Madison heard someone walk up to the door and stop. He looked up from trying to find something to cheer Ivory up or, barring that, a job he could perform from inside this bedroom. "...hello?" Nothing. He set aside the computer and opened the door. Alright, Zane was on the list. What list? Don't question it. He stepped aside a little and Zane peered in at Ivory. "...Ivory?"

She looked up, and saw Zane. It's... been a while. As usual, she was covered, from head to toe. She nodded as a sign he could come in.

He moved past Madison, ducking through the doorway, and sat on the bed next to her, trying not to look at the burns. "...are you....feeling better? I came before, but you were asleep...."

She looked down for a moment. "I'm....getting there."

2016-05-06 09:14:58

🌀

...she spoke. He smiled a little. He'd heard she hadn't been..... He put his arm around her carefully. ".....that's good......"

She flinched slightly. "Hurts a little still, sorry."

"O-oh." He pulled his hand back. "...sorry...." It was a burn, of course touching her would hurt. He knew that perfectly well. Or he should've.

"It's okay...you can...still hold me...if you want."

2016-05-07 05:45:16

🌀

"....." He didn't want to hurt her. That was the last thing he..... He slowly returned his arm around her shoulder and tugged her to him.

●

The pain returned, but she fought through it. Instead, she leaned on him. "Sorry for...worrying you.."

"You do not have to, it was more....Beckett's fault, and Eilliot's, for hurting you. ....do you know where Beckett lives?"

2016-05-07 05:50:20

●

"I don't. Do you really think Lance would let him be alive if he knew where he was?"

2016-05-07 05:51:20

🌀

"Oh, good point, he would probably do something first....where did he find you, though?"

2016-05-07 05:53:09

●

"Some...warehouse...I tried seeking shelter for the day...didn't know he'd be there too."

2016-05-07 05:53:49

🌀

"...why were you outside that early?"

2016-05-07 05:54:25

●

"I went for a walk and didn't realize the time."

2016-05-07 05:55:14

🌀

"A walk....oh...okay...please do not do that again." He hugged her a bit tighter.

2016-05-07 05:56:26

●

"I...I won't."

2016-05-07 05:57:36

🌀

"...thank you.....I will...try to find where Beckett has been. Maybe that warehouse would be a good place to check first."

2016-05-07 05:59:04

●

"...I don't want him to hurt you too."

2016-05-07 05:59:49

🌀

"If I go at night, he cannot...and maybe I will bring backup."

2016-05-07 06:00:14

●

"...Okay, if you think that helps."

2016-05-07 06:03:23

🌀

"...he is only Beckett. Without the sun on his side, he cannot hurt us."

2016-05-07 06:03:47

●

"...I hope you're right."

2016-05-07 06:04:18

"His only other weapon is...a lighter? We will be fine."
