The Aspiring Archivist

"Away!" Terrance shuddered, trying to control his raging thoughts and emotions. He couldn't trust himself, and he definitely couldn't trust Jace. So he ran.

"There is no possible reason... Whatever. It doesn't matter. I need to go." Terrance again began to run. He needed to hide, to get away from whatever insanity this quest had become.

Terrance froze. "No."

"Why not?"

Hmm... I was going to answer this but then I remembered that I don't really strongly relate to any gender?

"Leave me alone!" Terrance sounded afraid.

As soon as Terrance recovered, he quickly began to try and get away again.

Jace could see that he was bleeding from several small scratches and scuffs on his hands and knees. He also had a small trickle of blood running down the side of his head from where it had struck the ground.

Terrance groaned, dazed.

"I... I can't..." Terrance, trying to go faster than he really could, tripped and crashed to the ground, his head hitting the concrete with a sickening crack.

"Please, stop!"

Eventually, he managed to catch up. Terrance looked back, catching Jace's eyes and sending a wave of terror through him.

He saw Terrance running, his ability to hide from people's attention breaking.

Jace caught movement out of the corner of his eye.

There was no sign of him. @RoyalBeeMage

"My name is Polton."

He did, letting Jace out of the vision. Then he ran, quite literally disappearing into the groups of pedestrians milling outside.

In reality, Jace didn't do or say anything, but Terrance could see and feel his terror. Terrance was terrified too. He didn't quite understand what Jace meant or felt, but something inside him pushed him to try and kill whatever it was.

Terrance looked Roy in the eye intentionally, holding his gaze.
