heh, Bend's blushing is adorable

“IT’S NOT ADORABLE AND I WASNT BLUSHING!!!!!”

[broken-projectionist]

So it turned out alright. Joey's gone and Bend is okay. Lady's relieved to hear that even though she couldn't do a thing to help Bend. She stood there taking this in then softly began to cry. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she threw her arms around Bend hugging him tight. "I'm just happy you're alright. I thought you weren't going to come back as yourself."

‘Aww... Please don’t cry, I’m here, same as always..” Ben reassured, Embracing Lady with a deep breath. It hurt him to see her cry like this. However, this time he wasn’t going to go anywhere for a long time, he’d be more careful while traversing through the studio alone.

“I don’t want to see you worry so much... I want you to be happy, alright? There may be ups and downs here and there but this will be a happy place... ya’hear?” 

[broken-projectionist]

It's him! It has to be him since he called out her name. Lady ran towards the source looking down each hall or down every corner to find him. The place looked noticeably different and in a good way. What all happened since her last visit? Bend may know. The next corner stopped her seeing a man but yet he gave off that energy. The energy of Bend. "B...Bend? Is that...you?"

Ben smiled upon seeing Lady, It was nice to see her again after this time...

“Golly, I sure hope I’m me!” He chuckled, rolling back on his heels and giving a small wave. He’s more playful, less nervous around her! This is a nice improvement.

“It’s been a While, Dear. How have you been?”

[broken-projectionist]

It'd been quite some time since her last visit. The Lady stepped into the familiar halls of the studio a little timidly this time. She wants to see him. She wants to know if he's okay after the last fiasco. More importantly Lady wants to tell Bend something that's been bugging her. "Bend? Beeend??"

Of course, it had been a while since the whole Ink machine event, and Ben has since forgotten it. Joey was gone from the studio now since he had left to go be with his wife. He decided it wasn’t going to be so bad with Alec in charge now…

Ever since then, the studio had a different vibe and Ben took the opportunity to try a new look. New cleaner hairstyle and Sharp-lookin’ Suit! A new attitude followed the new look as well ever since the separation from Mr. Drew, More Strict on the outside but still the same ol’ softie on the inside!

As he Stood in the hallway, Ben’s attention was drawn towards the ink machine room but was quickly drawn away at the sound of the familiar voice,

“Lady? Is that you calling?” He responded with a forte tone, making sure he was heard.

💭lady anon for Bend

“She's such a beautiful woman... I love her lots!”“It was love at first sight for me and I’m so glad I had marked her when I had the chance~ None of my Searchers have gone after her ever since I draw the charms on her, which is good because I want to protect her so much. She doesn’t deserve to be harassed by my minions.”

[broken-projectionist]

Her grip and the tears slowly calmed yet Lady didn't want to leave him go. There's a fear of just losing him again after all the things he's been through. She wiped off the remaining tears with her arm and nodded slowly to him. "Okay. You're not busy now are you? I wanted to spend time with you and talk about some things."

He smiled and loosened his grip as Lady calmed herself, for he might've put on a smile, he didn't enjoy seeing her cry at all. The Sight made his heart ache since he didn't really know how to deal with human emotions like sadness just yet-

“While I do have things to fix around this giant studio, I can hold it all off, for now, to spend some much needed time with you, Darling...” He said, stealing a glance over towards the machine, he’s growing more and more uneasy while standing around the active... thing-

[broken-projectionist]

You sure? you're still recovering like you said. I think it's best to rest for a bit, or maybe let us help

“I don’t require rest for I am a Demon... unlike you humans who need it to live.”

“Besides, I should be able to get through things fairly well... especially since I’ve figured out a way to control my Powers in this form...” He said, toying with a gold Fountain pen in his hands.

[broken-projectionist]

I'm glad you're doing alright, Bend. A lot of crazy things have happened from time to time.

“Well, I’m not completely alright, Still Recovering while hiding in this new form...”

“I’ve yet to bring back the Staff from the well of voices. Some are still Human while others are... Creatures turned by Joey’s hand while he was in control. I fear that they will blame ME for doing what joey had done...”

“I’ve got a Lot to fix here... a so little time-! Alexander Is out right now, went out to a club to relax. I don’t know when he will return.”

“I Must get to work...”
