"....thank you." I wiped my bangs out of my eyes, tried to soak the excess from my clothes, and dried my hair with the same meticulousness as a monkey at a typewriter. It stuck up all over the place, curling from the humidity, and I laid the towel down on her bed and sat on it to avoid leaving a puddle and let my wings drip onto it. I couldn't reach them to do anything, and they were very heavy, even at their current size.

She took his jacket and placed it next to hers in order to dry. Once that was done, she moved to her chair and sat down. There. Much better. Even if her hair was still wet. Better than them both being soaked to the bone.

I took my shoes off, laying them tread-up by the window, and squeezed out the ends of my socks onto the towel. With every movement my wings, now the wettest part of me, sent a small spray to the floor, and I winced. When I sat back down, I cautiously asked "...do you....think you could help dry my wings?"

●

"...Yeah, sure." She retrieved a new towel, since this one was probably going to end up covered in feathers, and returned to the room. Slowly, she moved behind him, and gently began to dry his wings, making sure not to hurt him.

"......thank you." I sat quietly for a moment, enjoying the soft feel of the towel on my wings, before speaking up. "So, yes, if Eilliot comes...you know why now."

●

"I'm not too worried about Eilliot, in all honesty, but...thank you for warning me."

2015-10-23 06:28:17

"...I'm sorry I told him. Or...well....one of the voices has seemingly given /himself/ a name? He told him. Jack."

●

"It's okay." She moved the towel away from the now dry wings and tossed it to the side. "Really, it is."

"But you might go to /prison/ for this."

2015-10-23 06:32:53

●

"Well that would require for the police to be called, and to have proof that Dameien even existed in the first place."

2015-10-23 06:33:51

🌀

"Considering his job, I think there's /plenty/ of evidence. And why wouldn't Eilliot call the police? ...Hell, he might call them on me too. At the very least he wanted to call Tassek and drug me."

2015-10-23 06:35:01

●

"But there isn't any /legal/ evidence of his existence, and that's what matters for a case to be built. And whose to say I didn't just feed on him and accidentally killed him? I properly disposed of the body even if they do find out."

2015-10-23 06:36:32

🌀

"...oh, you did? Well, that's.......something, I suppose. How's Ren holding up?"

2015-10-23 06:37:22

●

"Not...too well."

2015-10-23 06:37:38

🌀

"..I figured. But it wasn't like Dameien did anything to earn their obsession."

2015-10-23 06:38:48

●

"Yeah, you're right about that."

2015-10-23 06:39:49

🌀

"I suppose, though, after all the time they spent with him, they would get attached..."

2015-10-23 06:40:46

●

"But, it was still completely terrible that they were tossed aside like trash by him whenever he got tired of them...he...also accused Ren of cheating on him with me."

2015-10-23 06:42:17

🌀

".......he /did/? But they didn't spend nearly as much time with you until he actually broke up with them."

2015-10-23 06:43:33

●

"I know. Is that even a reason to think that in the first place, though? Was he so jealous of Ren and I's friendship that he had to make up that we were dating to feel better?"

2015-10-23 06:45:03

🌀

"Well...it wasn't like /he/ had many friends. He dated Calypso at one point, and apparently their relationship ended the exact same way, except with a little more moving to an alternate plane of reality."

2015-10-23 06:47:44

●

"You're right...I just...wish I could make things better for Ren." She ran her fingers through her hair

2015-10-23 06:49:59

🌀

"...I'm sorry. There's not much left to be done, though. He's a ghost now, and while, with that strange ability they have, they might be able to talk to him, I doubt he would want the same at this point."

"It's fine. It's not your fault. Who knows what will happen now...Are you okay, though?"

2015-10-23 06:54:31

🌀

"....what? No, I'm.....I'm fine. Very tired. But I took some time to myself, and...I'm calmer now."
