actual birthday with everyone?"

It sounded like a plan, in theory.

He feel silent for a minute, fidgeting in his seat. "Um... Thank you. For putting up with my button pushing. and my questions." Ahri said quietly. "Do.. Do you wanna just take a nap? We can crash for a couple hours before everyone comes back." It was a better alternative then dealing with his nonsense.
