[ ...she might know what Mabel is talking about.

Mostly because she knows that there was another Yuzu here in Ryslig before, and then she just vanished one day, and then a few years later... this Yuzu showed up. ]

Oh, Mabel...

Who... I mean, what happened?

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

My brother's gone. I don't really know how to feel about it.

[Because as much as she wanted to have him around, it was probably for the better that he left. However, that didn't stop her from feeling a little lonely right now.]

< SongDiva >

[songstressedout]

Oh, Mabel...

...hold on, I'm coming over.

I might look a little different but...

[ Yuzu wastes no time in leaving Hill House and taking to the skies. She's on her way. ]

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

But? What do you mean?

[Of course, Mabel wasn’t really expecting a response. As she waited for her to say something, she rushed over to the door waiting for her friend.]

Action

[songstressedout]

[ It doesn't take long. Yuzu's much better at flying now, and harpies can fly fast. The sound of the wind picking up can be heard as Yuzu flaps her wings, landing just at the door before knocking. ]

Mabel, it's me...

[ Here's Yuzu... as a harpy. ]

Action

[meowbel]

[Just as Mabel felt a gust of wind by the door, she let out a loud gasp as she saw who it was.]

Whoa, Yuzu, what happened to you? When did you get all bird and feathery like anyway?

[She said as she approached closer before attempting to narrow her eyes. As she looked at her friend's new form, she gave a small hum.]

[songstressedout]

[ She smiles nervously, coming closer as well. ]

Just recently... being a Shade was terrible, but at least now...

[ She spreads her arms (and wings by extension) in an open manner.

She can hug without needing to focus so much on just staying solid. ]

[meowbel]

[Mabel didn't argue against the hug. In fact, she welcomed it as walked closer to embrace the older girl. She didn't say anything for a moment before giving a small sigh.]

You ever get that weird complicated feeling where you're both happy and sad? I think I'm just sadpy right now.

[She mumbled before a small frown appeared. There were a lot of complicated feelings and she didn't know how to feel at the moment. She just wanted a hug and have someone tell her things were going to be okay.]

[songstressedout]

[ She holds her tight, which is nice with all of the soft feathers. God, she knows just what that complicated feeling is like... especially with everything that's happened here in Ryslig. ]

Yeah... I do, but...

[ She sort of... puts a hand on the back of Mabel's head and continues to hug her. ]

Things are going to be okay...

[ Still, the thought of people just... vanishing unnerves her. Especially since it's apparently happened to her in the past... and instead of coming back, a new 'Yuzu' just appeared.

Right now, though, she just wants Mabel to know that she's here. ]

[meowbel]

[Mabel didn't say anything at first as she kept looking at the ground. She knew that things were okay because it just had to. She didn't have much of a choice as it was her only way to deal with it all.]

I hope so because I had enough.

[She said with a sigh.]

There's only so much I can do when everything around me seems like total poo poo! Nothing seems like it's going right and I don't even know how I'm suppose to handle it all!

[She really didn't want to think so negatively but right now, she will allow herself to do this. Just this once.]

[songstressedout]

I know...

[ She squeezes a little tighter. This kind of feeling... she understands it, having been in this kind of situation more times than Yuzu would have liked.

She'll stay like this as long as Mabel wants. ]

[meowbel]

[Mabel didn't know what to say. As she gave a sigh, she just found herself at a loss of words. Mumbling to herself, she looked down at the ground and wondered what else she could do.

There was so much negativity, how can she handle it?]

Sorry, I didn't mean to be all gross and ugly like that. It's just not a very nice feeling and I'm really not use to it.

[songstressedout]

Don't worry, it's fine...

[ Always... it'll always be fine. Still, she's hugged for a while now... maybe there's something else she can do to maybe make her feel a little better? ]

...Hey, I've only recently become a Harpy, so... a lot of my wardrobe needs to get sorted out, y'know? Do you maybe wanna...

[ Help her out, maybe? Honestly, anything would be fine... maybe even some more help learning how to knit. She still has the sweater Mabel gave her for Christmas, but now that she's a Harpy... to be honest, long sleeves kind of get in the way of her wings. Not that she minds, though! She still treasures it...

I-In any case... shopping trip? ]
