She sighed very quietly and rested her head back against the tree, closing her eyes.

Aw

Preemptive goodnight

He felt a sudden spike of anger. She was probably punishing him. He hated sitting around doing nothing, not even able to go anywhere because she’d made him name a stupid promise. She knew perfectly well he couldn’t do anything without her! She— she…

No, he knew it was his fault. He stood to pace. 

When would he learn to shut his stupid mouth?

"Okay." he said, slightly suspicious

"They- he-" she stammered, trying not to cry. "It's not just his body. His mind... they ripped apart his memories. They made them unrecoverable. In the process, they changed his personality by hitting the frontal lobe." she said, showing Ria the scan

GLASS PLEASE RESPOND TO ME FIRST

Ria bit her lip. “That’s… strange.”

"I think they were trying to reprogram him, in a sense. Which is insane, but I've seen it done. We need to be careful" she said, side eyeing Five and Starlight so they couldn't see her looking at them

She didn't move.

She felt kinda bad about talking to Bat like that . . . she should really apologize again. Maybe a few more times. Or a lot. Actually, she felt really bad . . .

She didn't move from where she was or open her eyes, though, exhausted.

She narrowed her eyes. “Gotcha.”

Eepy squeaked. 

“Lady Bug… just burst into ash…”

"What...?" He reheated his sword, "When? And where?"

He stooped to pick up Eepy. "Sorry about that."

“I’ll be right back,” Bat announced generally, and then walked up the temple stairs into a hallway next to the stair hallway. 

Then he banged his head on the wall. 

It was all he could think of to do, really.

“In the map room…….”

”Is okay,” she squeaked, wrapping herself around his shoulders.

She got up and followed him silently after a moment, worried.

When she saw what he was doing, she gasped and grabbing his shoulders, pulling him back from the wall.

I am no longer leaving for ten more minutes

my sister has commandeered the shower -__-

“Mental evaluations,” she replied, then turned back to the road without elaborating.

“Hardly. It doesn’t really hurt. It just jolts my brain around. It helps.”

"Show me. Lead the way."

“With- with thinking too much.” He looked away. “I’ll be back down in a bit, okay? You said you wanted to be alone.”

Just now, KnightSkye said:

"Show me. Lead the way."

“You won’t kill me?”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

. . . Well, I mean, yeah . . . but neither of us should be ALONE alone . . .

Do . . . do you want to talk about it?

He shook his head and banged it against the wall again.

“Oh, okay.” He brightened and stood up.

She pulled him back again.

BAT, STOP! PLEASE!

"Under- you realize with the mental damage done what he could be capable of? Or what she could be capable of? If he finds out, he might kill you!" she whispered frantically

BAT, STOP! PLEASE!

He pulled away. “You know, I find it pointedly misleading that you said you wanted to be alone and then stalked me up here.”

She hugged him.

I know . . . but you said you were going off alone and I wanted to make sure you didn't do anything . . .

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“It’s questions on a paper,” she said tersely. 

"I got that. But according to you he threatened you on necessary tests already." she said, concern growing with every moment

“I hoped you’d trust me to the extent you make me trust you,” he said stiffly. Then he pulled away, growled in frustration, and banged his head once, extra hard. “Sorry. I don’t know where it’s coming from.”

“Physical ones. Don’t worry; it’s under control.”
