Thantos let go, and a grin spread across his face. "We're done here for now. We were misinformed, lets go."

Marcellio dropped Ivory, grabbed Thantos by the wrist, and disappeared into the night.

Ivory stumbled to the ground, completely unable to catch herself. Seculus?! Seculus! She rushed towards him.

Ishiah watched them run away with some surprise. With an actual body, having a single wing felt imbalanced and uselessly weighted. ....but what could he really do about it? He ignored Jack for the moment and went over to the two who mattered right now. He grabbed Ivory's arm gently, helping hold her up, and looked at Seculus, now clawing at his scalp like it was covered in ants. "Ahhhh he came back where are they they're gone we're going to die....!"

Ivory broke out of Ish's grasp, and grabbed Seculus's wrists. "Seculus...Seculus." Ivory's voice was full of worry. He could of been hurt. He could have been /killed./

He mumbled some gibberish about lemons and stared past her. "....we should get him back. He needs Madison's help. Can you walk?"

2016-01-23 23:49:03

●

"Yeah, I..." She shakily picked him up and put him on her back. "Yeah i can."

2016-01-23 23:50:17

"Good. I'll take him if you think you can't," he said softly, then went over to nudge Jack with his toe. He sat bolt upright. "A-are we there yet??" "Depends what /you/ think of as 'there'. Come on. I can't let you out of my sight."

2016-01-23 23:52:12

She made her way to Madison's apartment. "I'll be fine."

2016-01-23 23:56:23

🌀

"I doubt it. Did he hurt you? Tell you anything?" He and Jack trailed along behind, Jack gazing in wonder at anything and everything.

2016-01-23 23:59:05

●

"I'm fine." She insisted. She had more important things on her mind.

2016-01-24 00:07:42

🌀

I suppose she would. "If you get tired, just tell me." "What's /that/??" "....a neon sign. You already knew that." "But what /is/ it? How does it work?" "I don't know, ask Kinsley or look it up. Stop bothering me."

2016-01-24 00:10:23

●

...She almost failed science class, let alone have the rational thought process to explain it. "Sure." She spoke to Ish. Whatever. Just to get him off her back.

2016-01-24 00:18:44

🌀

/Well/. It isn't as if I'm trying to help or anything. I frowned, but stopped talking, since obviously she isn't going to have a conversation with me. Jack kept on going, but didn't get any response. We arrived at the apartment and Madison opened the door, looking confused. "Ivory? Are you okay? What happened to Seculus? And who're the groupies?" "Excuse you, I'm nobody's groupie." "I want groupies!"

"I..." She leaned against the door. Okay, maybe anxiety induced exhaustion was starting to take over. "I'll explain in a second, Seculus needs your help right now."

2016-01-24 01:58:03

🌀

Anxiety induced /what/? "Go lie down. I'll...do whatever." I took Seculus from her and laid him on the couch. Looks like I've become the semi-official doctor. "So what's wrong this time?" "The window's broken the owls will get in, lemon eyes are in the walls, give me fireflies!" I just stared at him for about a minute straight. ".......Jesus. Uh, okay. He definitely does." I pushed his head back down and let the sparks flow. It felt different this time, like I was filling in holes more than simply cracks. Just what /happened/ to him? Like last time, I heard the voices in his head as I finished up. I thought I got rid of those? There were only two, and one was freaking out. She said my name. I think it was a she? {Madison, we need them back, he can't live like this! You need to bring them back!} I can't, and who's /they/? She didn't respond, the white lights were already disappearing. Seculus closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Ivory handed Seculus over, then sat down in a corner of the room and basically went quiet. This was her fault. All her fault.

2016-01-24 07:39:00

🌀

I looked over and sighed. I sat down next to her. "....I'm sure it isn't. It rarely is. What happened?" One of the guys went and sat on the side of the couch, watching over Seculus.

2016-01-24 07:42:46

●

"I..." Ivory couldn't keep eye contact. She didn't want to talk about it. She didn't want to explain /him./ "Thantos he...he's existing. For lack of a better word."

2016-01-24 07:44:38

🌀

"......oh. /Shit/. Well, that explains a....wait, does that mean these two are...?" "Yes, I can't explain it either." "That also explains a lot. .....well, you don't have to talk about it if you don't have to, then." I lifted my hand and gently rubbed her back.

2016-01-24 07:46:54

●

She flinched when he touched her, and silently brought her knees to her chest. "...."

2016-01-24 07:49:53

🌀

I drew my hand back. "...is that not okay?"

2016-01-24 07:50:04

●

"I..." She turned her head to avoid his gaze. "I don't know."

2016-01-24 07:51:07

🌀

"Alright....if you need some space." I folded my hands in my lap and just sat there, not looking at her. Something more must have happened to cause this. Is she going to be okay?

2016-01-24 07:51:55

●

She stood up. "I...I need to get home and tell Lance what happened."

2016-01-24 07:53:40

🌀

"That's smart." Even if I want to know too. But at least she's telling him. "I guess I'll keep these two....where'd he go?" The redhead was gone. The one-winged guy swore under his breath.

2016-01-24 07:55:00

●

She looked around. "...I have no idea."
