Jarlan made a face when he had a bloody smilie face on his cheek and moved for Nieve. He took up keeping Wylie somewhat sane. "Hey Wylie, tell me about our meadow. How'd you find it?"
Nieve froze her hands, and they looked as if they were crystals. She had figured out how to do that a while ago, even though she knew it would take time for them to thaw back to normal. She scooted and placed her hands against the cut, making a face at the warm blood getting on her hands.In fact, with how cold her hands were, Wylie's blood almost burned. She kept that bit to herself, and acted like she was fine.

Wylie only giggled when he made a face, tilted her head at him. "Oh?" She giggled. "Why, I tranversed through the realms of the nightmares, of course." His question had backfired- sending her into her imagination as she recalled the nightmares she'd shifted through to find his dream world. "First there were the nightmares of the needles. I walked through a field of them, in bare feet, each pinprick making the world less and less steady, until it turned into a rolling ocean I tried to swim through. When I sank to the bottom, I found myself tied to the seabed, restrained as men walked all around me, poking and proding every piece of my body, and then there's screaming, such sweet, innocent screaming..."
Iniko stood there, listening, gripping the countertop tightly. I didn't get her out soon enough. He closed his eyes and tears dripped out. What did they do to her?

Nieve looked at her friend in horror, and started to silently cry herself. Her body shook softly, and she held her hands against the cut, hoping to get the swelling and bleeding to stop. The sad tears, and pain tears mixed but she still held her hands in one spot.
Jarlan looked at her, worried. "Wylie, hey. Come back. I meant our meadow out here." He saw Nieve starting to shake, and he couldn't help it and panicked. "Wylie, come back. Help me think of how to fix Nieve. You're smart. Let's do it together."
Nieve became vocal now. "Fix me? What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with me?" She began to shake uncontrollably at this point.
Jarlan bit his lip. Well now he had to tell her. "I don't think you are genetically stable." He watched her try and comprehend what he just said. "I think that's why you got heated the other day. I can't know for sure, and I didn't want you to know.."
Nieve frowned. "Well, it's a little late for that now, don't you think?!" Her voice went a pitch higher, showing she was panicking now, and boy did her hands sting.

Wylie only chuckled as Jarlan spoke to her. "Our meadow here? Where's that?" She tilted her head, staring at Jarlan. "Fix her? Why, but the broken toys are the most fun!" The words 'genetically stable' sobered her for a moment, leaving her blinking, but it was the high pitched panicked Nieve voice that made Wylie jump up and spin around. "Nieve, stop!"
She grabbed her wrists, and shoved her hands under the cool water Iniko had been rinsing the potatoes with. "Blood is really warm, you numbskull." It was a mutter, and one without heat. She then turned Nieve, who was probably still freaking out, towards Jarlan."Tell her to sleep." "Wylie-" "Shut up Iniko. Jarlan, do it. Please!" Wylie could feel her grip on her sanity slipping, now that her own blood was back in her vision. But Nieve panicking wasn't going to help anything, and Nieve cooled down faster when she slept. "Jarlan!"
Wylie always had been the one to react best under pressure, when her mind didn't stray away and go play with kittens of doom.

Nieve as dragged to the sink, hands washed. That didn't help much though for she was a panicked mess, shaking, sobbing, and now heating up. She looked at Jarlan, not knowing what to do.
Jarlan sighed, and gave a sad look. "I'm sorry Evie." He put his hands on her forehead, smoothing away her hair. "I'm going to need you to fall asleep for me." He continued to smooth away her hair, and feeling around her face trying to get a base temperature. "Nieve, listen to me. I need you to close your eyes, and fall asleep." Nieve was fighting it, but her eyes were beginning to blink slower. Jarlan's hair shimmered and he covered her eyes. "Nieve, it's alright. You are fine. Go to sleep." That did it, and she slumped, Jarlan catching her sleeping body. His hair returned to normal and he looked at Wylie, and then to Iniko.

Wylie watched with no small measure of guilt as Jarlan eased/forced Nieve to sleep, whispering her apologies over and over to herself, gripping her hands- her bloody hands- together tightly. When Nieve slumoed, Wylie reached forward to take her- but hesitated when she saw her hands, still coated in blood, despite washing Nieves. "Oh. Um."
"I got her." Iniko stepped forward, scooping Nieve into his arms. "I think... I think I'll carry her up to the snow again. I think it'll help. Jameson, you got dinner?"
"Yup." Iniko nodded, and walked out the door, carrying Nieve bridal style. However, he hesitated by Wylie. "We don't blame you, so stop muttering apologies. I'm sorry I didn't get you out sooner."
"N-no, if you had, who knows what st-state Nieve would be in." Wylie watched him leave, and started shaking. "I-I need to go." She lurched for the door, but before she'd even left the kitchen, the world tilted and she crashed to the floor again. Reaching back, she touched her head. "I-I'm not bleeding anymore, wh-why can't I move?" Wylie realized she was stuttering, and freezing. Oh. Guess Nieve did her job a lil too well.

Jarlan had gone quiet, and watched Iniko leave with Nieve, though he felt horrible forcing her to do something, that she didn't want to do.He then watched as Wylie fell over. "Guess you are going straight to your bed." He scooped her up, and sighed. "I'll be back to help you Dad." He walked into the bedroom and set her down onto her bunk. "I'm sorry I make things worse all the time." He couldn't look the girl in the eye, and let out a yawn. Damn this stupid side-effect...
Nieve was fast asleep and breathing normally, thank the heavens. Well, breathing as normal as one could after sobbing and shaking hysterically.

