Welcome to Gaia! ::

She's soaking wet, leaving a trail of water as she walks. Normally she'd just absorb the water on her clothes, save it for a later use, but she's not thinking about it now.

She stumbles into the med ward, only half aware of where she is. She hates this place, but her mind isn't making the connection between fear and a location. It's just a room and beds. Lots of beds, all in white. Pretty beds. All with clean sheets. She counts them as she makes her way over to one of the cabinets.

Pretty shelves. So many pretty shelves. She digs through the drawers, pulling out random drugs and syringes. She's not quite certain what's she's looking for. Pretty liquids, all different colors. She'll make a rainbow, if she can just find a purple one.

Nothing falls to the floor, but the counter and sink are cluttered.

"Pretty colors all in a row. One falls down, where will the other ones go? Where is your friend? Pretty colors. All pretty colors. Do you have a pot of gold? So far away in your glass jars. I should smash you, make you mix together. Make brown. You'd be friends then. Would you like that? Such pretty, pretty colors."

"Well, my grandmother got it in her head to try take a firm hand on the actions of our family. She tried to marry off one of my sisters to begin with. And when my parents intervened, she hired someone to get rid of them. Banished my father's soul into a crow's body, and almost did the same to my mother. Dad's curse could have been reversed, but his body died before we had the chance to figure out how."

Iri closes her eyes and shakes her head. The firm set of her lips gives away her anger. "Had to relocate my parents and sisters to protect them."

"hm." was all she said as she bent her fingers formign a fist.
~it hurts~ She thought bending it back till it was relaxed again.
"i think i'm going to head in. I'm tired." She said turning around looking at him.
"thank you." She said before she ran off to her room getting changed into her nightgown and laying on her bed looking at the cieling. Her door was almost closed but slightly open. She had nothing anyone could steal and she just felt better like that.

One wing shrugs. "I dunno. Personally, I just hope my grandmother and the rest of our kin do the smart thing and leave them be. If they don't, then I'm ready and willing to resort to some dirty tricks of my own."

A sad smile spreads across Iri's lips. "I'm sorry. It's not your problem to worry about. You've got plenty on your plate already, I'm sure."

"So you got my back, huh?" Iri giggles a bit before releasing Reeve's hand and letting her own fall to the ground. She sighs and lets her eyes close again. For some odd reason, she's starting to feel sleepy. "I appreciate it, Reeve."

Reeve smiles and takes her inside the Academy, laying her on a couch, already fast asleep.
