"....|do you /ever/ shut up?| I might if I had nothing left to talk about. [I can cut his tongue out.] {Jack, no.} |If only.|"

●

Ah. Right. That. She said nothing, only rubbed his back. Could she do anything more?

2016-01-10 08:16:16

🌀

I bit my tongue so they couldn't speak, closed my hand into a fist, and shut my eyes. Be /quiet/. I'm busy. [You're always 'busy'. All work and no play makes Jack a jittery boyyyy!] {Was that pun on purpose?} [Was it?] |This is stupid.| [You're stupid.] |Really? This? How childish.|

She reached over and placed her hand on his before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Lets sleep before he let Madison wait."

"......yes. Right." And all of you, behave, I don't want to make him any more upset....only because you want Ivory to pay attention to you instead. No, that's not.....{Don't listen to him, dear, I know you're selfless. Now let's get a good night's sleep. I'll hold Jack back, at least.} [But I like being there! It's so cool! And I haven't even gotten to see Madi wood yet!] {Jack, please....} [....yes, ma'am...]

"Good." With a gentle nudge, she pushed him until his back hit the bed, and she curled up next to him.

🌀

I kept my eyes closed and steadied my breathing, hands in her hair. ....just sleep. Madison's in a sorry state. He might have a panic attack if I don't....I have to sleep. Now.

Ivory, on the other hand, didn't have trouble falling asleep. After all, death was a deep enough one.

🌀

I can't sleep, I'm too worried, what if he.....Sharon started singing softly. A sort of lullaby. It soothed me a bit, even when Luces interrupted and Jack tried to sing along. It helped....

Sure enough, Ivory found herself here. In her bedroom. Well...this bed /was/ comfortable, but who slept with shoes still on? Odd. Okay..now to find Seculus, since it'd be easier, and they could find Madison together. Sadly, she was once again in a more formal dress, so fast walking was her only option.

🌀

I woke up on a bed this time, instead of a balcony. ....odd. The others drifted outside the curtains, casting their glow through the fabric like talkative lanterns. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, glancing down at myself. ....a different outfit, still silk and such, but a little more practical, a tunic and trousers in shades of dark indigo and green. I reached up and touched the circlet still on my head. Then I sighed, and resignedly pushed the curtains aside, seeing, to my chagrin, four floating forms. Why 'resignedly'? After all, I get to see Ivory again as a beautiful queen. ...maybe because I don't have her to myself this time. I left the spacious room to roam the hallways again in search of her.

●

Okay now...where could Seculus be? That was the question. Well, somewhere in this castle. With enough searching, she saw him turn down a hallway, and made a b line for him before doing anything else.

🌀

I heard clacking footsteps behind me and turned around to see Ivory in a different dress. Equally beautiful. "...hello there."

2016-01-10 08:54:23

●

Ivory eventually stopped, a little breathless. Fast walking in a corset was /work/. "Hey." She greeted.

2016-01-10 08:55:56

🌀

I noticed her exhaustion. "Perhaps you should have waited for me to find /you/..."

2016-01-10 08:56:32

●

"No no, I'm completely fine. Just getting used to using my /lungs/ for once."

2016-01-10 08:57:49

🌀

"......" I considered this for a moment, then reached out and lifted her in my arms, in the appropriately named 'princess lift' style.

2016-01-10 08:58:41

●

She slightly flinched in surprise from this. "W-Wait! You don't have to do this, I'm fine!"

"....I'm going to carry you." I headed for the main doors. "Do you know where he is?"

2016-01-10 09:02:19

●

"I think the garden? I'm not sure. Really, you don't need to carry me. I can walk just fine."

2016-01-10 09:03:20

🌀

"I'm not budging on this. The garden it is." I tried to push open one door with foot and failed. Ish opened it for me and I stepped out into the sunlight.

●

"See? You're having trouble already."

2016-01-10 09:06:24

🌀

"....I'm fine. I have a few sets of extra hands."

2016-01-10 09:06:53

●

"And I two perfectly good legs than I can walk on."

2016-01-10 09:08:31

"You aren't using them right now."
