One smooch onto Punk'Anne's cheek from a certain Charmeleon. "Love you, P."
Punk'Anne appreciates the smooch, moving to cuddle up with Ashlin properly. "Thanks, A. And do you mind hanging around for a bit? I think my mom is out there making out with someone. It sounds so, so gross..."
Erin, examine Jay. Maybe Cinder and Ashlin too, if you want.
Jay. What a guy. You really love him like you would any other, but there's something special there. Words don't do it justice, but since he allows you to link up with him deeply, it goes beyond words. Beyond thoughts, even.
Cinder is such a cutie and a sweetheart. You really wish you could see her around more, but even you know that sometimes life just finds a way to get in the way! You should definitely give her some extra special attention next time she's over and you're available.
Ashlin is another sweetheart that you love, but she always seems to find her way into being a part time babysitter for the kiddos. You're super glad she likes to play with them all and take some responsibility this way too. You always make sure to slip her a nice baked good on her way out before she leaves.
I've decided that my absolute favorite character trait of all time is "Will pretend they're fine until they literally can't pretend anymore. And even then it usually takes someone confronting them about it to get them to admit anything is wrong." Like, the kind of character who will say "I'm fine" while literally bleeding out. Or who will claim they're well-rested while swaying on their feet with exhaustion with bags like bruises under they're eyes. Or who will insist that they're totally not traumatized by something but are clearly showing signs of PTSD. Idk, I just love stubborn little shitheads (affectionate) who desperately need someone to walk up to them and say "YOU'RE NOT OKAY. PLEASE, LET ME HELP YOU." Or sometimes: "I AM GOING TO HELP YOU WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT."
Kats raised an eyebrow at his wife, "what exactly happened" he looked at Ashlin confused. Reign meanwhile stayed by Jay "is she going to be ok?"
Ashlin was smiling to herself in the mirror. Her hair now was black towards the ends. A nice ombre effect mixed the two colours. She looked at Kats "I impulsively dyed my hair and will soon be impulsively getting a tattoo and piercings"
Jay nodded at Reign "Yeah she is just having a moment, it happens sometimes. I'm really good at dying hair now, this has happened like five to ten times before, most of it during our school days"
Ashlin casually plops down beside her girlfriend, kissing her on the cheek. "Doing okay, babe?"
“Heh, hey Ash~.” She smiles and snuggles right up with her. “Doing alright. It’s winter, so it’s really quiet. I’m left in charge while my Mom hibernates, so yeeeah....”
