Thursday's Breakfast (Full Of Woe)
Delirium sat still at the kitchen table, as pale nimble fingers braided her hair. The fingers worked through the knots and tangles in the thick curly hair as the braids were tightly made. Delirium tried to keep her head still and sighed softly.
"You hair is getting very long, it looks nice like this." A soft voice told her, as she twisted her hair out of the way and finished the last braid. Delirium touched the plaits in her hair and looked at the woman who was not there with sad longing. "Is it not getting any better, sister?"
"nO, i wiSH yOU WEre hERe anD DOn't sAY YOU aRE. thiS Doesn'T COunt, thiS is jUST me beiNG mad." Delirium said, turning her back on her sister to look at the fish she'd caught this morning before she started breakfast. They swam eagerly around in the bucket, darting back and forth as she broke the surface of the water with her fingers. "i LikE THem aLL, i Love thEM BUT thEY're nOT you. thEY're not...famiLY. OrpHeus is GOne, Dream, yoU- i'D eVEN Have Desire herE if iT Just mEANT havinG one of yOU HERe with mE."
"We are here! We're here everytime you fall asleep, everytime you're sad, everytime something dies. We're always here," The voice told her pressing imaginary lips against her youngest sister's cheek.
"You aRe?" Delirium asked and looked at where her sister...had been. She wasn't sure what was hurting most; the hallucinations or them not being here. "whEN i gET Home i AM haviNG WOrds with ME."
Delirium picked up a doughnut and shoved it in her mouth, glumly. At least she could count on herself even if her siblings were nowhere to be found.
[[OOC:Breakfast today is Freshly made Vanilla Ice Cream, Apple pie & Cinnamon Loukoumades (Doughnuts). Coffee is as always very strong, very black and very yum. Tag one, Tag all. :)]]
