[sangreine]

Um...

[ Looking down at herself ]

I'm not sure. Maybe not.

[forgottenmercy]

[holds out a slender, small hand to her.]

Ah, here...

Maybe it, ah, might help to come in from the cold...?

[sangreine]

Oh... thank you.

[ She takes the offered hand and stands up, graceful but somewhat sluggish ]

[forgottenmercy]

Is there, ah, a garden or something like that in your dorm...? It might, ah, be nice to sit there where it's warm.

[sangreine]

Hm? The garden? The plants are all poisonous.

There's a room with the night sky in storm, it's my favorite.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, might be nice to sit in there, then...

[sangreine]

Oh. Okay.

[ Without much sense of urgency, she starts walking toward the hotel. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[and going to keep pace with her. to try to be a steady point that she can focus on.]

[sangreine]

[ The point of focus does help a little. Her pace is slow, occasionally stuttering like she's forgotten where she's supposed to be going. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[and going to guide her back to Zrael. up the stairs, very carefully. yes, all the way up the stairs.]

[sangreine]

[ Normally she could take 800 floors of stairs without even breathing hard, but today she's barely up one flight out of eight before she needs to stop. ]

We couldn't take the elevator?

[forgottenmercy]

[hesitates for a moment, because claustrophobia.] ...I'm, ah, sorry. I, ah, didn't think of that, since I normally do not.

[sangreine]

It's all right. [ The response is automatic and flat because everything about her is. ] I just need to rest a minute.

[forgottenmercy]

Of course. [will wait for her, then.]

[sangreine]

I think maybe I'll stay here for a while. [ Urgency, what's that? ]

[forgottenmercy]

[gives her a few minutes to rest.]

This, ah, really isn't a good place to rest for a long time...

Maybe we should, ah, keep going...

[sangreine]

Why not? [ She's not understanding why she needs to move, this is all exhausting. ]

[forgottenmercy]

...you should, ah, rest in your dorm. It's, ah, necessary so that you will get better.

...and, ah, not stop existing.

[sangreine]

I'm not sick.

[ But not existing is supposed to be bad, so okay. She stands and keeps walking. ]

I don't even think I can get sick.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, perhaps not...

...but hell can, ah, have its ways...
