I have no notifs and it makes me uncomfy, rp anyone?

Marin looked around, drawing Kit closer to their chest as the child cried out. He patted Kit's back, hurrying to what they saw as the closest inn, able to identify it after so many years going from inn to inn.

@Fraust

Kit started hyperventilating, hiccuping and choking on his breaths as he clung to Marin. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he was shaking violently, unable to speak at this point. Thank god they found the inn on their own… He jumped again when thunder rolled outside the inn, whimpering shakily.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

Marin opened the door to the inn, closing it quickly behind them.
"I've got you," they said softly to the boy in their arms. "I've got you, we're inside now." Willow looked around, slowly coming out of Marin's hood to move down to Kit, trying to silently comfort him.

@Fraust

Kit was shaking violently, his heart racing as he hiccuped and whimpered. He buried his face further into Marin's shoulder as he cried softly, curling his tail up between his legs. He was incoherent from fear, and couldn't apologize to Marin the way he wanted to.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

Marin tightened their arms around Kit, patting his back as they tried to think of a way to help the child calm down. Finally, they decided the best thing they could do was get a room, and comfort Kit there. So, Willow focusing on Kit and trying to help distract them, Marin moved to get them a room.

@Fraust

Kit looked up at Willow weakly while she tried to distract him, his eyes still shining with tears. He flinched when he heard the thunder again, burying his face back in Marin's shoulder. He tried to keep quiet so he wouldn't be bothersome, but he was obviously terrified.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

Willow ran her hand over Kit's cheek, keeping close to him. With the room secured, Marin carried Kit to it, sitting down on the bed with the child in their arms.
"I've got you…" the mage said gently. "I've got you, you're safe with me. The storm will be over soon."

@Fraust

Kit wrapped his legs around Marin's waist as he clung to them, still hyperventilating. A few more minutes into the storm, he seemed to be trying to sing something to himself, although it wasn't in a language that Marin knew. His voice was shaky, and the song was very choppy from his tears, but it was clearly a tune of some sort.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

Willow listened as Kit started to sing to himself, slowly picking up the tune before humming along to it, doing her best to comfort him. Marin stayed quiet, rubbing Kit's back and pulling their cloak around them both more.

@Fraust

The song seemed to soothe Kit somewhat, although he was still very jittery. He kept very close to Marin, only actually settling down when the storm and the rain went away. "Is it… is it over…?" He asked weakly.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

"It's over," Marin said softly. The mage patted Kit's back, looking down at him. They wrapped the cloak more around all three of them, arms tucked securely around Kit's waist.
"It's all over, you're okay." Willow looked up at Kit, her hands gently resting against his cheek.

@Fraust

Kit huddled a bit closer to Marin and sighed shakily in relief. Thank god… it's over… He hiccuped weakly and closed his eyes, just allowing Marin to hold onto him for the time being. "I'm… I-I'm sorry…" He whispered.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

"It's okay," Marin said when Kit apologized. "It's okay, Kit. You managed to get us to the inn even when you were so scared, and I'm so grateful for that." The mage hugged Kit, rubbing his back.
"I've got you…"

@Fraust

Kit sniffled a bit and rubbed at his eyes, still trembling in Marin's arms. "I h-hate storm season…" He whispered shakily. "W-We're right in the middle of it, too, so it's not gonna end for a while…"

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

Marin lifted their hand up, setting it on Kit's head.
"Well, Willow and I will be with you through it," the traveling mage said, running their fingers through Kit's hair. "And we'll do everything we can to help, okay?" Willow nodded, moving to gently cup her hands against Kit's cheeks.

@Fraust

Kit nodded weakly and rested his head on Marin's shoulder, closing his eyes as he tried to relax. "T-Thanks… hopefully storm season will end sooner than usual… but it isn't likely." He sighed, curling up into a little ball. "It's… it's probably a stupid fear anyway… b-but storms can hurt people…" He whispered.

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

"That's right, then can," Marin said, holding Kit close. "It's perfectly okay for you to be scared of them. But you're going to be safe, I'm going to make sure of it." Marin fell silent, rubbing Kit's back even as the child curled up.

@Fraust

Kit nodded again, holding tightly to Marin as he trembled. "When… when I was really little, I-I got stuck in a storm with my older brother…" He mumbled. "Koantri. We just called him Koa…" He rubbed at his eyes a bit. "He protected me through the night as well as he could, and… and in the morning, he was just… gone. I don't know where he went. We haven't been able to find him anywhere… and it's been years."

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

"O-Oh…" Marin held Kit closer, arms tucked around Kit and keeping him close. They looked down at the child. He was so open about things, something Marin could never be.

@Fraust

Kit buried his face in Marin's shoulder and hiccuped again. "I-I guess that's probably why I'm so scared of storms… I'm… I'm afraid they'll take somebody else away from me, or even take me…" He rubbed at his eyes a bit and sniffled. "There's dangerous creatures that could have taken him in the night, I dunno, I just… don't like storms…"

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers

"It's okay, it's okay to not like storms after that happened," Marin promised. "And I'm so sorry you had to go through this…" Marin closed their eyes, resting their head on Kit's.
