Looks like we made it through another October. About damn time it was over, too.

...Couldn't agree more.

[She comes sit beside him, still looking a bit drained but considerably better than when they crawled their way out of the Underground a day ago. Oh no, Ken's not the only one who's been avoiding people. She's contemplating returning home tonight.]

I think I made it to November in one piece. The jury's still out on that one.

[ ooc: Here! ♥ ]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:37:35 UTC

...Ken, you can tell me.

[Her tone is worried but not insistent. She'll respect his not wanting to deal with whatever it is right now. Probably the curse of the day. She may find out in a few hours.]

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:39:20 UTC

I said it was nothing.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:41:00 UTC

[She takes a deep breath and nods, evidently making an effort to just drop it.]

Fine, then.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:45:16 UTC

[Even as he falls silent, there's guilt etched in the lines of his body, a tension that hadn't been there earlier.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:47:20 UTC

[And it's killing her to notice... Something upset him, on top of everything. Umi's rather willing to take whatever did it and put it through a very painful death, but it'd likely have to be the City at large.]

Ken...

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:54:06 UTC

... someone just killed a child in this City. He's cursed and will regret doing it when it's all over. I hate a place that does crap like this to people.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:58:34 UTC

[Her first impulse is to get up and run to the door, and it's by a very noticeable effort that all she does is get up, hands clenched into fists.]

...Will it stop any day?? Any day NOW!!

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 04:00:23 UTC

[If she tries, he'll stop her. Neither of them are in good enough shape to deal with a vamped out Xander.]

Hopefully, we'll get a break from bad curses as soon as this one is over.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 04:03:54 UTC

...I killed two people knowing--! ...being sure it was the only way. This place??

[She has to get it off her chest at least once. It feels stiffing. And learning what's still going on out there is slowly adding to that last straw.]

It's been doing NOTHING but remind me of that since the damn month started! Along with hurting everyone I love! And now this??

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 04:11:06 UTC

[Lips pursed in a tiny scowl, he shifts a little before he stands up, his expression guarded as he stalks towards the door of his bedroom.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 04:13:56 UTC

[Breathing heavily, she watches him get up, emotions still welling inside her making her sight blurry.

She feels like she wishes to say something but can't find the words.]

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 04:30:29 UTC

[He pauses with his hand on the door, his gaze locked on the wood.]

... we both need to catch up on sleep.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 04:33:10 UTC

[Easier said than done, is what she thinks. She manages not to voice it. Ken needs rest and so does she. And she's doing nothing to help him by letting the weight of her own issues get to her now. She'll stand by him, learn to be stronger than this.]

...You're right.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 12:07:39 UTC

Go back to bed and try, then. We'll deal with the rest in a couple of hours.

[Couple of hours meaning when the nightmares wake him up in a cold sweat.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 15:55:15 UTC

...Will do. [Another nod. At least she's going to give it a try. Her magic isn't even back to her yet.

Even if Umi's tone was angry and anguished before, it gains determination as she looks up at Ken.]

You're not alone. You know that, don't you? Aya and I are here for you.
