Right. It was supposed to be Seculus's job to keep an eye on Tassek, not the other way around. He really could be a pain sometimes. Ugh. "You do that, and if she neglects to mention another injury, tell me, please."

●

" I shall. Believe me. She really needs to accept help sometimes. "

2015-05-25 05:25:19

🌀

"So, what is this, Seculus needs to stop helping and Terezi needs to let people help her. We need a Helping Anonymous support group."

2015-05-25 05:30:51

●

Anndrea giggled. "Yes. But I think that's where we both come in? I don't think support groups can help them both at this point."

2015-05-25 05:40:45

🌀

"Well, there are some weirdly specific support groups out there. Once I saw a poster for a Tamagotchi Pet Addiction Support Circle."

2015-05-25 05:43:07

●

She had no idea what a 'Tamagotchi' pet was, but it still seemed funny. "Well, then. That is one interesting support group."

2015-05-25 05:45:22

🌀

"There are odder. I just don't make a habit of looking for them. Anyway, the point is that we're in the big city, there's a support group for everything under the sun. And if not, someone'll start one especially for them just because it hasn't been done yet."

2015-05-25 05:50:42

●

"You do have point there. Who knows? Maybe you and I will be just who they need."

2015-05-25 05:56:59

🌀

"Right, sure, let's become therapists, because why not." The door rattled as it was unlocked and Seculus came in, looking exhausted. What the hell kind of a walk had /they/ been on? Maybe he needed an exercise support group more than one for helping.

2015-05-25 05:59:45

●

Terezi came in behind her. A slightly worried look on her face. Her gaze went to Tassek and and Anndrea sitting on the couch and froze. "Oh. Hello." She greeted.

Anndrea stared back at her. Hmmm? "Hi."

2015-05-25 06:04:45

🌀

What? Why was she worried? "What happened?" Seculus gave Anndrea a smile and went to go find bandages.

2015-05-25 06:06:36

●

"Uhm..Nothing."

This is exactly what they were just talking about. She smiled and looked at Terezi. "...what happened to your wrist?"

2015-05-25 06:07:43

🌀

"Did you hurt yourself again? Shit, Terezi, did those hunter guys come back?!" He got up off the couch and grabbed her arm to look at the wound.

2015-05-25 06:10:21

●

Again? Had they already found her. Oh boy, this was not good.

She pulled her arm away, covering her wrist with her other hand. "I'm fine, Tassek. Really."

2015-05-25 06:12:56

🌀

"No you're not, there's blood everywhere!" Seculus returned with a roll of bandages and Tassek turned on him. "Why didn't you do anything?!" "I...." He stopped where he was at the sudden yelling and flinched back a little.

2015-05-25 06:16:22

●

"Tassek. Do /not/ blame him for this. This wasn't his fault." If anything it was hers.

2015-05-25 06:17:45

🌀

"Fine, it was those goddamn hunters, I'm going to kill them!" "..you...really can't, and...language..." "Oh, shut /up/."

2015-05-25 06:22:30

●

"Hey!" She snapped, grabbing Tassek's shoulder. "Calm down. He didn't do anything and you know it."

2015-05-25 06:24:37

🌀

He twitched, but took a deep and shaky breath. "......okay. Sorry." Seculus carefully put the bandages down on the arm of the couch and skirted the two of them to get to the door, hair in his face. "...I think...I'm...going to go to work now." Then he disappeared.

2015-05-25 06:35:16

●

She watched as Seculus disappeared out the door. Great. Some things were too god to be true. She looked away.

Anndrea, on the other hand, slipped outside the door. No. She wasn't going to let him sit there and wallow in his pain alone.

2015-05-25 06:40:11

🌀

He sighed and picked up the bandages, wrapping some around her wrist silently.

I stopped and leaned against the wall by the stairwell, hand on my forehead keeping my bangs out of my eyes, which were trained on the ground. Of course it was too early to go to work. I just needed an excuse to get away from his temper. And it wasn't a direct lie, I would go to work eventually from this point, just...not right this instant.

2015-05-25 06:46:40

●

She was quiet for the longest time for the longest time before speaking up. "You know you really didn't have to say that to him."

Anndrea looked around quietly for Seculus. She hoped that he didn't go to work yet. Finally, she stopped and saw him by the stairwell. "Seculus..." She quietly spoke before moving the rest of the way to him.

2015-05-25 06:50:46

🌀

He didn't respond, only focused on tying off the bandage tightly.

I lowered my hand and glanced up. Anndrea? I shoved my hands in my pockets. "....sorry. I'm fine."

2015-05-25 06:56:57

●

Once he tied off the bandage, she pulled her arm away, and quickly shove it back into her pocket.

"No you're not." She wrapped her arms around him immediately. "You are most certainly not."

2015-05-25 07:00:55

🌀

Finally, he spoke. "......you need to tell me these things. And not lie about being okay."

Ah. "I...I am, though, I've gotten used to that..."
