Ask Nar Shaddaa Swelling Tides

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"F-fine..." Kyosuke blushed and lowered his gaze, a slight pout on the side of his lips and cheek as he felt his confident demeanor quickly fading away between his condition and the girl scolding him. Not to mention he found himself having to lean on her for support again. Gremlin looked up at the two, still watching them with a curious tilt of his head as he started to head toward the hall at the girl's request. "-but I'm not letting you do something this dangerous alone."

He slowly took in a deep breath, then let it settle for a moment before he released it. The wounded Knight looked straight up, to where the Shinigami's dorsal docking ring and airlock was almost directly above them. "We'll have Shini open the airlock above us... The Hollow has enough of an atmosphere, and gravity so... we won't need to be worried about that.."

Kyosuke gently raised his right hand toward the DG-34 Peacemaker, which had actually scattered into the corner by the fridge after the commotion from Shini earlier. Kyo then focused and closed his eyes, taking a moment longer than usual to concentrate as the blaster pistol trembled in place for a moment before finally flying through the air and into his hand. "The ship's ion turrets are meant to disable ships and tech, it probably won't destroy it. The concussion missiles probably won't be able to hit it. But we can."

The young man raised his dim blue eyes to the corner of his fringe, peering through its cracks as he gazed at her with his heavy eyelids half-closed. The look of confidence had nearly faded, but he knew he had to keep himself together as best he could until this was finished. He'd brush his thumb against the sidearm's fire selector to make sure it was set on 'safety' before he turned it in his hand so that it was in his palm and pointed away from them. He held it directly in front of Seela's chest, and offered for her to take it.

"You toss the implant up, it'll float in the low gravity outside. Then raise the tip of this Peacemaker up to it-" He shifted the blaster pistol up and down sightly so she'd now what he meant. "-and I'll be right here with you, just to help guide the shot. You'll be doing most of the work... I'll be fine..." Gremlin continued to wait by the hall to the crew quarters, watching the pair curiously as he waited obediently with his head slightly tilting back and forth while he watched their exchange.

[Seela]

Well, Seela had tought she was assertive enough, but it would seem that Kyosuke had more of a backbone than she tought... The twi'lek pouted, her temporary victorious mood soured for the moment. Then the man proceeded to expose his new plan while deconstructing hers and pointing out the flaws in her reasoning.
Seela was so busy internally grumbling and very maturely calling him names, that she didn't notice the flying gun, nor the fact that the peacemaker hadn't been in his possession before that stunt.

Leaning towards the table, like normal people do, she put the blanket and the pillow down, and grabbed the chip instead.

"Okay, so... You open that thing, then I toss that shit up outside the ship, the thingy floats up, I point the shooty side of this other thing to the shitty thingy, and shoot, and then kaboom, and that's it?"

Seela then took Gremlin as a witness, hoping it might have a stronger impact, Seela looked towards the ceiling, and adressed the ship.

"Hey, Ship-person! Would you and Gremlin mind helping out to make sure Kyosuke really gets the rest he needs, once we get rid of the implant?"

Seela then looked to Kyosuke, daring him to do something stupid again, while taking the blaster and testing the weight of it.

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"Look, Seela..." The young man narrowed his eyes at her as he slightly shifted his body up to stand a little more straight, feeling a second wind hit him while he tensed his muscles. "She is literally only programmed to obey commands that begin with her proper name. Like this." Gremlin of course had cheered at Seela's request and nodded happily.

"Shini-" Kyo squinted his eyes at Seela and slightly puffed his cheek. "-once we destroy this implant..." He paused and squinted even harder at Seela with another hint of blush poking through. "...make sure I get to bed..." He mumbled quietly with a very reluctant expression.

"I'm not sure I understood your request." Shini didn't even bother to make her response sincere in the slightest. Kyosuke let out a sigh and palmed his face.

"Make sure I get to bed!" Kyo blushed darkly and made a very grumpy face at Seela, having to admit he capitulated to her and even had to repeat it louder. It wasn't quite a yell, but he did bring it up enough over the chill atmospheric music, and was maybe a tiiiny bit flustered by it. "Help Seela and Gremlin get me the rest I need..." Gremlin cheered again, happily moving his legs up and down several times.

"Understood. Key-Oh's - rest time - queued for -- destruction of implant." Kyo assumed Shini didn't actually understand what the implant was, so it probably meant they were going to have to tell her when it was destroyed. He let out a soft shrug and tried to regain his focus as he looked up at the airlock.

