Fuck this.

"Get out of the fucking way, I'm going back to my room."

Bad move, Yuugi. Bad. Move.

"...huh?" Yuugi blinked down at her. "What's up? Thought you were enjoying the party." The question was like her toll for letting Parsee through. Though it was more like she didn't realize she was blocking the door in the first place.

"You're an idiot." Parsee growled, counting that as her answer as she attempted to rush past. She was in an awful hurry... and embarrassed to the core. People were giggling in the background at the sight.

Being insulted is nothing new, but usually people tell her what she did wrong so she can... well, okay, she rarely fixes her behaviors but at least she can see her blunders coming! Sort of. She's not too bright in that respect.

Yuugi brings her arms up to push herself back and out of the doorway without scraping the top with her horn. The big girl pockets her hands and just sort of follows after Parsee with long, easy strides. "A shame to cut out early..."

"Well you're welcome to go back to it. In fact, go ahead and do that. I don't want you following me, you oafish jackass." Parsee snapped, though her voice shook as she did so. And a sniffle came as well. It wasn't long before she was outside, trying her best not to look at Yuugi.

It was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. The party, the dress, Yuugi, the stares from her 'fellow mutants', her... it was all stupid.

Yuugi scratched the back of her neck. "Why'd you dress up, though? Someone was gonna notice." Like her, Ms. 'Wears P.E. Clothes All Day Erry Day'. They were the easiest thing to fit into, and were cheap. She needs no fancy get-ups, as most things would just be weird on a frame like hers anyhow.

For Yuugi. But like hell was she going to say that after that display the giant had put on. If she was too stupid to get it, it was her own fault. Parsee just shuddered and kept walking. Though it was obvious, even to Yuugi, by now that the girl was definitely Not Okay... and likely on the verge of another irrational fit.

She's definitely picking up on something, even if it's just in the girl's body language. Yuugi scratched her head and picked up the pace a bit, so she could practically lean right over one of Parsee's shoulders as they walked. "...was it something I said?"

"You fuckin think so?!" Parsee snapped, her voice breaking under strain. Really, a lot of this could be resolved if she just told Yuugi what was wrong... but some stubborn part of herself that refused to show anything that might remotely justify Yuugi's words at the party, or the idea that she was worthy of those words at all.

"I do, now." As if Yuugi wasn't considering it up until that second, because she probably wasn't. Straightforward as always, all she could do was shrug a shoulder. "Don't really know what I'd be apologizing for, so I won't."

"I'm not spelling this out for you!" Parsee growled, turning to face Yuugi, finally. Her make-up was running... make-up she wore for Yuugi in the first place.

"You know how I am... and you went and opened your stupid fucking mouth anyways..."

And yet, when they stopped, Parsee was doing exactly that because god knows Yuugi needs things spelled out for her sometimes. It takes her a moment to rewind the chains of events and, even then, a moment more.

"Can't expect me to not say something. People need to know when their work's appreciated, ya know?" Gesturing. "Like you when your makeup's not a mess. Why ruin a pretty look like that?" It's not said in a critical tone at all. More that Yuugi's a little disappointed that Parsee's on the path to another episode.

She leans in, and tucks one hand into the sleeve, turning it inside-out to reveal the soft white lining of her windbreaker since she has no convenient handkerchief. "Here... I hate seeing you get like this."

"No one needs to know that. All you did was make them stare at me." Parsee almost pulled away... but she realized it was futile. And Yuugi still had it in her head that she was being nice. That idiot...

Yuugi grinned a bit as she helped wipe up that mess. "Can't make people do anything they were already doing." Which means she might have been aware of a couple of other people whose eyes were already on Parsee. She wouldn't lie about that.

Wrong thing to say. "Then why would you make it worse?!" Parsee snapped, eyes flashing dangerously.

She pulled away, thrusting that hand back out of its sleeve. "And what if someone else said it, instead?" What was Parsee going to do — lash out at someone who couldn't take it like Yuugi could?

"The point is that YOU did it!" Parsee snapped again, turning back around to continue her originally planned storming off.

Yuugi rose up and just put her arms out to her sides. "...well, yeah. But that doesn't answer my question."

She looks after the girl, but it's clear she won't be getting anywhere with this conversation. Again. Maybe she really should just go back to the party.
