three ♓ video;

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi looks...tired. That's all you can really say about her, when she lets the video come on. She looks like she hasn't slept much, and she looks like she's gone somewhere to cry for a few minutes before calming down enough to speak.]

H-hi, everyone. I hope everyone's all right?

I - mm. I was going to ask whether or not anyone else's roommates weren't waking up, but...

Please be all right, Sayaka.

...what do you do when this place finally gets to you? I've been trying not to - to let it, but...I think I just really need some friends right now. I was up by the aquarium earlier and I think I'm gonna go back up there.

[She wipes at her eyes, and she thinks she's cut the feed, but:]

...it's never easy, this whole 'actually needing to step up and make decisions' princess stuff...

I...um...

[Deep breaths, Feferi. You can do this.]

Yeah. I do. I really do.

[whatpenguin]

... You really do.

[His face goes even redder - though, after a minute, he does get a doofy looking smile on his face.

... Though, all he can really think to do is pull her into a big ol' hug.
Sorry, he's not very good with words!]

[cullscuttlefish]

I really, really do.

[She blushes even harder, and her ear fins go the color of her face. The moment she's about to ask, she's being pulled into another one of those giant hugs, and she thinks that might be an answer, but she still needs to ask.]

...does that mean you like me? Like that?

[whatpenguin]

... I-I do. Yes, I...
I really, really do, Feferi.

[He's trying to be articulate, but it's hard when he just wants to be a goofy kid and smile and blush and cover her in hugs -]

[cullscuttlefish]

I really, really do, too.

[She squeals happily and hugs him, all smiles and giggles and pink cheeks. What is restraint. It is not a thing she knows, okay.]

[whatpenguin]

[He'll be lifting her up then too, his own face pink, but he's frankly too happy not to care. She's so darling - and so sweet, too!]

I'm... I'm really glad!

[... What else is he supposed to say? His mind's not really cooperating right now, whoops.]
