When: Day 36 night
Where: Back outside the train

[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

[She takes a shot in the shoulder instead of elsewhere as she dodges swiftly.

Just not enough.]

Crow-han!

[ Congratulations, because Crow is hallucinating, 80H looks like this to him. So after only a brief hesitation at her voice, he's taking aim to fucking shoot again. ]

[She is taking off, running in a circle that gets smaller until she flips low and uses the momentum to slide and attempt to trip him up.]

[ He isn't expecting that and does in fact get wrong-footed, stumbling as he shoots in her direction again-- but this time, his aim is wildly off. ]

[She has to be careful, is careful, not to hurt him properly, holding properly back to that effect, but she can lean into that strength. She flips back onto her feet and quickly spins to face his back before reaching out with her arms to hold his back, half shouting into his ear.]

Crow-han, it is 80H. Please stop. What you are seeing is not real.

[That is her guess anyway, she has been around him when he was hallucinating before, so she wonders now. She can attempt to break it, but she will need a moment of focus.]

[ He struggles against her grip wildly for a moment, thrashing and tugging with all of his strength-- but it's not enough. Not for her. ]

...80H?

[ He doesn't really sound certain about that. ]

[His thrashing is ineffective, though she does move with him a little, if only so he does not hurt himself against her.]

It is I, Crow-han. 80H. Only I. What are you seeing right now?

[ He'll appreciate that later. ]

Monsters-- There's monsters everywhere. Everywhere.

You are hallucinating. The monsters do not exist or worse, they are other people. You may hurt them, Crow-han. I do not know if I can end this effect, but I will try my best. I am going to let you go on the count of three.

[her voice is very calm and very even.]

One...two...three.

[true to her word, she does let go, but she does not go far.]

[ He doesn't lash out at her when she lets go, just looks at her warily. ]

....Hallucinating, huh?

Ma voix chante avec me larmes. Je pris pour votre salut.

[Her voice takes on an echoing, layered quality as she casts her spell. Glittering dewdrops of light gently fall on Crow, cool and cleansing, the rain washing away dark visions.]

[ He lets his eyes flutter closed for a moment, and when he opens them he breaths a sigh of relief. ]

...80H. You're a sight for sore eyes right now.

I can imagine.

[She brushes his shoulders off, sets his jacket right. She is couching her subconscious concern with fussiness and a dislike of disarray.

but she's an idiot, so.]

Anything to help.
