She pushed it back out. She didn’t want Ash to comfort her. 

She let out a few more cries and whispered, "I just wanted him to love me..."

@InfiniteInsanity

Elan put a hand on Aventine’s shoulder, and gave it a squeeze. He didn’t say anything.

She moved like she was going to swat him off, but froze. 

The whistle of a familiar tune was heard from down the hall. Familiar lines of light waltzed into the room, each carrying a cleaning set, repair kit, and spare blankets and bedding. 
 

The source of the whistling entered the room a few seconds later. Dressed in a pair of dirty jeans and a sturdy overcoat, Pic assessed in the situation that was in front of him. His eyes narrowed and softened as he brought his tune to a close, lines of light carrying all his supplies to a corner of the room. 
 

“I see why I was called,” he hummed, crossing his arms and offering a sad smile to the group.

She froze in recognition of the voice and slowly looked up. She made a small gasp, then clumsily stood and moved over to him.

Ash stood up and moved to give them space giving Pic a sad smile in return.

Pic whistled a smooth tune, and his staff sped over to Aventine, supporting her when she was about to fall, nudging her when she couldn’t seem to move her feet.

”Even after these months, you still haven’t figured out how to walk a straight line,” Pic hummed, chuckling to himself.

Tears came to her eyes and she fell into him.

Ash smiled softly. “If you need me push the red button. Like always.” And she left to go find Insa.

He held her tight, his smile deepening. Aventine could feel his humming through his chest, his magic supporting her with every note, every key change.

She sobbed into him, his stability almost relaxing her.

He sighed deeply while humming, and tightened his hug. Glancing up, he acknowledged Elan by taking one hand off of Ave momentarily to wave at him with a small nod. 
 

“I’ve missed a lot, haven’t I.”

Ash found Insa sitting outside the room in the hallway. 

“What in the world were you thinking?” Her tone was harsh but her volume quiet trying to keep the conversation from reaching those in the room.

”Aventine was right.” Insa spoke quietly and with little emotion.

”About what.”

”She would have been safe here.”

”There’s no way we could have tied her down like that.”

“So scare him! Heavens above Insa! You didn’t have to kill him.”

”I wasn’t planning on it okay? I tried to scare him. He wouldn’t back down. If I didn’t do something he would have come back and then what? Who knows what he would have done?”

”Killing people isn’t you Insa!” They’re voices had gotten louder.

Insa’s face went slack. “You don’t know me as well as you think you do then.” And she stood up and walked off down the hallway.

”I’ll apologize,” she called over her shoulder, “to Aventine only. But I have something to take care of first.”

Ash sighed angrily and entered the room again. She went past everyone else and started moving stuff around in a cupboard.

Pics humming increased in volume as his grip tightened. His voice split into three distinct melodies, and wove a sweeping song of sadness. “Grieve well,” he hummed, giving her the tightest of hugs right before he let go. His staves swirled around her, lifting her up and placing her back on the bed. Weighted blankets and other comfortable items from his stash flew over to her bed as smiled sadly and followed Ave, sitting at the foot of her bed. 
 

A singular line flew into the cupboard in front of Ash, and twisted itself into an elegant cursive. What does she need from me?

She moved to where she was leaning against him.

Aventine? Most likely to feel loved and supported. The simple truth is her dad didn't truly love her. My guess is that's where most of the pain comes from, that she'll never get to feel that love. 

Insa

As Insa walked, a tingling pain began in her shoulder. 

Why are you going to apologize?

Because Saar. That's what you're supposed to do when you hurt someone. 

Insa entered her room and changed her clothes.

She transitioned from traveling to something outwardly less practical: a long, flowing brown skirt paired with a simple long-sleeved white blouse. She twisted her hair up into a low bun. She used a special mirror to do so. As she fussed with her hair, something else caught her eye. At the base of her neck on the left side was the beginning of a scar much like the one Lerac had removed from her. It looked like it could stretch down her arm. She froze as a thought occurred to her.

You shouldn't be able to talk to me.

Oh, Insa. Your boyfriend is gone. Nothing is stopping me from doing anything. 

A shudder ran through her. She didn't respond as she finished doing her hair and began to make her way back to the infirmary.

Elan stood quietly, watching the two of them. Something stirred inside him.

She needs him. Not me.

He felt strange. An idea forming in his head. He looked at Aventine, but he didn't see her like he thought he used to.

She was so small. So fragile. She was amazing, but what he felt wasn't romantic. It wasn't like that. It was like...

He had a sister, once. In a faraway life. She reminded him of her. He cared about her. He wouldn't let her get hurt. 

She's yours. Keep her safe.
