Rin
Joe was trying to smooth over the situation, and Jeanne was trying to help, but their words just grated on Rin almost like salt on an open wound.
So she carried the dishes to the kitchen, scraped the left overs in the trash, and then sat them at the sink. She put on her apron and gloves before turning the water on hot. The steam that rose from the faucet formed fanciful eddies in the air conditioned room that she idly watched for a moment.
Maybe this was a bad idea, she thought as she started to scrub,Maybe a normal guy like him shouldn't mix with a magus like me. Or maybe he should just fucking apologize about the blunder instead of trying to make me feel better with stupid flattery that just kind of really sounds hollow right now!
Roderick
I think I'm just being ignored here . . . Roderick thought as he shoulders slumped. It was an odd feeling, this rejection, even if it wasn't intentional it was obvious. The only other time he'd felt anything like this even though it was to a greater degree when he'd first met his twin sister and she told him point blank that he wasn't her brother despite all the obvious signs that he was.
It gnawed at the pit of his stomach ever so slightly and he looked away from the exuberant blonds, even though they were a nice sight, and sighed.
He wondered if he should teleport away, just vanish.
Then his eyes widened as Animusphere's words set in. Then he chuckled and said, "Any decent cleric would be able to bring her back from the dead. Is Resurrection not common where you are from? A powerful enough wizard or cleric could easily bring her back to flesh and blood. Or are you more powerful in this familiar form?"
Forest
Forest grinned and said, "Just because you can copy my powers doesn't mean you can copy my skill. I can defend myself if you get too rowdy."
Or, I can just bite you until you pass out from blood loss and orgasm overload, Forest thought to herself, even though she really didn't want it to go that far.
