[barelyjoyous]

[walking through some densely forested area near where they camped ... and there is a Suspicious Sound.]

Comments

[breathefire]

--they wouldn't do that.

[meekly]

[softly]

Does anyone else... hear that?

[barelyjoyous]

Look.

[LOOK AT MY HANDS]

[breathefire]

No-- what the hell is up with you?

[meekly]

[suddenly starts sobbing into his hands]

[barelyjoyous]

Stop it.

[breathefire]

Eziah, don't.

[meekly]

[crying louder. it's pretty much as if you guys aren't even here.]

[barelyjoyous]

Don't c— Stop it.

[whirls around, effectively out of cover, hands starting to light up but fire's not terribly effective when it's pouring.]

[breathefire]

[and tackling Eziah away from crying burnable puppy]

[meekly]

[i'm busy having a mental breakdown over my inadequacies over here. can you keep it down? thanks.]

[barelyjoyous]

[sorry i'm in ragemode and i'm trying to punch connie]

[breathefire]

[trying not to get it in the face and wrestle his arms down]

What the fuck is wrong with you two?!

[meekly]

Shut up!!

[don't worry, he's not yelling at you two.]

[barelyjoyous]

[just shoving the fuck away from connie, visibly shaking now, snarls]

No!

[breathefire]

[--letting him go, visibly stressed out and desperate]

Calm down! It's okay, there's nothing wrong!

[meekly]

[speaks between sobs]

Leave me alone!

[barelyjoyous]

[trying to focus on one or both of you but his head is not co-operating and]

It's all wrong.

[breathefire]

Don't shout-- it's fine, you're fine.

[trying to talk in his best calming adult voice]

[meekly]

[his voice is now ragged and tears have stopped falling, but he keeps crying.]

[barelyjoyous]

[slams himself against the wall of whatever we were leaning against, rubs eyes]

[breathefire]

[reaches out to grab Florian by the wrist]

[meekly]

[just breathing heavily now, no more crying. twitches when connie takes his wrist, but doesn't acknowledge otherwise.]

[barelyjoyous]

[sits down— well, more like aims self at the ground and crashes, but the effect's the same.]

[breathefire]

[hugging and patting pochi, then, also watching to make sure Eziah doesn't break his face or anything]
