"Um..."
Susie wasn't sure where to even
begin to explain what had just happened. It had been less than five minutes, but it had felt like an entire
year had passed. She reached up to touch her cheek, feeling the flowers that had sprouted. "I... I lost my temper..." she said quietly. "And.... and I lost..." She shook her head, a few loose petals falling from her face. "I-It was her. She was the one who did it... And Aahva-"
Whether or not Susie realized she wasn't making much sense became irrelevant as a quiet groan could be heard coming from the unconscious tiefling. The redhead's eye's widened. "Shit. My room, now!"
Susie would grab Kana's hand, dragging the two boy's behind her as she turned the corner and ran down the hall...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aahva rushed down the hallway, bronze pipe still clutched tightly in his hand. Had it been the right thing to do? It seemed right at the time, but now he was unsure. Yes, he'd saved Susie- oh, how he was going to hold
that over her head- but at at the same time the boy felt an impending sense of dread.
"There's no way that demonic cunt-sludge will let this go..." he thought, mind racing.
"She's gonna try to get back at me, or Susie, or...The boy threw the door to Beatrix's room open. "Trixie!" he said loudly, slamming the door behind him. "We've got- ack!"
Aahva flinched as the blue-haired girl pulled him into a tight embrace. "It's you! It's you, it's you, it's you!" she squealed, sounding very relieved. "I forgot... you never knock."
"Trixie... Trixie I can't breath..." the boy gasped, squirming in the girl's arms.
"You're hugging too tight..."Beatrix quickly let go, cheeks flushing. She'd been a pretty touchy-feely person ever since they became friends- something Aahva still hadn't
quite gotten used to. Not only was the girl uncomfortably taller than he was (his forehead only came up to her nose), but she had a habit of hugging with both her real body
and her shadow at the same time. There was also the fact that she somehow managed to feel below room temperature whenever they touched, and never seemed to warm up even after prolonged contact with her...
Beatrix held her arm awkwardly. "Myahaha, sorry..." she said. "It's just... our
mutual friend finally made her move."
Aahva nodded, grimacing. "Yeah she fucking did. Were you watching?"
The pug-faced girl's eyes rippled. "No! What happened? Does, erm..." She glanced at the bloody pipe in Aahva's hands, having seemingly just noticed it's presence. "Oh Faryion, what happened?! Are you okay?!"
The Thanati boy shifted on his feet, exhaling. "...Yeah. Let's... let's sit down..."
