[If she goes back to get the food, will he try to get out of bed the second she's not watching him? -She decides she'll trust him to stay put.]

I can get the food. After you've messaged Floyd and Jade, try to get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up.

[Even if he wants to try to get up again, there's a chance that he would just end up in a pile of useless limbs on the floor because of no longer having human legs, just all tentacles here. As such he has no choice but to lie here until he can do something about that.]

Mm... [there's a pause, before he glances to her again with a frown] My apologies, once again, for this awkward display putting off our dinner plans.

You don't have to apologize to me for being exhausted. We'll have dinner some other time.

[She's way more concerned about him than about her plans having been changed.]

-I'll be right back, getting the food won't take long. Love you.

[Still, despite being told he doesn't have to apologize, he can't help but hunch in his shoulders a little here--he can't help but feel, well, lame, for having such an embarrassing event occur in the form of losing control over his octomer form. It's honestly kind of a relief that no one else except Eva or Jade saw it, if it had happened in front of other students, Azul might have legitimately had a freak out over it.

Still, it's far too easy to accidentally get too deep into his own head thinking about how pitiful and stupid he must look even if logically he knows that Eva does not think that of him in this state... but, he takes a breath, and manages to calm down for a moment as he responds sincerely.]

Okay... I love you too.

[She blows him a kiss, and then out she goes to fetch the food from the kitchen. Ideally, she won't run into anyone on the way there, or if she does, the tweels who she can be honest about the situation with. This shouldn't take too long...]

[She does run into a tweel eventually--specifically, Floyd, who comes sprinting from around another corner and just barely refrains from crashing right into her.]

"Hey! Jade told me that something was happening with Azul, something about popping a tentacle?"

[Oh hey, the tweels use the same wording Eva did from earlier, good to know that great minds think alike??]

[Thank goodness for her excellent reflexes, honestly.]

Oh, Floyd. -Yeah, he's super worn out and started sprouting tentacles in the middle of making dinner. I've committed him to bedrest for right now.

"Aww man, are you telling me I already missed getting to see all of them popping out like that? That sucks, I wanted to see what that looked like as it was happening..."

[... Gee, thanks Floyd.]

"Do you know if he said anything about if the Lounge is still gonna be open tonight?"

[She can't really judge him, it did look very cute.]

He said he was going to message you instructions for what to do in his absence, so I assume so. -Also, like, does the Lounge close for anything short of a calamity? I figured he'd say something like, 'as long as there are enough customers to make a profit then the lounge is open' or something like that.

"... Yeah, you're not wrong about that, he totally is the type that would insist that it should still be open. Even that one time when--oh, speak of the devil."

[Floyd's phone suddenly buzzes, and with a lazy gesture he fishes it out of his pocket to check his messages, and sighs.]

"Yep, there it is. Sounds like he's going to throw a fit if I try to skip out and visit him in his squishy Azul state instead of working... unless maybe I can get Jade to cover me..."

He'll still be mad, I don't know if it's worth it. But you've seen him squishy before, right? It's just that but in a bed and grumpy.

[Nothing huge, in her opinion.]

[And just like that, it seems that Floyd is experiencing one of his mood swings as he actually pouts at that, and pokes at Evangeline's shoulder here as he speaks.]

"Yeah, but it's been soooooo long since we got to see him squishy! You're the only one he seems to ever be willing to be seen in his better form for anymore!"

Sorry, girlfriend privileges. You could try flirting with him about it and see if that works, but he might just think it's weird coming from you.

"Yeah, that would be super weird... but it would be really funny to see the look on Azul's face if I actually tried one of your lines on him like that, Anglerfishie! In fact, I should try it when Jade's around too, he'd enjoy the opportunity to fluster Azul as well..."

[Oh no what have you done Eva, he's absolutely going to try to flirt with Azul just for shits and giggles to see what happens...]

[On the one hand, she should probably regret putting this idea into his head. On the other hand:]

Please do that when I'm around too, that sounds hilarious.

"You got it!"

[There's suddenly a buzz of a phone again... but this time it's Evangeline's phone, with a text from Azul.]

Yu've ben gon while. where r u?

[... man Azul must be really not feeling well if his texting is starting to look this sloppy as opposed to his usual formal texts.]

[Aww, that's cute. She's definitely saving this text.]

Talking to Floyd, sorry. I'll be back soon.

Well, Azul misses me, so I better hurry up. I'll see you later, Floyd.

[Floyd gives a lazy wave, letting her go as he finally saunters off in the direction of Mostro Lounge. Evangeline should be able to get the food from the school's main kitchens where they had been cooking and come back to Octavinelle without running into anyone else, thankfully.

Upon arriving back to Azul's room, however, Azul is no longer lying on the bed... there is, however, a trail of what looks like ink that appears to be on the bed and trailing over the side and under the bed... it looks like someone tried to squeeze themselves under the bed looking for a tight dark spot to be in.]

[When she gets back, she has to try very hard not to giggle.]

Hmmm, where could my handsome boyfriend have gone off to?

[Peeking underneath the bed.]

[It's kind of hard to see much under here given... the amount of tentacles taking up space trying to fit his whole body under the bed, but after a moment there's a shifting of movement, and the tentacles move out of the way enough to allow Azul's eyes to be seen. It seems more of his octopus traits have come out during Eva's absence, such as how the pupils of his eyes have narrowed slightly to appear more octopus-like than human, his innate magic causing them to glow a sort of ethereal blue in the darkness under the bed.]

... Oh. Good, you're back.

[Oooh, her extra handsome boyfriend. It really is a shame he's like this because he's tired and stressed, she can't properly appreciate it like she would otherwise.]

Here I am. Sorry to keep you waiting.

You don't have to apologize. It's okay...

[One of his tentacles slips out under the bed, sliding across one of her hands in a gesture that conveys that he is pleased having her back, despite his words. He'll come back out... in a minute. Maybe two. He doesn't really have the energy to do it right this second.]

Was... was the food alright? It was still there and able to be taken care of, right?

It was all fine and taken care of, don't worry.

[She gives his tentacle a gentle, reassuring squeeze.]

You can just relax now.

Okay.

[There's a bit of a lull in silence, the only sound being his tentacles sliding about here and there, before he speaks again, this time sounding sheepish.]

I, ah... I can explain why I'm under here. It's not because of cowardice or anything like that.

[Though she probably doesn't actually need to be told that, but he assumes that she's probably wondering why he's hiding under the bed regardless.]

Oh, no, I didn't assume that. -Sometimes it's nice to be squeezed, right? Like a weighted blanket or a tight hug? Unless I'm totally off base.

[That's why she would crawl underneath a bed, anyway.]
