When you've got nothing inside

[tumultofdarkness]

[Achilies has been hiding for a while, pretty much ever since new year actually, but he's out today. If only because he feels like he owes someone a serious apology.]

Comments

:D

[tumultofdarkness]

[Frowns when he sees that.]

Hey, you need to rest.

[Does she need any extra support? D:]

[silents]

[Fumbles with her crutch, shaking her head and wincing.




... yeah, she needs help, but she won't ask for it ):]

[tumultofdarkness]

[:|

...Carefully scoops her up into his arms, being extra gentle because of her injuries, and starts walking.]

Where's your room? You need to rest, no arguments.

[silents]

[Keeps shaking her head, before wincing and curling up, holding her ribs.]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Frowns then looks at Frog.]

Where's she staying?

[silents]

[Bounce bounce. That room nearby!]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Walks to the room then :|]

[silents]

[Her room/apartment/whatever is plain. Attached kitchen, a table for eating (extra chairs when she has guests! c: ) and her bed there. It's small and simple, but fits her. Near her bedside, there's a vase full of fresh lilies. Guess who risked visiting her earlier.]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Goes straight to the bed and gently lays her down.


...Ignoring those lilies though. He's going to pretend his little confession never happened :c]

[silents]

[She relaxes back on her pillows, and studies him carefully.

The funny thing is that she and Li could be polar opposites, if their parents (BOTH MOMS AND DADS jfc) are anything to go by. So if Li is someone who's ridiculously dense, Raine is more observant.

She picks up her slate one handedly.

"She told me what happened. She freaked out about it."]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Ridiculously observant?

....Looks away, frowning.]



........I didn't want her to know.

[But hey, at least she can hate him now instead of pitying him. He actually things he'd prefer that.]

[silents]

["I don't blame you. She's innocent about things like this, isn't she? And you were pretty good at hiding it."]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Sits on the edge of the bed with a sigh.]

I've had to be, haven't I? It would have ruined everything. Things would have been too awkward.

...Although I don't think I'll have to worry about that now.

[Gives a wry smile.]

Everyone probably hates me for what I did to you. I don't have to worry about them pitying me or anything anymore.

[silents]

[D:!

"If I explain to them, they'll understand!"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Shrugs.]

Don't bother. It's fine. I've been meaning to disappear for a while anyway. If they don't want anything to do with me, then they wont look for me. It's better this way.

[Now he can get to work on UNINTERRUPTED DARKNESS TRAINING.]

[silents]

[????

"Where are you going?"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[...She's Darkness too, right? She'd probably understand?]


...I tell you, you promise not to tell anyone else?

[silents]

[Nodnod :c]

[tumultofdarkness]

..I'm going to train with my Darkness. I need to learn how to control it so that I don't hurt anyone anymore.

[silents]

[:C !!

"So you're isolating yourself for a while?"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Nods.]

It's safer if there's no one around me.

[silents]

[...

She's not stopping him, however!

"Can I check on you once in a while?"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[......]


...Only when it's safe. Text me first to make sure, okay?

[silents]

[Nods!

"It's a little lonely here when no one visits me, and it'd be a nice change to actually visit someone for once C:"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[... :c]

...You know, you can hang out with me whenever you want, as long as it's safe. You shouldn't have to be lonely.
