Opening her mouth to say something, she gives up. Getting up, she heads to the bathroom, and locks the door behind her. Could she wash it away? Checking that she had a towel, she flicked on the shower, blinking away the blur of tears. Getting undressed, she closes her eyes stubbornly, so she doesnt have to look at the scar. Stepping under the water, she sobs slightly. Was everyone going to scream in terror at her?

Watching her, his smile fades away. He wanted to be able to talk so he could ask her what's wrong. He looks back to Arceli as he hears Xan step into the shower.

"Xan... you said... The blood?"
Arceli is still too shocked to speak properly. Did she imagine the other day or something? She shakes her head.
"what the hell is wrong with me? I thought Xan was dead"
Her voice is filled with relief, but confusion and worry, too. Was she mad?

He points to his throat and then makes a 'x' with his fingers. He then looks over to the bathroom door with a concerned look on his face.. Had he upset her by not saying anything...?

Closing her eyes, the tears still came. She felt as low as anyone could possibly be. People who she knew before her 'death' were now terrified or confused about her. She had to admit, Arceli's scream hurt. But it also made her think. Would everyone scream at her? She wouldnt be able to handle something like that. Why survive when people are scared of you?

Arceli sees that Kin still wasnt speaking. She hadn't completely imagined the last day or so... She wanders over to the bathrrom door and opens it, sliping in and closing the door behind her. She calls out, above the sound of the shower, and looking away from it just to be polite.
"Xan... I thought you were dead..."

His eyes widen as Arceli steps into the bathroom, without thinking he reaches around the door and pulls her out. He closes the bathroom door again then looks at Arceli. He walks over to the sideboard, finding a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbles down "..Not to be rube but I think she needs some time alone.. Come back tomorrow night." Then hands her it, ushering her out the door and closing it once she's out. He looks towards the bathroom door and sighs.. He didn't dare see if she was alright..

As the door opened, she immediately grabbed the towel and wrapped it round herself, switching off the shower as she did so. As the hiss of the water stopped, she sat down. Stretching out her arm, she looks at the now fading scars of the small cuts and bruises she picked up in the river, and smiles. It was short lived, because she knew the 'other' scar wouldn't fade. Resting her head on her knee's, she closes her eyes and tries to rationalise herself.

He approaches the door slowly and stops just outside. He knocks gently and tries to speak "..Xan..?" He manages to say eventually.

Looking up as she hears him speak, she wipes her face, before standing up. Opening the door slowly, she doesnt meet his eyes, and she seems more timid than usual. Fixing her gaze on the floor, she forces a smile. "..Hey there.."

He tries to speak again as she opens the door but no such luck. He quickly runs over to the sideboard and picks up the paper and pen. He walks back towards her while writing "I'm sorry if I upset you.." He then holds it up for her as he reaches her.

Reading the note, she smiles genuinely for a second or two. "You didnt.. I just.. I dont know.." She shrugged, and watched the paper. "..Its a shock to hear everyone thinks your dead, and have people.. Scream at you.." Her voice croaked a little, but she carried on. "When you've known them a while.. I mean.. I cant take that.. What if everyone's scared of me..?"

He crosses out what he previously wrote and quickly scribbles down. "I'm sorry.. But it's the same when you find out someone's dead.. Then see them in your kitchen two days later.. Cheer up, it's alright.." He smiles weakly as he kisses her cheek and shows her the paper.

Backing into the bathroom and closing the door so she could still talk to him, she changed into her clothes again. Feeling awkward as he'd probably seen more of her than she had anyway, she makes sure the scar is covered before letting herself out and closing the door behind her. "..I'm sorry. If I hadn't of gone out that day, when I should have known better, he wouldn't have.. Found me. This would never have happened."

"Don't apoligise.." He manages to force out before turning away and coughing. He could feel his voice gradually coming back. He turns to her again and quickly scribbles down "It wasn't your fault, you weren't to know. If I hadn't gone to Washington you probably wouldn't have gone out, so it's my fault too."
