Hello, my friends, both new and old. I wish to ask if there is anyone who is associated with the Sun who would be willing to join in to summon Lady Beiwe - enough to speak with her, as we once did our Lady Ourania. I am not familiar enough with Sun-based magic as I am with Moon-based, and catalyst of those more inclined towards her or similar magic to act as cornerstones will work better toward stabilizing the connection.

Of course, even though not Sun associated are welcome to join! The more hands, the more bodies the summoning has to anchor too! I would like to do it ere the weather turns further and the sun weakens in the sky, and preferably do it when the Sun is highest, around noon-time.

Please let me know your interest!

[Anger gives way to confusion as Siffrin fully takes in the scene and the sheep man explains himself. It's not really much of an explanation. They can practically hear the quotation marks around that "eat", but that doesn't mean they actually understand it.

Still, it tones the fury down to wariness, their brows knitting together uncertainly.

Loop is still crying, regardless.

With a manner all too similar to a skittish animal, Siffrin carefully moves across the roof, giving Vanilla a wide berth as they circle around to Loop's other side. There's still a suspicious look aimed at the fluffy man they're clinging to, but Siffrin at least lowers the knife as he crouches down beside his star, gingerly nudging them.]

Are you okay?

[It gives them time to collect themselves, setting aside their feelings less roughly than they normally would. They'll be embarrassed about this later, sure, but right now they feel so much lighter. Who knew crying and a hug could do this much?

They sigh, pulling away again to look at Siffrin fondly. He's been putting up a front again lately, but they can tell, they can always tell. He could use some more attention, too.

Loop rubs the tears from their eye, composed enough to finally give a proper answer to the question. Instead they reach for his shoulder, gently tugging him into their side.]

Get over here, stardust. [they remembered how to hug, they've gone mad with power and they're not afraid to use it. put the knife down and get hugged idiot]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Being skittered around like he's a wild animal makes him chuckle gently, and when Loop pulls away, Pure Vanilla will scoot himself back a bit to give the two some space and room. And he smiles as Loop pulls Siffrin into a hug, reaching into the basket to pull out a little sealed contained of fresh pressed strawberry juice.

This one is a little more complicated because he doesn't want to turn even the glass, so he'll fiddle with it until the red juice on the inside turns into the similar sort of hazy Loop-color as the apple, but leaves the glass.

And now he really needs to sleep but he'll pretend he doesn't to set the jar down within reach of Loop if they desire it. ]

I'm afraid, when I came to cheer Loop up and make a comfortable place outside for them if they desired to sleep out doors, that I also brought food. Unaware they could not eat it. It upset them greatly, and after I realized why, I... hm, it is quite hard to explain what I did, but I allowed them to absorb an apple and it should have given them the sensation as if they ate one. From taste, to texture, to even the sensation of their stomach with the weight of it. The satiation should last for a bit, but the sensation itself was merely an invocation of memory, so it fades. I apologize, my friend, I will see what I can do later to make the spell last a little longer.

[Yeah, still not the reaction he was expecting. Siffrin's giving Vanilla a confused look, just trying to process that explanation, and then suddenly Loop is tugging him in for a hug.

Touch is still weird, most of the time. It's like his body just doesn't know what to do in response, and even after all his (admittedly pretty pathetic) self-imposed touch therapy, he still find himself stiffening or flinching automatically. But Loop doesn't trigger those same instincts. Maybe it's because it's basically just touching himself? In a Not Weird way. So once the initial surprise has faded, it's easier to relax into it. Siffrin huffs a breath, half uncertain and half just reluctant to fully embrace the PDA right in front of a virtual stranger, but he tucks his knife away and wraps his arms around Loop in return. Also tugs them a little closer and thus further away from said stranger, but it's mostly for the sake of hugging.

He still doesn't know what to say. It kinda feels like he interrupted a Moment, and given Loop's current state he feels a little bad about that. So Siffrin just nods, a bit absently and maybe a little embarrassed.]

[theuniverseleads]

[They're still shaking a little... needless to say, the past few minutes have been an emotional roller coaster for Loop. They're going to be embarrassed about all of this later, yeah, but it's less embarrassing if Siffrin is also embarrassed. It's like that, and... because they feel happy? And warm? And they want to give some of that warmth to him, too? It makes sense in their head. Don't question it.

They breathe in, and out, collecting themselves once more. Okay... they're fine now. They can speak normally. They ease off on the hugging, but keep the proximity. They are going to bump knees with Siffrin for the rest of this thread if they can help it.

... what to even say, though? They look down at the hands in their lap, cupped open and holding only an unseen memory.]

You didn't have to do all of that for me... but, thank you. [They couldn't even begin to explain how much this means to them. Even something small and temporary... it's more than they ever could've dreamed of. It's been so long.

...]

Sorry if I worried you, stardust. I'm fine now, I was just... [overwhelmed? spiralling? hangry?] It was a lot. At once.

[they are, pointedly, not going to take the bonus drink just yet. it can stay there for awhile.]

[purevanillacookie]

It was my honor, my friend. And I do apologize again for causing you pain in the first place.

[ Just because he 'fixed it' doesn't mean he can excuse away the fact he caused it. He keeps a respectful distance away from the two, giving them their space so he doesn't intrude on their interlude, and begins to move blankets and pillows closer to them.

With Peepaw intent. ]

If you wish to be alone, I shall take my leave, and leave behind the food for Siffrin! I hope the items I have brought can help you make a little more comfortable a spot outside for yourself.

[ Teeny tail wiggle. ]
