009[Audio]

[halfbrokenwings]

[The sound of barely contained distress is coming from the journal. She was disturbed before, with all the faces of people she knew at the orphanage and the faces of the two friends she had left behind being snatched from here but, this? She could not handle this. She is in her room in the farthest corner, huddled against the wall with her wings wrapped as much as they could around her.

She pleads perhaps to the absent Lord, or to anyone that can hear her.]

P-please. Make it stop. Make it stop. Th-they won't stop whispering, th-threatening. Please. Please.

[Before the audio cuts out you can hear her sobbing. She is literally scared to tears.]

[She frowns. Hadn't his pumpkin screamed like the others?

The frown turns to worry as Sollux take a seat. Now, she was without the voices too but, he had them. She sits on the bed and places a hand on his shoulder.

She looks over at Malkus and his very messy attire.]

Thank you for your concern, Malkus.

You might wish to clean up though.

[He is going to have trouble seeing through those eyeholes soon, and the smell was starting to make her nauseous on top of her anxiety.]

You are welcome... I am just sorry for frightening you with what happened. Clean up?

[He glances down, jumping a bit as if surprised by his own appearance.]

O-Oh dear! I- e-erm...

[He steps back a bit, stepping out of the room.]

P-Perhaps I should go and get myself brushed off-....

*Sollux glances to Isa for a moment as she puts a hand on his shoulder, then looks back to Malkus.*

You should, unless you like the idea of walking into walls and stuff.

[Isa smiles reassuringly at Malkus.

But, they seem to catch him a lot of times now, when he has something upon his clothing: mud, blood and pumpkin guts...]

Thank you Malkus, again, for coming here, it is appreciated.

[She's not so sure about the pumpkin death, though.]

[doctoral-bird.livejournal.com]

V-Very welcome. Well. I should erm-... If you'd excuse me. I hope to see you two at whatever the lord has planned.

[He does a small bow, taking a few more steps out into the hall.]

I better erm-... clean this off of all the things-... it smells rather nice, at least-...

[As he walks away, his voice can still be heard fading off as he mumbles to himself down the hallway.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Uh...yeah.

*Sollux waves a little bit as Malkus walks off then shakes his head and turns back to Isa. He's not really sure where to go from here, so its really up to how well she seems to be doing.*

[Isabella nods and smiles at the doctor.]

See you then!

[She waits until she hears the muttering fading from down the hall before she turns to Sollux. She gives him a squeeze on the shoulder then drops her hand.]

Thank you, Sollux...

... are you alright?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

...Yeah, I'm fine.

*Well, as fine as he ever was.*

Are you doing better?

[halfbrokenwings.livejournal.com]

[She nods. Now she's got some more appreciation for what he goes through, and a little extra creep for the sudden lack of those voices.]

I think I'll be alright now. I'll likely be taking some time to calm down completely but, I'm alright.

[Stupid Dieor.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Are you sure? You don't need anything?

[halfbrokenwings.livejournal.com]

[She smiles a little brighter. Instead of answering right away she steals a quick hug. ]

Thank you. I think I might stay in here for a little while, yet.

Unless you want to stay, or want me to come with you?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

I don't know what I'm going to do, I was probably just going to look around for awhile. It might be better if you stay here and rest, but its up to you.
