[Marisa flopped back down and let out a sigh.]

Well, nothing ever worth having was ever easy.

[ex_seventh238]

[She'll keep watch, her expression... (uncharacteristically?) fond.] But you wouldn't go for it if you didn't believe that the end would make the struggle worth it, would you?

[adropofjupiter]

Duh.

[ex_seventh238]

There's a chance that it wouldn't, though. You didn't overlook the possibility, did you? [stop looking so chipper while tossing around grim possibilities, ciel...]

[adropofjupiter]

You know, Mom, lemme tell you something you might not have learned back in ancient civilization. Being fearless doesn't mean not having fear. It means not letting the fear control you.

Except when it comes to the Postman.

[ex_seventh238]

...'Don't let it control you', hm? Haha, that's a good motto. But isn't it contradictory, with that sort of exception? What would you do then, if the Postman is the one person who stands between you and what you want?

[adropofjupiter]

[She opened her mouth to say something, but then grabbed her head with a whimper.]

[ex_seventh238]

[She swallows a small sigh, reaching over to gently rest her hand on Marisa's head instead.]

It's reasonable to seek help when something's too much to face on your own, hm? So like I was saying... I don't know if it'll work. But will you give me your consent, if I can go talk to him in your stead?

[adropofjupiter]

...yeah. Go ahead. [Leaning against Ciel now.]

[ex_seventh238]

I'll be heading out soon, then. If it doesn't work though, you'll have to sit down again with me so we can decide on something else together, okay?

[...

Have a light headrub. She would never get away with this with normal Marisa and Ciel is thoroughly aware of it. ...Might as well take advantage of the situation now that it's here anyway, hm?]

[adropofjupiter]

[Don't think she won't remember this later. Even if she likes headrubs and anything really to do with playing with her hair. It's relaxing.]

Alright, alright...

[ex_seventh238]

[Like you could disagree with her reasoning. Wouldn't you take advantage too, if the tables were turned?]

Mm~ Do you want me to pick up anything, while I'll be out?

[adropofjupiter]

...nothing I could talk you into getting. [like beer]

[ex_seventh238]

You could be a little more creative than that, now. [There's more to life than just booze, not!daughter!!]

[adropofjupiter]

[Not in mayfield. :| ]

Nah. You'd say no anyways. Cause you totally suck, ze.

Aside from, you know, talking to him instead of me. That rocks.

[ex_seventh238]

[hey hey who'd cook for you so consistently on a daily basis outside of mayfield... 8V]

Thanksgiving weekend will be soon, I'll loosen up the rules for you then. [Nope not even making any pretext about being ~strict~. She'd tip about taking it moderately behind her back but all things considered that might be pushing it.] Not even a snack, like some sweets?

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa shakes her head.]

Still feeling sick, Mom.

[ex_seventh238]

I still can't let you skip supper, but we can eat later than usual tonight. Chicken noodle soup?

[adropofjupiter]

You do make good chicken noodle soup.

[ex_seventh238]

Of course. [not even gonna bother putting up a modest facade here.] Alphabet noodles, or spaghetti?

[adropofjupiter]

...alphabet.

[ex_seventh238]

Consider it done. [she shouldn't be getting so many warm fuzzies but dear god it's hard to keep the feelings in check right now. Don't get too mad once things go back to normal, Mari(sa)...!] Are you going to try napping, now?

[adropofjupiter]

[ENJOY THE WARM FUZZIES WHILE YOU CAN, CIEL. Marisa's never had a real mother before. This was the closest she actually got to it. She's not going to be okay with it afterward.]

Yeah. Maybe I'll feel better then. Get the... stuff out of my mind.

[ex_seventh238]

[sorry couldn't hear you over DOING JUAT THAT RIGHT NOW yes. It's ok she'll never have kids even if she wants to so it's.... kind of... relatable...]

Try to clear your mind and take deep, even breaths. I'm sure that it'll pass soon, eventually. [after a beat more of lazying, she'll finally pull herself up to stand next to the bed.] There's more water in the pitcher too, so help yourself if you want.

[that said, she SHOULD get going...]

[adropofjupiter]

Mkay. [pause] Thanks...
