...maybe some will, but honestly, that might not be a bad thing... someone may end up unintentionally covering for a monster, so perhaps we should be more wary.
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.]

It was still you that said it, you know. They'll trust you.
[...more than they'll trust huaisang.]
no subject
Maybe. Or maybe they'll second guess me when I check people. [ a beat. ] It's fine, you're alive and you're not in a cage.
no subject
[a sigh, there, a little squeeze of his hand.]
But that will be my fault.
no subject
no subject
[he'll clarify that, at least.]
no subject
I'd do it again. So.
no subject
[especially to someone as useless as he is.]
no subject
Not really. I'm a piece of shit. But. [ sniff. ] We need to get that bullet out of your shoulder still, babe.
no subject
[he lets his hand drop so that she can move, frowning at how bad she looks.]
If I promise to do that, will you promise to have a bath and eat something?
no subject
Not hungry.
no subject
[please take care of yourself in the middle of this glass case of emotions.]
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.
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.]
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.]
