After several minutes, the door creaked open again and Seculus finally joined them. He went still when he realized Madison wasn't thinking, and gave Ivory a worried look.

Ivory shifted slightly, and looked to Seculus. What?

2016-06-21 09:01:41

🌀

....is he asleep again? I can't hear anything.

2016-06-21 09:02:58

●

No. He's awake...he's just lonely.

2016-06-21 09:03:55

🌀

Ah....that doesn't....really explain why his mind's so blank, but okay. I moved over to the bed with them and started rubbing his back.

●

She pulled him into the hug as well.

2016-06-21 09:06:28

🌀

I wrapped my arms around them. ...if we get rid of it by renewing the pact, what does he do?

2016-06-21 09:08:49

●

...I don't know. Biting doesn't work. I tried.

2016-06-21 09:09:10

🌀

He said it was...bracelets he 'conjured'?

2016-06-21 09:11:16

●

"Yes."

2016-06-21 09:14:52

🌀

"If you go back to sleep, maybe you can use those somehow...."

2016-06-21 09:16:15

●

"...." She looked to Madison. "Should we?"

2016-06-21 09:17:35

🌀

He was staring off into space. I jostled him a bit. Madison, you need to come back. He blinked a little. "...what? Oh....sure."

2016-06-21 09:21:12

●

"Are you sure? I'm happy to try if you want to."

2016-06-21 09:23:08

🌀

"...yeah. Okay. Let's....see what happens."

2016-06-21 09:24:52

●

"Okay...." Slowly she laid down.

2016-06-21 09:25:25

🌀

He moved the blankets so she could join him under them. I wrung my hands a little. "....should I come too?" I hadn't been there with her in a long while....

2016-06-21 09:27:36

●

This bed looked like it could fit three. She took his hand and pulled him under the blankets too. "Yes."

2016-06-21 09:29:07

🌀

I snuggled next to her under the sheets with a soft sigh. ....I hope we fall asleep soon so he doesn't have to suffer much longer.

🌀

I woke up back in my room and was able to see for myself that my balcony had indeed returned to its proper position. ...that's good. Now to find the others. I went over and poked my head out the window first to see if there was a new balcony nearby. Flying over there might be quickest if his room's on the outer edge.

I found myself huddled back on the floor where I'd been standing when I hit myself with the sword. .....I think my foot's broken.

Ivory awoke in her library. She lifted up her skirt. Yes, still there. Slowly, she moved into her ice filled hallway and towards Madison's room.

2016-06-21 09:39:09

🌀

I see Ivory's....there. On the other side. That must be his. I took off my shirt, let out my wings with a sharp intake of breath, and stepped onto the railing, stepping off to soar over to his room.

There was a man-sized plush German shepherd propped up outside Madison's door. Thankfully, there were no knives stuck in it.

2016-06-21 09:41:34

●

Well that was...very nice. Slowly she moved the dog aside and stepped into the room.

2016-06-21 09:43:38

🌀

I landed on the balcony and put my wings away, stepping into the room. Madison was curled up in a ball on the floor by a rack of weapons, in obvious pain. Oh dear. I ran over and knelt by him. "Are you alright?" "Do I /look/ like it."

2016-06-21 09:46:18

●

She entered the room just as Seculus did. Oh..looks like it is injured. "Come on." Ivory took one arm and threw it over her shoulder. "Seculus help me get him back into bed."
