[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[Naiad]

I take the cup. "... I've always preferred warm things."

 

[Myst]

I take the cup. "... I've always preferred warm things."

(That reference to when Sai was showering Blaze. XD )

"Me too." I smile at her.

 

[Naiad]

(( YESS YOU GOT IT ))

I sip the coffee. ".... Do you happen to have any sugar or cream?"

 

[Myst]

"Yes." I open a drawer and hand her some.

 

[Naiad]

(( This RP has some of the most hardcore scenes
like— what other RP goes into deep detail about coffee ))

"Thank you." I pour 4 creams and sugars in.

".... About Sage—" I start.

This was a bad idea.

 

[Myst]

"Hm?" I set my cup down on my desk and gaze at her.

 

[Naiad]

"She's scared." I sip my coffee.

 

[Myst]

I tilt my head curiously and ask, "Scared of...?"

 

[Naiad]

"... Being abandoned again."

 

[Myst]

I sigh. "She knows I'm not going anywhere... right?"

 

[Naiad]

I set my cup down on the desk. ".... No, she doesn't. She's scared that you'll walk away again. She fears being abandoned."

 

[Myst]

"Well... what should I do then? I just find it so hard to connect with her... especially now that she has Helix and the others. I feel like she doesn't need me anymore."

 

[Naiad]

I raise an eyebrow. ".... Would you connect with someone again if they just up and left you the first time around?"

I... feel like it would be too scary for me to try to connect with Blaze if he ever came back. Knowing that he could just as easily leave....

 

[Myst]

"Look, Sai, I didn't leave her on purpose... Our parents died 3 years after I left the house for university... I tried to come back... but someone was stopping me... they wouldn't let me leave... It was like being held captive. I can only imagine how much worse it must have been for Sage."

 

[Naiad]

"..... But she thinks that you left her. Mace, you have to tell her what really happened. Don't skim over anything."

 

[Myst]

"Every time I try to... she runs away..."

 

[Naiad]

".... You have to accept that she's going to blame you at first. Never start with 'it wasn't my fault'. Let Sage decide for herself." I smile softly at Mace.

 

[Myst]

I sigh. "Thanks, Sai... I guess I'll try that tomorrow."

I make a sad expression and say, "I guess I should give you a new room... that is, if you want?" She let it happen... I thought I could trust her...

 

[Naiad]

I pat the seat next to me. "We're not done."

 

[Myst]

"What do you mean?"
