Third Times The Charm! [Private: Ikari/Ryo]

Despite Ikari's rather lax reaction to her situation, and her hunger, she did notice Ryo's reaction to how the woman acted when she woke up. The Danava looked at Ryo for a bit as she took the chips from her, opening up the bag with only that familiar sound of separating material. Afterwards, Ikari rose from the bed she was in and, without much prompting, sat herself into Ryo's lap. She crossed her legs and gave the woman a more sincere look, a much more serious look.

"If you want to talk, Ryo. Then just say so. If you're worried about me, then just say so. I had enough relief come about me when you woke up, even if you were recklessly fighting another tough hollow alone; AGAIN. I was hoping to handle this conversation after I had some food in my belly, but I don't think it should wait. So..."

Ikari snacked on a few chips before she looked at Ryo seriously, those eyes of hers boring into Ryo's red eyes; whether or not she made eye contact. And yes, indeed, personal space was clearly an alien concept to the danava. After Ikari ate a few more chips, even offering some to Ryo just in case, the Kitsune eventually dusted off the bag. She crumpled it up, and tossed it towards a nearby trashcan. it landed within the trashcan with barely a sound before Ikari's stern gaze fell upon Ryo. It may be a bit odd, coming from the carefree Kitsune... But those purple eyes bore into Ryo quite excellently.

"What would you like to talk about then, Ryo? Because if we're to get upon the subject of your recklessness, I'll gladly provide you an earful. The worry I had for you upon seeing that hollow about to gobble you up... Me using up so much energy was an act of desperation. I was scared, terrified that you were going to die. Perhaps it wasn't right for me to put my tired self upon you like that... But I wasn't about to let you die or suffer from your wounds."

Frankly speaking, Ikari hadn’t really expected Ryo to shut down the way she did. Perhaps she was being a little hard on the woman… but when you cared for someone, you are often a little hard on them. Why? Because you expect more of them than you would of others. However, Roy’s silence softened Ikari’s sternness. The Kitsune adjusted herself carefully and gently took Ryo’s face in her hands. She smiled warmly and gently pressed her forehead against Ryo’s own forehead. She held that for as long as Ryo would permit, or until it felt right to stop.

“Then, let me tell you this; I’m sorry I caused you to worry about me. But I won’t regret what I did. I refuse to lose you. So…”

Ikari looked into Ryo’s eyes, and hoped Ryo would do the same. Ikari smiled warmly still before she moved her arms and hands to drape around Ryo’s neck and shoulders.

“All I ask is that you try to be safer. There’s no need to fight alone, ya know~ You could take me with you; safety in numbers and all~ I’d like to go with you, actually…~”

Ikari smiled warmly at Ryo before she hugged the woman warmly. Afterwards, Ikari stayed in Ryo’s lap until the woman was told otherwise. She was quite comfy here, and Ryo felt warm… Her desire to not move was growing by the moment. Ah, but so was her hunger. The Kitsune did her best to ignore her hungry tummy until she knew Ryo was going to be alright. After all, if Ryo wanted to talk, they could talk. Then afterwards they could get a whole bunch of food~!
