[Her touch gently moves from his head to his shoulders, trailing the tips of her fingers along the muscles of his neck in slow affectionate movements. Enis doesn't want to startle him and makes sure that he knows he can pull away from her if he wants too.
She leans against the pillow and wall behind her and relaxes despite the fact that her laptop is digging into her knee. It doesn't hurt yet and the headphone cable doesn't reach far enough for her to set it on her nightstand.]
I don't know what I felt. [Enis has never been good with emotions of any kind.] But it's good to get it out.
You should find a way to do that too.
[Even if that means crying to her.
She pauses briefly, looking down at him as her fingers run through his hair.] You seemed happier as a dog. [She wonders if something happened with Dodger but doesn't ask. She knows Dodger well enough to guess that he's an ass to Jason, more so after he made it sound like Jason was not his friend.]
Will you be alright?
[Spoken like a truly awkward person who has never comforted anyone in their life.]
[The touches were weird and made him a bit nervous but he doesn't struggle away from them. The headphones are awkwardly on his head but he doesn't really have the energy to do anything about it, he's starting to feel bad just showing up here and moping around like this, he just didn't want to be alone. There's to many new things going on and he doesn't know how to cope with it.]
How would I do somethin like that?
[He doesn't have good coping methods, usually, drugs or he just ignores it till it goes away. he doesn't have anything he's familiar with besides Dodger and he's the main issue right now. ]
I wasn't... I guess.
[He's silent for a moment it looks like he could cry.]
I dunno. Probably... I just dunno what I did wrong.
[He's someone who's never really been comforted till recently and it's kinda messing with him.]

Find something you like and learn.
[She has no idea what he wants from her but if it's a hobby.] I can teach you about this. [He's already heard one of her songs.] Get you set up to do it yourself too. [Enis pauses in her ministrations to gently take the headphones from his head and put both them and her laptop onto the nightstand.]
Sometimes things are clearer when you stop focusing on them.
[Enis lightly taps his forehead.]
Close your eyes and I want you to describe a beautiful place to me. Somewhere you enjoy. Don't focus on what you did or didn't do. Just tell me about this place.
Date/Time: 7/25/19 01:26 am (UTC)Posted by:snowjoke
[He doesn't really know if he could do anything like Enis creates, he doesn't have the focus for it.]
It's hard not to focus on them... It's just so out of the ordinary.
[He scrunches his nose as she pokes him looking up at her for a moment before closing his eyes.]
Sounds dumb but alright... [He's quiet for a moment just thinking.] I think... like a nice place full of plants, it's just full of comfy stuff to sit on and sleep and junk... I've never been to a place like that though. [He's always been in a city, as a child he wasn't allowed near the garden. ]
It's nice and cozy and I can look at plants, come and go as I please... just a nice place that I can settle my head when it's all fucked up and jumbled.
Date/Time: 7/25/19 01:35 am (UTC)Posted by:blindpuppet
[Enis settles in next to him and continues the gentle strokes of her hand. She brushes his curls away from his eyes and closes her eyes to listen. It is stupid but this is something that Enis does when she misses dreaming.
Another thing her father had stolen from her that she misses.]
What colors and sizes are the pillows?
[It doesn't have to be a place he's been before. They can create it together.]
Date/Time: 7/25/19 01:41 am (UTC)Posted by:snowjoke
[He lets out a very small sigh as he thinks about it.]
It's in alot of blankets and stuff, there are big and small pillows good for holding onto tightly and just burying in... I think their alot of colors but nothing to bright and stuff, the blankets are soft and you can just curl up in them and they smell nice and soft. Feels safe.
[He's relaxing quite a bit, almost dozing off as he talks and distracts himself from everything that's tugging on his mind.]
Date/Time: 7/25/19 02:31 am (UTC)Posted by:snowjoke
[He hasn't really slept the last few nights, he takes a deep breath thinking of what the plants look like, Enis had a calming presence to her as well as the gentle touches.]
They have a lot of leaves... some of them have flowers. Their big and there's a lot.
[He doesn't know plants at all not really having the time to look into them, but he loves all of them, tropical ones with big leaves tend to be his favorite. His words getting slower as he relaxes against Enis's side.]
Sorry, I'm being a sad sack of shit.
[He wanted to have a good time getting to know Enis but he's feeling really guilty.]
[Enis begins making a list in her head of everything that Jason's describing. It's a very easy list to make real. It will likely happen in stages and will involve sneaking into his room but there is time for all the semantics later. Right now she just wants to learn what he might like.
Not because she cares... nope... absolutely not that. It's just so that he can sleep and bother her less... yeah... that's it.]
It's only annoying when you apologize.
[She doesn't mind him being sad but if he's going to be sorry about it then he should stop or leave. It makes no sense to be sorry about just existing.] The company is nice. [She's used to being alone, so this is different.]
So stop feeling guilty about being here. I will let you know when I am tired of you.
Date/Time: 7/29/19 12:44 am (UTC)Posted by:blindpuppet
Mmm? Isn't that what I've been doing? [It isn't as if he hasn't been anything except a sad sack.]
And that's because I'm curious about you. Dodger has told me a little but I'd prefer to hear things first hand.
[Enis exhales a soft sigh in response to his question.]
What do you want to know? My name is Enis Edrin. I like making music which no one else knows so you better keep that to yourself. My father is an ass who experimented on me. [The last part had been a shared memory over the network and is now common knowledge so she doesn't mind repeating it.]
Date/Time: 7/29/19 01:10 am (UTC)Posted by:blindpuppet
That you control ice. [Among many unkind things.] I was going to offer to teach you if you wanted it. Dodger would be an absolutely shitty teacher and not just because he controls your opposite.
[It's because Dodger is a jerk.]
Other than that, he mentioned that you worked together.
[Enis continues to lightly toy with Jason's hair while snuggling into bed and getting as comfortable as possible. She hadn't realized it... but maybe she likes snuggling.]
Date/Time: 7/29/19 02:07 am (UTC)Posted by:blindpuppet
You mean sex or something more than that?
[She doesn't stop petting him and her voice remains gentle but she's straight forward and to the point. She can't help it. It's just how she is.]
That's good.
I- knew many people with abilities. I... remember their training programs. Ice magic was very different from others. There are exercises I can teach you. [It isn't a lot but it's something.]
[It sounds like whatever Jason and Dodger have is complicated and honestly... Enis doesn't really want to get in the middle of that. She doesn't do well when emotions are involved.]
I doubt what Dodger has showed you is very helpful.
[Fire and ice are literally opposites and as much as opposites attract, in the end, one will always extinguish the other.]
It'll just be a few things. If you think you know enough. [Enis doesn't like pushing people.] In return, I want more of this. [Not him being sad but cuddles... she likes cuddles. Which Jason better take to his grave or Enis will hunt him down. She's scarier than her size suggests.]
Date/Time: 7/30/19 02:48 am (UTC)Posted by:snowjoke
[Good, he doesn't want to deal with it right now either.]
I think... the main thing he did was help me... figure out how to control it a bit.
[He's honestly kinda proud where it's been going. He looks at her with a smile. Her offer of teaching him something with the payment of cuddles? what more could he ask for?]
I don't know enough... but I know more than Dodger thinks I do.
[He could show her, but he's comfy and kinda nervous about hurting her, he'd gotten stronger and a bit more dangerous but his emotions are a mess right now and if he slips up something could happen.]
Date/Time: 7/31/19 02:15 am (UTC)Posted by:blindpuppet
[Her fingers continue to gently stroke Jason's hair. It isn't much but she hopes that it offers him some amount of comfort. At the very least, he hasn't started crying again.
She's fairly sure that's a good sign.]
He doesn't think you know much but that's just as well. I don't think you should tell Dodger everything. [Not right away. It's always better to have an ace of your own when handling Dodger and Enis doesn't want to see Jason get hurt. He is like a child in so many ways and it makes her way to protect him or teach him how to protect himself.]
Next time. [Enis offers.] There is no rush.
To be a skilled fighter, you need to be detached when fighting. Emotions can control you and yes, emotions are strong but only to a point. It is weaker in the long run. There are better ways to fight.
[Which is also why Enis avoids them at all costs.]
Date/Time: 7/31/19 06:58 am (UTC)Posted by:snowjoke
[He was calm at her touch, but the tears have been close to bursting this entire time. He can't help but agree with her at least, he doesn't have much but at least he can be surprising.]
I... don't tell him everything.
[He tells him almost everything but sometimes it's irrelevant and just him rambling.]
Okay, I sometimes get detached when fighting, I've hurt people I didn't even realize I did it.
[He moves a bit and as he looks at his fingers, visible chunks of ice growing on them. He's gotten a bit colder in Enis's lap as well.]
Mines mostly on focas... but when I get to many emotions it can get a bit dicy, it really fucks me up.
I've done that too. I never remember when I hurt someone.
[There is a deep note of sadness in her voice that she quickly disregards.]
What does it do?
[Jason might notice that Enis isn't reacting to the cold. Her skin is still warm despite where he's been touching, as if her body is making up the difference in temperatures to keep her healthy.]
No. It will if you keep dropping the temperature but my body will automatically make up for it and keep my internal temperature steady.
[She glances down at him and offers a wistful smile.]
You two aren't the only one with oddities.
[Only that Enis had been born completely human. This is just another result of her fathers work.] So don't worry about me. Within reason. I will be fine. And I will know if it becomes dangerous. [She'll feel it.]

