22 Butterflies | Video (Possible Action)

[Sprout's face appears onscreen when the feed comes on, looking a bit confused.]

So uh...anyone else having this problem?

[The camera shifts to show Choco trying to calm down a rather frazzled Fluttershy...or at least one could assume it's Fluttershy. The yellow feathered wings are familiar, sure enough, but despite the human clothes, she clearly was not human at the moment. Her flowing tail, the same color as her hair, flicked anxiously as she paced on four hooves instead of two feet. She seemed to mutter an "Oh no..." with each turn, passing by Choco over and over as he tried to talk to her.]

C'mon, Fluttershy...it's nothing to worry about...

[The camera turns back to Sprout.] ...Little help?

((OOC: Can stay video, or can move to action. Most likely she'll be either in her apartment, or on the hospital roof.))

[Her ears perk up in surprise, and she blushes a little.] Th...Th-Thank you...

You're... you're welcome.

[Folding her wings in again, she clears her throat, glancing away shyly.]

I-I'm...really not that...impressive though...I-I'm..not even that good a flier...Y-You should see Rainbow Dash...Sh-She's more what a pegasus should...be like...

Yeah but... the nice thing about a pegasus' mythological status, at least where I come from, is that there aren't any set rules over "what they're like."

So, you're just as much like what a pegasus oughta be like, to me, as any other one around here.

[She smiled a little, but didn't have anything to say. So she didn't, shyly looking anywhere else but at him.]

[He smiles a moment more before glancing away and sighing. His hands opened and closed and then he stepped forward, stopping again before he reached her.]

Listen... Fluttershy...

[Her ears perked up a little, and she had to keep herself from stepping back when he moved closer, suddenly a little nervous.]

Y...Y-Yes...?

[He hung back, even going so far as to move another half-step, wanting to keep her from getting uncomfortable.]

Y-you know, I've been doing a lot of thinking since... uh. Since Christmas.

Y...Y-Yes...?

[Her heart was racing, and part of her wondered if she even wanted to hear this.]

And the answer is, I... I um.

[He breathes in deeply, then holds it for a moment before exhaling his words.]

I don't know. [He's quick to wave his hands.] Not- not because of you, at all! I just... [His hand returns to anxiously rubbing the back of his neck.] There's a lot I have to figure about regarding other... circumstances.

[A faint throat clearing.] I'd still like to... spend time with you, though. And if s-something happens then... [He looked up and away with the slightest of half-shrugs.] I wouldn't be opposed... at all.

[She takes a shaky breath, her ears folding back as she looked away.]

I...I-I don't know, Chris...I...I want to...believe me I do...but...

Th...Th-That's what we said...before...after Christmas...? That...we were still going to spend time with each other...and...we'd still be friends...

But this is the first time we've seen each other since then, and...

[She closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears that were threatening.] I-I just...don't know what to do..

Edited 2014-01-29 09:39 (UTC)

Yeah, but you gotta look at what's happened since then. It hasn't exactly been normal day-to-day business since Christmas.

[He shrugged.]

Those Digimon attacked, the city vanished, I got hurt...-

You got hurt?

[Sudden worry mode.]

What happened? Are you okay?

[Oh, he did actually say that, huh.]

Well uh. In the attack I got hit with some debris... [He placed a finger against part of his head.] ...and was knocked out for a good while. We stuck around Primary Village until we were sure I was okay, and then we left.

Oh, Chris...

[She steps closer, still clearly concerned.]

But you're all right now...?

Yeah, don't worry. It's gonna take more than that to keep me down for good!

[His eyes flick and then he raised one hand, waving it.]

See? Even my wrist is better, by now.

[She smiled a little.] That's good...I wish I had been there to help, though...

[Then again, she had been dealing with her own problems during that time.]

That's alright. That's about the time you... vanished, wasn't it?

See, that's what I'm talking about. We've both been involved in our own things since then, we haven't had a chance to see each other before now.

I-I guess...but this is the first time we've seen each other since we've both gotten into the city...

[And why did it have to be just now? With this going on?

Why did it have to take something like this for them to meet up again?]

Yeah, but I've been busy. These things happen, it's alright.

At least we... are talking again.

I...I-I guess that's true...

[She glances away, fidgeting a little.] I-I...I guess I was just afraid you...y-you hadn't wanted to see me...

Why would I want to do that?

The difficulties between us aside, you're still my friend...

[She sighed, still a little confused and torn up about the whole thing.] I...I-I don't know...

Hey, c'mon...

[Crossing the rest of the distance between them he stopped a couple of paces ahead of her and leaned down, resting his hands on his thighs so they were eye level. Having her about midsection height now was a little new, but he could take it in stride.]

Things will be okay. I won't let them not be, if nothing else. Alright?

[She hesitated, still a little unable to look at him as tears started filling her eyes again. But she did manage a small nod at least.]

O...O-Okay...
