@casper-ferreiro was at the gondola; it was shut down for the lockdown, but he did not want to stay in his room with Ri. He was just wondering how much energy it would take to move the thing when he saw the last person he ever wanted to see; Key.*

(OOC// if you have a plan, you can ignore this)

Key isn't paying attention to where he's going. His mind is screaming too many things at him.

Leave! Get out! Run away!

Really? Running away? What a coward.

You have to check on Falco!

What are you doing?? You don't have a plan, where do you think you're going?

He doesn't notice Casper. Not yet. He stumbles over his own feet. He feels weak. He feels awful. His head hurts.

Alrighty

Key

This is Odward again

And

I came to say

I AM NOT ACCEPTING THIS FROM YOU

Can you tell me what you wanna do that might cheer you up?

My treat.

"I don't know..."

Odward won't take that answer. Key knows he won't. He sighs, realizing he has no choice.

"Maybe we could practice? At the field?"

It's not really what he wants to do right now. Right now he wants to hole up in his room, cry, and not talk to anyone. But that's not an option.

Bro I think Falco’s gonna kill himself

"WHAT"

"FALCO! WHERE ARE YOU?"

He shoves away any sort of panic. He doesn't have time for his own emotions right now. He has to protect Falco.

Even if Falco isn't going to hurt himself, he can't let Falco hurt anyone else either. Falco wouldn't forgive himself.

Huh. Kind of like...

🍪

The cookie tastes delicious. It reminds him of the times he spent baking with the Knights. And the time he made cookies for Falco. And baking cookies with his dad when he was younger.

It makes him smile.

"Thanks, Sacha. It tastes really good."

Dude he’s tryna kill Lilas now

That's not his Falco. Falco would never do that. Falco may be a jerk sometimes, sure, but not to people he cares about.

And there Key was, stuck in the Goyen's lounge after a near-panic attack. He couldn't help Falco.

He misses Falco.

Eh, I'm sure even if Ragno comes after you for hogging Mite (like he does with anyone who pets her for more than 5 minutes), Goyen Ansell will have a talk with him about sharing and stuff like that. Remember, Mite's the school cat, not Ragno's cat.

"Yeah...I don't want to make Ragno mad at me any more than he normally is, though. I can't handle being yelled at right now..."

The comment almost makes him laugh.

[numberonegorotamafan]

(Hands Key Goyen Ansell's cat) Pet her, Dragon kid. Sure it won't solve all your problems, but at least you won't be alone during these times.

And remember, it's easy to think that you're all alone in painful moments, but you aren't! You've got the Knights, your Goyen, your parents, Pork Roll, Mite, other kids like Skadi & Falco, me and many more! You're loved, kid. Never, ever let pain make you forget that.

"Thanks."

Mite is soft. She's nice. Her purrs make his heart swell.

"...Is Ragno going to come after me for this?"

[numberonegorotamafan]

Key....

Buddy what's going on?

-@porkrollinferno

"I'm fine, Pork Roll."

He's not fine. He's really not. He begins to cry again.
