How wonderful it was, being attacked by my own roommate in the supposed safety of my apartment.

[sarcasm. so much sarcasm.

and there's a reason why she took the time to make this voice. it's because she doesn't exactly look ~presentable~]

I suppose I would have bled to death had it not been for...well-timed help. And this does explain the teeth...

[she's trailing off, but easily sets herself back on track and her voice is firm.]

I doubt I will be the last of these attacks. Keep an eye out, fellow transports, there is a beast with a penchant for lances lurking about. He may be young, but he is strong enough to render a door practically useless, and apparently unable to discern friend from foe.

[scowls.] He is not a beast. He is a child.

Attacked...?

[Lym actually... sounds really worried. ANORA YOU ARE LIKE ONE OF HER TWO OR THREE FRIENDS HERE PLEASE DON'T DIE]

Are you okay? What happened?

voice;

[selfloyalty]

As of now he is not in the right state of mind to be called a child.

Children throw tantrums, not lances.

[selfloyalty]

I am fine. I suppose I should be grateful we have healers among us.

[even if they are apostates.]

My roommate is not himself, so it would appear.

[deadelfwalking]

He is not acting under his own will.

[selfloyalty]

Then perhaps beast is an incorrect term.

Abomination seems more fitting.

[voice]

[stonefaith]

I'm sorry, Anora.

I am looking for him.

[voice]

[selfloyalty]

I hope you find him before he does any more damage.

Others may not be so lucky.

[sunlitcrown]

Oh... that's good, then. Get a lot of rest, okay? And - and if there's anything I can do, just ask!!

[DERE DERE.]

...Who was it?

[deadelfwalking]

[that he definitely doesn't like. But he's talking to a stranger, and a lady, and he's pretty frustrated by the whole thing as well, so he just exhales in irritation.]

I would hardly say so, my lady, but you have clearly been through an ordeal. I regret that I was unable to intervene.

[stonefaith]

I know. Too well. He's already attacked others. [ HIMSELF INCLUDED, NOW. there's a hint of frustration in his voice. ] But I will find him.

[selfloyalty]

[uguu little baby queen.]

Martin.

[there's an edge to her voice. and it's not only that of anger but also of...worry? LMAO IS SHE WORRIED ABOUT HIM no of course not.]

You...should be careful.

[selfloyalty]

And what will you do when you find him.

[it's not a question, it's phrased like a demand.]

[stonefaith]

Get him out of here. Away from this city.

[ oh, he sounds a whole lot surer about that than he feels. ]

[selfloyalty]

[ANORA CAN BE A BIT OF A DRAMA QUEEN OKAY. sorry you had to meet her like this.]

There was no way of knowing. He had not been in the flat for quite some time as far as I can recall.

My h- [cutting herself off because WOW SHE HAS TO WATCH WHAT SHE SAYS NOW] other roommate arrived just in time to take me to the clinic. Had he been there to intervene, perhaps this would have been sorted before the thing had escaped.

[...lmao who is she kidding Alistair wouldn't have killed Martin.]

[selfloyalty]

In his current state of mind and physical being, do you truly believe that is possible.

[stonefaith]

[ very long pause. and then, flatly: ]

What are you suggesting?

[selfloyalty]

That it would not be safe to simply 'get him out of here'.

He is a danger to both himself and others, no matter where he goes.

[stonefaith]

Then what are you suggesting?

[ anger? bariyan knows damn well what she's saying. ]

[ladyspitfire]

[Oh, wow. Who in the Void could have gotten into Anora's room to attack her?]

Are you injured?

[selfloyalty]

[SHE SOUNDS EXASPERATED.

WOW IT'S HARD BEING COLD, CALCULATING AND SENSIBLE ISN'T IT.]

That he must be dealt with as any abomination beyond help would.

Do you understand? Or must I spell it out?

[stonefaith]

[ sharp intake of breath. he almost says yes, but then reason catches up with him and smacks him a good one. ]

...No. I understand.

But I do not believe that he is beyond help. Yet.

voice;

[selfloyalty]

[NOPE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE YOUR QUEEN IN A STATE OF DISTRESS.]

I had been, yes.

Now I believe only a scar remains.

[it's tiny, Anora, you were taken to the clinic fast enough. calm down.]

[selfloyalty]

Well if he does get to that point, I certainly hope you have enough sense to know what to do.

[deadelfwalking]

[COME ON, DON'T CALL HIM A THING ... it's a moment before Koltira responds, because he's really trying to master himself, here. Stiffly.]

I see. That is unfortunate, but you do seem to have survived well enough.
