Posted 2022-08-08 18:59:35 #813709 *Astrid was a little confused, but she didn't have the energy to ask questions. Once they were back inside, she nudged Cress to sit down on the sofa, and then sat down next to him. She'd sat pretty close to him again, despite the extra room on the couch.* "I know you didn't mean to. . why were you jealous, though? Of what?" *She asked, looking up at him with a confused expression. She could tell his anxiety was getting the best of him right now, so she put her head on his shoulder and closed his eyes so he wouldn't feel watched. She wasn't really sure if it would help, but that's what used to help her when she was smaller.* "It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, but jealousy is something I don't understand. Can you explain it?" *She sighed, still not opening her eyes.*

Posted 2022-08-08 19:26:59 #813737 *Cress froze in place do to the closeness, yet he found it comforting, he started to breath rapidly and his fingers twitched* "Er…Cress isn't used to….caring about others and oddly hearing Cypress' name pissed Cress off…" *He looked down, his face was red with embarrassment and he still couldn't piece it togather* "….Cress often tried killing self and asked Aster to just…end it because everything in Cress' life is stressful, uncertain….Cress' own body wants him dead and the voice never shuts up…" *He whimpered a little but stoped as his eyes went to Astrid, and smiled softly* "Oddly enough…" *He slowly reached a hand over and gently placed it on the side of Astrid's face* "Cress enjoys your presence…" *Then with a jolt he pulled his hand away* "S-sorry…Cress is being creepy I-isn't he?" *He looked down as he folded his hands in his lap, his face hot with pure embarrassment*

Posted 2022-08-08 19:31:32 #813739 *Astrid tilted her head a little, seeming confused. If he wanted to be close to her, then she didn't plan on stopping him. She reached down and took his hand, bringing it back up to her face.* "You aren't being creepy, you're being sweet." *She smiled a little, not seeming bothered by it.* "Astrid enjoys your presence, too." *She teased a little, but it wasn't meant to be offensive. She thought the way he spoke was pretty damn adorable, actually.* "Very much." *She added, looking him in the eyes.*

Posted 2022-08-08 19:39:06 #813740 *Cress felt his entire being melt, and smiled shyly at Astrid, he didn't take the sudden third person speak to be offensive in the slightest but her way of showing interest, he gasped a little then bite his bottom lip cutely as tiny purple flames shot out from him, lighting up his face in their soft light, revealing his rosy cheeks and little freckles scattered about his face, he slightly turned his body to face Astrid a bit better and looked her deeply in the eyes, his seem to speckled with shy affection, he couldn't help but look away, yet kept his soft smile, more little flames shot out, flames of soft purple that circled him, they were warm and didn't burn*

Posted 2022-08-08 19:44:33 #813741 *Astrid noticed the small flames and watched them as they danced around in the air, seeming fascinated. She'd never been able to create something that looked so. . . alive. She reached out and touched one, feeling how it was warm, but not hot.* "That's so cooool~!" *She smiled softly, completely forgetting about how shitty she felt. Just for a moment, she was also able to forget about the dead body chilling just down the street. Right now, she was just happy to get to sit there with Cress while he made nervous flames. Her face turned a light shade of pink, though, she hardly noticed it. She was still too captivated by the purple flames.*

Posted 2022-08-08 20:02:30 #813743 *Cress found his gaze fixated upon Astrid's face, he was thrilled by her excitement but also felt this didn't really help his case, so he folded his hands in his lap once more and stared at the floor as more flames shot out, he couldn't control them, they danced about in their own manner, giving them a life of their own, he shook a little as they kept emerging and felt relieved that Astrid doesn't understand their meaning, their purpose, but it also made him feel a bit mournful, if she knew then perhaps she'd understand what he has been meaning to tell her*

Posted 2022-08-08 20:10:50 #813747 *Astrid cupped her hands around one of the embers, focusing for a moment. It turned an odd shade of green, and then black, but continued dancing just the same. She yawned quietly, glancing down and frowning at the blood that still stained the seats. She sighed and stood up wobbily, walking over to the utility closet and getting out the shampooer. She genuinely hated using the damn thing because of how loud it was, but she didn't know of any other ways to get blood off of fabric and carpet.* "Hey- I've gotta run this on the cushions for a minute. You can go chill in the bedroom until it's done if you want. This thing can get kinda loud." *She looked at him, not sounding too happy about it.*

Posted 2022-08-08 21:27:05 #813768 *Cress looked at Astrid for a moment, and the flames went out, he walked over to the bedroom and sat in the darkest corner he could find and stared at the bed, which was the only thing that caught his attention, She only likes you as a friend Cress, hehehelhehehhe oh that's so funny! You thought for a moment there that when she said, that she found your presence very comforting you thought that- Shut up Cypress, Cress gets it…just need to forget about everything…gOoooooooD boy! See how easy it is? Now remember, everyone hates you ok Cress? Yeah…Cress understands, he thought somberly as he pressed the back of his head against the wall and stared at the ceiling, he couldn't help but feel crushed, and knew it would pass, he just needs to focus on where he'd go once Astrid is healed up, or perhaps he should leave earlier, regardless he knew that over time he will murder every member of the circus because one by one they will hunt him, and it will end the same way, beating them to death. Just remember, Cress is worthless, no one cares about him so just give up on thinking anyone cares, simple as that, Cress was lost in his own thoughts, thoughts that he knew well and felt himself caring less about himself by the minute, but he was used to it, Relax Cress, once we're out of here, the sweet release of death will be yours to take…, his fingers twitched as the image of the blade strapped to his back came up, and before he knew it, it was in his right hand, it was a long, crooked blade with a fine, sharp edge, he ran his finger along it which sliced the tip of his index finger, his gaze was fixated upon it, after a moment he sucked on his finger then licked the blood off the edge* "Don't worry baby, daddy will use you…..till the very end…." *He whispered to the blade as he sat up, and started to stroke it* "So sharp….so shiny….you will make my death so easy…just need to plunge you into my gut and allll is fine….." *His voice was hollowed, emotionless as he continued stroking the blade, he stared at the wall across the room lifelessly*

Posted 2022-08-08 22:09:52 #813797 *Astrid ran the shampooer on the tops of all the cushions, taking only ten minutes to get it all cleaned again. She'd invested in stain-resistant couches a few years ago, and they were seriously paying off. Once she was done, she put the shampooer away and walked into her room.* "Alright- The sofa's clean, so we could go watch a movie if you wa-" *She suddenly stopped talking as soon as she saw Cress sitting in the corner with his knife in hand.* "Cress. . what're you doing with that.?" *She stayed where she was, not wanting to approach him and set him off by mistake. She could feel herself beginning to panic, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. For all she knew, he might just be chilling there. You know that's not true. You know that look in his eyes. She swallowed nervously, still looking at him, praying silently that he wasn't thinking of hurting himself.*

Posted 2022-08-08 22:22:51 #813806 *Cress continued stroking his blade, and was gentle, he looked at Astrid* "What movie were you thinking?" *He answered the first thing Astrid said but didn't register the second bit, his hand continued stroking his blade like it was a living creature and heard the voice whispering dark, demented things, trying to make him end it right here and now, yet Cress chose to ignore it for once, he slowly got up and pushed the blade up his back, only he knew the of the complex blade holder he has there, to others it would seem he just pushed it through his flesh, now he chose to register the last bit Astrid had said* "Just spending time with my friend is all" *Something about him seemed off, like he has lost every once of emotion he had, even his voice didn't seem to have the usual sweet tilt to it*
