*she hears him and takes a deep breath, her face still red, looks at him* i-im fine!! p-perfectly good- *her tentacles are writhing around, signaling that she is, in fact, not good* eheheheheh-

*she smiles softly, reaching up and petting his cheek* ofc, hun…..im glad youre feeling a bit better… *she hugs him, petting his head a bit and trying to comfort him* but can you tell me why you were in that state….? its alright if not. im just….curious. *she softly kisses his head*

*she glances at his tail every now and then, trying not to stare, her face still bright red as she purrs loudly* o-okay- raz, are you feeling a bit better now…? at least warmer..? *she gives him a small kiss on the forehead to determine his body temperature*

! *she blushes a deep red, her eyes turning into little exclamation points before looking back down at raz* o-oh-! eheheh- *she feeds raz the last bit, setting the bowl to the side and trying to calm her blush*

*shes still feeding him, but she pauses for a moment, noticing rip out ilof the corner of her eye. she stops and looks at him, wondering why he’s staring* ?…..is everything alright, drip-?

….*she nods, gently pulling raz into her lap* alr…here ya go, bean *she starts to feed him, while also wrapping the blanket around him more to try and assure that hes warm*

…*she come back out of the kitchen after a few moments, carrying a small bowl of some warm soup, she made herself, as well as another heated blanket and some water* here, sweetie- *she sits down on the couch next to raz so that she is on one side of him w rip on the other, and weaps him in the heated blanket, handing him the soup* this should warm you up. and help you get something in your stomach- you look like you havent eaten in ages….*she softly pets his head*

*she walks over to a small fireplace, with a large soft couch in front, and sets raz down on it, wrapping him in a thick fluffy blanket that was sitting on it* Drip- stay with him. make sure he gets warmed up, please- im gonna go make him smth to eat……...*she pecks him on the cheek very quickly before walking around a corner and into a kitchen area*

…….*smacks herself in the head w her tentacle* dammit- ofc *she walks to rip, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers, before sprinting off and appearing in front of a small log cabin, deep in the woods* here we are. *she walks in, still holding his hand*

*her eyes turn sad, her pupils slowly appearing in her eyes and turning into small, squiggly circles, indicating sadness* oh bean…. *she wipes his tears, pulling him to her and pressing his head against her chest(not in an odd way, in a hug), before standing up and turning to rip* Riptide. (full name means she dead serious) where can i get him some food? he needs to eat.

hey- HEY- whoa- *she puts her hands on his cheeks, making him look at her, her brows furrowed* ssshhhh, honey…..its okay….just breathe…..*she caresses his cheeks, her eyes filled with concern, her eyes are a solid, somehow comforting black*

*she picks him up carefully, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him, trying to warm him up* sweetie youre freezing- what were you doing…? *she sets rip down out of her tentacles, looking at him with a worried look*

wha- *she quietly gasps, lifting the blanket and looking at him with confusion and extreme worry* bean…..what are you doing in here alone? its freezing…..*she goes to pick him up, but stops*…may i?

?….. *she walks over, setting a gentle hand on the blanket*

*she blushes a deep red but turns her head so he cant see, saying nothing, and walking into the circus tent* Razberry? you in here, bean?
