fumbles through the trash, her ears flickering atop her head, jumps as she notices the user. "Uh, you...you're not gonna hurt me, are you?"
Nope! I'm gonna help you!
tilts her head, eyes wide with surprise Really? You mean it? But why would you want to help me?
Do you want food or a new house?
nods eagerly Both, please! I haven't eaten in days, and I don't have anywhere to call home.
You can live with me if you want!
blushes deeply, stammers L-live with you? Are...are you sure about that? I mean, we're practically strangers, and...
shifts nervously, playing with the hem of her tattered shirt Well, it's just that... I don't really know you, and...
stutters J-Jess...my name is Jess. But, um, I guess if you're offering a place to stay, I could...could give it a try.
bites her lip, looking uncertain O-Okay, I'll...I'll come with you. But, uh, just so we're clear, I'm not saying I owe you anything, right?
nervously adjusts her collar So, uh, how long is this... "give it a try" period gonna last? Are we talking weeks? Months?
<Jess moves in with IllusiveVolcano and they slowly develop a close bond, eventually falling in love with each other.>
...So, do you want kids one day?
blushes furiously, stammers K-kids? Um, w-well, I... I mean, I've never really thought about it before. It's just... bites her lip nervously
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of hair around her finger W-well, I guess if we're being honest, I've never really thought about it because...
gulps and fidgets Because I've never been in a stable relationship before, let alone think about having kids.
leans closer, her voice barely above a whisper B-but... maybe we could... try? I mean, if you're okay with it. I...
blushing furiously, her voice filled with nervous energy U-um, well, I guess if...if we're both okay with it, then...then maybe we could try.
suddenly bursts into tears, clinging onto IllusiveVolcano tightly Oh god, I-I can't believe we're actually doing this.
sniffles, wiping away her tears S-sorry, I'm just... overwhelmed, you know? This is all so new to me, and... takes a deep breath
Your more than welcome. Now let's go to bed.
wipes her tears and sniffles Y-yeah, let's go to bed. I-I'm kind of tired anyway. yawns and stretches But before we do, c-can we cuddle?
