✪ Thunder! Thunder!! ✪ [Video]

[The device is turned on, adjusted, and then shows Cube's face.]

Ah, good evening, Discedo. I do hope you're all keeping dry.

Does anyone have any recommendations for living quarters? As much as I like where I am, I believe it's about time to-

[A flash of bright light fills the room as a loud crack of thunder follows. Not a second later, the little demon is knocked over by a blur of red and yellow. The communicator falls to the floor and slides to reveal Flandre clinging to Cube quite tightly.]

F-Flandre-chan! L-Let go! Too tight-- ack!

Le tonnerre, le tonnerre!

[Cube reaches for the communicator, gagging and trembling with all his strength to type something while the vampire has him in a death grip. Rather than send what he typed, the feed clicks off.]

Y'know, I've always kinda thought that if someone's that big and strong, it's probably better to just stay outta their way.

Mostly.

[loyal_cube]

Eh? W-What are you suggesting?!

Flandre-chan simply doesn't understand her own strength.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Nothing, I'm not suggesting anything.

[ He mostly wasn't, actually. ] I'm sure she doesn't.

[video]

[loyal_cube]

I hope not. After all, leaving Flandre-chan alone when she is in need of comfort would be cruel.

It still makes this difficult. I wish I was stronger, or something.

[video]

[bauhinia]

She's scared of the storm, yeah?

Hey, don't beat yourself up. You're helping out, so that's the important part.

[video]

[loyal_cube]

Yes. It seems the thunder is frightening her the most. Every time it sounds she hugs me. [Hug as in DEATH SQUEEZE]

I suppose so. I tried to explain to her that without storms, things like spring can't properly happen... however, I'm afraid it only upset her more. She seems to prefer winter.

Perhaps I could block the lightning, but that won't stop the thunder. [he could really use a magical item right about now.]

[video]

[bauhinia]

Can you play her some music or make noise so she won't hear it?

I dunno, that might help more when it's not storming. When it's on, I bet all she wants is for it to go away.

[loyal_cube]

Ah, I don't know that I could play music. I don't know how to play any instruments, and even if I did I don't possess any.

I wish we had one of those music players my previous mistress owned...

I wish I could take her far away but I'm sure it's far more dangerous out there than in here.

However, perhaps you're right. I need to find something distracting...

[bauhinia]

I've got something here. [ He tilts the video around here and there until it falls on a pipa in the corner. ]

Think that'd help? I can play it.

[video]

[loyal_cube]

Oh!

Y-yes. Could you?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Sure thing. [ He sets the comm on the armrest of the couch where he's sitting and picks up the stringed instrument. The song he plays is simple, but hopefully it'd be enough to keep her attention. ]