"And Shini..." Kyo looked over to Seela. "-power to the dorsal shields on Seela's command."

"Understood. Shields awaiting - Sea-Luh's - command." The pleasant voice seemed to have no qualms with the request.

"You got it right, except you're going to have to tell her when to open the airlock. Make sure you say her name, then command her to open the lounge's dorsal docking airlock. Just like that, okay?" He wasn't sure how specific she'd actually need to be, but he figured might as well be as clear for the AI as possible.

"Then that door right above us is gonna open, and most of the oxygen in here will be ripped out while the airlock is open. It'll be mostly bad at first, but the life support systems will kick in enough to keep us safe. So try not to breathe once we open it. The ship's gravity should be able to hold us. Then once you've thrown the implant up, let it float away from us a little bit, we'll have plenty of time -- so don't rush the shot. As soon as you're ready to take the shot, you're gonna have to time telling Shini 'Shields', while the bolt is far enough away from the ship, which means you'll probably want to tell her that as we fire. Don't panic if we miss. We'll just rinse and repeat until we got it, okay?"

Kyosuke would give Seela a few moments to gather all that, then would gently slide his hand over the back off hers, trying to be calm and reassuring as he braced her grip on the Peacemaker's handle with his own, prepared to guide her hand up to their target. "Whenever you're ready..."


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was flabbergasted. She just got a proper scolding, with the emphasis on her name, and the eyes narrowing! She wasn't sure how she felt about it, nor really how to react! At the very least, she knew she had adorable little Gremlin on her side, for now...
But before Seela could decide how to react to this event, Kyosuke chose to demonstrate the "right" way to interact with the ship. Kyosuke had seemed to gain some confidence while reprimanding her, and explaining how to interact with the AI, but then he seemed to lose the momentum gained, and quite reluctantly command the ship.
Seela was happy to note that the ship seemed to also act a bit petty against the man, and not only against her. Plus, the ship had agreed to help make sure Kyosuke had rest...

Alright! 1 : Shini open dorsal docking airlock. 2 : don't breathe. 3 : toss implant. 4 : let implant float up + aim. 5 : fire + Shini shields. 6 : don't panic.

Seela closed her eyes, and centered herself, repeating the sequence to follow in her mind until she felt confident enough she wouldn't mess it up. Taking some deep breaths, then focusing her mind, she let her "awareness"of the space flood her, visualising the events happening, before nodding to Kyosuke, and taking a deeper breath. Looking up, she opened her crystaline white orbs.

"Shini, open the dorsal docking airlock!"

Seela held her breath, waiting for the door to open completely, she then made sure to give enough strenght in her toss so that it would continue floating up, despite the change in gravity.
Closing her eyes, she let that mysterious sense she always had take the reins, feeling the ship, Kyosuke, little gremplin, and the chip, floating upwards.
With her eyes still closed, she switched to hold the blaster with both of her hands, then raised the barrel, pointing it towards the implant, made sure her aim was steady, her finger on the trigger.

"Shini" FIRE "Shields!"

Seela's mind's eye followed the path of the bolt, heading straight for the implant, waiting for the explosion, still holding her breath.

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

Oxygen raged around the pair as the Shinigami's airlock hissed open. Gremlin cheered loudly, his magnetically charged footpads holding him mostly in place as his head tilted towards the airlock by the pull of forces coming from it. Kyosuke's left arm wrapped around the front of Seela's hips, embracing the Twi'lek much closer as he tried to keep her body from moving as much as possible.

Kyo tried to ignore the way her backside felt against his front, tried to focus on the implant above them instead of the soft bumps that he unintentionally squeezed tighter against himself. In all the commotion he didn't notice the pillow, blanket, and tools next to them as they began to stretch out sightly from each other, trapped between the ship's gravity and the oxygen that whipped around them wildly.

Then he felt a hint of an intention from her. The intention to fire. To destroy the last thing holding her back. To set her free.

A swell of tides washed up around the pair as Kyo focused his Sense on the implant, driving the light side up to swirl around them and keep their nerves calm in the moment. His hand moved ever so slightly, but it seemed she'd basically already had the shot perfectly lined up. And then she'd pulled the trigger just after the steadied Knight managed to flick the fire selector to 'lethal'.

The DG-34 Peacemaker's azure blaster bolt leapt from the pistol and flew directly to their target. The Shinigami's upper shields flared to life just as the implant burst into a somewhat condensed explosion, throwing bits of debris and shrapnel down upon on the ship's translucent shield.

