Tsubomi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her foot being caught. [color=0072bc]"Yeah, [i]obviously[/i] you're not okay. The thing I'm interested in right now is [i]why[/i] are you not okay."[/color]

A smile, not quite a sneer, but on its way to graduating from the school of contempt, broke out on her face at the twinge of emotional change she felt. Sure, anger wasn't great from Sylvia right now, but it was better than the rest of what the girl was feeling. 

The empath shook her head to clear the meaner of the thoughts she had rising in it from her mind, and replied. [color=0072bc]"If you want, I could [i]actually[/i] kick you. Make it hurt. That's how some people deal with pain in their minds, by replacing it with pain in their body."[/color]

Tsubomi slowly began to pull her foot back so she could set it on the ground once more. [color=0072bc]"To be blunt, though, I'm really just wanting to help you out so you stop radiating emotional turmoil like a nuclear waste site."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Was I supposed to be wearing one?"[/color] Zassou asked. The increase in her thoughts' speed didn't help her when she didn't know why something was incorrect. 

She glanced around the room, still at her increased pace, before turning back to Suki. [color=00aeef]"Is it a holiday today? Or is this part of the wish?"[/color] 

With Haruna's reply came certainty. [color=00aeef]"Mm. It's not just me and Tsubomi, then. Which means... is the wisher a dark girl, or a helpful light one?"[/color] 

A pause that wouldn't fit the role of a sentence ender for her usual pace passed by. [color=00aeef]"One of Snapdragon's friends? Or a jewel? Both?"[/color]

Zassou turned her attention away from her questions and back to Haruna. [color=00aeef]"Is there a light girl who's good at... dreaming?"[/color] Zassou held her hands in front of her face, staring at them to see if they were correct.

[color=00aeef]"Mm. Making dreams come true, maybe. Fantasies? Mind-melding?"[/color] Her thoughts trailed off, only to be pushed aside by her next one. An irritating illusion, spun by a jerk? A jackass? An Eeyore? 

[color=00aeef]"... an egregore?"[/color]
