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?]

[ 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. ]

[voreaciously]

[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?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He'll appreciate that later. ]

Monsters-- There's monsters everywhere. Everywhere.

[voreaciously]

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.]

[bad_crowmance]

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

....Hallucinating, huh?

[voreaciously]

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.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ 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.

[voreaciously]

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.

[bad_crowmance]

...Thanks. I appreciate it.

[voreaciously]

[




what]

Crow-han...are you well?

1/3.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He lets out an inelegant snort. ]

Of course not. I'm fresh off a round of hallucinating and--

[bad_crowmance]

[ Wait a minute. ]

3/3.

[bad_crowmance]

And I can't... lie.... right now.

[voreaciously]

I suspected as much. I will do my best to be careful.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He rubs a hand down his face. ]

...Yeah. Appreciate that, too.

[voreaciously]

[THIS IS WEIRD, but she doesn't blush--barely--giving this the seriousness it deserves.]

You may find it prudent to avoid some individuals.

[bad_crowmance]

You mean like Rean and Naeva?

[voreaciously]

[She puts her hands up in a conciliatory gesture.] I did not name names, you did. I wish to state that for the record.

[bad_crowmance]

The record will show that I'm the one who called out the nosy, well-intentioned idiots.

[voreaciously]

Ah, it is good to be exonerated.

[bad_crowmance]

80H is free and cleared of all charges! The real criminal is Crow Armbrust!

[voreaciously]

A surprising twist, truly. [lol

but she becomes more subdued, careful, serious.]

You do not have to tell me if you do not want to, it should satisfy the compulsion if you simply leave it at that, but is there anything else wrong that you wish for me to know about?

[wish for, not should. she knows her ways around this shit.

which maybe begs all kinds of questions, but lets not examine those.]

[bad_crowmance]

You really know your way around words, don't you?

[ He says it in an admiring tone.

But. Hmm. Is there anything else he wishes her to know? He thinks... he likes the way their thing is the way it is. Telling too much truth would hurt it and he doesn't want that, not at all. So that would safely fall under "does not wish," and he can safely tuck that away.

He grins at her. ]

I really do think you have the best breasts on the train.

[voreaciously]

I am a lady.

[She considers that explanation enough and manages to be humble and graceful in her delivery and countenance.

And then.

And then.]

C-C-Crow-han!

[bad_crowmance]

What?! I'm right! They're soft and big enough to overflow even if I hold 'em in my hands and honestly, why haven't I---

[ 80H may want to cover his mouth before the words "titfucked you yet?" pop out of his mouth. ]