"Shini!" Kyo yelled out with nearly the last of the breath he'd held. "Close airlock!" Was all he could muster, but it was enough. The airlock above them hissed shut, the pillow and blanket flopped back down onto the tools that had been rattling under them, and Gremlin let out a very satisfied, "Whew!"

Kyo panted softly with his chin next to Seela's neck. His left hand slowly began to let go of the girl's hip, gently traveling down along her skin until his gentle touch fell away. His right hand released hers, slowly gliding down her arm until it too fell away. "Good... job..." His heavy eyelids shook and nearly closed, struggling to stay open as finally everything they'd needed to do was done.

The drowsy boy's weight would press against the girl's back and shoulders. 'Finally... Can get some... real rest...' His energy and adrenaline seemed to wash away. It looked like he could fade and collapse at any moment.


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was totaly engrossed by the glorious sight that was the small explosion. Finally, free!
She hadn't really processed that part yet, nor the numerous toughts and feelings related to it, but in that moment, at least, she felt in awe.
Explosions were a sight to behold! The suddennness, the speed, the power displayed, and the colors! All hues of yellows, oranges, reds, even some blues and greens! And that magnificent warm golden light!
Not even the airlock closing brought her back to reality!
Seela had no idea exactly what she felt in that moment, she didn't really care to try and make sense of it, she just knew she liked it a lot.

Seela stumbled forward a little when an unexpected weight pressed on her. Steadying herself brought her back to the moment, where she realised Kyosuke was very much in the process of fainting... Again!
Seela couldn't fathom how the man had survived up until now, seeing how he seemed to be actively trying to self destruct!
Shaking her head, and lightly slapping him with one of her lekkus in the same movement, she turned her body to deposit the weapon on the table, sliding her arm around his middle, and grabbed the blanket and pillow from where she left them.
Doing so, she saw the tools, laying there, and the knives, and realised that hadn't the pillow and blanket been there, quite unpleasant things could have happened when the airlock opened!
Seela murmured her thankfulness to the powers that be, and then focused on the task of dragging a fading Kyosuke to his bed.

Mostly dragging the man, more than just holding him up, Seela took them to his quarters, where she unceremoniously dumped him on his bed, before actually laying him correctly, and checking his wounds.
Seeing that his bruises hadn't significantly darkened and expanded, she was relieved to scrape the possibility of serious internal bleeding off the list. She was also relieved to see that the gash at his side didn't start bleeding again. This was good. As long as he rested enough, Kyosuke would be just fine in a few days.
Seela then proceeded to remove his boots, and other things that might make his sleep less comfortable, laying those on the floor at the foot of his bed. Then she properly tucked him in, with his blanket and pillow that very much saved their asses not more than five minutes earlier.

"Now sleep! If I see you out of bed for any other reason than the refresher in the next six hours, I will not hesitate to march you back to bed, and make sure you can't get up again myself! Gremlin, you stay with him, and if he looks like he's thinking about getting up, raise hell! Shini, once I'm out of the room, keep the door closed! I'll be by later to check up on you."

Seela then went out of the room, and went to gather the tools from the table, bundling them carefuly like Kyosuke had brought them. She then sighed and looked at the ceiling, adressing the AI.

"Shini, would you mind guiding me to the place where Kyosuke took the tools from so I can put them away properly?"

Seela knew she would have to take a decision on what to do with her collar, or at the very least, where to store it, but she gladly let those toughts for future-Seela to figure out. One thing at a time.

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

Kyosuke nodded weakly, not saying a word as he put the last of his focus and willpower into forcing his feet to move. Just enough so the girl wouldn't have to drag him to his bed, too much anyway. His dim blues were barely open, no longer blocked by his raven locks. Gremlin whimpered worriedly as he led the pair into Kyo's private chamber, watching them with a hint of concern on the way as he somewhat drew into himself and tilted his head at them.

'I'll be fine buddy... Don't worry...' Kyo couldn't find the strength to bring the words out. The exhausted Knight barely managed a groan as he transitioned from Seela's support to his bed. He winced at the pain of the large laceration on his side as he twisted and turned while he brought his legs up onto the mattress and struggled to straighten his body along it. His head fell toward the wall for a moment, and his nearly glazed gaze lazily fell upon the window next to him, Seela's dim reflection next to his own as he stared out into the pitch-black cavern through the transparisteel. He didn't even seem to notice the boots and equipment that she removed from him.

