Little dove sitting on her own

Characters: Kobato Hanato and Anyone.
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: 6th November
Summary: Kobato is still feeling down in the dumps about her part in what happened days past.
Warning: No warnings.

Kobato had currently spent most of her time keeping to herself and trying to bottle up how she felt inside. But it always had a way of showing itself, so she did the next best thing. She tried to keep away from those she cared about. Those she considered friends in her mind. She even tried to avoid those who were new but she didn't seem to get by with that.

She soon found herself near the fire crystal once more as she quietly went to sit down away from everyone. For now all she wanted to do was be alone and try and think of ways to help people in her way to say sorry. If anyone spots her and comes over they'd notice she was alone and her moogle wasn't even around. She really was all alone for the moment.

Kobato hadn't been paing that much attention, her eyes focused on the crystal as she jumped the moment the fist was on her head. "Eh!?" she yelled slightly suddenly turning around., it really was unexpected after all.

"Al-Allenby-san... I-It really has been a while." She said slowly calming down a bit, her eyes slowly glancing not to her friend, but to the floor.

"Yeah. Hope it hasn't seemed like I was avoiding you or anything." she says moving her hand to her hip instead.

"So, what's got you over here all by yourself. You seemed more like the social butterfly to me." She's not blind. She can tell she's a bit down, but, perhaps the contrasting cheer, and upbeat curiosity, can even the two of them out.

"N-No, I didn't think it was anything like that, you were just buy like I could be at times." That was the conclusion she came to at least.

"I just wanted to think things over" She said nervously looking at the ground some more her hands started fidgeting with her robes. "After what happened... I just needed to think."

"After what happened, huh?" And that was her cue to pry into the poor girl's sadness and hope to help sort through it, or at least help her feel better.

"But... if you'd rather not talk about it, that's fine too. But you don't have to sit there and keep it all to yourself."

She paused slightly, she didn't want to talk about it, but at the same time she knew that most people knew of what happened that night.

"It's just...you know what happened right? That night..."

She nods, silently.

"I do but..." Nobody held her responsible, but... how many others would tell her that later? yesterday? tomorrow?

"You know, that's the great thing about really good friends. No matter what you end up doing... a real friend will always be there for you. Even if you do something really bad." she says, recalling some of her own experiences. "Sure, they might have to beat you up a little but... even that's for the better sometimes." she says, dropping her knuckles gently on the girl's head.

She sat there, looking at her hands and fidgeting a little bit as she listened. Friends will always be there, even if people do bad things? As she thought about it she didn't understand why people would want to do that?

The moment the knuckles were on her head she nearly jumped down, moving her hands and placing them on her head before looking up. "Wh-What was the knuckles for?"

Allenby couldn't explain that without being asked, but undoubtedly she had been 'there', in that situation. And saved, no less.

"Because you need to snap out of your little funk. And I can't well punch you." she grins. "Like I said, even if someone does something bad, even when they don't want to, friends WILL be there for them. So don't worry okay? You'll always have your friends."

She nearly pouted at it being called a funk. Sure, she wasn't her usual self, but she had good reason for it. Or at least she believes she had a good reason for it. She didn't think it would be easy to just 'snap' out of it, but she figured if they said so it was a possibility.

"...I really don't understand. Why a friend would want to, would it be a lack of trust?"

"Why someone would do something bad? Well... maybe someone like their family or someone they love is in trouble, and to save them, they think the only thing they can do is something bad, like steal money. Or... well, in my case, you just lose control of yourself because someone messes with your head, and you just keep attacking your friends, until they beat you up a little and snap you out of it."

Her speech kind of came full circle finally, where she'd started finally telling what she'd meant.

"...People do that..." She paused, she couldn't ay she fully understand but in a sense if your helping someone it could be considered a different matter. She had to think of it like that.

After keeping quiet for a good five minutes she looks at the other one more. It was clear she was at least starting to understand a little. "I guess that makes sense.., But in my case it wasn't for a good cause. I only believed it to be."

"And that's okay. You clearly weren't in your right mind, which is why nobody is faulting for what happened." she reassures. "I know you feel bad about it but, it's not your fault so don't you worry, okay?"

This time instead of bopping her on the head, she gives her a reassuring hug from the side, pulling on one shoulder. "So how about instead of that we go get something sweet, yeah?" She might be an expert in fighting, but she's still a girl.

"I'm sorry..." She knew she wasn't suppose to say that again, she had no reason to but deep down she just couldn't help it at all. She felt like that she had to say such a thing even to make herself feel better.

She looked to the floor, nearly tearing up. She didn't thin they would be so nice about what happened and all she wanted to do was cry but right now didn't seem like a good idea, but never the less she wiped her eyes

"I-I would like that very much."
