Wylie, as soon as Jarlan was laying in the bed as well, closed her eyes and allowed herself to sleep. And for the first time in her entire life, she didn't dream... at all.
"I know, I just like calling you that. You always fall asleep before me." Iniko shook his head. "Evie, it's not your fault. You can't blame yourself. That situation wouldn't have been as bad as it was if it weren't for... for whatever they did to her in there." HE frowned, and glanced back up at Evie. "I'm sorry because I came too late to save Wylie's mind, but I might've saved you too early for your body." He reached out and picked up her hand, running his thumb across her cool skin. "How are you hands doing?"

Nieve now shook her head. "We're all happy you came when you did. Any longer for them to figure out what's wrong with me would've resulted in Wylie being worse. Any shorter, and I would be more... unstable." She hated that word, and glanced at him as he took her hands. "I.. they're stiff. That's to be expected though when I turn them like that." She knew he was asking about if they were okay from the burning feeling. She might not have felt it burning anymore, but her hands were a bit red. She looked at him with all of her attention. "So, you pass out whenever there's blood? That's something I never knew."

Iniko gave a dry, humorless laugh. "Happy. I don't know if Wylie is. How often do you see her grin when she doesn't look demented?" He raised his gaze. "Do you know what they did to her?" Iniko only wanted to understand what could have happened inside that building. He'd always believed they all had it equally bad, but looking at Wylie things seemed to have gone so much worse for her, and he didn't know why.
Refocusing on her hands when she spoke of them, he lifted one to his mouth and kissed it softly, wishing with all his might he had healing powers instead of... of being able to slow down time. How was that useful in any positive sense? Her question tore him out of his thoughts, and he went bright red, turning away and crossing his arms. "That's not true- remember me shooting those guards to rescue you guys?" He glanced back at her, hesitantly, and her unwavering gaze prompted honesty, as it always had. "Except... Slowed down blood doesn't get to me. It's only when it slides so slickly and quickly that it disturbs me." He chuckled sheepishly. "Not... Not very manly of me, is it?"

Nieve bit her lip. "Well, not happy. The word I was looking for was grateful..." She glanced down. "No one knows what the others went through. Jarlan and I have no idea about Wylie, Jarlan and Wylie have no idea about me, and Wylie and I don't know about Jarlan. They kept us separated for a reason.." Granted, that reason was mostly because of Iniko's escape but I'm sure there is more than just that.
She gave a small smile when Iniko kissed her hand, and then frowned when he let go to cross his arms. She had stared at him, not quite sure he was being completely honest, and sure enough he spilled out the truth. She giggled a bit and looked at him. "I wouldn't say whether something is manly or not, but it's definitely something silly." She poked his nose, and then looked at her hands again, continuing to open and close them.
Then her face grew a bit worried. "I.. I don't quite understand a lot about being genetically unstable. I feel fine.. I might grow warm but we haven't let me stay warm to see what happens. What if it's just something that stays for a bit and then goes away?" She looked up at him. "I mean, it's not like all the frost will melt away and I'll be someone completely different or anything." She gave a soft chuckle.

Iniko nodded. "I know, I'm sorry, I'm just.." He sighed. "I'm worried." Giving her a wan smile when she mentioned that they didn't know what the others went through, he nodded. "I expected that but... I had to ask." When she giggled at him, he scowled a bit, playfully. "I'll have you know it's actually a completely normal reaction. Maybe that's why we find it so odd."
Iniko reached out and help her hand. "I don't quite understand either. Jarlan talks slow, but I've got a sneaking suspicion he's smarter than all of us." When she chuckled, he smiled and leaned forward and kissed her. "Whatever happens, we're all together in this now." He touched her cheek softly. "We don't have to be alone any more."
((I forgot we were having Wylie use nicknames. XP Should I go back to doing that?))

Nieve gave a small nod. "I know you're worried. After that, I think everyone is." She softly sighed, before lowering her knees finally.
She offered him a small smile when he held her hand again. "A sneaking suspicion? I'm pretty sure he's the smartest of us all." She glanced towards the room. "And if we weren't all taken, I'm sure he would've been a scientist, or something like that." She looked back to Iniko, flushing softly when he kissed her. "That's the way it should've always been." She grabbed his hand and pressed her cheek against it. "I just want to find out what happens to me. Aren't you a bit curious?" Oh Nieve, stop being so curious about everything.

