"No...no we're not." The wind blew heavily. Could that mask the tears starting to trickle down her face? She hadn't notice it yet, at least.

🌀

Well, that was...something. But why? Why him? Why /anyone/? She must've been aware of her actions, at least a little bit. She could've stopped herself, surely. Was she crying?

....she regretted it, at least enough to tell him. That much was obvious. But it still hurt. Tassek lowered his gaze, unable to stand watching her tears. He knew Seculus was better than him. He was more romantic, it was his goddamn /job/ after all, he was kinder, more devoted, probably... Which was why he pointed out the one flaw he could find at every possible opportunity. Seculus was a coward, so that made him better for Terezi. But apparently not.

He didn't notice the tear start to slip down his own cheek.

●

He...was crying? That tore it. She couldn't help it anymore. Terezi dropped to her knees.

"I'M SORRY!" She screamed out, the tears coming down like Niagara falls.

2015-07-14 04:57:43

🌀

He jumped and his head snapped up at the cry. Oh God. She was sobbing. He'd promised to protect her, whether she was wearing the stupid ring or not. He crossed the roof, kneeled, and hugged her. Maybe he could win her back.

2015-07-14 05:13:50

●

She looked at him. He...was hugging her. No no no /no!/ She didn't /deserve/ that. She fucked up. Badly. She didn't deserve his kindness. She stumbled back from his embrace. No. She couldn't accept that.

2015-07-14 05:16:13

🌀

He looked hurt, arms still hanging in midair before being lowered. Was she going to throw the ring off the roof next?

2015-07-14 05:21:18

●

No. Not the roof. That wouldn't kill her anyway. Without another word, she stood up, and went to the door, slipping back inside.

2015-07-14 05:22:49

🌀

He remained there, eyes lowering to the ground. Couldn't she just say sorry and move on? He'd love to.

Anndrea watched as Terezi and Tassek stepped outside the apartment. What was that about? She wasn't sure. Maybe they just needed some alone time? She looked to Seculus. "Any idea as to why they have left?" She asked him.

2015-07-14 05:33:22

🌀

Well, I did have somewhat of an idea, but it was probably incorrect, and she probably wouldn't like to hear the assumption. Let's go with alone time. I shrugged. "Probably just for some solitude. It is a nice night." I paused the movie for them; this was the only appliance in the apartment I'd finally figured out how to use at least partially correctly. "If you'd like, I have something to show you too." I'd been meaning to for a while. But, well, with everything...

2015-07-14 05:40:23

●

Solitude? That seems correct. She smiled. "Of course." She stood up from the couch.

2015-07-14 05:41:54

🌀

I got up as well and exited the apartment, holding the door open for her, then went downstairs, as I definitely didn't want to interrupt whatever was going down on the roof. There was also the additional problem of making her cry by jumping off the roof again.

....yes, let's not do that.

2015-07-14 05:47:56

●

She followed Seculus outside the apartment as well. It should be noted that she was currently wearing the dress Seculus gave her for Christmas as well. She was a but confused as to where she was taking her, but still followed curiously.

2015-07-14 05:50:14

🌀

When we reached the street, it was empty, thank goodness. Just to be on the safe side though, I detoured into the surprisingly clean alleyway between it and the next building. Well, it was a nicer place, so it wasn't too surprising. No one would see out their windows; they were all at parties, surely.

2015-07-14 05:52:32

●

She stopped once they got to the alleyway. Now she was entirely interested. "So...what did you want to show me?"

2015-07-14 05:55:14

🌀

"Watch this." I unfolded my wings, spreading them wide behind me. Then I bent my knees and launched myself into the air.

It was a bit harder, as the air was heavier from smog here than in Calistor, but I did manage, reaching the sixth floor and pulling a tight circle.

2015-07-14 05:59:04

●

Anndrea's face lit up like a Christmas tree once she saw that Secclus could fly. "That is...that is wonderful! When did you learn to do that?" She asked, calling up to him.

2015-07-14 06:02:47

🌀

I descended again, landing on a closed dumpster. It was so much more exhilarating to do in the real world, and I had a blissful grin on my face. "In my sleep, a few weeks ago. By accident."

2015-07-14 06:06:03

●

"Calypso bothering you again?" She asked. As if she needed an answer to know.

2015-07-14 06:06:58

🌀

"As if she'd ever do anything else. But I suppose she made herself useful this one time, even if I was hit by a high-heeled shoe in the process."

2015-07-14 06:07:55

●

"I shall laugh when those heels make her break her ankle one day." That was cruel but...it was Calypso.

2015-07-14 06:10:28

🌀

"So long as I continue making her chase me, that's inevitable." I dangled my gray-clad legs over the edge of the dumpster.

2015-07-14 06:14:38

●

She moved over to the dumpster. "That might teach her a lesson. Well, I doubt it but, one could hope."

2015-07-14 06:16:11

🌀

"That is, until ginger finds out that it was indirectly my fault and comes after me with a hand-saw."

"I am sure he will be pushed off a cliff for angering someone he should not have before that happens."
