Oki shook her head gently. "I don't think there's anything anyone can do, Fukurou," Oki said softly. "But thank you."

Fukurou sighed. "I... can bake brownies?" he offered... "Not for you," he said to Ruu who once again perked up at the sound of food...

Oki offered him a weak smile. "Thanks Fukurou, but that's alright. I tend to stop eating when things like this happen."
She remembered when Baoh ad charged into her room to force her to eat, and nearly broke down again. She balled her hands into fists as she fought back the tears.

Fukurou didn't know what was going on and he seemed awkward, not knowing if he should hug her or not. It's what they did in his books to comfort people, but the touch of another man, since that seemed to be the trouble, might hurt her more... and Fukurou stood there with his arms held partially out, debating whether to hug her or not, awkwardly...

"I guess this is that "could be worse" we had talked about," Oki said softly. This wasn't what she had had in mind. This was worse than she had had in mind.

Fukurou decided, and he put his arms around Oki. "But we also talked about how every lull had a hill to climb, and you had to go up from here..." he tried to comfort her, but had no idea of how...

Oki buried her face in Fukurou's chest and cried quietly. "I don't know if I can."

Fukurou felt very awkward right now, but he would see it through for Oki's sake... "It may look like that now... but you will," he said with confidence in her...

Hesitantly, Fukurou slowly rubbed Oki's back, hardly even touching her at all, thinking it was incredibly inappropriate for him to be so close to a woman he was not courting...

Oki swallowed hard, sensing Fukurou's discomfort.
"You don't have to do this, Fukurou," she said softly. "I'll pull myself back together... eventually."

Fukurou took the opertunity to let Oki go and lean back into his own space... "I'm affraid I am not very good at comfort, Ok... But you may still feel free to cuddle the... ... hell... out of that little fluff ball in your lap..." Fukurou was blushing madly at the use of the inappropriate word...

Oki nodded. "I likely will until Suoh gets here."
She wasn't even sure if he'dcome...

"If it puts you at all at ease, I will remain with you until then as well," Fukurou offered, but also wouldn't outstay his welcome if Oki wanted to be alone right now...

"You don't have to stay, Fukurou. I'm fine here. This... this is my home, and I know you're not a big fan of being indoors. I should probably try to clean that glass up any way."
