005 ♰ video/action for Violet City (she's slowly becoming Lion with Cherrygrove.)

[fathersbeloved]

[The inn room is poorly lit, probably just whatever light from the outside that could get through the curtains. Darjeeling the Houndoom can be seen lying at the bed's feet, just beside the owner of the pokegear.

Beatrice looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in some days, even when she woke up 5 days ago. Her eyes are puffy, but there is no evidence of crying. She does look rather upset.]

Good night... I... just wanted to tell everyone I am awake... and that I am fine.

[She pauses, struggling with something inside...finaly, she frowns, and looks away for a moment.]

I wish to ask to you, all of you who might know the answer... could you please tell me, what is a son? How... how does having a son feel? Please...


[The feed cuts abruptly.]

You were caught in that dream as well? [[somehow he feels bad that he missed seeing here there]]

[fathersbeloved]

Ryou...

[Looks down, her eyes threaten to cry again.]

I... I don't know. It was very dark and... and there was a doll and...!

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[something about dolls in nightmares...]]

Ne, are you still in Violet? [[because it's very obvious that she is in need of comfort/ice cream/cheering up.]]

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

Yes... I'm in the inn, with Darjeeling.

[shiromadoushi]

Would you like some company? We can talk in person, it's easier that way.

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

...I...

Y-yes, I wouldn't mind some company... I'll go downstairs and wait in the lobby...

[Video -> Action]

[shiromadoushi]

I'll be right there.

[[and a short while later he arrives, his sableye at his side. There's also a hoppip hiding in his hair, but he's napping and Bakura didn't have the heart to move him. Can barely see him in that mess of hair anyway!]]

Hey. [[greets with a small wave]] Hope I didn't keep you waiting.

[Now that she's in a place with more light, her puffy eyes are more obvious. Still, she smiles and hugs him.]

You didn't!

[action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[The hug was unexpected! But very nice! There's a 2 second pause before he returns it just out of pure surprise.]] I'm glad! I just had to make sure Amane-chan wasn't going to cause any trouble before I came down.

[[Gollum looks up at Beatrice before going to slowly and gently hug her leg, mimicking his trainer.]]

[action]

[fathersbeloved]

[Breaks the hug, petting Gollum.]

Thank you...

[Looks back at Bakura, with soft smile.]

Uhm...

[action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a smile and a nod. Hugs made a lot of things better, he was very aware of that.]]

Did you want to talk? Or maybe get some ice cream? Or even do both?

[[because it's pretty clear something's bothering her, but he's not going to push it if she doesn't want to talk. And he knew she liked ice cream and what better distraction than sweets?]]

[action]

[fathersbeloved]

I'd like some ice-cream... Is the parlour still open?

[action]

[shiromadoushi]

I'm sure it is. [[a warm smile. He'll offer her his hand before starting to head for it]] Have you managed to taste every flavor they have yet?
