Hey, if you were makin' me feel any sorta way, you'd know. ( she points her index to her head. )

My hair will tell you! It changes colors due to my mood 'cuz the blood stuff.

( jinx then sets her hand back down on the table with a light shrug.)

Has it been a lil' challenging? Sorta. But it's expected in a relationship. Figuring each other out and adapting to one's lifestyle. 'Sides, I love a challenge. Or else I get bored.

( with a smile, the girl playfully sticks out her tongue to the other between her teeth. ) So no more worryin', sweet Rabbit.

[tealeafs]

[ At least Chizuru did see the other girl's hair chance colours before, so it's at least not a total shock to hear this right now.

(It also helps that she definitely knows people back home whose hair changes colour, including her own - though it's not necessarily always a good sign there.) ]

W-Well, but a challenge still sounds-- [ Chizuru starts on the protest, almost sounding a little bit like a whiny guilty puppy.

It still sounds like a lot, she wants to say. She doesn't want to make things difficult for Jinx, she wants to say.

In the end, Chizuru thinks it's not what Jinx would want to hear, so she pushes it down, instead just blushing. ]

I-I'll try to not worry! It's just.. hard, um, because I want you to be happy, so I worry a lot about whether you're happy or not..

[ Not that it's hard to tell by looking at Jinx.

It's just that this girl here is a notorious worrywart. One that's even now fretting a little, though she looks more a touch nervous than anything more serious than that. ]

[opheliac]

And all that worryin' is gonna make you sick. Then I'll have to step in and take care of you. ( a beat as the smile stays. ) Not that I'll mind.

( the girl tilts her head in sudden thought; looking chizuru over while making idly clicking sounds with her tongue. )

We really oughta work on that. The whole anxious thing you got goin'.

( jinx then sits more upright -- now appearing to take this next topic a bit more serious. if she's going to take care and watch over her rabbit from here on out, she needs to find some way to soothe all of her unease feelings about her or her friends. fishing out a marker out of her pocket, the girl hunches over and removes the cap with her teeth. spitting it down on the table, she begins to scribble on the table. )

So! — People's happiness. You're crazy stressin' over that. If you make people happy or not. ( she short hands this then draws and arrow.)

Reassurance is one way to settle it. Vocal and physical. ( then her gaze is up to chizuru. ) Physical does help ya, right? Like if I hug you and junk. Does that calm you down?

[tealeafs]

Um.. S-Sure?

[ Sorry that the initial response isn't exactly the most elaborate or eloquent, Jinx. Chizuru is just staring at the other, looking almost like she's in a daze. A surprised daze, that is, because she sure didn't see any of this coming.

(And a part of her may even be worried about whether or not Jinx is going to get into trouble by scribbling on the table like that, but-- Chizuru doesn't stop her, instead just staring with wide eyes.) ]

I mean, I like hugs either way...

[opheliac]

Okay, hugs! ( she adds that with the verbally and physically column. tapping the end of the marker against her lips, jinx hums thoughtfully then back to chizuru. )

How about the meditation thing? Got a lotta word it's what most people do around here. The breathing and counting. We can do that! And best part? — It can be duel thing!!

( and bonus, maybe they can do it while they cuddle. so in small letters, she writes "cuddle" with the word "meditation". )

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru is quiet, seeming to consider the other's suggestion - even as Jinx is already writing it down herself. It's not that she hasn't heard a lot about it here as well, but.. ]

Would that really help..?

[ If anything, she thinks it mostly seems to make people calm. B-But she is calm already..

.. r-right? ]

Have you ever tried that yourself, Jinx?

[ Hey, Chizuru is fond enough of Jinx that she'd believe it right away if the other said it worked for her. No reason to disbelieve her in the slightest. ]

[opheliac]

Yyyep! I've done it twice so far. The first time I did with Sharon when I was all over the place. The second time was with Pete when he was all over the place.

( on the table, she decides to doodle herself by the word "meditation". her doodle self isn't doing too much in it, just standing with a big grin on her face. )

So how about it, honey bunny? Interested in gettin' into a lil' one on one section with me?

[tealeafs]

I can try.

[ That sounds earnest enough. It's true, after all. Even if Chizuru isn't sure whether it'd help her, the least she can do is try. Especially when Jinx thinks that it's worth a try in the first place.

So that's an easy agreement from the girl. The only thing she asks - though it sounds curious more than reluctant in any way - is just: ]

What was it like? Um, meditating, I mean.

[ Hey, if Jinx has the experience, she might as well share. So Chizuru can adequately prepare herself. ]

[opheliac]

( she looks up at her question then muses quietly to herself. how to explain meditation? jinx taps the end of the marker against her lip again. )

Well, it relaxed me and everything washes off of me. Also a lil' fuzzy, too? I mean I felt fuzzy afterwards.

You start off by sitting or lie down in one spot and you breathe really slowly. And all you do is think about your breathing. Don't think about anything else. If you do think about something, you sorta picture your breath like a tiny circle and it's gettin' big and small each time you take a breath.

[tealeafs]

[ Well, that doesn't sound bad. Maybe trying to think of nothing - or just of some sort of circle - might be a little hard in practice, but.. it doesn't sound undoable, that's for sure. ]

Oh, alright.

[ So she takes in that information with a nod, though she then instead turns her expression into a faint smile as she glances up from the words scribbled all over the table, instead looking at Jinx. ]

But.. you know, if we're doing that together, we won't even know the other is there. [ It's just a tiny joke - since they're not supposed to think of anything, you know? ]

[opheliac]

And to THAT my cutie lil' Rabbit, is why we will hold hands. Easy fix, right?

( there's a sly wiggle eyebrow to the other girl as she leans on forward. jinx crosses her arms over the table then lets her head rest along them like a pillow. )

So! — Questions! Gotta any for me? Ask 'em now or you'll never get a chance ever again. The clock is tickin'.
