1x1 rpw roleplay ;; castor and mani

[wolf ;;]

Mani blinked her eyes and watched him closely. "Are you alright?" She asked - he didn't seem it.

[XD]

[hypnowave]

"How could I be all right?" Castor muttered. He wasn't angry. He wasn't mad. He was just... frustrated by current events. He didn't know what to make of anything and everything.

[wolf ;;]

Mani blinked her eyes and remained silent. She wasn't sure what else to say, she wasn't even sure what he meant.

[hypnowave]

"Just..." Castor tried desperately to hold his anger, but it was like a broken dam trying to hold a flooding tide. "Everything."

[wolf ;;]

Mani's ears went back a bit, and she thought about it before speaking. "I'm sorry for dragging you into some of my problems." She said, not sure what else to say.

[hypnowave]

Castor went silent for a couple moments. "It... it is not you," he murmured. "I-I'm actually grateful... you are the only person I have ever talked to so much in years." He would have said more, but a sob rose up in his throat and he choked up, trying not to cry, which he hadn't done in such a long time. It had been so long since he hadn't broken down, found a shoulder to cry on, hugged someone and poured out all his problems... it had been such a long time...

[ boom! he's crying, do something Mani. ]

[wolf ;;]

Mani was surprised at the sight, of this winged wolf...crying? She was silent, not sure what to do, but she felt...something, at what he said, that he was grateful. She blinked her eyes, then she motioned to the spare space on the boat. "Come sit down." She said, softly. Sometimes, sitting there could calm the nerves - although she didn't know if this would work with him or not.

[Poor Castor quq]

[hypnowave]

Castor bit back a cry and nodded quietly, walking closer towards her and sitting down. He wasn't going to cry... or was he? He felt his eyes well with tears, and his eyesight got blurry. He thought for a moment. Gosh, he probably hadn't cried like this since he'd lost Seven. All that had built up since then, it was breaking down now. The dam had flooded, and now, here he was, next to Mani. Feeling helpless.

[wolf ;;]

Mani looked at him, silent for a moment before speaking. "You shouldn't let it all bottle up, you know." She said softly. "It makes it much worse when if finally all releases..." She added, flicking an ear.

[hypnowave]

Castor nodded, and the tears began to fall. "I k-know," he said, his voice much smaller than last time, "Except there is no one to, to talk to." And it was true. Of course he'd let his feelings bottle up, there was no one to pour it all out to, no one who would want to listen. He couldn't walk to Seven about Seven. He didn't care anymore if the ghost was listening in, it didn't matter anymore. Someone else, someone new, was listening, and he wanted to pour all his feelings out to her.
