[Again? So there was more to what Elliot's dream of Vanessa's death than what Noel saw? Looking at the whole thing, the only one who could have killed her was...

No. It can't be. Noel can't believe it.

She won't believe it. She had faith in him, and no matter the odds, she won't doubt him.

Still... The young soldier had been trying so long to befriend her, so of course she had to ask out of concern:]

M-Miss Vanessa... Will you, um... Will you be okay?

stfuelly February 20 2011, 05:51:53 UTC

[It takes her a moment to reply, half of it spent internally screaming for this place being cruel enough to broadcast her internal thoughts (memories?) for everyone to see, and the other half trying to get herself to take a deep enough breath to speak.]

Of course I will be...it was only a dream.

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 06:00:28 UTC

It seemed a little too connected to be a dream, but... If you're really sure, then I won't try to convince you otherwise. That'd be cruel.

[Wow. Their troubles were just as bad as Noel's, if not worse.]

Umm... Miss Vanessa? I-If you need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen...

stfuelly February 20 2011, 06:01:50 UTC

What - what are you talking about, 'if you're really sure'?! I was sleeping, obviously it was a dream!

[Logic is fucking awesome.]

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 06:06:44 UTC

[... WHY ARE YOU AND YOUR BROTHER SO DENSE AT TIMES LIKE THESE. ;A;]

T-That's not what I meant! I... I mean, sometimes, you can dream about a memory, right? I mean, remember when I dreamed about the time my parents found and named me?!

stfuelly February 20 2011, 06:13:51 UTC

[It's a Nightray trait, okay. >:]

That was different! This never happened! I would have remembered it...

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 06:30:14 UTC

Th-That's why I said I won't convince you otherwise... Still, I can't help but worry about both you and Elliot, so... I-If there's anything I can help with...!

stfuelly February 20 2011, 06:33:17 UTC

[Her eyes shut, and she wraps the blanket a little tighter around herself. Defensive? Heavens no.]

There's no need to worry about either of us.

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 08:49:26 UTC

[She sighs. When Noel makes a decisions, it's hard to sway her from it.]

There might not be any need to, but I still feel that way. I may not need to help, but I want to. I... I may be a little clumsy and emotional, but, um... I hope you could trust me a bit more.

((ooc: also, tagging on my phone is pretty hard, so I'm going to hold off on Lily's tags until later. \o))

stfuelly February 20 2011, 08:52:51 UTC

[ooc - no prob, bro.]

...My brother trusts you. Doesn't he?

[Careful how you answer that, Noel. She's not so stable at the moment.]

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 09:06:32 UTC

[IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION? D: However, Noel gives her answer without any thought.]

Yes, he trusts me.

stfuelly February 20 2011, 09:07:31 UTC

[NOT AT ALL. These are normal big-sister questions.]

And what is it that you've done to gain his trust, exactly?

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 09:21:21 UTC

[is this how it feels to be gilbert, noel wonders Oh god, Noel was being interrogated again. To make matters worse, she had already realized her... affection towards Elliot, so this line of question had become a tad more uncomfortable than before.]

It's more like... I started trusting him first. We always had the tendency to wind up in strange situations thanks to our job and this world, so it's more like that trust was a result of all that's happened.

stfuelly February 20 2011, 09:24:57 UTC

[Nah, Gilbert gets punched too.]

But he trusted that thing and I just don't understand how - how all of this could have--!

[She cuts herself off there. Shit. Nothing about this is okay. She's vulnerable and not in a state where she can hold an actual conversation properly. A Nightray never lets another get the upper hand on anything.]

bloomtrigger February 20 2011, 09:45:53 UTC

[Noel Vermillion? Getting the upper hand in anything? Pssssh. When pigs fly.

She tilts her head to the side in confusion.]

'Thing'...? What are you talking about? I-If you don't mind me asking...

[If it's the boy with the glasses, then that's not a very nice thing to call someone!]

stfuelly February 20 2011, 16:04:21 UTC

[Look out the window, there might be one flying past, because she's definitely floundering a little bit here.]

That child...his servant! How could he have trusted him? He just ran off like that while his master wasn't even conscious! Why did he think that he could protect him! That...that weak thing...
