Tears and Gladness

Okay y'all post WAAAY too much!! I keep getting left in the dust! We move so fast in the roleplay, I wanted to show Nyarth finding his poffin case and choosing his room and showering and talking to Nina and meeting Mear... Oh well. I'll condense all of that into one post. Here goes!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's like my room was made for me. Whoever made the house was a genious. Everyone had a specific room made specially for them! How awesome!

I walked down the corridor of the boys' side and opened the doors, looking into the rooms. I could see that most of them were taken already, well at least the ones on the first floor. There were some of the gijinkas sleeping in them already. I doubled back on myself and headed up the stairs.

(you know guys, we decided the mansion is a 3-story. Some people can have their rooms ABOVE groundfloor ya know! ;D)

After searching the rooms in both the second and third floors I decided in a small square room off the second story. It was only several feet long and several feet wide, but that's why I liked it. I guess I have the opposite of claustrophobia...I love small enclosed spaces. It makes me feel comfortable.

I opened the door and the first thing I noticed about the room was the two long, vertical windows on the East and West sides of the room, near the wall opposite the door. The windows were framed with curtains and they spanned from the floor to a foot away from the celing. Wow, I thought. The way the windows are situated, sunlight is constantly streaming in here onto the bed, whether the sun is rising or setting! That's awesome because me, being a feline, I love napping in sun patches. They're really comfortable.

The twin bed was situated long ways against the wall and was covered with really soft-looking pillows and a big comforter. I bet that'd be heaven to sleep in. There also were small flower boxes outside the windows. I love to garden and grow berries, so I could grow small berry bushes right outside my room! Awesome.

The only other furniture in the room (made of some kind of dark wood) were a small bookshelf, which was empty, and a small desk with a chair and a lamp. I could add my own touches soon when I got time. My room is perfect for all my interests! It couldn't be better.

The color scheme of the room was a warm chocolate-coffee-and-whippedcream scheme. The walls were a light tan, the floor (covered in soft, short carpet) was a shade darker than bright white. The comforter was a warm chocolate color, with dark brown and white pillows, and tan sheets.

Seeing that I picked my room, I started exploring the house and looking for the bathroom. I guess I need a shower. I passed up more of the male gijinkas on the way there, they probably had already taken their showers 'cuz they smelled strongly of shampoo. I was able to find the bathroom and I looked into the mirror for the first time in a long time. I looked kinda bad, to tell you the truth. That Pokepox took a lot out of me. I was glad now that I didn't choose to fight the robots or else I'd have worsened my condition.

I wearily shrugged off my clothes and ran the water in the giant bathtub, not too hot but a certain shade of warm. It felt awesome to be able to wash my hair, ears, and tail again. I know cats hate water, but I felt so relaxed in the warm bubbly water that I just wanted to fall asleep right there...

Someone knocked on the door just now. It sounded like Hon. "Hey! Whoever's in there, Estelle just rang a bell and is calling for some kind of meeting in the living room... hurry up!" He said.

I jumped out of the water like there was a Sharpedo in it, hastily dried off with a nearby towel, quickly donned my old dirty clothes on (I really should get some more clothes soon, I thought) and shook most of the water out of my hair and tail. I took another small hand towel and a brush with me and got out of the bathroom. If I didn't finish drying my hair and tail completely I might catch a cold...my immune system is already weak because of the Pokepox.

I headed downstairs to where I could hear all the other gijinkas complaining. I looked around for my friend Nina, who was one of the people whom I was closest to in the whole group, and sat by her. She looked really small sitting in the metal folding chair, her hands on her knees and looking down. I asked her what was going on.

"Hey Nina-chan!" I whispered. "What are we doing??"

Nina turned to me. "Miss Estelle wants us to share stories about our past..."

Because she turned to me I saw she had tears in her eyes. "Oh...Nina did you already go? You look like you've been cr... I mean, you look really sad..." I murmured. I didn't like her being sad.

All she did was nod and I saw her lip trembling. I didn't want her to cry... It makes me sad when she's sad...

"N...no...don't cry..." I pleaded softly. I want her to be happy, not sad. But she slowly shook her head, faced the front again, and I could see a tear roll down her cheek.

Ugh. I'm not good at words. I wanted to cheer her up. I didn't know what to do. Then suddenly, surprising myself, I scooted closer to her and hugged her tightly. "Please don't be sad!!"

Then I could feel her crying now. Her body shook with small sobs. I'm just glad she likes me enough to cry on my shoulder. I looked up, past her, and saw a few other gijinkas watching with kind but curious looks in their eyes. I found myself blushing.

Well, what are they looking at me for? Is there nothing wrong with comforting a friend? I thought. Well, was Nina a friend? A close friend? ....did I...maybe...like like her a little?

As soon as I thought that, my stomach gave a little jolt. Then Nina took a deep breath and sat up from the hug. She began wiping her tears away with her sleeve, but I could see a grin forming on her face. She sniffed. "....Thanks...Nyarth." She said, looking at me.

I couldn't help but smile. I'm just so glad I made her feel better again...!

"Y...you're welcome. I like...when you're happy, you know. It makes me sad when you're upset..."

She smiled and nodded, and then faced the front again, to listen to another gijinka's story.

"...'cuz I care...about you...." I continued, even quieter.

But I know she didn't hear me then.
