She didn't want him to be alone. She didn't want to leave Seculus alone. She was fine. Perfectly fine. He on the other hand, was a different story. A much different one. Ivory had her head on his shoulder. Cuddling him.

I know I was...I was bad before, but I can't think about it now. She's more important. I can't make her upset by being stupid again. I'd made popcorn for us. I guess it's nice that she can eat now.

2016-03-09 08:28:31

●

Though, at this point. The popcorn was useless to her. Instead, she just fed small pieces to him. Movie playing idly as she did.

🌀

I kept feeling like I was going to doze off with my arm around her. There was a knock on the door. I sat up before I could fall asleep. "...I've got it."

2016-03-11 06:51:29

●

"Okay." She moved the popcorn aside fpr him.

Mysteria had found a day off. Her wrist now tightly held in a brace. This looked like the place. She knocked at the door, wand hidden in her pocket. Oh look, Seculus answered. "Uh...hi?"

🌀

My hand tightened on the doorknob. I'd been hoping it was Madison. "......hello." Wait. "How did you know where I live?" I live. Maybe she doesn't know Ivory's here. Hopefully.

●

Ivory's head perked up from the couch.

"Well I was lost and looking for directions. I had no idea you lived here." She sure was lost alright. How the fuck could they have afforded this?

2016-03-11 07:10:37

🌀

"......directions to where?" Just. Get her out quickly. I positioned myself in the doorway so she couldn't see past me.

2016-03-11 07:11:14

●

"Just to-"

"Seccy who is it?" Ivory asked.

2016-03-11 07:15:23

🌀

No--! "No one, don't move! To where? Hurry up!" I was getting twitchy. Is she going to do something? She might do something. Lance, where /are/ you??

2016-03-11 07:16:55

●

She immediately stood up and moved towards the door.

"Well just to the mall, but I wanted to say sorry about everything. Since I'm here."

2016-03-11 07:24:19

🌀

No. /No/. Stay on the couch. Please...! "Down the street, t-take a left, past....past the interstate....." No. Last time someone tried to apologize to me, she.....she.......

His hands were shaking. He spread his arms out across the doorway. He looked like he was going to have a panic attack.

2016-03-11 07:26:35

●

What is-oh. She was behind him now. Hands on his shoulders.

"Look I really mean no harm." It started to thunder in the distance

2016-03-11 07:28:16

🌀

"I don't...believe you. I told you where it is. P-please leave."

2016-03-11 07:30:13

●

The small thunder became a complete downpour.

"Look. Let me just step inside to call Edmund at least. My car broke down nearby so I was going to have him pick me up at the mall but I can't walk there now."

2016-03-16 05:48:24

🌀

Edmund? Her...friend. "......just...../just/ for that?"

2016-03-16 05:52:15

●

"I don't want to be out in this rain."

Ivory frowned. "That's it. Nothing more."

2016-03-16 06:24:10

🌀

I moved aside, but it was more like scurrying. I gripped the door tightly as I watched her enter.

2016-03-16 06:25:31

●

Ivory held his shoulder still as the two of them stepped aside, rubbing it.

Mysteria stepped inside, pulling out her phone in the process.

2016-03-16 06:39:41

🌀

I raised my hand to my shoulder and entwined it with hers. Is that really all she's going to do? ...I don't trust her.

2016-03-16 06:40:30

●

I don't know. I don't trust her either.

She pulled out her phone, making a 'call' to Edmund.

2016-03-16 06:43:03

🌀

...I could hear his voice. She's actually calling him, I guess. I closed the door hesitantly and moved Ivory around her back to the couch.

2016-03-16 06:45:57

●

Here I'll make you some tea for your nerves. If something happens well.....I'll be the first to know. She moved to the kitchen.

Mysteria moved from the hall to the living room. She noticed something. He seemed more jumpy than last time she saw him. "...you seem tense."

2016-03-16 06:52:16

🌀

Okay.....is she talking to me? I thought she was on the phone. "I....me? Well, I suppose...." Why does she care? Why did she point it out? Why doesn't she just /leave/?

2016-03-16 06:56:21

"Something wrong other than me?"
