[it doesn't feel good to see even the faintest bit of blood, least of all coming from his person. it feels worse when, handed these worn papers, she is set aside for him to move. she feels a chilly sting in her chest, but she dares not protest, lest she cut off some other word.

instead he just...leaves her. she feels rather sick, watching him move over there, and she wants to ask what he means by that, but...apparently 'what comes natural' is to let the words speak for themselves.

how like her; she'd laugh if she didn't want to cry. instead, she just tells herself to focus, and read.

unless he also plugs his ears, he's not safe from the sniffles and stifled sounds of weeping and little, tiny dismayed sounds. the recollection of her own imprisonment bleeds through and paints more violent pictures than the words themselves do, andmore's the guilt that there had been nothing - nothing! - she could've done to help him. console him. save him.]


Oh... [she can barely see anything as her tears blur her vision, forcing her to have to scrub at her eyes with the heel of her hand. she sniffles loudly.]

Darin. Darin... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. [her shoulders shake and teeth click as she forces her jaw to shut to stifle herself.]
