“Everything seems easier with you.” She muttered, eyes flickering to his. “The world in my head isn’t as scary. The world outside might be, but not inside. You make me less scary. And I love that.”
I don’t know what I’m doing but I wanna use this character (OxO| Closed)

Tali’s grin seemed to grow. He wasn’t sure how to take such loving and kind phrases but he did know it was exactly what he felt too. “I feel the same way with my inner world. But you make me feel more humane. I feel like I’m really not as bad as I think I am.”
“You’re biased. You’re going to feel that way. I’m not, so I can see who you are.” Osora stated simply, incredibly sure. When you’d seen evil, when you’d looked it in the eyes and smiled, it was easy to spot it in people. Tali had made mistakes, but he wasn’t a horrible person. “And you’re incredible, safe and warm and deserving of the world.”
group
Tali burst into a small fit of giggles, shaking his head lightly so as not to disrupt their position. “I’m more then relieved that you think I’m not lame. But you yourself are loving and caring and deserving of the world and more.”
"Of course you're not lame. You're one of us now, furthest thing." Osora said, nose scrunching slightly like she was trying to smile. "The world and more might be a bit much for me. Can I just work towards deserving you, instead? That's close enough to the world."
group
Tali dramatically gasped and pretended to look shocked. “Me? Not lame? And your world? No way. This is too improbable. But say I agreed to that, and say I told you that you already deserve me, what would you reply?”
Osora huffed a laugh, and for the briefest moment, her expression cracked into a smile. "I'd say you were definitely wrong about that. But I'd tell you that I'm going to work hard anyway so that there's not a chance of you leaving. I'd say that maybe I'm close to loving you back the way you deserve, but I have to figure out what love means first. You deserve someone who knows, Tali."
group
“I myself don’t know about love, Osora. We can work on it together.” He said gently, kissing her nose and beaming. “If anything it’s me who doesn’t deserve you.”
"Maybe we've just tricked ourselves into believing we don't deserve anything other than what's horrible and toxic for us." She countered, returning the kiss to his nose with her eyes closed. "Let's learn together. I want to learn about love with you, Tali."
group
Tali’s eyebrows furrowed but he didn’t speak at first. He thought over her words carefully, biting his lip. “I want to learn with you too. Please, let’s change our thinking, and learn to love.”
"Together." Osora affirmed, pressing her forehead to his. "It can't be the hardest thing out there, right? If I can face the worst villains this city has ever seen, if you can keep up a fake face for hours and hours on end, we can do this. But first, let's get you something to eat."
group
Tali kisses her quickly in response, grinning happily at her words. “You need to eat too.” He purred softly. “Lets go get some breakfast, okay?”
"I'm not all that hungry, but fine." Osora said, shaking her head before nodding. "Alright. We should go out though. I know this little food cart that has these American-style omelets, but with ingredients you won't get in one over there….first, though, a kiss for the road?"
group
“You need to eat too, love.” He poked her arm gently, smiling happily at her. “I would love an omelet. Let’s go there.” Her request brought a giggle from his lips, but he leaned in anyways and kissed her softly. “There, anything else?”
"Mmm….one more thing." She said, pressing her lips to his again, for a bit longer this time, before pulling away. "There. And really, I just did some snacking, it's fine. The only thing I need right now are beans, I guess. For the iron."
group
Tali hummed happily, kissing her cheek right after and laughing. “Some snacking, huh? Mhm. Let’s go get you some actual food. With lots of iron.” He ran his fingers through her hair l, smiling sweetly at her.
“Chili is good for that. Haven’t had chili for a while. Might do it for dinner.” She mused, nodding. Carefully, she stood from his lap, pausing and inhaling sharply, before offering a hand to help him up. “Maybe I can get some spinach in my omelet, until then. What do you like in yours?”
group
"Now that sounds like a wonderful idea. American's make some of the best chili I've ever had. Maybe I can show you a recipe to use for tonight?" He offered, taking her hand and standing by her side. "I love ham and cheese omelets. Those are the best ones."