[he just cuddles into her a bit more, this was one weird lady...]
Only guilty cuz I just met you... wanna be like that...

He really enjoyed her playing with his hair and he would be back for more as he lets out a small hum.]
We do... more than work together. [He lets out a small, defeated laugh to it.]
we Did do more then that...
[He doesn't know where he stands with the man at the moment taking a deep breath.]
I've gotten pretty good with my ice actually. I can make it pretty sharp to.
[Jason's grown since Dodger last saw him, so his information needed to be updated.]
no subject
[She doesn't stop petting him and her voice remains gentle but she's straight forward and to the point. She can't help it. It's just how she is.]
That's good.

Only if you want.
[The price might be cuddles...]
no subject
[He lets out a small sigh shaking his head at the subject. He wants to move on.]
That sounds cool I'm down... I've only ever done what Dodger showed me and what I can figure out on my own... I've gotten pretty good at it I think.
[A price he's willing to pay, even if she doesn't teach him anything cool.]

Sometimes I can't control it and I end up hurting myself with it.
[He looks at her he's a bit surprised she still felt warm under him, only Dodger's ever been warm when he gets to cold. ]
Does it not bother you?[The rooms dropped a few degrees without him intending to.]

He just stares at her blankly. The smile was nice but he's trying to wrap his mind around her explanation, he doesn't understand, he was simple man.]
So... cool it just... makes you warm, when... your cold.
[Oh lord he is trying.]
How long does it take to make it dangerous?
no subject
[It'd take a sudden flash of temperature and a lot of specifics but she doesn't want to concern him with the details.]
We can test it if you want.
Get a thermometer or something and try and kill me.
[She's totally cool with this plan.]
