I have heard you all say similar things... how it's your fault you're all hurt. I would never want you to abandon them, bu why should they have let you go?

she watches him for a moment before she sets a chair at the end of bed in the angle of wherever the other three are. ]
Hmm.... maybe it's a good thing you're not super chatty. Did they give you painkillers yet?
no subject
He nods stiffly. Hard when he's got a bunch of bandages there. ]
Are the other three looking alright?
[ His voice is of course, shot to shit, and he'll probably not have it tomorrow with how much he's forced himself to talk in general today but hey. ]
no subject
[ she doesn't like to lie. ]
I want to talk to you, but I don't want to make you talk too much.
[ the dilemma. ]
no subject
[ Well he looks at her... certainly nothing stopping her from talking to him at the least. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
Do you think you'll all be okay eventually?
[ from the trauma. ]

I was supposed to keep them out of harm.
no subject
[ she doesn't seem so sure about that. she is noticing that melancholic air about him, but she's still trying to figure things out.
I know you did as best as you could. Everyone came back alive, and I'm thankful for that.
no subject
[ Well. He actually does mean that believe it or not. Even if he feels like shit he doesn't really know what to do other than perservere. ]
no subject
perseverance doesn't always mean you're fine or that you're okay, just that you're here. ]
I think I want to wait and see with you. Is that okay? I'm just a little worried.
no subject
I will be here as long as they want to be.
[ Looking at the other three present until we all fuck off for curfew or don't I guess. Elysia is welcome to stay until then. ]
no subject
[ she's wondering if it's a trauma bond or a trauma effect. ]
no subject
I trust in them to be alright, but I don't want to abandon them now.

no subject
I did not die when I should have. It released a demon, that made them hurt each other.
[ And him, but he is not being purposefully exclusionary or anything it's just that words are hard. ]
no subject
Should you have died? That doesn't sound right.
no subject
Was supposed to. I lived, because of a king named Glendower.
But it was for nothing. He wasn't in his tomb.
And I broke his sword.
[ DEPRESSION INTENSIFIES ]
no subject
It sounds like you forced into some kind of ritual. What does this king do, or what was he supposed to do?
no subject
Made me live, when I was supposed to die. Spent my whole life looking for his tomb. Wanted answers.
no subject
It sounds like you were meant to fail.
[ if he wasn't in his tomb. ]
You were led to a false objective, and all of you suffered for something that was never meant to be fair.
