third phase ❁ action

Oct 21, 2010 19:09

[There's a girl wandering the darkened woods tonight, looking weary and very much lost. She's limping a little as she walks, hugging herself against the night chill and trying to calm herself down enough to hear over her heartbeat pounding in her ears ( Read more... )

[Kurt has spent a lot of nights up on the top of building seven, just watching over the village. Maybe it makes him feel like Batman. Or maybe it just is something he can do when he's lonely. On this particular night, however, he thinks he spots someone stumbling home from the woods. Is that who he thinks it is?]

onebluebamf October 22 2010, 19:26:50 UTC

[He crouches on the arm of the couch on the opposite side. He puts on a smile.]

Oh, you know me. I barely even noticed you were gone.

phasingly October 22 2010, 19:39:19 UTC

[That earns him a smile.]

Oh, thanks. Maybe I'll like, stay a little longer next time.

onebluebamf October 22 2010, 19:40:35 UTC

[He can totally play along with the charade of it all being fine.]

Oh yeah? I guess they must be really accommodating to their guests.

phasingly October 22 2010, 19:46:52 UTC

[Perfectly fine. What is angst?]

Yeah, you know. In-ground pool, sandy beaches, hunky guys serving me fruit smoothies. It was total paradise. I should have sent a post card.

onebluebamf October 22 2010, 19:50:47 UTC

[Whatever it is, it's not around here.]

Fruit smoothies? I think the postcard would have been a waste of time. The postal system here is pretty lame.

phasingly October 22 2010, 20:00:06 UTC

What? They're good! [But she's exhausted, really. And maybe just a touch traumatized if she admitted it. But X-men don't get traumatized, dammit! Unless you're Logan Still, her smile gets a little weaker, and she rests her head back against the cushions.] But I guess you're right.

onebluebamf October 22 2010, 20:20:58 UTC

[He suddenly gets up when she starts to lie down.]

Well, we don't have any smoothies here, but... are you hungry? Thirsty? I can go get something.

phasingly October 23 2010, 21:01:21 UTC

Some water would be great. [She's super thirsty, but it's all catching up with her harder by the second. She pillows her head in her arms on the arm of the couch and closes her eyes. No guarantees she'll be awake by the time Kurt can get it for her.]

onebluebamf October 23 2010, 21:19:08 UTC

Right! Your wish is my command.

[Give him a few moments, he's off to go grab it now.]

phasingly October 25 2010, 01:36:48 UTC

[In the few minutes it takes for him to get that, she's totally nodded off, curled up in a ball on the couch. You're a good friend, Kurt, and she appreciates the gesture, but the girl's freakin' tired. Still, you can wake her up if you want. She's not in that deep yet.]

onebluebamf October 25 2010, 01:38:56 UTC

[He COULD wake her up. But he won't. He sets the glass of water down, goes to her room, and brings back a blanket. After making sure she's still asleep, he'll go ahead and drape it over her.]

phasingly October 25 2010, 01:55:05 UTC

[She snuggles down under the blanket, pressing her eyes closed tightly before opening them again, heavy-lidded and obviously exhausted.] Thanks, Kurt.

[Okay, so maybe this's getting to her. Maybe she's a little traumatized, and being so tired makes it harder to hide it.]

onebluebamf October 25 2010, 04:07:05 UTC

[Oh, not as asleep as he thought. He doesn't go away, but sits back down.]

Don't mention it.

phasingly October 25 2010, 14:13:36 UTC

Um, not to be a total downer but... I kind of really want to go home.

[She closes her eyes again.]

onebluebamf October 25 2010, 15:24:24 UTC

[He nods quietly.]

I know. If there was a way.... [But there isn't.]
