Gabriel bites the inside of his lip, still a bit conflicted inside.
It doesn't matter who she is. She's small. She' needs help. Why not me?
He wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his cold embrace (he's always cold).
Because you're a monster.
(HA he finally hugged her back)
She curled up into him, tucking her wings as small and tiny behind her as she could. "Why are you so sad?" she choked out between her sobs.
She cried on his shoulder until his shirt was wet before the pain and emotion in her chest eased. Slowly her sobs subsided until she sat up and wiped her face, surveying his soggy shirt apologetically. "I'm sorry," she sniffed.
A faint smile crosses his lips, only for a moment though.
"Heh, it's been wetter before, I'm sure."
Gabriel.
Gabriel no.
Stop.
He catches some of her soft hair in his fingers and runs them through it.
OH
MY
WORD
(He's such a little derp XD)
She took another deep breath, her chest still quivering but getting steadier. His touch was so calming, grounding. "Well. I didn't turn invisible." She gave him a lopsided smile.
(He likes blonde hair)(they can be friends)
Indeed you did not
He looks up at the sky, slowly standing now that she's not leaning on him.
Kissa doesn't react like that when I calm her. What is Silver seeing in me?
He glances down to Sil before quickly looking back to the sky.
I want to know.
(drama, you guys)(dramatic toddlers XD)
Violet creases her eyebrows together and watches as everyone leave to their own corner.
It can work. We're old enough to do this, c'mon.
(7:30pm)
Violet leans on the window, staring out at the dark street. Their plan was dead, they needed a new one. Silver as bait wouldn't work, because Silver was so argumentative and complicated. Ben shouldn't chose a plan or Hush cause if either of them did, the other would be opposed. Cage couldn't. Leo shouldn't. They only just had Shadow join. Dash might.
Hmmn, maybe Dash and i can come up with something. That sounds promising. she turns and looks over the dimly lit living room.
Silver wiped her face again and heaved a sigh before standing up as well. "I should…" She wanted to go home and sleep now but she couldn't just leave Gabriel. But nor did she know if taking him back to everyone was a good idea. "Where… do you have a…"
She couldn't just send him back to wherever he had come from. Who knew what he had to live with.
He had to stay with her. Even if that meant risking Ben murdering her.
She took a deep breath and looked up at him. "Do you want to come back with me?"
Yes. That'll lead me right to them.
He looks back down to her, just noticing the height difference between them.
Say yes.
"I…"
Yes.
"I don't know…"
What?? You don't know?
She peered up at him, her head craned far back. "Do you have anywhere else to go?" she asked. "That's safe?" she added quietly. She put her hand on his arm. "You'll be safe with us. I'll take care of you."
Go, Gabe.
He creases his eyebrows together and looks to the ground.
But then she won't be safe.
Your mission.
"I- where do you stay?"
speak up. She won't hear you.
Silver didn't answer right away, feeling the currants of emotion and debate inside him. No, he most certainly wasn't the best person to bring back to Ben's house. Who knew where he came from or who controlled him. But she wasn't going to leave him out here. She heaved a sigh and glanced out over the lake.
She'd just assume all responsibility of whatever happened. But he was coming with her no matter what. At least she knew something was up with him.
"We're currently staying at a friend's house. A bunch of us are keeping together and trying to figure out what to do."
Look, she'll lead you right to them!
It could be a trap.
But I'm trained and they're not.
"… That doesn't sound safe."
Silver shrugged. "Probably not. But it's the best we have right now. I meant you'd be safe with us. We're safe people. None of my friends will hurt you. We'll probably be running away to hide somewhere else in another day or so, but you'd be safe among us." Or he better be, or else Silver would beat Ben into a pulp.
'Safe people'. Ha! Sure. You're not very safe if you'll just let a random guy in.
He looks back to Sil, studying her face.
I'll come.
(I MANNA PLAY)
She smiled weakly. "It's not much, I know. But… well, you still might like it better than… going back. To wherever. Will you come?" She stepped away from him and prepared to launch into flight.
(I MANNA PLAY)
(okay but only one character)(we're already busting XD)
(we are very busting)
(I know babynanman so they're okay, right?)(@Bandito?)
She smiled weakly. "It's not much, I know. But… well, you still might like it better than… going back. To wherever. Will you come?" She stepped away from him and prepared to launch into flight.
I think I'd rather go back than talk.
He launches up before her, the black skin of his wings catching the wind around them.
(okay i'll just keep stalking)
(yeah, she's fine with me)
Silver rose in the air, using her wings, but also pushing herself up with her control over the air. Her accent was much smoother and more graceful than her previous attempt, and she didn't even need to jump first. Her wing strokes were more solid and even, as she subconsciousness kept herself in the air and helped herself fly by manipulating the air around her to help. She smiled at Gabe and nodded her head toward the city. "This way."
I can't believe I'm doing this
He follows, watching her wingstrokes and noting the things she did wrong.
