"Anri, I know that isn't true, I can hear it in your voice. What's wrong?"
*Sketch gives her a concerned look, wondering why she doesn't want to tell him why she's unhappy.*

[i]"Sketch, it's nothing. Just...it's fine. It's got nothing to do with Hollowing, so you shouldn't be worried about it."[/i] [b]Anri sounded much different now, almost as if she was pleading Sketch to simply leave her alone. It was...odd, to say the least.[/b]

Edited by Skatch142: 11/13/2016 10:31:48 PM*His ears fold back as he gives her a confused look, wondering why she doesn't seem to want to talk.* "Anri, I want to help with more than just the hollowing. If you want me to leave, just tell me. But if not, then wether you think I can help or not, tell me what's wrong."
-
[u]"...It's about Vio."[/u] [i]Anri sobbed a little after speaking, her face turning a dreadful white after revealing to Sketch what the problem was. She would have preferred to keep it a secret...but Anri realized that nothing would have changed if she did not.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Was there any in-rp explanation to Vio leaving?[/spoiler] "Oh Anri, I'm sorry..." *He pats her on the back, looking back at the TV which was now turned off.* "Were you watching... A video with her?"
-
[spoiler]No, not really.[/spoiler] [u]"...Y-Yeah. It was when...when we met. W-What do I do, Sketch? I-I'll probably never see her again, and...and I can't just recover from this. The one time I see her, in thirteen years...and she's gone..."[/u]
-
*Sketch wraps his arms around her in a hug.* "Anri... You can't keep watching videos with her and thinking about her... A few months after coming here I somehow got a photo of my parents. My heart nearly stopped when I saw it. I had lost my entire universe and there were two of the most important people in all of it staring me right in the face. I know it's hard, the only way I keep myself from thinking about it is by focusing on the issues here and what makes me happy... But I know there's someone else for you out there and it's just a matter of time."
-
[i]Anri didn't respond just yet, for she was simply staring at the blank television screen with a look of utmost depression. Hundreds of thoughts and questions spiraled through her mind, while most were about Vio.[/i] [i]Finally, she answered Sketch.[/i] [u]"...O-Okay. Okay..[/u] [u]Look, I'm...I'm sorry. For causing you so much trouble. For being depressed, for going Hollow...I know we're friends...hell, we're best friends. But I feel as though I'm just selfish. Always needing help in the worst of times..[/u] [u]...I'll think about it. Thanks again, Sketch. For...for caring."[/u]
-
"Anri, going hollow isn't your fault, Yuria forced you to. And I'm always happy to help you, Anri." *He says, eventually pulling away from the hug. Just then, Luka wanders up in his dragon form, wagging his tail happily.* *Luka "Who is this daddy?"
-
[i]Anri only nodded towards Sketch in response, before turning to face Luka, a friendly smile upon her angular, tanned face.[/i] [u]"Hey. I'm Anri, of the nation of Astora. I guess you could call me one of your dad's friends. Y'know, you've got a good dad, probably one of the best."[/u]
-
*Luka "You are Anri? You look okay!" "That's because... Someone... Gave her something that makes her better for a while." *Luka "That's good! It's nice to meet you!"
-
[u]"It's good to meet you too, Luka."[/u] [i]Anri then turned towards Sketch, a faint smile upon her somewhat aged face. She sighed a little, before then speaking.[/i] [u]"Y'know, it the was combined effort of Yuria and a girl named Clover that made me...well, normal?"[/u]
-
"What do you mean, Anri? Didn't you use the effigy?" *He looks confused and a little suspicious.*
-
[u]"Yeah. Just Clover used a serum that would supposedly perma-cure me, too. To see if I could be good for...for forever."[/u]
-
"Well... Do you know if it is working?" *He asks, looking more suspicious of a serum said to cure her hollowing.*
-
[u]"I mean...I'm not Hollow. Plus, if we really want to see if it worked, I could just kill myself and...hope for the best.[/u] [u]Actually, that's an awful idea. Not doing that."[/u]
-
"Well, let's hope it works." *Luka "What's going on?" *Asks Luka, looking up at her.* [spoiler]Just making sure, she will actually turn hollow again if she dies, right?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]There's a 50/50 chance. Based off the flip of a coin. If she ain't Hollow, serum worked, but that's the last fine it will.[/spoiler] [u]"Luka...it's very complicated.[/u] [u]I'm...I'm not exactly normal, at all. If I die, I'll go...Hollow. Hollowing is bad. Very bad."[/u]
-
*Luka "And that's when you become a skeleton?" "No Luka, skeletal. She just becomes... Very, very thin..." *Luka "Oh, okay. Can I hop on your lap?"
-
[u]"Not really skeletal...Well, thin. And...other things.[/u] [u]Sure. You can hop on my lap."[/u] [i]The knightess chuckled slightly as she looked back up at Sketch, only smirking as she prepared for Luka to hop on.[/i] [u]"So how's Leyla? That's who you married, right? Sorry, my memory's just...fuzzy."[/u]
-
Edited by Skatch142: 11/16/2016 11:57:49 AM*Luka hops onto her lap, curling up like a partly scaly kitten.* "Yep, I'm married to Leyla. And she's doing alright. Obviously we've had kids..."
-
[u]"Good to hear, good to hear. Saw that Olivia was here earlier. Then again, she's...sorta gone off the map. There's also some depressed blind mage, think her name is...Mary? Maria? Marci? It's something like that. We've become friends. I help her get around, due to her, ah...condition. You wanna go see her in a bit?"[/u]
-
"Sure... I think I know her sister... And Orn has gone off the map as well as Smough. I wish I could see them again but... I don't think I will. Orn proved that he didn't care about me..." *His ears droop down at the thought of Orn, one of his best friends in the Dojo.*
-
[u]"Hey...it'll be alright. Orn was stressed out about...something. Then, well...he sorta vanished.. He'll come back. I hope...[/u] [u]...Now. I guess we should get going. Luka, mind hoping off?"[/u]
-
*Luka had fallen asleep and is purring. His wing is curled over him like a blanket.* "Heh, he always likes sleeping on people's laps..." *He takes Luka off of Anri's lap, waking him up. He turns into his Sphirnian form and snuggles up in Sketch's arms.* "Alright, let's go see her."
-
[u]"Alright.."[/u] [i]Anri rose up, beginning to head to her apartment complex.[/i] [i]Timeskip![/i] [u]"And...we're here."[/u] [i]The three stood outside of a wooden door leading into an apartment room, while Anri simply knocked upon it.[/i] [u]"Tak! I'm home!"[/u] [i]A pair of booming footsteps could be heard from inside as a seven foot tall Japanese man opened the door, his short dark hair messy and tangled. He seemed to have been living with both Anri and Marcia.[/i] [i]Takahashi:[/i] [u]"Oh. Good afternoon, Anri." [/u] [i]The samurai bowed deeply.[/i] [u]"And good afternoon to...who are these two again?"[/u] [i]Anri:[/i] [u]"Friends. Sketch and Luka. Marcia's in there, right?"[/u] [i]Takahashi:[/i] [u]"Mm. Yes, she's "watching" some sort of...sport."[/u]
