[Yeah, as soon as he sees Hunter's reaction, he's going to go seek out Brilith. He'll try to catch her leaving the ballroom and lead her off somewhere private for a bit.]
I know you've been through a lot today, but we need to talk.
[Since the connection is still up, she'll be able to feel the urgency behind those words too. Chuuya does not have good news here.]
[ she's struggling right now, between her own sorrow, rage at nie huaisang, jin ling's anger at her, and... hunter. being connected to someone who's lost themselves is... even worse than she could have imagined. the temptation to swing her staff at the first person to speak to her is great, and the only thing holding her back is a very deliberate projection of calm from another of her links. still, she has to take a deep breath before turning to chuuya. ]
[Interestingly, Chuuya feels all of that through their connection, and it actually makes him flinch.
He should probably wait on this. They have time, he can ask her in a day or two, when emotions aren't running so high. It's urgent, but not so urgent that it has to be discussed immediately.
...]
...it's going to be alright. It's- it's really tough now, yeah. But it's gonna be alright.
[Yeah, it can wait. Helping her feel better is more important right now.]
It's this game they have over in the game room. You gotta use little pedals to flip a tiny ball across a table and score a goal, but at the same time you have to keep your own goal safe.
[ oh! her face lights up with interest, and she'll try to do the same thing herself.
she misses, but she looks fascinated nonetheless. it may be a good distraction, after all... that it's a more physical game is probably better for her nerves. ]

Hunter... He and I are linked.

Date: 2020-03-08 03:00 am (UTC)[He can't feel Hunter's stuff, but he can feel how it's making her feel.]
It's not gonna be easy tonight, but maybe I can help? I'm not normally a calm person, but I can try to be.
no subject
Date: 2020-03-08 03:20 am (UTC)45 helps. But the others... they're angry, too. And Hunter, he's... [ she looks a little sick to her stomach. ] ...hungry.

Date: 2020-03-08 03:55 am (UTC)[He is a little ball of redheaded rage, after all.]
And you probably won't be able to sleep much with all of that too. We should go play Foosball or something.

See? This is it.

Date: 2020-03-08 04:51 am (UTC)We move the pedals, you said?
[ she'll just
reach out to spin one then ]
no subject
Date: 2020-03-08 04:57 am (UTC)Chuuya goes to the other side and pulls the ball out, which he puts against one of his little plastic guys.]
Yup. And when you spin it, you can hit the ball.
[And he thwaps the ball across the little area they have there.]

Does it matter which one?

-And I wanna get it in the other one. First person to score three times wins.

Date: 2020-03-13 08:47 pm (UTC)[ after a few more twists of the knobs controlling her team, brilith nods. ]
Let's try it, then.
