Jace soon let go, smiling at him, "Glad i could help~"
He then went to the door for Rigel, and he EVENTUALLY got rigel to hand over his stuff so he could carry it like the sweet bean he is. He lowered his voice, "You're good at comforting blake, so I'll get ye bags while you comfort him.. Pleaeeeee"

Rigel had perked up immediately at the sounds of his best friends' voices, and was about to come inside when Jace came to greet him.
He put up a playful fight over his bags, but eventually relented-he knew Jace well enough to see a lost battle when it came to the other man. Blake being upset did worry him, though. "What's wrong?" he asked quietly, briefly hugging Jace before stepping back. "Did something happen with him?"

He returned the hug and then stepped back with a shrug, "Not honestly sure, but he needed a hug and he's really fidgety" He didn't have much more to say so he put rigel's stuff into the room beside his; The first door on the left.

Blake wasn't paying much attention to the two talking anymore, and was just sitting there cross legged on the couch as he hugged the pillow. He seems to be staring into space, mumbling tiredly on occasion as he hummed quietly to himself; he'd also shifted his mask back down to cover his face, mostly so his friends wouldn't see him frowning underneath it. An odd thing he'd developed when it comes to him holding things is that, if his mind was focused on something else, his fingers would absently fidget with the material of whatever he was holding; closely similar to how a cat would knead a blanket, except a lot more subtle and not very noticeable unless you payed attention to the little habits he picked up.

Rigel nodded a little bit, then went to see Blake. "Hey, Blake," he started softly. He sat down next to him, offering a hug. "What's wrong, dear? You don't seem like yourself right now."
Rigel nodded a little bit, then went to see Blake. "Hey, Blake," he started softly. He sat down next to him, offering a hug. "What's wrong, dear? You don't seem like yourself right now."
Blake blinked a few times, briefly startled when Rigel sat next to him and spoke, but he settles a little as he let out a quiet sigh. "H-Hey.." He mumbles quietly, looking down to stare at his hands, which were now folded in his lap as he went quiet again. When Rigel offered him a hug and asked what was wrong, he just silently accepts the hug, shivering slightly as he closed his eyes and leaned his head on Rigel's shoulder. "I'm jus' tired.. n' a little stressed, but 's not a big deal.." He mutters quietly in response to the question, seeming lost in thought again as he went quietly, briefly adjusting part of his mask before crossing his arms over his middle, like he was hugging himself while also snuggling into the hug he'd been offered.

Rigel hugged him close, resting his chin on Blake's head. "Yeah?" he encouraged softly. "You want to talk about it?" He squeezed gently, trying to make himself a grounding presence for his friend. "Stress can really easily become somethin' more, man. Speaking from experience here. What's going on?"

For a moment Blake doesn't answer, hesitating to say what was bothering him as he tensed up slightly, but eventually just sighed defeatedly and buried his face. "J-Just.. problems at home I guess. Mom's been sick lately, a-and.. we have someone else who lives with us who can't be alone f-for too long if something were to happen to her.." His voice shook slightly as he said this, and from the tone he used it was obvious there was more behind the second part of the story. But he didn't add anything more as he seems to curl in on himself more and leaned against Rigel, the shivering he'd been doing now becoming a very light trembling as he mumbles under his breath.

"That really sucks," he murmured, giving Blake a little kiss on the head. "But I'm sure it'll be alright." Rigel was curious about who the 'someone else' was, but he could tell it was distressing his friend and he didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press. "D'you want me to ask Mama to check in on your family from time to time? You know how fussy my mama can get, and she loves your mom."

Blake hummed softly at the little kiss, mumbling again but he managed a tiny smile as he nodded slowly. "Y-Yeah.. that'd be nice. And I'm sure my mom could use someone to talk to.." He murmured after a moment, relaxing a little more into the hug as the tension in his body went away along with the trembling. He looks a bit thoughtful, humming a soft tune to yourself as he tilts his head a little from where he was leaning against Rigel. "I need to call her sometime tomorrow actually, to let her know I got here okay. I could.. introduce you to the other house guest, but I'd rather have Jace there for that so I can introduce both of you.." He spoke hesitantly, his voice soft and a bit nervous but otherwise calmer then what he was before.
