[ Curled up with her back resting against the wall of one of the buildings near the hotel (which one? she wasn't paying attention, so she's blearily trying to ascertain that herself) is one (1) petite vampire lady, presented in greyscale because she hasn't been sleeping at her dorm. Oops? ]

[ Yeah, it was a dumb move. She's regretting it now -- she thinks? It's hard to tell, without emotions it's like she's trying to think through syrup. She might (definitely will) still argue about it though, out of sheer habit, but at least it probably won't be more than halfhearted. Also, she's pretty cold and tired, and just staying here sounds like something she can't be bothered to talk herself out of at present. ]

[ Grey and alone? Honestly now . . .

"Dumb move" is not quite strong enough ]

[outofoffice]

[ Crouching down right in front of her, tugging at her bangs ]

Ali-Rin~

This is no place to rest.

[sangreine]

...Really?

[ She looks one way, and then the other way. ]

What's wrong with it?

[outofoffice]

It's not nearly as cozy as a bed, for starters~

Care to accompany me?

[ Day three of Yuletide Status Ailments has Lupine in a less-than-optimal mood, but he was stubbornly going to go get groceries anyway. The Damned Queen's bullshit can make him cold in a way that all the LiliS layers in the world don't help, but it can't make him stop going about his normal daily routine, okay, and—

—and that sure is Zari, crumpled and gray, in the corner of his vision. Lupine stills, then turns on his heel to make a beeline for her. ]

What...

[ Sh, shit. This again?! ] [ Kneeling down in front of her, and he stupidly catches himself hesitating to touch her specifically because it'll make him feel better before he takes one of her hands. ]

What happened?

[sangreine]

[ She looks at her hand as someone takes it, then her gaze slowly (too slowly) follows his arm up to his face. ]

Happened?

[ She looks fairly out of it. ]

[at_heart]

[ Hates pretty much every part of that, that's for sure! ]

You're all gray again. [ Soft. ] We should get you back to your dorm.

[sangreine]

Oh. [ That's right, she noticed it before. She thinks? Her expression flickers as she tries to bring forth some feeling, but nothing comes. ]

I'm pretty tired. [ So maybe she can just stay here a while? Is that bad? ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Wow, you look like shit.

[sangreine]

[ How astute 0/10 for originality -- oh wait she can't do sarcasm at the moment ]

Okay. So what?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, you're real fucked up.

[they haven't interacted that much but even so, this seems very...not like Alizarin.]

What happened, your dorm piss you off or what?

[sangreine]

Yeah, I know.

Why would you ask that? [ She doesn't know why this happened. No one explained it to her using words she actually recognized. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Well that's bad.

He spends a moment looking her over from a distance before finally walking over, crouching down to her level.]

Hey, did you get lost here?

[sangreine]

Lost?

[ Slowly, she looks to and fro, clearly dazed. ]

No, I don't think so.

[bondsofsuffering]

Do you remember what you were doing?

[sangreine]

[ She thinks. It takes a very long moment. ]

Coming back from training. Then I got tired.

[forgottenmercy]

[was passing by, kneels down to check on her.]

[sangreine]

[ Her gazing at nothing in particular is interrupted by a person, so her eyes slowly, slowly focus on them. ]

Oh. Hi.

[forgottenmercy]

Are you, ah, alright...?

[sangreine]

Um...

[ Looking down at herself ]

I'm not sure. Maybe not.

[gravitydefier]

[...oh, he recognizes that gray state.]

...tch. Don't sleep there.

[sangreine]

Hm? [ Looking up, extremely dazed ] I wasn't.

[gravitydefier]

What are you doing?
