Mia wrapped her arm protectively around Simon.
"So… what do you want me to do?" Astral glanced up again, hands at his side. He wanted to make it real too.

“I-I don’t know.” He said, his hopes crushed a bit now, honestly.

Mia stared at Astral as the god lowered his gaze.
"O-Okay…"

“Can you give me time to think about it…please?” He asked softly. Because honestly, he didn’t know what he wanted. He wanted things to be better but he didn’t even know what ‘better’ would look like.

Astral nodded slowly.
"Yes, of course…" the god turned, taking the door handle and moving to leave.

“Thank you, for coming in here..” he said after a moment, before Astral could leave.

Astral paused, just barely looking up enough to see Simon.
"I… you're welcome…"

Simon nodded, leaning back in bed again, silent permission for Astral to leave. He wasn’t looking anywhere near Mia, or squeezing her hand like he normally would. He knew she was trying to protect him but…well- he was just upset.

(Torin's not getting out of his spirit breaking Jar experience~)

Astral pulled away, letting out a breath as he closed the door and left.
Mia watched him go, her hand giving Simon's a squeeze.
"We have to be careful."

“I know.” He said quietly, pulling his hand away from hers. He didn’t want to have to be careful. He just wanted things to be better already.

Mia pulled her hand to her chest some when Simon pulled away. She looked to the side, letting out a breath.
"You told me to make sure you didn't trust him too quickly," she pointed out. "I've… I've already seen him trick you into believing everything was okay once, Simon, I… I don't want to have to watch it happen again…" Mia really was just worried for Simon, in the end.

“I-I know….” he said softly, looking down at his lap. “I just…I want it so bad. I know that’s stupid but I…I just want it.” He said, sniffling softly as he reached a hand up, wiping off some rapidly appearing tears on his sleeve.

Mia moved to gently hug Simon, rubbing his back.
"I… I want it too," she said, "But we have to be so careful. I want you to be happy, Simon, but it's going to take time."

Simon didn’t respond. At the moment he almost felt…angry with her. He didn’t want to be careful. He didn’t want to have to doubt everyone’s true intentions around every turn. He knew she was just looking out for him but he wasn’t used to living like this.

(Do I smell a fight coming? >:3)

Mia fell quiet as well, pulling away from Simon. She was just trying to help him, the way he'd told her to even. They had to doubt everything, because they were dealing with a god here, one who'd tricked and hurt people for centuries.

((I mean idk maybeeeeeee))
((Ooooooh good drama idea. I mean Simon’s definitely gonna try and rush things mostly because I have very little patience lmao))

“I’m sorry.” He said after a moment. “I’m just…I’m not used to this. I usually just do whatever I want. No ones ever there to warn me about the consequences.”

(I don't have much either, aha, why make them wait out the entire healing process when they could give in a bit too early and have a harder time while still doing cuddles?)
(Astral's trying to not rush but he'll fail if he's pushed to)

"It's okay, Simon. It'll take some time to get used to this." Mia let out a soft breath, turning to face Simon fully.

((Exactlyyyyyyyy))
((Oof sorry Astral :’) ))

He nodded, looking up at her. “I’m sorry for getting upset, I know you’re just watching out for me.”

Mia nodded slowly, still looking at Simon with concern.
"I'm sorry, too, I shouldn't push you too much with this."

“No, no, it’s okay. You weren’t pushing too much.” He reassured. “I just need to keep an open mind.”

"Okay, then…" Mia didn't look away, her hands folding in her lap. She was… tired, from Astral coming, even if she'd just woken up.
