third phase ❁ action

[phasingly]

[There's a girl wandering the darkened woods tonight, looking weary and very much lost. She's limping a little as she walks, hugging herself against the night chill and trying to calm herself down enough to hear over her heartbeat pounding in her ears

[Well that startles her just a little. She stifles a scream at the sudden contact, making something of a squeak instead, and goes into the phase. Now completely intangible, she passes through Sheik like a ghost, only to stumble in the wet leaves and land on her butt.]

W-who are you?

[phasingly]

[She puts her hand to her chest, breathes. He looks strange with his face covered like that, but he seems like he's trying to be nice, and she knows never to judge a book by its cover.]

You startled me.

[phasingly]

[She slowly stands and takes the cloak, giving him a weak smile.]

Thank you.

[phasingly]

[She takes his hand and leans on him a little as they walk, still limping noticeably.]

I don't know why the Malnosso keep dumping me here. I guess it's too much to ask to be dropped off in my nice, cozy bed and stay there.

[It's too dark to read his lips clearly, unfortunately, but she can see he's trying to communicate. She's not sure if he's always like this, or something happened to him. Either way she feels a little sorry for him. Kitty loves to talk.]

Sorry - I can't see what you're saying.

[phasingly]

[Oh, neat! And she can read him much better this time.]

Home would be nice. Community Building Seven. I'm lucky I live on the first floor.

[phasingly]

[And she lets him lead her, hobbling more and more as they walk. She certainly hopes it won't be far. Her head is swimming.]

I can't believe they just - do this to people.

[phasingly]

It's right here. [She leans toward her apartment door.] Number two.
