[ooc: translated - Hello! I'm Feferi! Feferi Peixes. So, as you can probably guess from the confused tone of voice, I just woke up here.

So what is the deal with not being able to move when you wake up? That was glubbing scary! I mean, it takes a lot to scare me like that, but this did it. PLEASE tell me that doesn't happen every time you fall asleep?

I'm curious about this collar, too, but I think I can live with it. Unless it's the reason I woke up all frozen. In which case, I would really like to get it off me.

Oh cod, here I am carping on about otter things when I forgot the most important one! Is there anybody else from Alternia here? I know there's probably not a whole lot of it left, but I really want to be sure everybody is all right.]

[With her in his arms, giggling and giving him that sweet kiss, he can almost forget that she's not really his Feferi. It's hard to remember exactly why it matters.

He holds her almost forever, sniffling into her hair, before finally speaking up in a watery voice.]

You're real swweet. But so...so I guess you're a highblood?

It doesn't matter, shouldn't matter, not now, not ever. The color of a person's blood doesn't make them any better or any worse than anyone else. Never has, no matter what people say.

[She moves a hand down to rub circles over his back.]

Don't let anyone ever tell you different.

[He swallows] I knoww that. I knoww it. There's nothin' fuckin' wwrong wwith me an I'm as good as any ten goldbloods.

[And then he bursts into tears and clings to her, sobbing. She's not his Feferi, but she's good. She's great. She's definitely good enough for him to work with, okay?]

Cod, I lovve you. I missed you so fuckin' much...

You are. Always will be.

[Feferi pulls him closer, stroking his hair and kissing his forehead. She knows he's not her Eridan, but that doesn't matter. She's as pale as it gets for him.]

Ssh, now. Ssh, love. My diamond, my prince. I'm here now. It's all right. You don't need to cry. I've got you, love.

[The sobbing quiets to sniffling, but he doesn't let go. He knows this would probably look pretty embarrassing, two trolls hugging it out like some kind of pale porno in the middle of the hallway, but he doesn't care.]

I...asked the towwer to bring my Fef here. But instead they killed her, and gavve me her corpse all bloody an mangled, an...I wwent serious vviolent blood murder mode, Fef. I needed you so bad, and I think I killed her wwhen I asked them to bring her. Killed her for real, wwith no comin' back.

[If anything, she just hugs tighter. It doesn't matter what it looks like to anyone else, as far as she's concerned.]

I can't even imagine what that was like. And I think anyone would have gone into murder mode, in that situation. I don't blame you, and I don't think anyone who knows what happened would blame you.

I...I can't say what happened outside. I wish I could tell you that she's okay, that she's safe, all of that. What I can say is that I will do everything in my power to get you back home to her. Until that day, you've got me. Promise.

[He nods. Best day ever, it is this day. Or at least, pretty damn close to it. He can't quite believe that Feferi is being this accommodating.

He draws back a little, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand and grimacing at the stains on her shirt]

Wwhat about...your Eridan? The highblood douchebag one. You're moirails wwith him? He's not here, anymore, either.

It's complicated...

[She sighs, looking down and frowning.]

I care a lot about him, am still pale for him, but I don't know if it was ever reciprocated, at least like that. He wanted something bright red from me, but I was always looking after him, calming him down, keeping him from going off the handle. It's hard, that kind of one-sided relationship.

[Seriously? He tried to get to red through pale? That's the most dumbass thing Eridan's ever heard, and he's heard a few doozies]

Wwhat a fuckin' idiot. Wwell, you don't got a wworry about that from me, Fef. I'm as pale as the drivven snoww for you, AN I got myself a matesprit wwith wwhom I share the purest a serendipity.

I honestly don't know what the shell he was thinking. All I know is that he definitely tried cutting through pale to get to red, and it definitely didn't work. All it did was mess things up.

[Feferi just grins, then giggles.]

Willow told me! I cod not be happier for you two. I only just met her, but she's been so sweet to me, and I'm glad to have her as a friend. We're going to meet up soon to grab food and have a gab session. Whale, mostly the latter.

Wwhale, a course it did. That's all somethin' like that wwould do.

[He grins back at her, drawing back with his hands on her shoulders to get a good long look at her. All that finery! Not cockleshells and rough ocean pearls, but real gold and diamonds! It doesn't make her any more or less beautiful to him, though, either way]

Wwill's been the only thing holdin' me together this last perigee, an make no mistake about that. She's the swweetest girl I could evver ask for, exceptin you, a course. I'vve no doubt you'll lovve her no less than I do.

Yeah. It sucked. It was like - I don't even know.

[Feferi's cheeks tint pink. She's used to fancy things, pretty little baubles and such, but they're not the most important things.

And so she slides one of the bangles off her wrist - gold with their signs engraved into it. She smiles and slips it on his wrist.]

So you always have a little of me there, even when I can't be there physically.

I know I will. She's such a sweetie, and it's wonderful to know you're there for each other.

[Eridan opens his mouth to remind Feferi that he has her ring, remember? But of course that's another Feferi's ring, and she doesn't wear his own on her finger.]

I don't havve...a ring for you. But I'll make you one.

[At the mention of that, she looks down at his hands - she hadn't looked that closely before. But now, she is, and she notes the symbols, the stones that are there. It's the pink shell diamond that catches her eye, and she smiles. There's no way she can say no, not when the meaning is so clear.]

I - I'd be absolutely honored.

[He flushes purple at that, and nods] Wwell, you might havve to wwait a little. I'vve got to find a shell a the right colour.
