  1. She shrugged. "Someone from the clinic was in trouble. I just made a choice that would give us a better chance of saving her."
  2. "I'm not extremely familiar with most of it myself. Just stories from Waylen, mostly."
  3. She crossed her legs at the knees and stared right back. "Something I have never quite been able to do."
  4. "Yeah. Misti- Mistborn." "Wow, look at you!" she said, mockingly sounding like a parent congratulating a two-year-old on their art skills. "You're learning!"
  5. "I doubt she does." She muttered, "Not around other people. Not yet." She sat on her bed. "I'm sure there is. I'm not familiar with any way apart from Snapping, though, and I'd rather not mentally scar you."
  6. "Who's to say 'once in a while' won't become 'frequently'?"
  7. "See, but we're trying to keep you away from that stuff, is the problem." She looked at the limp Jinx in Addison's arms. Her mind seemed elsewhere. "Sometimes things have a certain trigger. Even when someone you care about activates it... habit kicks in." She started rubbing her wrist.
  8. "And why would she hate you? Clearly she didn't react well to any of us... except maybe Tal. But it's hard not to like him."
  9. "Okay, fair. Still. Not the best person to trauma dump onto."
  10. "I don't think she hates any of us, really. Fear is a powerful thing." She said this knowingly, as well. "Just face it. Whenever I've dumped on you - and he does listen - you immediately start loading on the person you're talking with."
  11. "Pretty much anyone here is good to talk to about anything. Except Jar Man." @TheRavenHasLanded
  12. She turned back and smiled sadly. "It's not hard to recognize a kindred spirit, friend."
  13. "Don't sell yourself short. Trust me, it's so easy to see yourself as less than you are." So easy... "Cut it out. You're freaking me out, and I'm used to you."
  14. "Pic recently told me the same thing, right after he helped me through something really hard for me. He said that his helping wasn't always reliable and he wasn't even ever thanked for his effort. Even if it doesn't work, your heart was in the right place. That's what matters to me, if not anyone else."
  15. "Indirectly. When there's something like this, there's something rooted deeper down. Besides, you were only trying to help her, just like I was. It's not your fault."
  16. "It's what's best for her if we can't do anything else to help her."
  17. "Just follow us." (Assuming the staves are around her legs again,) Aventine stood and began walking.
  18. "The way she just reacted? We should probably try to restrain her as little as possible. We don't know when she's going to wake up, and based on how she was just acting, how much worse would it be if she's tied up when she does?"
  19. She nodded. "She's already unconscious, man. It's not going to help."
  20. She sighed and looked at Pic. "Looks like Ash has some more work cut out for her. Can you get the staves around my legs again?" She turned to Addison. "And can you help carry her to the med wing?" @Cash67 @Weaver of Lights
  21. "Jinx, you need to breathe. Calm down, listen to Pic's music. We're here to help you."
  22. "Okay, calm down. Calm down. Breathe a little slower - a lack of oxygen will only make this worse on you. I know."
  23. "Okay. I won't. Is there anything I can do to help you?" "Still no. People can get hooked on those, too."
  24. "Still not helping. That deals with physical pain. This is clearly something else. And we're not sedating someone just because she's scared."
