Face has never been so glad to see his quarters in his life

Comments

[majorinyri]

Storming through the door is where she is. Wyn is dumped on the armchair as Inyri goes for the fresher. Then backtracks and stares at Face. "Hi."

Her hair is mussed, her eyes red, and she's defnitely been crying.

[blackbanthaboy]

"'Nyri," Face says, sitting up sharply, a movement that makes him grimace at the pain in his chest. "What's - what's going on?"

He's thought plenty about seeing her again, after he woke up in the infirmary and they said she'd gone home, but he hadn't envisioned it like this.

[majorinyri]

"I quit Rogue Squadron." The words tumble from her mouth. "And I messed up again, and again, Face, and I can't stop."

She hovers at the end of the bed, almost like she's afraid to step closer.

[blackbanthaboy]

Face is on his feet.

"You what."

He's almost afraid to reach out for her.

What has she done?

[majorinyri]

"I quit. I can't do it anymore...Wedge let me...I..." she drifts off, a panicked expression on her face.

[blackbanthaboy]

Face takes a quick step towards her, reaching out to pull her close.

"Oh, 'Nyri."

[majorinyri]

She takes a half-step back before taking the three forward, clinging to him. "I can't remember how to feel anything but terror."

Her wrists sting.

[blackbanthaboy]

Face holds her tight, as if somehow that'll make it all better.

"You need help."

And more help than he can provide.

[majorinyri]

Her face scrunches up, "obviously."

It's cold because she's so sick of hearing those words out of people's mouths.

So damned tired.

[blackbanthaboy]

Face bites his lip. That came out all wrong!

"'Nyri..."

[majorinyri]

She sighs, pushing hair out of her face. "I'm going to Corellia."

She sits on the edge of the bed, reaching a hand out to him. "I'm sorry."

Sorry you have to deal with this.

[blackbanthaboy]

"You - shouldn't," Face says, and moves stiffly to sit beside her, one arm tightening around her shoulders. "You - Inyri, what - what can I do?"

To stop you self-destructing?

[majorinyri]

"It's the best thing I can do. I need to get off Kessel...not go to Coruscant...can't stay here." Inyri babbles into his neck as she clings to him. "I have a place I can go...I've got a sister there...I need this."

[blackbanthaboy]

"I'll miss you," is all he says, low and fierce, almost choking on it. It hurts so much to see her hurting, and he doesn't know how to fix her!

[majorinyri]

She tilts her head at him and runs her fingers through his hair and she almost feels silly in believing this tiny thing, but, "I'll be back. When I'm better."

She swallows hard and her gaze slides to her wrist, where a new cut burns...but isn't visible. "I need to be better."

[blackbanthaboy]

"You - don't have to go," Face says. "You could - you could stay. We could help you." A breath, uneven, and he adds "I can't help you, out there."
