Night just shakes her head at Ricky and checks the time before
sighing."And off I go to help a nightmare ridden child.Ricky if you
want you can come to."She muses before walking back to her room.
"Ah. It looks very similar to my brother. He never said he had a
twin, so it's probably him. So that's how we looked familiar to
each other." Laura said, laughing under her breath again. Gods,
why am I so giggly? I've never been like this before.
Carnelian hovered infront of Cali's face. "Let's see how far you
can fly... Maybe fly over to the windowsill with those two girls,
touch one, and fly back?" The hummingbird nodded, flew over,
debated over which to touch before touching Glitch, since
hummingbirds don't understand people even though Cali can
communicate with Carnelian due to their bond, and flying back.
"Alright.Just so you know she still calls you papa."Night tells him
with a small smirk before going into her room.She sighs as she sees
Nyx sitting up in bed with fear etched onto her face.She walks over
and gently takes Nyx's hands into her own."Shh child it's
alright.Your safe here I promise."She whispers while placing a
gentle kiss onto her temple.
"I guess so. Hm. Talk about pure chance." Glitch says. She briefly
wonders why she's acting so... nice. Then, her brutally honest
inner self comes in. You LIKE Laura. No, she couldn't. She
refused to ever like anyone again. She glances at the drawing of
her brother and absent-mindedly brushes her scarf with her thin
fingers. Glitch's wound suddenly sears violently with pain, but she
shoves down the cough rising in her throat and sighs. "I'm...
sorry. For dragging you into this mess. This war."
"Maybe. I'm Orchid, by the way." The girl says, brushing a piece of
dark brown hair out of her eyes. It's cut short, almost like a
boys, but long enough to obscure her vision.
"Are you feeling better now?"Night asks while lifting her head to
look at Nyx.They had shifted to where Night was laying on the bed
and Nyx was laying on top of her.Nyx hums and nods."You know,I am
not a bed."She muses getting a giggle out of Nyx."But I am
the...hug monster."She says while giving Nyx a hug causing another
giggle to escape Nyx.
"Nightmare's just stressed because Glitch has been behaving weird
recently. She's the glitches "guardian," so I guess she has a good
reason." Orchid replies, ignoring the handshake. She absently tucks
a piece of hair behind one of her slightly pointed ears. A nervous
tick she had, though no one would really guess she was ever
nervous, with her smooth voice and careless attitude. Her pointed
ears, slender face, slightly tilted eyes, and small frame overall
actually makes her look sort of elf-like, especially with a the
vivid, almost neon green eyes and delicate features. A few odd
things ruined the look, mostly the reptilian pupils, like little
slits, but she also has a strange, curving scar on the left side of
her neck. It's shaped like a twisted rose, complete with thorns and
a swirling stem. To top it off, a thin black tail with a triangle
tail-tip hangs limply behind her, it's edge looking sharp and
possibly even more dangerous than a dagger.
"Ha, you're friend is perceptive. Though, I'm obviously not very
nervous. If you have any experience with tailed beings, if I was
more anxious, my tail would be curled more than a roller coaster."
Orchid says with a wink, her eyes shifting from their bright green
to a more yellow-green.
"Come on Nyx.Let's go explore.Who knows what we may find.Maybe a
garden for you to tend to?"Night says while sitting up.Nyx nods and
gets off of the bed and makes her way to the door along with
Night.They both exit the room after Night picks up her bag and
starts to explore the area.
"Ah, you're one of those then. I see. Well, it was lovely seeing
you all, but I've got cannibalistic roses I have to water before
they start eating each other again." Orchid waves with her tail,
keeping her arms by her side. "So tata!" She heads off down the
hall, pushing the hair out of her eyes again.
Nyx was walking ahead of Night slightly trying to take in all of
the images on the stain glass."I think the one ahead of us has a
rose on it sweetheart."Night informs Nyx quietly making Nyx's head
snap to the window she was talking about and let out a quiet yet
happy squeal.Night just smiles happy that Nyx was enjoying herself.
"Flowers or Papa."Nyx mutters to herself while her head snaps back
in forth between two smaller hallways that lead off the big
one.Down one of them was Ricky where he was talking to Anna and the
other lead to what looked like a garden area.Night stood behind Nyx
and silently giggled."Do you not know which way you wish to go?"Nyx
quickly shakes her head no."How about you ask your father if he
wants to go look at the flowers with you?That way you don't have to
choose."She suggests making Nyx nod.They start to walk towards
Ricky before Nyx stops."Whats wrong sweetheart?"Nyx bites at her
lip and looks up at Night."What if papa doesn't want to go?I don't
want to bother him."Night just smiles."Would you like me to ask
him?"She receives a quick nod of approval."Alright then let's go."
Orchid inspects a blooming rose carefully, her green eyes now more
of the color of pine needles. "Hm. You're sick, aren't you, love?"
She says softly. "Oh, how I wish Glitch would sing to you again..."