He would only last a few more moments before he then slowly turned his dim pale gaze back to Seela's pearl orbs, hesitating as he found himself lost in her enchanting eyes once again. "T-thank you..." A soft blush barely glowed on his wary cheeks. 'You can...' "...sleep in that bed..." '...over there...' the fading boy's finger trembled ever so sightly as he tried to point across the hall to the single-bed co-pilot's quarters across the hall from his room. His head would then slump back gently, his heavy eyes would close, and his body would go limp.

Gremlin let out a soft whine while he watched his friend pass out, finally hopefully able to get an actual long rest after the extenuating day that had exhausted them both. The little scout droid would look up at Seela and coo quietly at her, before he then gently pushed his head down against her shin to try and comfort himself. He'd then look back up at her then to Kyo, watching her and his bestie closely...


Shini obeyed her earlier command to help Kyo get rest. The already very dim blue glow of the chamber's dark lighting faded even lower until the room was finally cast in darkness, barely lit from the dim lighting that came from the hall. And then the chill music would lower in volume, becoming a very low and mellow lull that barely rose above the soft ambient sounds of the Shinigami at rest. Shini would then continue to obey Seela's command and requests. Directing her to where she wanted to go, and keeping the door to Kyo's chamber closed while Gremlin remained alone inside, watching over his bestie as the boy remained peacefully asleep.


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Satisfied, Seela followed the ship's directions, being somewhat creeped out by the dim lighting, and the utter stillness surrounding them. She quickly found the workstation, where she deposited the bundle of tools on a clear spot of the desk-table-thing.
Seela silently hurried upstairs, even while telling herself that being scared of the dark stillness was silly, and childish.

Arriving back in the lounge area, Seela lightly snorted as she remembered Kyosuke slurring something that vaguely resembled "sleep" while pointing to the quarters across from his. Seela didn't feel tired, but she figured after the day she had, it might be a good idea to rest a bit. So, she bent down to pick up her shoes and her collar from the floor, holding it open, then silently padded to the door to where she had been told to sleep.

Once in the room, Seela neatly stacked her collar on top of her heels, then turn to the bed, and realised how cold she had been feeling since leaving the club. Shivering, she nodded to herself, then padded to Kyosuke's door, listening and "feeling" for him or any noises from the room for a few seconds, making sure the man was actually sleeping, and that the little droid wasn't in trouble. Then, Seela went back across the hall, keeping the door open, and settled in the warmth of the bed, letting the tension slowly seep from her.
She didn't really sleep, as it would be quite nearly impossible in such circonstances, but still fell in a resting state, eyes closed, her senses tuned in for any noise that might come from Kyosuke's room, or anything that could be a potential threat.

[Kyosuke Yamato]

inside The Hollow
onboard the Shinigami
​

The ship would remain calm and peaceful for the night. The chill atmospheric melody continuing on through a few more similar mixes as one hour turned into two, and then three...



At least 10 hours had passed since Seela laid Kyosuke to rest and left him without so much as a "good night". 'She probably never even heard that before, now that I think about it...' Kyo had barely begun to stir, his murky blue eyes barely open. The events of the night before played through his mind on loop.

It had been an extremely rough day for the Shadow. From the moment he was slashed across his side by his bounty's concealed blade, to being beaten nearly to death and left for dead, and that wasn't even the full extent of it. At least Gremlin had been nearby and made it back to him in time to save him with his last medical stim pack.

Then there was... The orgy... The club flashed back into his mind. Seela... being taken advantage of by her and tricked into some wacky special event, though for good reason apparently. The spotlight, freezing him and triggering his deep-seated timid nature. The slap on the rear. Being taken onto the bed, clothes removed against his will, though he reluctantly accepted it since he was getting patched up at the time. The intimate touches that roused every fiber of his being...

Kyo took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His fingers dug up into the corners of them. It was all he could see in his dream - or maybe even nightmare - last night. Dozens of scantly-clad dancers swarming his little bed, cornering him in his private chamber and having their way with him. It played in repeat. There was nothing he could do to stop it, and part of him didn't even want it to end. But he didn't really know where it went from there. He wasn't familiar with the next steps that came in the orgy after all the teasing. He was still innocent.

