Enyln shrugged, "sure." Her voice was slightly high-pitched and her face was a light shade of pink. why am I so embarrassed? she shook her head at herself.

Rigel’s head slowly came to rest on Vash’s shoulder. He felt so hot, but… Rigel couldn’t do anything about it. He just hoped he could make it to Oaradis whpithout experiencing any of the other side effects, like hallucinations. He quietly asked Vash, “How long does it take for the other symptoms to start up?”

Enyln's stiffened at his question, "a- a few weeks." She said her voice shaking. Maybe it was the reality of it sinking in. Or perhaps the fact that his question caught her off guard, Long before she could close that door on her emotions.

“Then we have to find Paradis by then,” Rigel said quietly, his arms subconsciously tightening around Enyln’s waist. I just have to make sure she’s safe, away from Vincent, away from the monstrous world.

"Right." Enyln let out a shallow breath. get to safety. Get him to safety. Enyln forced a smile, "you're gonna be okay." She said under her breath. "We'll get there. I promise."

“I trust you,” Rigel whispered quietly to Enyln, the kicked Meria’s side with his own foot, “Now we got time to make up.” Meria started off in a light run, slowing increasing in speed. Rigel made sure he wouldn’t fall off as they ran into the distance.
(Time skip to later?)

Rigel slowly woke from sleep with a furious fit of coughing. He was a lot paler and significantly more skinny. Rigel blinked furiously, trying to clear his vision. There was dark blood sitting on his hand, and it took him a second to realize he had yet another bloody nose. He started coughing again, a dizzy feeling overtaking him. “Enyln? Enyln?” Rigel called in a panic, staring at the ground. It looked like water, as if it was rippling and moving beneath him.

Enyln jerked her head up from her half sleep. Something she'd developed to be able to keep watch and still get some rest. "Rigel, what's wrong?" Worry became a part of her. Something that'd always show in her eyes even when she hid it from her face.

“The ground is moving, Enyln, I’m scared,” Rigel voice was laced with panic as he tried to find something to hold onto, something to ground himself. It’s not real, it’s not real, it’s not real- Rigel let out a tiny, fearful noise, hands shaking as he reached out.

"Rigel its fine. Everything's fine. Calm down." Enyln's hands shot out to grab his. "See?" She asked trying to give him a reassuring smile.

Rigel stared into her eyes, his frantic breath slowly returning to normal as the world slowly stopped moving. It’s fine. “Enyln,” He croaked out, and without thinking he pulled her close into a hug, arms tense, “Enyln, you’re real.” Just needing to hold her, to make sure she was real, something was real.

"Yes, I'm real." Enyln let her arms fall around Rigel returning the hug. She squeezed her eyes shut to keep in the tears. It was happening. She was losing him. Watching him die. "I love you." She whispered.

“I love you too,” Rigel immediately replied, trying to calm his nerves. Real. Real. Real. His pulse slowly dropped back to normal, and he could finally see straight, but he didn’t leave the hug just yet. Rigel felt selfish about it, but… He took a shuddering breath, then forced himself to pull away. He looked around to double check the tree were still there, Meria was still sitting near a tree, a rope they found earlier tying the horse so she didn’t leave in the night. But it was all there. All real. Rigel let his shoulder relaxed, tilting his head up to the sky, “We have to get to Paradis soon.” Before I stop functioning entirely and Enyln won’t be able to make it to safety.

"Yeah." Enyln mumbled. It pained her to see him like this. To see him slowly dying. To see his with tunnel vision. She stood turnning so he couldn't she her face and swiped the backs of her hands at her eyes. its fine. Everything's gonna be fine. she tried to reassure herself but some how only made it worse. "Shall we get going then?"

“Yeah. Yeah, we should go,” Rigel said quietly. Get Enyln somewhere safe, then I can give up. He slowly stood, wobbling a little on his feet. He blinked, as if double checking he wasn’t still hallucinating. Because that’s how far it’s gotten, I’m hallucinating now.

(I'd like to see your plans so I think she'll get to live a little longer. Lol)
Enyln pulled herself atop the horse and let her arm down to help Rigel up, "how'd you sleep last night?" She asked trying to shake her thoughts free from her head.

Rigel got onto the horse after some struggle, “Not very well…” He mumbled, closing his eyes for a second as nausea passed over him. Rigel swiped at his bloody nose, which probably made him look even more of a mess. Rigel was very much aware of how skinny he’d became, and how hollow he looked. “How did you sleep?”

"Good enough." She hadn't. Enyln had just barely fallen asleep. She had been sure everything was fine- that Rigel would of been fine. "how far away are we?" She shifted slightly and let her heal jab into Meria's side slightly to get them moving.

“Maybe a few days?” I don’t remember… Rigel paled, his grip tightening around Enyln waist. He wished he had his notebook with the maps, then he would be sure Enyln could find her way to Paradis without him. Meria made her was past the tree line to open fields, stretching as far as the eye could see. Rigel thought he saw something on the horizon, but he couldn’t be sure.

It was open. To open. Enyln stiffened slightly, uneasy. She narrowed her eyes as they darted around. Looking, watching. "We might speed through this." She mumbled to Rigel.
