The Divide 4

((Then have Dante do it))
~after several hours, Aurora enters Ryo's tent with a platter of fresh food~

(( Dante.... Dante is no longer "with us"))
Ryo sleeps peacefully, waking up when Aurora enter.
"Hey..."

Aurora: Oh! I'm s-sorry. I didn't mean to wake you *she sets the tray of food beside his bed*

Ryo smiles and slowly sits up.
"No... It's fine..."

Aurora: *places her hand on his back to steady him*

Ryo looks up to her.
"Thank you... But I don't need your help for this..."

Aurora: *sighs and smiles slightly, she leans her head on his shoulder*

((Fine... Please have spisek rescue her from the plant at some point....))

Daria: oh... *looks confused*

Col waits there, thinking that his reason is making perfect sense.

Daria: I'm afraid I still don't understand...

Col: "Uh... Well... I don't want to accidently hurt you…"

Ryo quickly finishes his food.

Daria: *nods... She looks down looking a bit sad but calmer*

Col lifts up the happiness potion to her.

Daria: *shakes her head* I already have the ability to be happy... I'm not going to make myself be artificially happy... *sighs and sits*

Col puts it in his pocket and looks off to the side.

Aurora: *gently rubs his back*

Ryo is a bit confused, but isn't complaining.

Aurora: *looks around and hums*

Ryo listens to the humming, enjoying Aurora's presence.

Aurora: Is there anything else I can get you? *she smiles slightly*

Daria: I.. I won't take the knife off again... I shouldn't have... I'm sorry...

Col shakes his head.
"No need to apologize for taking the knife away."
He blushes heavily but doesn't seem to notice that he is.
"You didn't know..."
He kisses her cheek lightly once more.

Ryo smiles.
"No... I'm fine... It's wonderful just being with you right now..."

Aurora: *smiles and rests her head on his shoulder* I agree

Aira: *talks with a few medics*

Ryo sighs happily, only wishing that he wasn't exhausted by over use of magic.

Aurora: *looks up at him* I'm glad you're feeling better