A shaky breath left the boy. He sat with his back curled against the edge of the bed and window, left knee up and supporting his elbow as it was pinned between his thigh and head. 'What was all that anyway? Why does it feel like my heart is still pounding from that... Orgy?' He then opened his eyes enough to see Gremlin at his feet. No light coming from the droid, who must've powered down at some point in the night. A mix between a smile and frown pursed up on the corner of the boy's lip. He gently placed his other hand on top of the motionless droid's head, and closed his eyes as he took a moment to thank his friend for being at his side.

After a few moments his mind then replayed even more events. Escaping Nar Shaddaa with Seela. His wound being cauterized by her. Passing out and waking back up to set her free at last. 'I wonder how she's doing...' He then went to move, but felt just enough pain in his main wound that he decided to stay in bed. "Hnngh... Maybe not yet..." He rested for a moment, not sure if Seela was aware of how he was doing or not. He'd barely raise his voice as he called out for her. "Seela?"


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela had been walking around the ship, with a very boring (but fashionable!) solid black blanket toga/cape/cloak for a few minutes, familiarizing herself with the lay out, and she was walking down the hallway where the bedrooms were, when she heard some mutterings coming from Kyosuke's room. Hurrying to the door, she was popping her head inside, when Kyosuke called for her.

"Oh, you're awake! Welcome to the world of the living! Feeling better?"

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"Hey. I uhh... feel a little better. Thank you for all your help..." Kyo slowly let his hand fall away from Gremlin's motionless chassis as he used it to brace the edge of his bed in order to turn his head a little more so he could face Seela. The dim blue lights had barely come on when Shini sensed his movements, casting a faint azure hue on his skin. He blushed slightly and used his other hand to close his black shimmersilk cloak around his chest, the boy's mind still fresh on the events of the prior night.

It was then that his stomach would grumble at him, more than likely at enough of a volume that Seela would be able to hear it. Kyo slightly pouted and covered his tummy with his free hand. He somewhat looked away, not exactly wanting to let her know that he was hungry and probably was going to have to rely on her to help keep him fed if he was going to stay at rest. "How are you feeling?"


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela snockered at the slight lack of conviction in Kyosuke's words, giving him a very quick once over, noting some amelioration.

"Well, I can already tell you there's definitely an amelioration! Now you only look half dead!"

She was sooooo funny! Maybe she should become a comedian, later? Food for tought!
Speaking of food, Kyosuke's stomach chose this moment to make itself known, emitting a noise quite similar to an angry nerf...
Giggling a little, Seela nodded towards the door, remembering people need to eat.

"Right! Let's get you food before your stomach ends up consuming you! To the kitchen we go!"

Hoping to alleviate the tensions, Seela purposefully acted over the top, with all the required theatrics, while helping the man get up and slipping an arm around his middle, pointing towards the food included.

"No need to worry your pretty little head about me, I'm perfectly fine! You're the one that went running around while seriously injured!"

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"Yeah -- well..." Kyosuke puffed his cheek and pouted at the mention of him running around seriously injured. She wasn't wrong, and he knew it. He didn't even finish retorting, he just bit down and grunted instead as he pushed the blanket off onto Gremlin's motionless body, accidently covering the little droid as he swept his feet down to the ground and wrapped an arm around the short girl's shoulder. "...Thanks..." He muttered and dropped his pout, slightly blushing as he found himself leaning on the girl for support once again while he kept the cloak covered over his chest with his free hand.

"I don't think I have much food left... was getting ready to go resupply soon. Get some more food, medical supplies... Silk." He narrowed his eyes grumpily and thought about his ripped up shirt. The boy tried not to burden the girl too much with his weight, and found himself able to walk a little easier than the night before. Still felt like he could use her support though. It wouldn't be quick, but after a few moments they'd be able to make it all the way to the couch in the lounge if Seela wanted to take him that far, where he'd also give her a nod and be ready to be sat down. "But we can worry about that later... should have enough to last a couple days. Probably shouldn't resupply back at Nar Shaddaa either..."


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela nodded along, moving them to the lounge, silently snorting as Kyosuke listed silk amongst the usual basic supplies he seemingly needed to get.

Rich people...

Seela then gently set him on the couch, pondering his words as she went to the fridge. Retrieving a few things she could recognize, she set about making a plate, then put it in the microwave, before turning back to Kyosuke.

"I'm pretty sure we should avoid resupplying on that planet in the near future... And maybe steer clear of hutt space if you don't absolutely need to go there... Might be an idea to target a place that has lots of traffic..."

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

'The Inner Core...' Not a place he cared for. Well, not that he could think of many places he was very fond of.

