~Ragatha's POV~

I was eating the food Caine gave us even though we didn't really need to eat anything because this is a digital world after all, but I noticed that Pomni was staring off into space. Poor girl. She must be so sacred. I remember I was like that when it was my first time here. It was so wired...

 I was here longer than Jax I think. It was first Kinger, Zooble, Me, Jax, Gangle, then Kaufmo. 

Kinger and Zooble were here the longest and they're pretty chill about everything. Maybe not that much on Kinger.... I think he's slowly going insane. I'm pretty sure he lost his wife. Queenie was her name, I think. 

I wasn't here when it happened, but he told me how much he missed her and how he wishes he never put on the headset with her because he lost his wife for that matter. He also told me that he thinks the exit is in the Celler sense no one could go in there unless you abstracted... I wouldn't know. I just hope I don't go insane.

I was lost in thought from thinking about Kinger and Queenie but lucky I remember what I was going to do! I got up and went to Pomni and asked if she was okay. Kinger, Jax, and Gangle wouldn't stop arguing. Mostly Jax of course. They kept on going on and on about how he couldn't be hungry, and how we didn't need to eat which was true. 

Pomni really didn't hear me, so I tapped her shoulder which made her jump a little. 

"Sorry about that!" I laughed awkwardly.

"I-it's fine! do you need anything Ragatha?"

"I just wanted to check up on you. You seem lost in thought, and I just wanted to make sure everything was alright?" 

Her pupils got bigger which I found adorable it's like a dog giving you those puppy eyes when they want something.

She nodded while giving me an unsure smile.

"Do you maybe want to take a break from everything and head towards your room perhaps? that could maybe help the nerves" I said a little concerned for her well-being.

"t-that would be nice... thanks-" she said a got up from the table and walked with me towards her room.

We were both walking together. It was very awkward if I must say. The doors and paintings got fixed though. I'm pretty sure Canie fixed it when he fixed me when I was glitching from the whole Kaufmo abstracting thing. 

I honestly feel bad for him. He only got in this place a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it was 4 years, I think. But he already abstracted. We weren't really that close, but he was a "kind of friend but don't really talk to that friend but talk a little to stay on good terms type of relationship."

I was lost in thought again until I felt Pomni touch my arm.

"Huh? Oh." I saw that we were already at her dorm, and I apologized for not paying attention.

"Thanks for walking me Ragatha-" 

"No problem! if you even need me you can come to my room and knock!" I said while smiling. She said "Okay" and headed into her room which just left Me, Myself, and I standing alone in the hallway. 

I figured I would just sit down on the floor and do nothing until Canie gave us another adventure to do if he was going to give us 2 in one day. It was very rare, but it was the only thing that really kept me under control from actually becoming like Kaufmo.

I walked to my door and didn't go inside of my room. Instead, I sat down next on my door and just kept looking at the paintings on the wall. Now that I'm really thinking about it, the paintings look like it has eyes on each one. Now I'm wondering how I never noticed that for how long I've been here. 

I can't even remember. All I know is that it's a long time.

~Jax's POV~

Finally, I was away from the crybaby and that old chess piece. I haven't seen that ragdoll sense I've left her and the jester alone to fend for themselves against Kaufmo. 

I went down the hall with all of our dorms and saw Ragatha sitting down next to her door and staring at all of the painting as if she was trying to figure out something. 

"Yo! doll face what's up with you?" I said while walking closer towards her.

She looked at me before saying "Nothing I'm just staring at the paintings."

"Way to state the obvious huh?" I said while rolling my eyes at her and sitting down next to her.

I feel like she wasn't herself at the moment and was thinking about something important, so I just sat there and waited until she said something or stopped staring at the paintings like the creep she was. 

Actually, she wasn't a creep. I just said that to be mean like always. She's actually the most helpful, calm, and sane person here. Not even Canie is like that. He's just annoying and I was to punch him until he bleeds or something.

"Hey jax"

"Huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her black and button eyes.

"Look at the paintings don't they look like eyes?" she said while pointing at them.

I got up and looked at the paintings up close and they actually do look like eyes. And it's like the rest of them have that too... 

I stared at them more before saying "They look like Caines eyes..." in confusion turning around and looking at her.

"You don't even listen to him, do you? when Pommi showed up, he said that 'he has hundreds of eyes watching us!'" Ragatha laughed a little. 

Her laugh sounded very cute and comforting that I wasn't even paying any attention to what she was saying. I blushed without noticing and she looked at me confused. 

"What?"

"Your blushing...?" She spoke.

I thumped my foot before saying "I have no Idea what you are talking about!" and crossed my arms while side eyeing her.

She looked even more confused and started bursting out laughing.

"What are you laughing about doll face?!" I said while thumping my foot again to show my annoyance and anger towards her.

"Y-you're stomping your f-foot?" she said while having a hard time speaking correctly from all of the laughter.

"I'm not stomping my foot doll face! It's called thumping-" I said while even more annoyed but embarrassed this time. "It's a huge difference!" I side eyed her. She stopped laughing after a few seconds.

"What's the differences Jax?" 

"I thump when I'm annoyed and angry- all bunnies do that" I mumbled.

"Really?"

"Yes, really! I'm a bunny can't you see?" I said while being annoyed thumping my foot again. 

"don't you thump at me!" she said while smiling and getting up to put her hands on her hips.

"and there's more meaning to it so look it up!" I rolled my eyes. "AND It just happens I can't control it" I said in annoyance. 

"I'm leaving doll face-" I said before walking down the hallway off to my room.

"Bye Jax!" she waved at me from behind and went into her own room before closing the door.

I stopped at the middle of the hallway and looked back at her door and smiled. At least I got to cheer her up.

In the most annoying way possible-
