"No. It's just like sleeping. Though he might be slightly confused about how much time has passed when he wakes up."

"But does that mean he's.....stuck in his burnt soul? Is he trapped in Calistor?...."

"A little. It's just like a peaceful sleep."

"......." That makes it sound more and more as if he's dead.... I looked back at Madison and closed my eyes, both because I couldn't look at him anymore and because I shouldn't. Then I clasped my hands, and silently prayed for the poor man who cared too much. I haven't prayed in a long time...not since I met God. But maybe, just this once. It might be worth it.

Three days passed since the 'incident'. Madison had not stirred or rose since then. It worried her. Hell, everything worried her. Why wouldn't it? At least now it kept her awake. Seculus and Ren lied sleeping next to her. Peacefully. That at least made her happy. But...to be honest? She was bored. Lying in the dark made her think to much. But...she wanted to be comfortable. Ivory sat up, and noticed Seculus's sweater on her desk chair. ....He wouldn't mind, right? Ivory swiped it, and pulled it over and onto to her before she moved into the basement, book in hand.

I woke up at some timeless point and noticed Ivory was gone. I sat up and rubbed my eyes a little. My sweater's missing too. Ah, she must've..... I pushed myself out of bed, careful not to disturb Ren, and wandered quietly around the house until I tracked her down to the basement. What if she just wants to be alone?.....I'll leave, then, if she does. I descended to where she sat reading.

She sat in once of Ren's armchairs, buried deep into a book, and heard the sound of someone coming downstairs. Ivory looked up. Oh. Seculus. "Did I wake you?" Ivory spoke as she shut her book. The sweater was slightly too big for her, almost able to be worn as a short dress, and the sleeves had to be pull up a little to use her hands,

"No, just...wondering where you went. .....comfortable?"

2016-01-26 00:46:10

●

"Hm?" She looked down. Oh. Right. "Very. Do you want it back?"

2016-01-26 00:47:05

🌀

"You can keep it. ....for now." I went and leaned on the back of the chair.

2016-01-26 00:50:49

●

"You sure." She moved the book aside and got on her knees while still on the chair, now eye level to him for once.

2016-01-26 00:55:09

🌀

"Of course. At least until I need it back."

2016-01-26 00:58:09

●

"Okay then. Did you sleep okay at least?"

2016-01-26 01:00:36

🌀

"....fine. I didn't go to Calistor, which was probably fortunate..."

2016-01-26 01:01:08

●

"Probably. I don't want Beckett to hurt you too."

2016-01-26 01:02:18

🌀

".....I can hide a little better. Has Jack been seen?"

2016-01-26 01:03:28

●

"Not that I know of. I hope he's okay."

2016-01-26 01:05:27

🌀

"Knowing him, he probably got himself killed in ten minutes flat.... I suppose we'll see."

2016-01-26 01:06:49

●

She paused for a moment. "...Do you want to sit with me? These chairs are big enough for two.."

2016-01-26 01:08:24

🌀

"Gladly." I moved around and sat next to her, putting my arm around her.

2016-01-26 01:08:45

●

She sat all the way down now, resting her head on his shoulder. She then noticed the light scars on his shoulders. "Those are from me, aren't they?"

2016-01-26 01:10:54

🌀

"....yes, but it's fine. You were panicking."

2016-01-26 01:33:41

●

"..." She leaned in a bit and lightly kissed the scratches. "I'm still sorry."

2016-01-26 01:35:51

🌀

"You don't have to be....I would've been that upset too, if I hadn't been so focused on keeping you calm at the time."

2016-01-26 01:37:28

●

"...Yeah, I know," Her cheek returned to on his shoulder. "I've been a bit of a mess lately."