Kyo had braced himself against the back of the couch, shifting the ebb and flow with his renewed stamina to weave it across his more significant wounds, decently mitigating their pain in the process. His other arm slid away from Seela and moved to the cloak so he could keep it shut around him. Then he'd gently lowered himself and scooted back into the cushions. "Yeah. There are a couple places we could try. There's one called Coruscant. It's kinda like Nar Shaddaa, but filled with much more light. It's not nearly as shady either. I've only been there a couple times."

The reclusive Knight considered how many places they actually wouldn't even be able to go to, and thought about his connection to the Jedi in all of this. 'We should probably avoid the other Jedi for now, until I can figure out how I can repay Seela... Though, that debt kinda goes both ways I guess. Either way, I'm not sure what the others will think if they catch me walking around with her...' His azure gaze traced her up and down with a quickness, then he looked away as fast as he could in hopes that she wouldn't notice. '-especially looking like that...' He blushed a little, but thankfully she was pretty well covered up by the blanket.

'Maybe it's time I just blend into the rest of the galaxy...' His brows furrowed down toward his nose, his expression twisted with confusion and guilt. 'I... I don't know if I could just abandon the Order like that yet... I should be ready, but...' His eyes drifted to the left, and then to the right. Then hung down, and didn't move.


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela wrinkled her nose at the tought of something similar to nar shaddaa, then snorted at the idea of it not being shady. Then, she remembered a client talking about Coruscant briefly, a dealer or something. Turning back to take the plate and bring it to the table, what she saw there made the blood in her veins turn to ice.
Seela hurriedly deposited the plate on the table, nearly throwing herself at Kyosuke's feet.
Sadness wasn't something people should feel in her presence! If it happened, it meant bad things!!!
Seela prostrated herself on the floor, frantically apologizing for whatever came to mind, shaking all over.
Seela couldn't breath. The air... wasn't enough!
She had done something bad, she made him sad! Master would punish her!!! She would be beaten, then put in the box for a long time!!! No food!!! Bad!!!

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

'The Sith...'

He'd have to bleed the blade. Turn it red if he wanted to blend in so he could keep both of them safe in a galaxy where they would eventually grow to consume it like a parasite. He heard a muffled sound, but it didn't pull his attention away. A tug from the hall, a creeping sensation up his spine. The dark side lingered at the edge of the pair, prodding their senses as it tested them to find a way inside their minds. 'I doubt I could bring myself to do it...' His breath finally released, then his fuzzy vision blurred and refocused.

Seela was on the verge of breaking into tears. Kyo tilted his head toward her, his mind pulling away from the dark and back to the light as he felt something kick in his heart. "What- what's wrong?" His dim blues flickered in a random gleam of light, shinning brightly as he gazed down into her pearls with a much brighter sheen across the surface of his orbs. "Is everything alright?"


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

"ImsorryImsorryImsorry, I will do better I promise!!! Pleasepleaseplease, not the box!!!!"

Seela had a flash realisation in that instant. She was wearing too much fabric! That's what she did wrong!

Stupid! Bad! Useless **** !

Seela then hastily attempted to remove the blanket, fumbling a lot due to her shaking and panicked state.

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

The young Knight's head jerked to the side, even more confused than he had been. He looked at Seela with an expression of compassionate empathy, then gently reached down to her hands. His cloak fell open, but he didn't seem to notice or care as his grip warmly pressed around hers. The light side swept up around the two, pushing the dark side back to the corners from whence it came as Kyo focused in on Seela.

"It's okay. You've done nothing wrong. Nobody is ever going to put you in the box, ever again." The Knight would kneel down to Seela's level, and wrap her in his warm embrace while he continued to concentrate on the benevolence of the light side and their personal missions for each other. "You'll be safe as long as you stick with me... I'll make sure of it..."


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was reliving punishment of the past, when she suddenly found herself encased in warmth. That soft warmth was so... peaceful... no pain came from what Seela could now identify as mere memories.
Somehow making "grabby-hands" to the light in her mind, she focused on the steady heart beat sound nearby. The ebb and flow of a calm breathing which wasn't hers. Seela concentrated on matching them, slowly coming back to her senses , basking in the light that somehow didn't physically illuminate the place. The promise of no more box-time was very tempting.
Then she came back to reality, and felt... oddly exposed, so she tugged the blanket on her head, somewhat feeling the need to hide. Then, she cleared her throat, looking down.

"Sorry, that was... embarrassing... hem..."

@AdventCore
