  1. "Every. Time. Every time I try to help with my power, I make things worse. Every. Time." The tears began to cascade down her face. @Cash67
  2. “I just made things worse. Like always.”
  3. She just shook her head slowly. When you get involved, things just get worse. Tears began to form in her eyes.
  4. Shock struck her eyes. Fail. If she hadn't already been on her knees, she would have fallen on them.
  5. "Tal, it's okay. We're here to help you." She started to Soothe his fear.
  6. Aventine got down on her knees and looked him in the eyes.
  7. Aventine found what she was looking for: two vials of metal. One of only brass, the other of mixed metals. She swallowed the isolated brass before returning to the others.
  8. Her eyebrows furrowed. "I'll be right back," she said, and left to the storage area.
  9. "Alright. I'll send another message back when we're done here." The last part was directed at the crow, who then hopped down and interacted with Trevor (who had been with Tal the entire time but I always forgot to say so). @Edema Rue @Weaver of Lights @RoyalBeeMage @Cash67
  10. The crow landed on her shoulder, and she read the missive before showing it to Jar Man. ”You think this will work?” she asked, pocketing the vial. @TheRavenHasLanded
  11. She hung around the back with her arms crossed in front of her.
  12. She slowly started to follow, not meeting Pic's eyes. @Cash67
  13. She nodded, still looking distracted. @Cash67
  14. "Yeah... I'll go." And make things worse once again. Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP!
  15. "People in the performance can hear it better than everyone else. They can learn their part better by learning cues in the others' parts. But they still need to see their music to avoid cacophony. If my 'performance' was beautiful, I would think that I'd know."
  16. "And in Luthadel." Her voice progressively became more unsteady. "I was trying to help Rue but ended up nearly being killed myself. Plus, Jar Man and you got hurt badly, too, and we haven't even seen Mel, Rue, or TAAron since we got back..." She pressed her face into his chest and wrapped her hands over his shoulders. "I always have to rely on others to get me out of bad situations. Has anything I've done intending to help ever had a good result?"
  17. "It means that whenever I try to calm someone down, all I do is rile them up even more. Jar Man almost died when I tried to Soothe his withdrawal. Jinx had a panic attack and nothing I did helped. And now this." Her eyes began to tear up.
  18. “That’s how it’s always been. I mean, I was supposed to be a Soother and I was a Rioter. I’d say it’s poetic, but poetry has a beauty to its cruelty.”
  19. You’ve always failed when it comes to deescalating situations. Failed at what you were born to do. ”I failed to help. To calm him down. Just like always.” She stared into space, focused on nothing in particular.
  20. He’s right, you know. Her father’s voice. That’s not him. Isn’t it? No. ”Tal. Maybe you should take some time to cool down.”
  21. “I wish I could help more. Really. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.”
  22. “O-oh. Well… it was worth a shot, right?”
