( hhhhhey, mizuki, what's good? by which i mean, at some point in the day- maybe late, almost sunset- felicity will hesitantly approach, toying with the edge of her beach coverup. she's not wearing any of her jewelry. or her makeup.
there's a rope-like bruise around her neck. )
Um- hey. Could... I talk to you about something...?
... [ Hey??? Hey?????? He hates that, thank you. He can't help but itch wildly at his own neck - rather, on his originium monitor collar - on seeing her. Hhhh, it's suddenly so tight? He doesn't like that- ] Felicity...
[ Ohhh no. Oh dear. Mizuki immediately puts away the video game he's messing with and closes the distance between him and Felicity, immediately pulling her into a hug. He understands. What a horrible feeling. ]
Here, it's okay. I'm right here. You can sit down, I've got you...
[ She doesn't get the choice, actually, he's already pulling her to sit in the sands with him stroking her hair. ]
[ And Mizuki just settles his head against hers and allows for her to just... get it out. He doesn't say anything, but brushes her hair with one hand and uses the other to hold her close.
He'll wait for as long as he needs to as well, until she's ready to talk about it. ]
( she'll let him just hold her for a few minutes before she inhales slowly. it might be better to sit up properly for this discussion, but... the jellyfish is warm and soft and gentle. best to stay right where she is and just shift enough that her words aren't muffled... well, not more than her already scratchy voice currently is. )
... I don't entirely understand what happened still. I woke up being strangled, and then it was gone. When I was checking on myself, I heard yelling... Pure Vanilla Cookie was injured too, much more severely than I was.
He says the forest threatened him, punished him for helping that holy rain heal Nene. That it used me as a hostage in it's power play.
[ Mizuki doesn't let go of Fel, but his hand does halt for a moment. ] ...W-wait, hold on, that's a lot to take in all at once.
Mister Pure Vanilla got hurt, too? Is he okay? Does he need help, too? Are you fine? Should we get you... I mean... I still don't know how to heal super good, but I can help you, maybe...???
I healed him, but I had to rest after. He- he was really shaken up. There was blood- he couldn't even heal. I just... remember him soaked in his own blood...
( oh, she might be more traumatized by all this than she thought, actually. )
[ Ohhh dear. That sounds like so much?? Considering the fact that Felicity is here and not at PV's side, Mizuki can at least assume that he is okay, but excuse him if he's going to go be inside of peepaw's walls later. For now, he starts to comb through Felicity's hair again. ]
I can imagine he was. That sounds... [ Like a lot, actually. ] Fellie... it's okay... you don't gotta think about it if it hurts. Are you okay?

What happened? Are you okay??

( it's a struggle to stay composed, and her next words come out as a whisper. )
The forest attacked me in my sleep. I woke up being strangled by something, and then- it was gone.

( which is probably the easiest admission of this sort of thing than he's gotten in a long time. )
I just- close my eyes and remember the vine around my neck. Or Pure Vanilla in his own blood.
... Dark Cacao left, too. He- he just, saw the state we were in, and- decided to go fight the forest or something. We could't stop him.
( her voice cracks with a sob at this point- )
I don't know what to do, Mizuki...
