[i]Coping With Paralysis[/i]
*Sketch sat on a bench overlooking lake. He wasn't doing anything, though... He was just staring... He was only wearing slate sweat pants and a grey t-shirt. He didn't even have his backpack with him.*
*He slouched as he sat, his tail hanging limply off the bench and his ears laid back. His eyes were a deep purple and his fur was ruffled and bunched up, as opposed to it's usual well-combed state.*
*He looked down at his legs, attempting to move them. All he managed to get were a few muscles to tense up, but just barely. He looked back over the water, whimpering.*

Ian yelled from across the lake. "OH! ROASTED!"
-
[spoiler]lol thx[/spoiler]

Quincy strolled by in his red hoodie and grey sweat pants. "You doing ok bud?"
-
"No... No I'm not, Quincy..." *He says, sighing.*
-
He sat next to him. "For what its worth, Alex says he's sorry. Again." Sketch notices Quincy's scars and that part of his left ear is gone.
-
"Alex?" *He looks confused.*
-
"Alpha, sorry."
-
"He doesn't need to apologize... I deserve this..." *He noticed the scars but they only seem to register now.* "How did you get those scars? Will they heal?"
-
"I got em trying to calm him down, and no, they're here to stay..the fur on my fave might grow back with time, Maybe.."
-
"Hopefully it will... Knowing Vorim he'll think the missing tip of your ear is cute, though."
-
He giggles, thinking of Vorim. "Oh, did you hear the good news about us?" he asks, holding his left hand up, showing him the ring.
-
*He nods, his mood lightening a bit. Just a bit.* "I'm happy for you two. Seeing both of you together and hearing what he's said about you, he really is your soul mate and you are his."
-
Q smiles, blushing a little. "Thanks Sketch...for everything. From day one to now, you've always been a friend to me..Im just glad you'll get better."

"You're welcome Quincy... You're one of the closest friends I have now... I've lost so many... The thought of losing people just...... It makes me upset to even think about... My friends are practically my family, and so I treat them as such... I'm glad I carried you up here the day I met you. I'm glad to see you and Vorim so happy. But, I feel horrible for Alpha... I feel sick when I think about what I did to him... I want to tear out my own fur."
-
"Sketch, you need to relax. Take it from me. Ive been...stressed...recently and life isnt giving me a break. Take this time to sort through your life, and see what you can do to make it better for others and yourself." he said, hugging Sketch gently from the side.

[b]Shalidor quietly walked up behind Sketch, watching him, he then walked around the bench and sat down next to sketch.[/b] "... hello... Sketch..."
-
*He doesn't turn to look at Shalidor.* "Hi..."
-
"How did you end up like this?"
-
"I was going to fight Irina... Alpha stopped me... I wasn't going to fight him... He told me that he was suicidal and that I hadn't been there to help him, Irina had. He was so upset and charged me. I had no right to try and stop him, so instead of fighting back, I only hugged him as he broke my spinal column. Sapphire found me just in time and used her helmet to heal me. Sphirinian healing technology is the best the most advanced healing technology in our home dimension, but it struggles with nerves... It'll be months before I can walk again, maybe a year. And I'll have to spend an hour each day using her helmet... But I deserve it. I don't want anyone to be angry at him, to attack him, to hurt him for this... He did nothing wrong."
-
"I don't know if it's possible, but I could try to help, I am a master healer after all... might be worth a shot, if you're willing of course."
-
"No... I don't want you to try and heal me."
