[Humans sleep at night, right? It seemed like the best time to try leaving his room, at least, considering from what he'd seen most of the residents here weren't nocturnal, or so he thought.

He's going to open his door slowly, leaning out of his room and examining the hallway outside; all clear from what he could tell, soooo he'll step outside as quickly as he can without making any noise and head downstairs.

Mainly because with everything going on, he was too caught up in his own stuff to remember you could wish for stuff here, namely food, resulting in his hunger finally getting to him.

Then once he finally gets to the kitchen, he's totally raiding everything. If he picks up something he doesn't like, he'll just put it back and keep looking, otherwise he'll finish whatever the hell it was he picked up cause it was more than likely delicious.]

[ooc: because being able to avoid your loss by hanging around in your room is lame, I'm throwing him on out there. Hallways on the way down or the kitchen itself, your choice, but this troll clearly needs to be bothered in the most awkward situation ever]

[...he's actually doing such a terrible job at this that even he can't believe Nepeta is still going with it.

But there's not much time to think about it because holy shit affectionate much. On so many levels he's equally okay with it and just wants her to cut it the fuck out.

Feferi wouldn't stop her though, would she? No, she'd probably not.

Then Nepeta probably won't be too happy if she finds out she's doing this all to what is technically Eridan.

Gah, confusing. And amidst all of this introspection he's forgotten to say or do anything in response, just sort've there...thinking in silence. Whoops..]

[Eventually Nepeta pulls away, but little tiny things are starting to stand out. Like her silence, and her reluctance to hug back. Carefully Nepeta just sort of slides off of her and sits beside her on the floor.]

Are you feeling okay? Are you on some sort of loss?

[He'll sit up after she gets up and shake his head.]

I'm fine. Look, I just...

[In truth, this is starting to get really tiring, desperately attempting to convince people when in truth you can't even remember to do all those damned fish puns, let alone try and act anything like Feferi.

It's taking it's toll somewhat, and he's exhausted of it by this stage.

So he'll...just sigh, and rub his forehead in a really exasperated manner.]

Okay. Okay, look.

There is somethin' goin' on. An' I may have been deceivin' you in order to keep it a secret..well, fuckin' tryin' to, I swear this whole upbeat optimistic shit is harder than I thought it'd be.

I'm startin' to realize it's impossible for me to pull this off so I'm gonna tell you what's goin' on 'cause tryin' at this point is just exhaustin' an' whatever the fuck.

[Deeeeeeeeeep breath...and exhale.]

It is a loss.

And...I'm not really Feferi.

I'm actually...uh...Eridan.

[Oh. Well this just became impawssibly awkward.

Nepeta's a bit torn between flinging herself away upon reflex and not, because that probably wouldn't make Eridan feel too good, especially while he's on a loss.

But the problem with deciding how to react is that she mostly just stares at him for a solid minute before saying anything.]

...Oh...

[Well at least she's used to feeling awkward around Eridan...~~then again who isn't~~]

If you, eh...y'knoww just wwanna fuckin' leavve like right noww I'd get it.

I didn't exactly wwanna...uh, have this kinda scenario happen anywway.

It's... um.

[IT'S WEIRD. But probably not the weirdest thing to ever happen. And he's probably really lonely and uncomfortable. Not that he's ever not lonely and uncomfortable, but tacking on a loss is hard.

It's hard and everyone understands at this point.

She reaches out and places a hand on his shoulder.]

There, there? [SHE'S TRYING]

[...wow what is even going on.

He actually gets more confused and flustered when people are nice in any way, shape or form to him.

Still it doesn't feel bad, just...strange.]

...thanks?

...

I, uh, appreciate it at least. Y'know, the whole not making this feel any more awkward than it already is bit I mean.

It's pawfully awkward, but I know what it's like. Actually, I don't know what it's like to be stuck in someone else's body, but I do know what a loss feels like.

[She sighs]

It could be worse! I'm not really sure how, though.

Were any a' yours ever worse than this?

No, not really.

[Being a cat was less of a loss and more of a gain for her.]

But it's still okay! Before you know it, you'll be back in your own body.

[Geez these are such awkward to tell someone.]
