It was just a nightmare. Nothing is going to hurt you.” His words? No. He stole them from Felis. Every few nights or so Lance had woken to Rosa crying and carrying on. Each and every time Felis would go and comfort her again. He was simply repeating words he had heard from his brother. After all, this was the same thing? Right? Well, he wasn’t certain but it was all he could think of doing. “I’m going to let you go now, ok?” Waiting a few seconds, Lance finally loosened his grip on her before slowly pulling his arms away. He certainly didn’t want to be attacked again. Although what he would do next he wasn’t even sure. He wasn’t good with this sort of thing. Comforting people was a weakness of his. Not to mention that he rarely had the desire to. If anything, Felis wasn’t around, Rosa would have been left to cry herself to sleep each night. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

Even still, Carly's desire for the words to be true overrode her fear at least for a time and eventually her breathing became more normal. Hearing Lance speak again, Carly nodded until she felt his arms loosen around her and she was once again out of his safe embrace and in the darkness that was night. Carly's eyes still held a slight trace of fear in them, certainly not as much as had been before though her face still seemed considerably more pale than it should be. Looking up at Lance as he stepped back, Carly held his eyes but briefly before she averted her eyes and looked down at the ground, wrapping Lance's coat around her once again,"I ... sorry .... ,"she whispered quietly,"Can we just ........... go .......... ?"she asked after a moment of silence. Really Carly had no desire to be comforted, she just wanted to get out of this terror filled night and inside where it was safe and as far as she was concerned it didn't matter if it was a tavern, hotel, or some other building ... just as long as she was out of the dark.[/scrolly]

A slow nod then finally came, though his eyes still did not leave her. He had a good feeling he was going to regret the question that was forcing its way to his lips, but he also did not want to fall victim to another attack. “Go where?” He asked, his voice small and soft as it could be. After all, he wasn’t one hundered percet certain as to why she had such an attack at all. Afraid of being left alone? The dark? Or was it his claim to go to a bar or perhaps the hotel? He really couldn’t be sure and thus he figured asking this simple question would be the best bet. Little did she know, she was rather lucky. Most people he would have simply left on the street to fend for themselves. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

The night seemed to close in around her, haunting her with the voices of the past and it didn't seem like anything could stop it ... clenching her eyes shut, Carly shook her head violently and hugged Lance's jacket closer to her,Please ... let's just ... go inside .... anywhere .... ."[/scrolly]

It had been hard to hear her words but he managed anyway and for a moment he just stared at her. “Try not to attack me again along the way.” It wasn’t hissed or spoken with an undertone of cruelly. No, his voice had been rather mentioned and it followed with a small nod. After a few seconds he turned and began to lead the way once again. For a moment the thought of taking her somewhere completely different than a hotel or bar crossed his mind. However, he decided against it when his eyes fell upon the bars name. ‘Tiny Tims Bar and Motel” was the name. It seemed like a rather cheep, run down place. Somewhere Lance wouldn’t normally go but in this circumstance… well she wanted to get inside, didn’t she? “This will do” Lance spoke, leading her towards the building and stopping to shove the door open. A tiny bell rang as he entered causing a few faces to lift and look up at him before continuing on with whatever they had been doing. Lance knew very well already that he looked out of place but ignored it and instead found his way towards a table. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

Yes of course she was still scared ... but like Lance had said, nobody was going to hurt her ... or at least so she believed. Had Carly been in her right mind she would have surely yelled at him or at the very least questioned him why would he think she would attack him but Carly was far from her normal self at the moment. When she spotted the building they were headed to, Carly didn't even question what sort of place this was but instead hurried inside without a word shortly after Lance opened the doors. Sitting down at the table Lance walked to, Carly sighed and closed her eyes as she tried to breathe once again now that the darkness had been replaced by the light in the establishment. Though the building was quite warm, Carly found herself still pulling the jacket around her, more for comfort than actually being cold at this point in time. "I need a drink ... ,"Carly muttered under her breath after a moment of silence, looking up at Lance for the first time since her meltdown outside,"Didn't you say something about that earlier as well ... ?"[/scrolly]
