[A rather loud and pained scream echos through the halls of the Dressing room.

And then there's silence.

Should anyone bother to look for the source of the scream, they'd find Aericka, leaning heavily against the wall, biting into her lip to keep from screaming again.

The strange part?
There's darkness leaking out of her.

And it seems to be causing her quite a bit of pain.]

[It's more the 'scent' of darkness on the air than the scream that has Kurt investigating... he doesn't immediately recognise whose it is from sound alone.
As he gets closer, though... there's something familiar about it, he thinks. And on finally seeing who it is - he just about runs.]

[He'd been walking down the hall, just minding his own business when he heard the scream. His instincts kicking in, he immediately took off towards the scream. He wasn't prepared for what he saw.]

Aericka!

[He reaches out to put a hand on her shoulder as he gets there, both to try and get a better sense of this darkness and to try his best at comforting her-]

Easy, Aericka. Easy. Come on.

[Hey, no-one ever said Heartless were made for this.]

Sssh. Ssh. Just try to breathe.

[Hm. He can try and smooth it as it grows, at least, try and help things settle... not something he's got much experience with, mind.]

[Damn, damn, damn...]

Listen to me. I can - make things easier. I can calm this down. But you have to trust me. You have to try and relax.

[His voice is soft, sympathetic - again, as far as he can manage.]

Good - good. I know this must be hard.

((OOC: No worries, he doesn't plan on Heartlessing her or anything: he's just planning on trying to 'control/block' the worst of the darkness, letting it come through at a pace she can cope with.))

You're doing well. You're doing well.

[How to do this? It'd be so easy to just follow his instincts - but it'd put both of them in danger. No, this isn't the time for that. A last resort, maybe.

Instead... ah. He thinks he has a better way.]

Just concentrate on my voice. This may feel even stranger at first - but this will get better.

I'm going to try and guide this darkness. Make things better.

[Ugh, this is going to be a mess - it's possible to see a hint of his own darkness spiralling around his hand (which, for a moment, looks more like a claw. Tracing it back, finding the source.]

Imagine there's a ) after 'claw'. Typo.

[Which is ... pretty much new for him, still. After all. Heartless. He's getting a feel for what's going on, though - he thinks he has a way through.]

First, I'm going to stop this spreading... imagine an oasis, springing from the ground.

[Desert metaphors. He can't help it. As he does so, he reaches out, attempting to wall off the fastest-growing regions of darkness, its source.]

Slowly, it's drying out. Nothing but soft, warm sand.

[It's tricky, delicate work; he's not catching quite everything. But it's starting to come under control.]

It's safe, there. Friendly. Warm. A little haven. And slowly, it's expanding.

Everything will be fine. Everything will be safe.

[Just talking to give her something to focus on, really... things are going more easily, now. Less to worry about, as he works on the stray ends, the fine details. Pulling everything together.]

No more storms. Just gentle breeze.

[As little as Heartless are known for empathy... that makes him smile, slightly. They're over the worst.]

That's the first stage done. I've got it under control.

[He could do so many things from here...]

Okay, then. :) Later~.

[Ah, words. That's good.]

When did this start?

[In theory, at least, having so much darkness in another in his grasp... there's possibilities, there. Manipulating it. But he's got no intention of testing anything out. Just doing what he said he would... which'll start with slowly, gently, drawing it in 'smaller'.]