"I would love a recipe. We can make the chili together. Do you happen to have any that don't have red meat, though?" She asked, arching a brow and leaning against him for a moment to let her knee stop hurting. "Mmm, I like cheese omelets. I don't eat ham though, but when I used to, it was pretty good. Never had it in an omelet though."
group
(Sorry, I went off my meds again for a few days and had an existential crisis. I’m still partially in it XD)
“Yes of course. But do you not like red meat?” He asked her, raising a surprised brow. “Ah, it’s way good in omelets. You don’t have to eat it though. Ham isn’t for everyone.”
((oh boy, those are no fun. hit me if you need to talk!))
"I don't digest it well, and don't care much for the taste half the time either." She explained, shrugging a shoulder. "It was always too salty the few times I had it. I might consider trying it, though. Maybe just a small bite. A small stomach ache can be dealt with, if it really is that good."
group
(Haha thanks! I’m doing much better today. But like dang man. I really am just a mentally ill brain piloting a meat sack.)
“That does make sense.” He replied with a small laugh. “It does have a salty taste to it. I happen to be a salt addict, though, which explains a lot about my taste in foods.” Tali took her hands in his, smiling at the one he had fallen for. “You won’t be getting any stomach aches because I’m not going to let you.” He kissed her cheek lovingly and wrapped an arm around her waist to help her out the door and down the stairs.
((that is a Whole Ass mood man, i feel you))
"You know I'm still not wearing a shirt, right?" Osora pointed out as he helped her down the hall, stopping by a laundry basket and digging through it. She pulled out a shirt, tugging it on over her head. "Thank the gods for clean laundry. Okay, now we're good to go." She said, looking up at him and arching a brow as she started moving again, face twitching as her leg hurt again.
group
(Ahaha thanks. It’s been my mood all day)
Tali tilted his head, blushing when he processed her words. “Ah! I nearly forgot! Sorry!” He waited patiently for her to slip on a shirt, keeping a respectful eye down on the ground. He laughed softly when she returned to him and he could help her once more.
His entire demeanor changed, however, when he noticed the twitch in her features. “Are you alright, Osora?”
“I’m perfectly fine.” Osora said, nodding a few times as she held onto him. She wasn’t leaning all her weight on him, and actually looked like she was walking mostly on her own, but that was just a facade. She was leaning on him more than she’d like. “Knee just needs a couple minutes. It can heal while we walk, it’ll be fine.”
group
“Are you sure? A broken kneecap is a big deal. And it won’t heal right if you keep agitating it.” He carefully threaded her arm around his back, intertwining their fingers as he took more of her weight against him. “There, is that any better?”
She blinked as he adjusted his grip on her, leaning into him almost immediately. It felt natural, somehow, letting him help. She wasn't used to that. "I-yeah. Yeah, that hurts less. Thanks. And my knee'll heal. Worst case, it heals wrong, and I spend a day re-working the bone back into shape."
group
“It’s much better to let it heal the right way first.” He replied with a laugh, kissing her cheek. “I’m not going to let you walk on your knee all day you know. You’re hurt and i don’t want you to hurt yourself more.”
"You've got to stop worrying about me. I can handle a little bit of discomfort, you know." She complained, furrowing her brows just slightly as they reached the stairs. Instead of starting down them, she pulled out her phone, typing up a text quickly and hitting send. Her response was verbal, not over text.
"Is Tali with you?" Shou shouted from the kitchen, followed by an affirming 'yeah, is he?' from Reeha.
"Yes, Shou. Tali is with me." "Good. Apparently he's got more sense than you! Bring me a leaf!"
group
“Oh I know. Doesn’t mean you have to go through it though.” He replied, staring down the stairs for a moment. When Shou spoke, Tali swore in Korean, snickering at Reeha’s echo. “A leaf?” He asked Osora, looking over at her.
