it's the ⓔⓒⓣ<3 (コスプレ) Back with a vengers!

[A Solid Nope]

*Seems to snap out of it for a moment, looking up at Charon with a smile. Those eyes of hers like an ocean.* Okay.

*Takes his hand, and uses him to help herself up.* As long as I don't have to go home.

[Last Knight Standing]

*Accepts the hankie silently, taking a deep breath before she can steady herself enough to talk. Looks over at Geordie, and smiles sadly.* Someone I treasure passed today, and now Charon is here instead.

*Looks back to the tree.* I am certain you don't want to hear me cry about this. *Grins. * I am a very ugly crier. Total mess, no one wants to see that. *Looks apologetic.* I'm sorry, bring in his vicinity really seems to bother you.

Could I ask why?

*is every bit as strong as the vampire. Supports her*

*wrinkles nose* Oh, heck no. We will be having a talk with your brother. *grumble* But not until you're ready for that.

*there's an awful lot of information there. First, she treasured a vampire, one of the actual undead. Maybe she knew him before he changed and just refuses to believe he was already gone? Second, she's sad but not horrified that Death is hanging out in the same room*

... Charon.

Er... *How could he possibly explain why he doesn't want someone he loves fraternizing with Death* I can't actually fathom why it doesn't bother you.

[Last Knight Standing]

*Looks a bit surprised, looking back at Death, and shrugs.* The short version is because I know him.

*Her face wrinkles.* We're um. Linked together. *Tucks a lock of hair behind her ear.* I know he won't hurt us.

[A Solid Nope]

*Laughs at the image of Charon and Geordie confronting Phineas. Realizes it's going to be all bad all around. Grimaces.* ...I don't know what to think.

*Tugs a little at his sleeve.* They're both good people. *Looking over at Geordie and Knight.* I think we're lucky. C'mon.

*Wants to go back to Geordie.*

*That is a completely inadequate explanation. Just looks as confused as it's possible to be.* Oh. All right?

*going to want to do an awful lot of reading after this*

*Wants to go back to Geordie.*

Yeah. Me neither.
*little smile.* So we figure it out.

*nods and will follow her. Probably has a lot of explaining to do for Knight*

[A Solid Nope]

*Lets out a soft sigh, and leans on Charon. Her magic is a soft, steady thrum of power that, until now, wasn't there. Can feel her brother's magic slipping off of her, free of cobwebs. Approaches Geordie and Knight. Speaks quietly.* Geordie...?

[Last Knight Standing]

*Lets out a noisy sigh. Realizes that helps exactly no one.* It"s hard to explain. I um. It's magic? *Winces over the neosporin.* Why is it always cold.

*Yes. Yes you do, Charon.* ...Lenny. Er. Charon? *Rubs at her eyes. Is trying to be an adult.* I'm sorry, I'm sure this makes no sense but I have no idea how to condense it.

*Frowns. Then laughs, and buries her face in her hands again.* I'm my world's only Death Knight. Ha. *Doesn't look up when Molly and Charon approach.*

Molly, sweetie. What happened wasn't your fault. And it looks way worse than it feels. I'm fine.

*apologetic smile*
I'm so sorry, Molly. Are you all right?
*can feel it, like a song stuck in his head. Not used to this. Finishes off taking care of Knight's injuries and fidgets with putting away the first aid materials*

Magic, yeah. But also just how the world works. ^^

*So, this has all been rather crappy, but there has actually been a considerable amount of progress made. It's just that change is always painful.

[A Solid Nope]

*Almost launches herself at Geordie, in absolute relief that he isn't mad at her. Makes a soft sound, looking at Knight.* A-ah. I'm so sorry. I. Are you sure? I could.

*Trails off, realizing absolutely no one is upset with her.* I'm fine. Are you? I'm so sorry.

[Last Knight Standing]

I figured as much, but I didn't want to be wrong. *Smiles at Geordie, nodding in thanks. Doesn't get up. Hurts too much. Slowly relaxes, smiling at Molly.*

You're fine, sweetheart. *Looks up at Charon and sighs again. Is trying very hard not to feel and isn't sure how long that's gonna last. Beams up at everyone, anyways.* Maybe you should explain.

[A Thorn Beneath the Bloom]

*stands, fidgeting with his gloves, instead*
Perfectly all right. But are you sure that you are? You...
*Something's changed. Desperately needs to know what.*