Wylie shook her head. "No, I can't, I- eep." Wylie went to hold on while picked up, but stopped herself. "No, Jarlan, wait, I-" He set her on the bed and she held out her still bloody hands, unaware of how sad her eyes looked. Deep brown pits of some hidden pain she'd told no one about. "I have to wash my hands." Wylie realized he wasn't looking her in the eyes, and pulled away. "Y-You aren't looking at me. Oh no." She started to shake worse. "I-I-I went too far, didn't I?" She hadn't heard his apology, she was so caught up in what was going on in her head. Realizing her sanity was slipping, she pressed herhands onto her temples. "No no no no no, not again, not again, keep it together."
Iniko reached the snowy part of the mountain fairly quickly for carrying a whole nother person, and set her down in the snow, building up a nice little pillow of it for her, lightly packed so it wasn't too hard to lay in.

Jarlan realized she hadn't heard him and he watched her as her sanity began to slip.He took her head into his hands and made her look at him, and him look at her. "Hey, look at me." He gave a small sigh. "Focus on me for a moment. Look me in the eyes and breathe. That's enough slipping for one day." He spoke slowly, his tone suggesting that he was persuading her on what she should do.
Nieve could feel that she was cooling down, but she couldn't wake up. She knew her eyes were shut, she knew she was breathing, but she wanted to be awake. That wasn't about to happen, not after Jarlan made her sleep.

Wylie relaxed visibly the moment he took her head into his hands, and she raised her eyes up towards him. She knew what that signaled, knew he was probably about to try using his power on her, but just like she'd been willing to try Jameson's weird tea, she was willing to try this. Anything to get out of her own head. She breathed when he told her took, taking calm, but large gulps of air, and feeling herself calm down. Her eyelashes fluttered a moment, and she realized she was tired. When she did, she reached out and unthinkingly grabbed a fistfull of his shirt- her way of telling him she didn't want him to go. Sleeping scared her, it always did. But not when he was there.
Iniko, watching her sleep, came to the realization that she wasn't going to wake up without Jarlan telling her to do so. "Damnit." Standing, he scooped her back into his arms, some snow coming along with, and quickly headed back dowwn the mountain. At least she's cooled off now, thank god.

Jarlan was about to walk away when he felt a fistfull of his shirt being tugged on. He looked at Wylie, and offered her a small smile, and a nod. "We'll clean your hands up first, then you can lay with me. Alright?" He asked as if she really had a choice. Picking her back up, he walked her out to the kitchen, ignoring his father for the moment. He grabbed a small dish towel and wet it, then scrubbed at her hands. Once they were clean, he tossed the dish towel in the trash, and headed back into the bedroom with her in his arms.

Wylie nodded, never releasing her grip until they were in the kitchen and he was scrubbing her hands. She took the dishtowel from him and dabbed and the back of her head too, but it was mostly ineffective at cleaning up any of the blood soaking her hair. When he picked her up the second time, she leaned against him, her hand grabbed a different part of his shirt. "Thanks." She murmured, almost like a sleepy child. She still had a few tremors, but by the time they were laying down, she was fine.
Jameson watched the exchange, sighing a little bit. "That was my favorite dishtowel."
Iniko walked in, glanced at the kitchen, and walked into the bedroom, sorta kicking the door open, but somehow doing so lightly. "Yo, Jarlan, before you sleep you need to wake her up. She seems like she'll be calmer now."

Jarlan had laid Wylie down, and was about to lay down himself when Iniko showed back up. "Oh, of course." He put his hand back over Nieve's eyes and spoke softly. "Go ahead and wake up Evie." He took his hand back and laid down with Wylie, wrapping his arms around her. He was at the point that he couldn't keep his eyes open, thanks to the side effect of his powers. "So much for going into town today." He murmured.
Nieve opened her eyes slowly, and clung to Iniko when she realized she wasn't standing anymore. She saw the older two in the bed and stayed quiet, looking up at Iniko.

Wylie opened her eyes and waved at Iniko. "'msorry." She closed her eyes, plainly drained from the blood loss. Her hand reached out and grabbed onto Jarlan's shirttails, since he hadn't laid down yet and she didn't want him running off.
Iniko glanced over at Wylie and smiled softly. "Hey, don't worry about it. We'll figure everything out together." He glanced back at Evie when she woke up, and smiled. "Hey sleepy head." Nodding to Jarlan, he turned and walked out of the room, setting her down in the 'living' room, where she couldn't see the blood that hadyet to be cleared up. "Sorry." for the first time, Iniko let himself think about their 'genetically unstable' theory.

Jarlan, eyes still closed, pulled Wylie to him, then passed out. With the exertion of him using it accidentally, then using it twice on Nieve and once on Wylie, his alertness and ability to stay awake were shot.
Nieve looked down at herself as Iniko walked her into the 'living' room. "I wasn't sleeping because I wanted to.." She responded to being called a sleepy head. Once set down, she pulled her knees towards her and hugged them. "Wylie would've been okay if I didn't throw that snowball. I had to help somehow.." Now she was defending why she endured her hands buring, raising them and repeatedly opening and closing them. They felt a bit stiff from being frozen, but it didn't hurt anymore. Evie looked up at him, and tilted her head softly. "Why are you sorry about?"
