shawarma time

[finalmix]

[ some time after Atem's palace when everyone has had the time to get back from braphine's temple, and more importantly get that sand out of your everything (and enjoy NOT 40 degree Celsius weather)

everyone who was in Atem's palace will find themselves suddenly added to a group chat by joshua and he just sends a singular address

it's the address to a shawarma place that somehow magically has a big enough table to fit 14 people. amazing. we love fluid locations like this.

post palace dinner, y'all know the drill ]

I was worried about you, so only in that sense. ... Maybe I should be more surprised, but- the fact that you were hurting was worse, to me.

[cleansewithfire]

...So you were not afraid of me?

[beathollow]

I trust you too much.

[ So this might be Mafuyu's first time seeing Sunrise feel anything remotely resembling touched. ]

...Thank you.

[beathollow]

...

( she's getting a gentle hug. )

[cleansewithfire]

[ That catches Sunrise off-guard. The first thing Mafuyu will notice is that Sunrise feels cold, in the way of someone who has absolutely no body warmth.

After a moment, she slowly raises her arms to hug Mafuyu back. ]

[beathollow]

( if it bothers mafuyu, she shows no signs of it. only hugs now... and given the surprise, she thinks sunrise badly needs it. )

[cleansewithfire]

[ Maybe. Sunrise hasn't ever thought about whether she "needed" hugs or not, merely accepting them whenever Radiant Voice gave her one (which is often). And she can understand why he gives them, because it doesn't matter to him either way whether she's warm or not.

...She hasn't often been hugged by a living person, though. So she'll stay for as long as Mafuyu will let her. ]

[beathollow]

( ... well. uh. they're just going to stay like that for a while then, because mafuyu has no appetite beyond stealing things from others' plates and so much love and guilt in her heart.

... and sunrise definitely does need it. )
