I’ve done worse!” She paused. “I mean… been through worse. You know.” She reached up and ran her fingers through her hair. Just now, xinoehp512 said: The man inspected her for a moment longer, frowning, then lit up with understanding. Ah. Roth must have given you a token. My apologies. He smiled. You said you were looking for someone? What is their name? “…Ciara, I think?”

His mind flashed to the note in his pocket. 3 minutes ago, The Halcyon Girl said: “…Ciara, I think?” Shoe nodded. Yeah, Ciara.

He pointed to her hand, You keep doing that thing with your hair when you're nervous, Beosta. I'm not exactly inclined to trust you when you keep doing it. He looked her dead in the eyes, Is there something you should talk about?
Through the Living Wrath he/him Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 Tull looked to the guide, frowning at her. “Can you take us?” Ista stared at her, dumbfounded at the strange speech, the absence of sound. “Wow. What’s that not noise you are making?” am I understanding correctly ennuller speech? (Also, the guide was ennuller, right?)

I’m not nervous.” Her hand closed into a fist and she turned away, tears welling up in her eyes. “I’m not nervous.” It's been interesting to see how my emotional state affects the tone of my writing. Shoe, frustrated and angry because she was clearly nervous, started to pull the note out of his pocket as proof. But then he looked up and saw her crying, and all the fight went out of him. He stared at her face for a moment before looking down at the crumpled note in his fist. What was he doing? This was everything he hated about how other people treated him; they never took time to consider how he was feeling, they never seemed to care how their questions affected him. He hated it when they asked why he couldn't talk, the way they spoke when they asked about his past. His family. People didn't tell you you raw, personal, emotional things when you angrily confronted them, they told you those things when they trusted you. He should know that better than anyone, especially considering how the events of the past few days had gone for him. Idiot. Hypocrite. Why was he even doing this? Skies, what is WRONG with me? The note fell from his hand and bounced along the ground. His eyes shifted to Beosta's with a pleading, apologetic look. I'm so sorry, he thought, though she couldn't hear him. I'll get to your response in a bit, Xino.

Ista pulled out a pad and a pen, and made notes on it, then looked up at the Ennuller. “Can you explain this process? Are you forming the Silence with anything like a windpipe, or are you using any magical influence to create it? And if so, is the influence on our minds, or is it actually affecting the world around us? And what from would this not-energy take? Usually the opposite of energy is just the same as the actual energy, only the negative vector.” Ista looked up expectantly, ready to write. Tull groaned as the guide answered. “Do you have any tips? Sequence here described you as a guide.”

Still, she felt panic rising in her throat, and she rubbed the ends of her hair again. It’s not like that. You’re not like that. See? She looked up to meet his eyes, feeling absolutely cornered. But she couldn’t… she couldn’t… Chasms, they really did look similar. Her stomach twisted with nausea, which she did her best to swallow down. Maybe Roth was right. Maybe some deep corner of her mind wanted to prove that she wasn’t……… mine influences my writing too and it’s crazy sometimes

I don't know what's wrong with me. I shouldn't have done that; shouldn't have said those things . . . Your past -whatever happened- is yours to know, not mine.

Spoiler hot bloody dang they sure are Beosta started crying. She didn't want to--- she hated crying. It made her eyes sting and get all red and puffy, and it made her look weak or guilty and she didn't want people to see her that way. She fought it as much as she could--- turned away, swallowed, rubbed her eyes so hard she felt sure her eyelids would come off--- but she couldn't stop bawling like a little kid. "No, it's my fault." She took a shuddering breath--- stupid tears; they made it hard to breathe and talk. "I've been... selfisher." And she really had, hadn't she? Had she only gotten close to him to make herself feel good? And if so, was it because of his eyes or his hair? Or... Oh, chasms, was it both? Her sobs redoubled.
