Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

[ She's definitely not expecting that, but she returns the hug. It feels like an overdue thing, doesn't it? But she knows Bruce is careful in pretty much everything.

Which is why it's such a surprise that he's initiated the hug. Aqua lays her head on his shoulder, but she doesn't let go, not yet. ]

[Bruce doesn't let go either, at least not that soon anyway. He needs to remind himself that this is real, that its over and they're all okay - or at least, eventually will be in some semblance of okay. It'll take a while, or a very long while, but still... they'll be okay. Eventually.

After a good while Bruce does pull back, and he feels a lot better than he had before. It probably shows on his face too.]

I'm glad you're alive, Aqua.

[prismbloom]

[ She pulls away, too, glad to see that he's--at least outwardly--doing a lot better. ]

I'm glad we're both alive, too. You know, I was very worried about you the weeks after what happened to me.

[amygdalae]

...I could imagine.

[Aqua has always been incredibly caring as well. Bruce honestly isn't that all surprised.]

I apologize for hazing worried you.

[prismbloom]

[ She shakes her head, laughing lightly. ]

You don't have to apologize. You know how much I worry.

[amygdalae]

That doesn't mean I shouldn't have worried you even more.

[A small smile crosses his face here at this point.]

[prismbloom]

[ She gives his shoulder a little nudge. ]

Well, then I suppose I can accept your apology.

[amygdalae]

Generous as always.

[The smile widens a little, and the corners of his eyes crinkle a little.]
