Riley Matthews Girl Meets World Rainbow Lark of Takshaka in Kyriakos. A wide-eyed, little, goofball, weirdo who only sees the best in everyone. This is an all purpose post for psls, Echo visits, whatever. PLAY WITH ME.
[No that's too much logic. Maya's worked really hard to not think about her beliefs too closely.]
No -- it's not like that at all! I'm just trying to protect you, you doof. Right now, you smell like a big juicy steak to like half the people who live here.
Yeah, I get that. [Because that's part of why all the people here
are staring at Maya, isn't it? It's part of what's kind of more than a
little terrifying to him.] What about you?
[Not that he doesn't have utter faith in his friends-- he does. And
he'd never run away from Maya, he's similar to Riley in that respect, but
this has to be hard for her, right?]
[Uh. Yeah. That. That does sound like a thing and he quiets because
there's only so many ways to answer that. And how do you answer that?
Let's. Pull a leaf out of Cory's book.]
It already is weird. [ No "in case you didn't notices" needed since, well, she's lived it. ] It's not that I think you're my friend any less, but you can't really pretend things are still the same. Or won't change. Because they will, they already have. So it's not about favors, it's about being there together.

They'll get here eventually. You came.
[She's got nothing for the other problem. She falls silent, agitated.]

[ HE'S BARELY OKAY HERE. and they're a lot alike. and he's only bokay because nothing's happened to him yet. ]

[She shifts, scrambling for something more.]
I've seen unicorns here. She'll be fine.
no subject
You know Riley cares more than just about unicorns.
[ Like her family and cute things and growing up and being a princess. She can't be a princess here. ]
no subject
....Fine. So she doesn't need to be here. I get it.

It's not even all that terrible. You're not giving it a chance.
no subject
Should you even be around me?
no subject
What? Of course I can be around you. Why would you even ask that?
no subject
no subject
And even if you found a way to stay human, I'd still keep you around. I don't care what they think.
no subject
So from what you're saying then, no, you shouldn't be around me. If a place was really great, you'd be allowed to be around your friends.

I eat enough. So it doesn't bother me. It's only bad if you're hungry.

Yeah. Okay.
no subject
But whatever you end up needing, I'll get it for you, okay? You'll never have to catch your own.

Way to make thins ten times worse. ]
That's reassuring. What about you? [Because, really, why should she have to suffer?]
no subject
What about me? I'm an old pro at this, okay? Just shut up and let me do a friend a favor. You don't have to make it all weird.

[Eye contact is hard. Like super hard.]
no subject
[YOU ARE NOT HELPING ANYTHING HERE, MAYA. Because he gives a breath and makes a face and wow, panicking would be easy right now.]
Maybe I want to make sure you don't have to change either, Maya.
[Not 'anymore' that sounds bad, but he doesn't. He wants to help her.]
