[Against his initial (better) judgment Fay's on the second level to check on a couple of people- see how they're doing and what have you. He's not as tough as, say, Jade is, however, and it's probably somewhat obvious that he's not having a great time of late.]I guess we should have expected something to start going wrong, considering how

Do you hear them too, Fay?

[disconnectedly]

Yes.

Yes, I do.

[amberorgtfo]

Do they hurt you?

[disconnectedly]

It's just-

[a pause, and a shake of the head]

It's hard to listen to. That's all.

[amberorgtfo]

I don't really hear it. At first it was strange, but now it's just like listening to the radio while reading. If you don't pay attention to it, you get desensitized and then it gets easier to listen to.

[disconnectedly]

I'll try that.

It's good advice.

[only sort of paying attention, sorry Maki!]

[amberorgtfo]

[Isn't affected by the voices, or being slightly ignored. So just... Watches you, Fay. After a bit of silence, he then just simply reaches up and grabs your arm.]

[disconnectedly]

[wasn't expecting that; looks down at Maki, at the sudden contact, a bit surprised]

... Yes?

[amberorgtfo]

Amber and I used to hold hands. It made me feel strange, but good. Maybe it will do the same for you.

[disconnectedly]

[doesn't reply right away, but then smiles a bit]

Thank you, Maki.

It helps.

[amberorgtfo]

Good.

[Doesn't say anything more. Just holds Fay's hand and is line faced like a good little Contractor.]

[disconnectedly]

[is almost amused at Maki's poker face]

Would you mind staying with me, until I can find Fai?

[amberorgtfo]

I wouldn't mind. I'll stay with you as long as you want, Fay.

[disconnectedly]

I appreciate it.
