[at first glance, the Allen wandering down the hall in the east wing this evening is like any other Allen. or at least, it's probably easier to keep the image in mind of it being an entirely normal Allen if you only spot him from behind. if you manage to catch a glimpse from the side or from in front of him, however... the scene changes rather

It'll take a while longer than before to get that feeling back, to remember that he's not alone, but it can come back.

Hardly anyone does, but it helps when you've been kicked down so hard you're no longer you anymore. Just...rest, Allen. It'll help, even if you don't sleep.

[in all honesty, he was a little sad to see the orange shirt wrecked. he'd been trying to prove a point with it - though if you'd ask him he wouldn't be able to properly explain just what that point was - and now it sort of... didn't seem to count.]
...but that works.

[Perhaps the DR will be nice and gift him another one in his closet as soon as that one is burned. It's a bright color, bright at least to the vampire.]
Come. [He lets go with a gentle smile.]

...it's this way, I think. [aaand starting off down the hall again. though, he won't wander very far from Allenpire at all, maybe just a few feet.]

Sounds right to me.

...when had he even properly gotten to know so many people?]
Can you tell where it is?

Allen tilts his head to the side a bit.] I can tell where your own scent is second strongest. Right now we're going in the right direction.

First strongest being here?

Right. [Soft smile.]
