[The feed, for a long moment, seems to be nothing but the view of a cracked ceiling and the sound of soft snores - the sound of someone very deep in slumber.]

[It does not last long, however, before there is a loud bang, and the PCD is thrown from it's spot - looks like it was on a bedside table, and is now on a bed. Tyki comes into view, only

[She heard that from her room. Not checking the PCD, not doing anything but leaping off the bed and running down the hall, in her nightgown and bare feet, to fling Tyki's door open.]

[That scream. It sounded. She doesn't know how it sounded. But she stops in the doorway--not hesitating so much as taking in the situation warily. No enemies. Tyki's not visibly hurt. So. She creeps in, for once making hardly a sound as she moves, approaching the bed cautiously, like a cat stalking.]

Tyki?

[sleightofhearts]

[She will find one (1) Tyki leaning over the edge of his bed and dry-heaving, mostly the backlash from trying so hard to catch his breath. Please to not be too alarmed - there's blood, but most of it looks like it's from his nose.]

[He hears his name though, and he looks up - yes, those are tearstains, although Tyki doesn't seem to have noticed them. Perhaps it isn't really even Tyki at all that's crying - and he heaves one more time before coughing.]

...... what?

[She's climbing onto the bed immediately, crawling across the covers to lift the hem of her nightgown and wipe the blood away. No wound. But something's really wrong. The look in his eyes, the feel in the air. She has no idea what happened, but it scares her.]

[Her touch is light and gentle on his face, her fingers trying to chase his tears, wipe them away, her expression is worried but carefully so, trying not to show how much that scream scared her, because he's here and he's okay and somehow this reminds her of when he was sixteen. She needs to be the big sister now.]

Was it a dream?

Tyki?!

[Horst is just. Gonna come find him if there's no answer in an hour.]

[sleightofhearts]

[There will be no response for a while - however, whether it's long enough to warrant Horst coming to find him is up to Horst.]

... it's fine.

[ahandsomedevil]

[Horst turns up. Whether it's because Tyki was too late in replying or because Horst doesn't read texts is debatable.]

[Also, he's starting to think you two should spend a little less time together. Real men shouldn't know where one another's bedrooms are, but look at this. Horst knows where you sleep. And he is politely going to just knock on that door first.]

[sleightofhearts]

[That's entirely possible, yes. But, Tyki reckons, so long as Horst isn't sitting in his window and watching him sleep, it's acceptable. The door falls open at the knock though, mostly because it wasn't shut all of the way, and he'll find one (1) Tyki sprawled out over his bed, massaging his forehead.]

[Well, fuck.

Now Rei knows it isn't Rhode's doing.

Which, quite frankly, scares the piss out of her, because who is doing this.

And she will never, ever, ever say this again, Tyki, and she's grinding her teeth together to decide whether or not this is even worth it, but the information she might get would be worth the idle death threat.]

Are you okay?

[sleightofhearts]

[She won't get a response for a good while, mostly because he's too shaken up to really communicate properly. But when he does get back to her, he looks.... remarkably human.]

[The man doesn't have the energy to snark with you, Rei.]

Are you?

[marsfireignite]

[Oh dear. That's a terrible sign.]

No.

[There's not much point in lying.]

Tyki? [Allen is awake, wide awake and bolting to come find the older man. The dreams have him constantly worrying and this is no different.]

Walker.

[Depending on how long it takes Allen to get there will depend on whether or not he sends the response. Tyki isn't in any shape to really respond at all.]

[Should it be before that....... Please beware of the wild Rhode roaming about the Chateau; or the horribly-oppressive and stifling presence in the Chateau's attic. At any rate, Allen will find one (1) Tyki treating a bloody nose.]

[Allen gets there in very little time at all. Seeing Tyki in such a state prompted him to run for all he was worth. He's cautious when he comes to his destination but instead of invoking he uses very old skills from his days with Cross. The last thing he wants to do is provoke the Chateau household. It would bay for blood if he dared flash the light of Innocence into it.

It wouldn't help Tyki calm down. He can't remember the last time he slipped inside a house using just the cover of darkness. It doesn't matter, and he ascends with care until he locates Tyki. He stands in the doorway at first, unable to say anything. Finally he breaks the silence by stepping into view.]

Tyki, what happened?

[bunny_flower]

Tyki-san ?
