he'll head over to the cobalt room, though, settling in on the bed and reaching over to grab something with his good arm. it's a little bag of cookies, barely touched; nie huaisang passes one over.]
[even if she does-- he won't mind it. nie huaisang doesn't say anything else, just stays here, doing his best to feel a little less... you know. everything.]
no subject
also have some self hatred, guilt, and panic too, those are good. they're kind of - distant? like she's not quite the one feeling it. ]
no subject
[he's not the best at this, but he's trying to gently tug her up to get her to stand... and doing his best to ignore those feelings, damn.]
And who's doing that, they aren't helping at all-!
no subject
Hunter is. [ she says, quietly. ]
no subject
Miss Beau, you two are still...?
no subject
Mmhm. [ which is part of why she's flipping out so bad. ] It's - it's overwhelming.
no subject
[just. putting that out there. maybe anyone connected to him can try to like, good-vibes hunter into chilling out for a little bit.]
no subject
[ sniff. ] I felt you trying earlier. I appreciate it.
no subject
[anyway, he's just kind of guiding her along if she'll let him. let's switch rooms.
the obvious answer is knocking hunter the fuck out somehow but he really doesn't wanna say it to beau.]
no subject
He'll... he'll fall asleep eventually. [ or she'll knock him out herself. ]
no subject
[or, yeah, someone should do that.

Please try to rest when he does, miss Beau.
no subject
I'll try. But I want to keep him company. He doesn't deserve to be alone.
no subject
[just nudging the cookie into her hand. BEAU.]
no subject
You don't know that. Maybe if he has human company the antidote will take easier.
no subject
...maybe.
[after a brief pause:]
Will it help if you have company?
[after everything she did for him, he figures the least he can do is that.]
no subject
[ she's just crumbling this cookie in her hand. ]
I wouldn't say no. But I'm a big girl. I can handle it if you don't want to.
no subject
[maybe he can tolerate it. it'll be fine. potentially.
just casually reaching over to take whatever's left of the cookie, though, don't get crumbs on the blankets.]
-well, if it turns out it's not all right, I'll go.
no subject
He won't hurt you. He's in a cage. [ a low pulse of pain, at that. ] Do what you can do.
no subject
...I know. I'll... try.
