81st Draw = Devastated [Written]

[selphie_t]

[Something is wrong. The night before, Selphie had gone to sleep curled in close to Ceodore and in the morning, the bed was cold. His things were gone. Selphie fell apart and has not left the apartment since.

She's alone again. She hates being alone. He said he'd never leave her and she'd believed him and then he broke his promise.]

Ceodore Harvey is no longer in Luceti.

[She sits there in a thoughtful silence for quite some time before speaking.]

What happens now?

.....I don't know. [The tone is sad, questioning. Frey has never handled the lose of people well- Usually he chose to take some time away from the village, but he wouldn't do that now. Couldn't, really.]

I don't imagine you'd want to stay here......?

[At least that is Frey's thinking- he hadn't wanted to do the same after his mother had left.]

[Does she want to leave? Selphie looks up at Frey, eyes questioning as her head tilts to one side.]

Part of me says to leave and another part of me says to stay.

[falenandawn]

Whatever you want. I'm not going to leave you alone, though, if that's alright with you. [If she wanted time alone she'd get it, but otherwise.....]

[selphie_t]

I don't mind.

[The question is... does Kaori mind?]

[action]

[falenandawn]

I'll stay with you as long as you need me. [Kaori would understand.]

[Selphie pushes out of the hug after a little bit longer before nodding.]

Thank you.

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

There's no need to thank me. You, both of you, are my friends. ['Are'. Because even if Ceodore was gone... it wouldn't change how Frey felt for him. And right now, he would admit he wanted to be there for Selphie just as much as he wanted to be here with her.]

[selphie_t]

Just...

[Selphie sighs deeply. Where does she go? What does she do?]

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

[He just pulls her into another hug, wondering something along similar lines.]

[action]

[selphie_t]

[Pardon Selphie as she sags against Frey and goes silent again.]

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

[He'll hold her as long as needed.]

[action]

[selphie_t]

[Even if she falls into a half-doze?]

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

[Even then. Because really, maybe sleep might help ease her sadness, if only for a bit. He'll probably fall asleep too, eventually.]
