( oh boy let’s A gO ACTUALLY WAIT-can I be Theo too? I wanna test the boi out )

Sofia was currently sitting on the couch, nose deep in her computer pouring over project Blue files. Even after bringing Tari back she was still—mildly intrigued by them. She just...wanted to know how the hell Sheridan managed to pull it off.

Sheridan you might be an insane creep—but I gotta hand it to you...it’s..scarily impressive.


How could—-how could that even remotely happen? Luce giving Tari life solely by merging consciousness together?...it Defies all logic in my opinion.

But honestly—-I’m glad it happened...otherwise I’d never get to meet Tari in the first place...but...at a cost I don’t want to repeat again.



She winced at that and kept typing on her separate notes page as she read on.

( yeye go for it!! )

Tari poked her head into the room and cleared her throat.

"Sofia..?" she called softly. "You, um... you alright?"

It was pretty late, at least in her eyes, and she wasn't about to let Sofia lose sleep.

( EE )

Sofia heard Tari’s voice and perked her head up ever so slightly. Then looked back at the screen.

“ Yeah I’m fine bluejay promise, just research is all “ she reassured as she scrolled down a good few more paragraphs. Her brows knitting together as she kept on reading. She started to grow a bit of a headache so she sighed heavily and closed her eyes.

God what time is it?—-

She grunted a bit and shook her head.

“ Are you okay?—-did you have a nightmare or something....?” She asked as she looked over at the bluejay. Her brows furrowed with worry and concern seen clear as day in her blue gaze.

( awwww the BEBE )

"I haven't slept," Tari admitted, eyes darting to the ground. She held one arm as goosebumps began to travel up her shoulders.

She really needed to get warmer outfits... she couldn't just wear the hoodie all the time, as much as she wanted to.

"I, um... I was just... kinda worried about you, that's all."

( right back atcha the Bebe )

Sofia furrowed her brow at the first part, she noticed Tari’s sudden nervous nature and it only worried her more. Though she gave a weak smile.

Worried about me huh?.....heh...

“ I’m fine, promise. You don’t need to worry about me “ she soothed with a tiny chuckle she yawned and closed her computer. Exhaustion slowly getting to her but not too bad, she could still keep going. Besides she still had more questions she wanted to be answered.

She stood up.

“ Now you on the other hand, definitely. Let’s get you to bed huh? W—what time is it anyhow?....” Sofia asked, her speech a bit slurred but not. Her head was starting to feel a bit weighted but she pushed through it.

( i hope i'm doing her justice ^^ )

Tari pouted.

"Yes I do need to worry about you. I'm always worrying about something, so... I might as well worry about what matters."

She shifted her weight to one foot. "And... it's half past two in the morning..."

( you areeeee ack AND MA HEART OMG. Also I hope I’m doing Sofia justice too -)

Sofia furrowed her brow at the first part, her heart warming up.

Tari.....

A warm smile was seen, only for her eyes to widen and for her head to peek up.

“ Holy shi—-Two?! “ she gasped. She hardly noticed the time flying by!

Hmm...no wonder I’m getting a headache right now...okay body I’ll listen.

She blinked a few times then shook her head.

“ Uhhh—-y-yeah let’s, let’s all go to bed then, whew—-reading files sure does that to ya, I hardly noticed “ Sofia chuckled

( you are!! and thank you ack-
also smol post )

Tari held out her hand for Sofia to hold, saying nothing.

She returned the smile and awaited Sofia's response.

She knew that Sofia needed the rest, and wasn't about to deprive her any further.

( EEE danke! And is all good ^^ and ye ofc! )

Sofia looked at Tari’s hand and sighed softly. She held her laptop close and headed over to Tari only. She looked at Tari’s hand and smiled only to grab it without question.

“.....thanks Bluejay “ she yawned she glanced at the ground and hesitated on the question. It’s not been long since Tari was back but she...missed her. And wanted to be close to her, really close.

“ would—-would it be alright if we uh....snuggled tonight?” She asked only to visibly wince “ I k-know it might be weird but I just...I miss you and...a-and—just...wanna be close to you is all. A-and after the big battle I just...I just...” she stammered and glanced away out of slight embarrassment. Her face turning a light shade of pink.

Fearing that she may be getting too clingy.

"Sure; of-- of course!" Tari said softly. "Um... I wanted to ask you about that too, but... I-I um... I was shy."

She held Sofia's hand tighter and stood close to her, practically shoulder-to-shoulder with her.

"Do you want me to get anything extra...? Like... blankets or pillows, or..."

Sofia beamed at the first part, her eyes sparkling.

Well what dya know! Awesome!

She also noticed the close contact and pressed a bit closer. Internally great full for it. Then she beamed more.

“ ooh yeah! We can make it all snuggly. Like a really comfy sleep over heh. I’ll go get those and you just get comfy okay? We can watch movies on my laptop too “ she beamed/ offered.

"Oh, uh-- alright! Don't be long though, okay...?" Tari ventured, eyes widening a little.

She didn't like being left alone, especially at night.

But she'd be patient.

( the Bebe ack-)

Sofia nodded.

“ I won’t be promise! Here how about you find something for us to watch alright?” She asked as she handed Tari her laptop.

Though she froze internally.

Shit no! ——wait—-they’re hidden, a-and they’re encrypted She can’t get into them. At least not like this....AI wise maybe—but not like this.

