[This just happened. Yotsuba and Neji are in a safe place with no robots now; nonetheless, she is looking shaken up and despondent.

Today is not the most enjoyable day.]

[...... lol. Shakes his head gently at her]

You don't have to worry about what it means. But it sounds like he did try to hurt you.

If he wants to do something like that, you shouldn't try to talk to him anymore. Okay?

[404leafclover]

I won't. I... I'm never talking to him ever again! He... he's just... waahhhh!

[TEARFUL HUG TIMES NOW]

[unguilded]

[... oh hugs :( HUGS FOREVER, he is hugging her back pretty tightly]

It's okay, Yotsuba.

If he ever tries to hurt you again-- or if you get scared, you know where my cabin is, right? The one with the water around it and the garden in the back. Lucciola is there, too, if you can't find me.

[404leafclover]

Okay. I'll stay away from him, a-and it's okay because he's big so I can see him from far away. So I can run. So I'll run and run to you and your guardian angel...

But... but if he tries to hurt you too, you can fly away, okay? You don't need to protect me. I don't want you to be hurt, Dio...

[unguilded]

[wait me and my what]

[not bothering with wondering about right now, though. Instead, leaning back a bit with a small smile] Of course. I can definitely fly away and get away fast! I won't let him hurt me or you. I promise.

[404leafclover]

[you and your husbando]

Okay... um.

[holding out her hand]

[unguilded]

[holding his hand back out to her]

[shaking!]

It's a promise! 'Cause this is how adults do it.

[unguilded]

Mmm! [nods and shakes back]

Are you feeling a little better, now?

[404leafclover]

Uh-huh... because I have the best friends.

[unguilded]

I'm glad.