Iniko sighed and leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "Fine. I know he's smartest, I just didn't want to admit it." he paused, thinking of jarlan and Wylie. "He's also amazingly dumb, falling for Wylie." Iniko closed his eyes as tears slipped out. "Think about it Nieve. Wylie's... Wylie's the least likely of all of us to adjust to life outside. Something's going to happen to her, I feel it in my gut." When she grabbed his hand, he opened his eyes and turned his red gaze upon her. "No, I'm not. I don't want to risk it hurting you."

Nieve gently pulled her hand away from his and wiped his tears away. "I don't think he's dumb for falling for her. If anything, I think he could help her adjust." She held his face in her hand, letting the one he had on his face go.She put her other hand on the other side of his face, wiping the rest of the tears away. "We'll deal with that when it happens, as much as I hate saying that. For now, she's okay." She looked into his eyes, then glanced away. "I've dealt so far... and I'm going to get hurt at some point. That's a part of normal life, isn't it?" Nieve sighed softly. "I just want to know."

Iniko sighed a bit at her words. "God, I hope so." She worried about them, about all of them. He was the youngest, but- he believed- the most adjusted to the outside world and honestly, other than the red eyes, the most normal looking. Nothing frosted when he touched it, he didn't hold a grudge against shoes, and he didn't insist on wearing a red ribbon and rose wrapped tophat all the time. "I know. I just don't know how well we'll deal with it." When she glanced away, he put his hand on the top of her head. "I know you want to know. Just don't go inviting trouble, okay?"

Nieve looked at the floor. "We'll hopefully deal with it well, you aren't the only one who has that gut feeling." She sighed once more, before smiling. "Oh Iko, when have I been one to invite trouble?" She gave a small chuckle. She turned her blue eyes to him and gave a serious look. "Would you get mad... if I did just let myself heat up? And didn't bother telling anyone?" For some reason she was clinging to this, maybe because she believed she could possibly be more normal afterwards? Who knew.

Iniko smiled at Nieve. "I hope so too." He brushed her hair behind her ear. "You? Hm.. Never." He raised an eyebrow, showing he clearly wasn't buying it. At her question, the humor faded from his face. "Mad? No. Worried, maybe a little hurt. But it's your call Nieve. I got you out so you could be free. I don't want to control your actions in any way. Just... stay safe. Let yourself heat up, but do it close enough to the snow you can cool back down. Something."

Nieve shook her head. "I wouldn't ever think about doing such a thing not being around snow." She looked at him. "I wouldn't risk that, after all if I do start to hurt because of it, I'd need a way to cool down quick." She bit her lip, a plan forming in her head. "What did you do when you first got free?" She asked, genuinely wondering, then she stood up. "We should probably do something productive while we talk, like clean up the blood on the floor."

Iniko nodded. "I'm glad." When she bit her lip, Iniko's gaze dropped to it and he began to flush, his mind going to dirty things. When she asked what the first thing he did was, Iniko blinked. "I-" Then suddenly she spoke of cleaning up the blood, and he winced, just before hearing Jameson's voice,
"Already handled it while dinner is cookin', no worries."
Iniko nodded gratefully, before glancing back at Nieve. "Well, I accidentally ran right inside Jameson's plane, and when we both realized I was there, it'd taken off. He assured me he was a nice guy... and then took me out for ice cream to prove it. I guess that's the first thing I ever did."

Nieve had noticed the flush and then pointed it out. "Alright, so what's that about?" She poked his cheeks and tilted her head back to Jameson's voice. "Oh, well thank you." She sat back down, taking the time the smooth out the dress. She then chuckled. "So the first thing you did, was run into a strange plane and have ice cream?" She blinked. "Sounds like that woulda been a good experience." She took her hands and made slush. "I can make my own ice cream, if I really wanted to. Well, actually it'd be more like a snow-cone but those are yummy too." She quickly shook the slush off and looked at Iniko. "Well, what else did you do? We have a lot to catch up on.. and I'm sure you don't want to hear about me, and I'd rather not talk about me." She rubbed her forearms softly.

Iniko flushed deeper, mumbling. "You have a veryprettymouthandwhenyoubiteititmakesmereallywanttokissyou." His mumble gained speed the more he said, until he'd ducked his head to hide the flush. At her comment about snow cones, he smiled. "I almost ate a snowcone once, but it made me miss you too bad." When she said they needed to catch up, he shrugged. "I... mostly trained. The ice cream adn the snow cone were really the only times I let myself stop to have fun. I couldn't enjoy myself... because I knew you guys were suffering, and every second I delayed was... another chance for you guys to give up on me."
