Private to Mithos

[telecosmetic]

[Well, lots of people had bad reactions to that motive, but Mithos disappearing is definitely worrying. After she makes sure Minato is as comfortable as possible, she heads towards his room, reaching out to knock on the door.]

Hey, Mithos...are you alright?

Comments

[ There's a bit of shuffling that can be heard on the other side of the door first. Mithos thought about just calling out and saying he's fine but... no one is likely going to belive that, are they.

But he doesn't want to worry them more than people... seem to be worrying for some reason. ]

... Why do you ask?

[ He... Might be stalling. Or maybe he's actually wondering why she's asking. But he doesn't open the door quite yet. ]

[telecosmetic]

Well...I know a lot of people were upset by that new motive-[She was one of them after all]-but you're one of the only ones who left, plus you were so quiet...

[eternaldivide]

[ theres a small silence before he speaks again ]

I didn't... have much to say. That wasn't something someone else had likely said.

[ though he doesn't know what since he left as quickly as possible... ]

[telecosmetic]

Well...I was still a little worried when you left so fast. Minato already looks really sick, and I hope you aren't also sick...

[eternaldivide]

[ There's silence for a moment before a click of a lock. Mithos then opens the door. He had thought about just saying he's fine once again. But showing he's not sick is likely the better idea.

Even if ... while he doesn't look sick he still looks miserable. ]

I'm not sick. But if Minato looks sick maybe you ought to go check on him again. He didn't seem well last week, either.

[ In fact he was likely sick last week from what Mithos could tell. ]

[telecosmetic]

[That's a bit of a relief, but she's still kind of worried.] Ris is looking after him right now...is...is there someone you're particularly worried about going to that place?

[eternaldivide]

That's... good...

[ After that there's.... a long silence. He does care about the two who are in his video but... ]

... No. There's ... not.

[ And although he says it evenly enough his fists are clenched tightly as he says it. ]

[telecosmetic]

[Well, Eliza notices his clenched fists, but that's not enough for her to really put together what he's upset about.]

Oh...okay...you look really tense, still. Is...is there anything I can do to help?

[eternaldivide]

I'm...

[ He pauses for a moment moving one hand to hold the other arm. ]

I'm not sure if there's anything anyone can do.

[telecosmetic]

[Oh man...]

Do...do you want a hug?

[eternaldivide]

[ Mithos is quiet for a moment before a slight nod. Part of him wants to just bottle it up and say he's fine but ... he can't. Not with what's hurting him so much. ]

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza reaches out and pulls him into a hug. A proper two-armed one, this time. She opens her mouth as she tries to think of something to say, but settles for just tightening the hug instead.]

[eternaldivide]

[ Mithos hugs back this time, though only lightly compared to the tight hugs she's giving him. Instead he opts to use her shoulder a little to cry a few tears, as it's hard to hold back all of them when someone is giving you a hug, he's realized. ]

[telecosmetic]

[Yeah, she notices those tears, at least. She rubs his back gently as he cries, nonverbally encouraging him to let them out. She wishes she could say that it'll be alright, but she knows that would be a lie.]

[eternaldivide]

[ Although he didn't wish to cry so much as Eliza rubs his back he finds himself letting it out more. Eventually though he quiets down a bit again as the tight grip he has loosens enough to pull away slightly. ]

... Thank you.

[telecosmetic]

It's no problem. I care about you a lot, after all. [They've fought a Witch together. That's a bonding experience, in her opinion.] And I want to make sure you're okay.
