Comments | grey_of_heart: v2.0 - this is a dark ride

[Slowly nods, in reassurance. Gently, slowly, he extends a hand to help Gabriel out. Clasp it, push it away, or hold on to stand up, it's his choice, but he needs to make sure Gabriel is also 'okay'.]

[He stares at the hand. It's bare--no gloves, no rubber gauntlets, no white smock or ... ]

[From the depths of memory, one word surfaces.]

Mayfield.

[He takes Mori's hand.]

[Another nod. Now, begins standing up, and, lightly, tugging on Gabriel's hand, encourages him to do the same.

awwhhh <3 grey_of_heart April 24 2010, 04:48:23 UTC

[He didn't want to get up. The ground was solid and didn't move, and he wanted to be there. But if he could move he wouldn't be trapped and this man wasn't one of them.]

[So, he stood up on wobbly legs, avoiding Mori's gaze.]

[Continues holding onto his hand, an assurance that he wasn't going anywhere. He'd be there for his 'father'. He then gestures to himself, trying to remind Gabriel.]

... Mori.

[Looks around. Where are the walls {don't like the walls)? The sky is perfect blue, with white clouds and the sun shining, warm against his skin.]

[Words aren't coming together, all smashed up and gluey, but he hears.]

[Hand squeeze]

serverofshota April 24 2010, 17:41:47 UTC

[Returns the squeeze, as soft as possible. Adds on.]

17...68... Beaver Street.

[His lips move, 1, 7, 6, 8, Bea... ver? Blink.]

How long?

serverofshota April 25 2010, 00:17:20 UTC

[Since gabriel was droned? he tries to count in his head.]

... Two months.

grey_of_heart April 25 2010, 01:36:20 UTC

[He looks up into the sky again. Only two? It seemed so very much longer.]

Good to... to be back.

[Wait, what? If it's any consolation, he doesn't sound all that enthused, but he's not being sarcastic, either.]

serverofshota April 25 2010, 01:38:58 UTC

[... well, as long as we're being honest.]

... Missed you.

grey_of_heart April 25 2010, 01:46:19 UTC

[A long, drawn out sigh. His mind is slowly sorting itself out, but it's still a mess.]

...

[another hand squeeze, and a little lean against the young man. It's just nice to hear it, and to have human contact that wasn't meant to harm.]
