[ Continued from here. ]

[ It is. ;_; And with rabbit ears! ]

[ Nope, that's too embarrassing. ] Come on, you're not much of a cat if you don't eat fish or meow...

[ They need it to recover!! ]

[ Sob, another thing for Tyr to find... ] Still, I haven't seen your practice with it, either... [ Totally not. That's silly. ]

[negativegate]

[Yeah! Gotta revitalize! :<]

[Somehow he'll manage it-!] I don't really need to. [Of course not!]

[blackshadow]

[ So they can keep going!! ]

[ Needs a map-! ] You'll fall out of practice saying that... [ Her magic is always with her!! ]

[negativegate]

[That's right-!]

[He needs to recruit a cartographer!] There's no way I'd fall out of practice when it comes to artes. [Just like her blastia~!]

[blackshadow]

[ Where can he find one!? ] What about using it normally? [ Which never leaves her neck~ ]

[negativegate]

[If only there was a walkthrough-!] All I have to do is swing it. Besides, artes are more efficient. [She'd never even think of taking it off~]

[blackshadow]

[ Where's his Poly guide!? :'( ] I guess... It just seems sort of careless... [ Not for anyone~♥ ]

[negativegate]

[He could get Toph's!] As long as I have my magic to rely on, it's nothing to worry about. [Nobody at aaall~]

[blackshadow]

[ ...But it's Toph's! ] ...That's true... Hopefully you'll never have to fight without it.

[negativegate]

[And she put a lot of work into it...right?!] Of course I won't. I take very good care of my blastia, you know.

[blackshadow]

[ It was Toph-quality! ] I know--I don't think I could forget that.

[negativegate]

[Which is very different from top-quality...] Then unless all the mana suddenly vanishes or something, there's nothing to worry about.

[blackshadow]

[ Regardless of what Toph says! Rita should knock on wood after saying things like that... But Tyr thinks that's pretty ridiculous. ] I get it, I get it... I just worry some times anyway...

[negativegate]

[Yeeeep...And Rita doesn't think she's tempting fate or anything...] Well...I worry about you too, you know.

[blackshadow]

[ Not like fate exists anyhow... That makes him a little concerned. ] Is something wrong?

[negativegate]

[That would just be silly! Rita looks up at him, and waves her hand a bit--she didn't mean to make him concerned.] No, it's not that. Just, you know, when there's curses... [And his state at the beginning of the month really worried her--when she came back and Katara had left...]

[blackshadow]

[ Having Rita back helped him become more hopeful--and he's still hopeful that Katara will come back. (Though he can't imagine her being completely happy with the way his relationship with Rita has gone...)

But he's not thinking of that. He's thinking more about the curses and everything that's happened with them... He looks down at her, still a little worried. Especially since there's nothing he can do to relieve that worry for her. ] We just need to be as careful as we can... —I promise I will.

[negativegate]

[Rita's just going to try not to think about either of them leaving again. It's not like there'd be anything they could do about it, anyway...

Rita doesn't fret about him all the time, at least--mostly just when the more dangerous curses are happening. She nods back and replies with a resolute tone.] I know. It'll be fine.

[blackshadow]

[ They'd just be lonely...

He feels better that she has confidence still--he doesn't know what he'd do if Rita started having doubts. ] That's right. [ ...And feeling a little sappy, he leans over to give her a kiss. ]

[negativegate]

[Really, really lonely...

Sometimes she has doubts...but not today. Today, she's not in any kind of doubting mood--and ignoring the slight blush that automatically comes to her face, she doesn't hesitate to kiss him right back.]

[blackshadow]

[ ._.

They'll get used to this kissing each other thing eventually, too. It's only a short kiss before Tyr pulls away, smiling again, but not really feeling embarrassed. ]

[negativegate]

[;A;

It is only the first day, after all! Rita thinks they're getting accustomed quickly enough--and she feels almost happy beyond words, smiling right back at him

[blackshadow]

[ /never lets go ;;

She's cute beyond words when she smiles. ] I can't believe we waited this long to say anything...

[negativegate]

[/clinging forever!!

She loves Tyr's smile, too. And when he says that, she scratches her cheek a little sheepishly but is pretty quick to talk to him.] Yeah...I mean, I didn't know what to do--it's not like I've ever felt like this before, so--but it seemed so easy this morning.

[blackshadow]

[ Can't leave each other like this!! >:<

His smile turns a little lopsided when she admits that she didn't know what to do. But then he feels sort of lucky that he's the one she fell in love with first. ] Yeah... It was easier than I thought, too... I probably should have been the one to say something, but... I guess I was really just worried...
