*This time, there isn't a garden. It's not peaceful. There is no angel looking after your soul.

You're dead, and you're growing cold and tired - as though the life were being slowly leeched out of you. Which it is, and going to create a new barrier for the shepherd.*

[i sure don't know what's going on right now]

[cureworsethan]

*hey, I don't even know why I'm here*

Parker?

[stolengood]

[flinches a little but otherwise doesn't really seem to hear. hugging herself :(]

[cureworsethan]

*touches her shoulder?*

[stolengood]

[flinches away, but looks at him (and actually see him) and starts crying 8T]

[cureworsethan]

*no, that's not what you were supposed to do*

Parker... What's going on here?

[stolengood]

[arms still wrapped around her, she goes up and puts her forehead against his chest, as the only point of contact. wipes at her nose and eyes with her sleeve, snuffling]

Wolf game. That -- [frustrated noise] you were... and they had to...

[cureworsethan]

*pulls her closer, hugging*

Ah, I see, I see... It's alright.

[stolengood]

[grabbing onto his shirt and smooshing her face into his chest and sobbing. sorry bro]

[cureworsethan]

*it's okay, just going to hold onto her while she cries, letting her get it out*

[stolengood]

[is at it for a little bit and then pulls away, wiping her face with her sleeves and clearing her throat. Of course not anywhere near making eye contact with him]

I didn't really know anyone.

[cureworsethan]

You know me, and I'm here now?

*lets her pull back some, but not get away entirely*

[stolengood]

[...nods. holding onto his shirt again, but not as tightly]

[cureworsethan]

Ah... It'll be okay.

[stolengood]

[puts a hand up to her neck, double-checking it, and nods]

[cureworsethan]

*touches her neck, sort of guessing what happened from that*
