tune

Macha blinked rapidly. "Thanks.", she said softly.

(wanna skip now?)

(Yeah)

(Sorry! I fell so bad now ahhh)

Fae paused for a moment, gripping the door tightly before taking a strained breath and entering, sliding into the seat and forcing herself to take the seatbelt in her hands, which she held in clenched fists, trying to force herself to put it on.

Macha blinked rapidly. "Thanks.", she said softly.

(wanna skip now?)

(Yeah)

(Kk)

Macha and Sabine rounded a corner, only a block away from Macha's house.

Sabine gave her friend's hand an encouraging squeeze. "I'm here Macha, for whatever you need."

He clicked his own seatbelt on, "Are you okay?" He asked, noticing her tension.

(It's not her fault tho!)

Fae swallowed, avoiding eye contact. "Yeah." She let go of the seatbelt, waiting a moment before reaching for it again. She grasped it firmly, pulling it towards the clicky-thingy (sorry idk what it's called), but stopped right before reaching it, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. Her whole body tensed up as she just sat there, frozen by fear. "Sorry. This might take me a bit."

Sabine gave her friend's hand an encouraging squeeze. "I'm here Macha, for whatever you need."

Macha gave her friend a small smile. "Thanks, Sabine." They reached the house, a small, one-floor structure with peeling paint and one cracked window. Macha took out her key.

"Hey, hey. I'm right here," he spoke comfortingly.

Fae swallowed, tears springing to her eyes but not quite spilling over yet. "Sorry.", she repeated, knuckles white against the seatbelt strap. "I haven't been in a car for a while." Her voice was hoarse.

Sabine smiled. It's okay to be scared. She thought toward Macha in her head. She didn't have telepathic powers like her cousin, but she thought it anyway, being to scared to say it.

"We can always walk," he offered, taking her hand.

Macha turned the key in the rusting lock, having to twist it roughly after it got stuck the first few times. She tightened her grip on the doorknob to keep her hands from trembling and slowly opened the creaking door, calling out. "Papa?"

"We can always walk," he offered, taking her hand.

Fae shook her head. "It's okay. It's stupid anyway, I have to get over it." She blinked, shoving the seatbelt in and gulping, struggling to keep her head over the quickly rising fear that threatened to drown her.

"…" he kept his eyes on her a few moments, "Of all people I hope you know that convincing me of that ridiculous statement isn't that easy," he lightly squeezed her hand after she buckled the seatbelt.

Fae chuckled, but it was strained. "Yeah. Worth a try, though. Not really." She squeezed his hand back. "Sorry."

He nodded curtly in response, and started the car.

Sabine waited quietly by the door, not knowing what to do.

The low rumble of the engine starting jolted Fae's panic out of hibernation, but she focused on ignoring it, turning her head to look at Cruz. "Do you like to read?", she asked in an awkward attempt to start a conversation and ignore the rapidly rising levels of her fear.

Sabine waited quietly by the door, not knowing what to do.

A balding man with blond hair greeted them warmly, waving for Sabine to come in. "I'm Hans.", he introduced with a friendly smile. "You must me that lovely lady Macha's been going in about."

*must be

Sabine smiled. "My name's Sabine. Nice to meet you Mr. Hans."

Macha's Papa laughed. "No need to call me Mr., Sabine. Lovely to meet you!" Macha closed the door behind them, hugging her Papa tightly.

"Okay." Sabine said with a smile. She put down her backpack by the door.

He played along, and kept a very calm demeanor in feeble hopes it would help her panic lower. "Yeah. I like Lord of the Rings." He spoke. "I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter when I was younger,"
