Dream the Fourth : GHB8 [Orb]

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[The image from the orb is rather white and blurry, with only the vague outlines of shapes visible. Someone's thrown a sheet over it, it would seem.]]

I can't find Aralu or Hawk anywhere. Hawk's mom's gone too.

[[a slight pause. He really really doesn't like having to do this...]]

...and I can't work the stove in this stupid place.

[[Or do much of anything else with his back like it is.]]

No Hawk? [The world may be ending.]

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[Oh hell.

There is a long, very awkward pause before the sheet comes off the orb. Faolan at least deserves a face to face talk for this]]

I haven't seen him...

[[Not.. that he has any idea what to say here. Damnit]]

Action

[It is not long before a whispery Faolan comes home. After looking in all the usual places and not finding Hawk or Snow, he comes to Shin, lip wobbling and very distressed.]

[[Shin's still in bed, but reaches out just the same to gently muss the boy's hair]]

[Faolan climbs into the bed, hiding under the covers and whimpering sadly.]

[[Shin puts his arm around him, gently rubbing circles on his back]] I'm sorry...

[Whine whine whine] Shin stay?

[yumemi_no_ou]

Of course. [[musses his hair again]] I'm not going to leave.

[This gets a tentative smile.] Shin is new pack?
