-laughs-

Not really.
-small smile-

-pets Henri, looks at Altair-
......

Thing hurts my wrist sometimes..

-just stares at it-
....
Hey...You're missing a finger.
-jolts-
I - I mean, I...don't mean to be rude!

-henri sniffs the blade-
This has seen many deaths.

-shrugs-
Each culture is different.
-smiles-
Tell me about your world.

-frowns-
My sister was severed from her daemon by the magisterium.
-sad-
She's in that vault I was trying to get into.
-looks at-
I...I can't do anything for her...nothing I do will bring her soul back...but...to...at least...be with her again...

-eyes widen-
Im...im so sorry....
-awkward-
I..dont even know what to say..

It's okay.
-sighs-
My parents are gone, too.
Went out fighting. Both of them.
-leans on the table-
.........Being here...
I just...feel awful that there's nothing I can do.
They're probably so ashamed of me...letting my little sister get severed and then abandoning her!


-henri tense, just sitting on the table-

-reaches out,puts a hand on his head-
Look at me...
You have fought well my friend...
You did what you could, and thats all that matters.

I'd like some time to myself.


-purrs-

-stands,sighs-
...Alright..

-henri stays with Altair-

-confused look-
....Shouldnt you follow him?
-starts walking to his room-

Come in then?

-hops onto the bed-
....
-yawns, stretches-

-lays down,yawns-
Good night my friend..

......
Good night, Altair.
-closes eyes-

.....
....
-sleeps-

Good morning my friend..
-reaches out then stops-
Maybe you should go see Remy yes?

-looks at his hand-
....Yes, I suppose.
-sighs-
He's not going to be happy.
-swishes tail as she hops onto the floor-

?
-follows-
Why not?
Do you not have free will..

I do...in a way.
We are connected, but we are...different entities.
I have my thoughts and he has his...but all of our senses are connected.
It's hard to explain...
-small sigh, flicks her tail-
I am his soul. His inner desires and fears and everything are channeled and projected through me.

-chuckles-
So in a way, he wanted to sleep in my bed?
-amused look-

-tail swishes-
I cannot speak on his behalf.
Although on top of his feelings, I chose to sleep on your bed because I wanted to help you sleep.

For that i thank you.
-smiles-
Now should we go wake up sleeping beauty?

He's awake.
-ear flicks-
....
-turns-


-walks towards, yawns-
There you are.
-looks at Henri-
Traitor.