Buuuut just in case—

“ Though if you happen to see any weird folders that read ‘ off limits ‘. I mean it—Sofia’s eyes only. “ Sofia added, her eyes slightly wide.

( Right back atcha though but OOP- )

"Oh! Uh... o-okay then," Tari squeaked out, carefully taking the laptop into her arms. "I'll be careful, I promise."

She backed up slowly before ducking into her room. "Thanks-- I'll try to find something-- I hope you like cute animals."

( WEHE )

Sofia sighed in relief at the first part, her shoulders slouching.

Thank god...she better mean it.

Then she beamed and nodded.

“ Of course I do I mean who wouldn’t?” She grinned.

Unless your Evelyn—hell I think even Marco secretly likes them.

Tari chuckled.

"Yeah, heh... that's true!" she called.

She sat down on her bed and searched through Sofia's laptop to find the browser.

Gosh, what did she do? This doesn't look like a normal computer.

It's like she made it all herself.

Oh--!

She froze when she happened upon a zipped folder labelled "DON'T TOUCH".

Sof told me not to... gosh, what on earth could be so bad that I'm not supposed to touch it...? It's not like it's... well didn't Belle have something like that in the TAS Corp servers...? She got all defensive about those photos she had of her and Lucinia... maybe it's something like that...?

She bit her lip. Just a peek. That's all. I won't ask any questions, and-- it'll be fine.

She opened the folder and let out a tiny gasp at what she saw. She clamped a hand over her mouth and closed the laptop.

And then she opened it again, checked the folder, and let out a panicked squeak.

She'd seen some things, but this? This was... intense.

I-I-I didn't even think that--

all those tails-- all the-- all the monsters-- who even thinks of that--?!

And why does Sofia have so many?!

( LMFAO THE BEBEE OH DEAR PFFT )

Sofia had taken a while, getting some extra blankets, then decided to grab a bag of chips as a snack and a bottle of soda. She had the blankets around her neck with the snack in one hand and the bottle under her arm.

Okay all set!——

——And whyyyyy does it feel like my spider sense is tingling—-

Oh god—she—-she better not have—-

No I told her not to—it...it should be okay.

Sofia took a deep breath and sighed, anxiety forming in the pit of her stomach.

“ Please don’t be traumatized, please don’t be traumatized. Please listen to Me please. “ Sofia said, trying to calm herself down.

With that she swallowed and headed over to Tari’s room. Anxiety swelling in her stomach as she did so.

( I HAD TO I SORRI )

Tari shut the laptop as soon as she heard Sofia coming back. Maybe she could just play dumb.

"H-heyy, you're back--" she smiled, voice breaking. She cleared her throat. "Sorry. Um... I figured I'd let you, um... choose... what we watch..."

She blinked. She knew she was a horrible liar, but maybe, just maybe, Sofia wouldn't ask.

( IS OKI LMFAO )

Sofia’s ears worked, she heard the laptop shut and felt her heart leap into her throat, causing her to swallow again.

She entered the room and furrowed her brows, she froze in her tracks. She caught the voice break, she caught Tari’s body language and her eyes widened.

Her face turned pink, all of it. Her heart was pounding in her ears as the anxiety grew too much.

“..........you did, didn’t you....” Sofia sighed with her brows furrowed. She wasn’t dumb, sadly.

( she caught you, ya silly )

Tari's face fell almost immediately.

She put her face in her hands and didn't say a word.

She didn't hate Sofia for it, but she hated the fact she just couldn't resist the temptation.

I should have just listened...

I'm sorry...

( SISJADIAJS. AND THE BEBE MA HEART )

Sofia’s eyes widened more and felt her throat tighten up. Even her eyes glossed over, she’s not told Tari yet about her past. She’ll never tell anyone for that matter.

She sat the items down on the table, as well as the blanket. Her hands started shaking. She didn’t dare make eye contact yet.

You should’ve just said nothing about it....now look what you’ve done—

She probably thinks your disgusting too....

She was gonna break the silence only to gasp, but no air came in. Her eyes widened again.

NO—SHIT—-COME ON DAMN IT NOT NOW—

Sofia made a few jerking motions, like a cat about to throw up as she tried to get air in, but she visibly winced and squeezed her eyes shut. Arching back her back due to the pain.

( ACK THE BEBEEE )

Tari overheard and looked up at her.

"N-no, no, I-- Sofia, I'm sorry, I should've-- I should've listened to you," she squeaked out. "I-I should've respected your privacy, I-- I'm sorry--!"

She looks-- tense...

Kind of... squished--?

"S-Sofia...?"

( right back atcha )


Sofia visibly winced again and made that jerking motion once more only make a raspy breathing sound, but nothing came in.

“ Sssokay—-my fault “ she choked out “ Shit—-j-just...gimme a sec—“ she said as she leant her weight on the table. The canary bent over and hung her head as she tried to catch her breath.

Come on—-come on damn it—-

"S-Sofia, what's-- what's wrong?" Tari ventured, eyes widening.

She looks like she's suffocating!

Allergic reaction maybe?

God, Tari-- h-help her!

She set the laptop down and rushed over, then rested her hands on Sofia's shoulders. She began rubbing Sofia's back to help her calm down. "What's happening...?"
