Chrys gave Toby a small hug from behind. She was still quiet and lingered for a bit.

Tense only for a moment, Toby gave Chrys a tiny smile, his cheeks turning a soft pink. Then he continued his game, powering through several more levels and racking up an impressive score before surrendering the rest of Pac-Man's lives. They had been there for a while, and given his experience, it could have gone on much, much longer. Didn't want to keep his companion waiting for him.

Chrys gave a small blushing smile as she let go. "Feel better?" She asked.

Toby stepped away from the machine, smiling at Chrys and rubbing his hands. "Yeah... it... felt good to get back to my roots, so to speak. I... I haven't had much cause to not worry in a while."

Chrys nodded. Part of her wanted to ask what the heck was the red head's problem but she knew better than to dig too deep.

Toby rubbed his neck as he started walking. "Sorry about... what happened back there. I-I've only talked to Enlightenment once, and... let's just say it wasn't a very good first impression."

"Enlightenment.... what kind of name is that? And I don't blame you... she rubs me the wrong way too."

"All Præt'nos have names based off of moods or states of being," Toby halfheartedly explained. "Enlightenment, Sanguine, Melancholic, Resentment... Y-You get the idea. I don't know why that's how they get their names, but... obviously, I'm kind of an exception to that rule."

Chrys gave a confused look. "So... you're an unlinked praentos?" She asked the confusion was definitely showing in her voice.

Toby shrugged. "Like I said... I don't really know. Præt'nos are created from lost souls of the deceased; in a way, they are undead. I was born like a human, I grew up like a human... I just so happen to have the same powers as them despite being... well... alive. And disconnected from their hive mind."

Chrys nodded. "Hey. You're you. And not one being can change that," she offered.

Toby's smile returned. "Not sure what that means for me... but hey, it's not like I'm trying to be anything else."
In a rather daring move, especially for him, Toby gently took Chrys's hand, locking her fingers with his. "So... how about that movie?"

Chrys smiled and gently squeezed his hand. "So... I guess we can call this a date then?" She asked with a smile as she blushed a bit.

With a much more prominent blush, Toby's smile turned more meek, awkward... and perhaps somewhat enamored. "Um... Yeah, I guess so. I'm... I'm just having fun with it. ...More fun than I've had in a long time."

Chrys smiled. "Thank you," she offered.
