Dance 11

[whatthequack]

I'm feeling a lot better now! I wanted to thank everybody for looking out for me and stuff, so... uh, thanks! I think all the stuff people brought me and told me to do really helped out. I do feel sorta bad for all the people that died, though... That sounds scary.

[Filtered from Fakir]Fakir's here now. I'm kinda glad to see him, but I don'

[knights_quill]

...You're all right now? I should've been around to help as well, dammit...

[whatthequack]

I think so. I feel pretty normal and I'm not coughing a lot anymore...

[knights_quill]

Good. Could I-- I miss-- I'd like to-- ...I'm dropping by.

[whatthequack]

You are?! Uhhh... okay.

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

[[Fakir pretty much hightailed it over to her address; he pretty much calculated in his head the quickest routes to get there by now, in case she ever called him for anything. Soon enough, he's knocking on her door.]]

...Oi.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

Huh? That was fast...

[And, sure enough, she hears the knock. At least he hadn't just barged in this time. She had been right, though. Something was definitely off about him.

She opens the door and gives him a small, if not slightly nervous smile.]

Oh, hi Fakir!

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

[[He looks her up and down. She certainly does seem to be better, and now that she's not sick, he's letting himself appreciate the fact that she's a girl again. And he likes hearing her voice.

But...]]

Come on. We're finding a way out.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

[She immediately give him a surprised and confused look.]

Wh-what?! B-but I don't think anybody's found a way yet!

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

And we're going to find one.

[[Ahiru's his muse; maybe he'll be able to write a story. At least to send her home, if not himself as well.

He reaches out to grasp her hand.]]

Come on.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

[She looks down at his hand in disbelief. Did he just grab her hand again? Even if he did want to leave as much as she did that just wasn't normal for him.]

Uhhhh... O-okay. B-but what are we going to do?

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

...The place I'm staying in right now.

[[He refuses to call that house and that room his.]]

I'll write a story to get you out of here.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

Oh, you think your power could get us home? I guess that might work.

[She frowns a little.]

But you just got here, so you might not be able to do it yet...

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

[[There's a twitch in his eyebrow.]]

This town is not stopping me from getting you home. Where you'll be safe.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

[She looks a bit apologetic. She doesn't want him to get any more irritated, especially with how strangely he's been acting, but he needed to know, right?]

Yeah, I know we need to get back. But sometimes when people come here they take everything from them, including their powers. I haven't had my pendant or been able to turn into anything since I got here...

[ In Person ]

[knights_quill]

[[He glances away. Is there honestly no way he can help her?]]

...I need to try. I won't let you get poisoned or sick any longer. You've been here for too long. You don't deserve this. Maybe I do, but you certainly don't.

[ In Person ]

[whatthequack]

O-Oh. Well, you can try, but if it doesn't work I at least warned you so you won't get mad or anything.
