[b]She recoils as though it hurt. Something about the eyes and the contact sets her off.[/b]
[i][u]"No... I can't..."[/u][/i]
English
-
"Can't what?" [i] He asks calmly, sitting down in the water next to her.[/i]
-
[u][i]"I don't want to talk about it... How'd you even get here?"[/i][/u] [b]Anumi tries to think of how he has seemingly snuck on the ship.[/b]
-
"It's not important." [i] He smiles, taking her hand in his, a friendly gesture.[/i] "Are you okay?"
-
[b]She recoils once again. Something about touching causes her to wince and retract.[/b] [i][u]"Yeah... I'm fine..."[/u][/i]
-
"Look, I'm one of the good guys." [i] He continues to hold her hand, tracing his thumb on the back of her wet hand, holding it underwater.[/i] "And I can tell you aren't okay, because you've got the same look in your eyes that I used to."
-
[b]Panic flares up in her heart. She whimpers and begins to tremble. She quickly pulls her hand away. She holds it in her other one, turning it over as if looking for wounds.[/b]
-
[spoiler]is there anything, literally anything he can do to get her to calm down and trust him? [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]She was abused heavily long ago. Physically and verbally. She doesn't respond well to touch.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Damn. Alright.[/spoiler] "I'm sorry. Look, what's your name? I'm Lance. That's my actual name, not my callsign." [i] He smiles warmly.[/i]
-
[i][u]"I'm Anumi... That's my name... Not my callsign."[/u][/i] [b]She lets out a deep breath.[/b] [i][u]"I could just use some time to think..."[/u][/i]
-
"Alright, I get that. But if you need a friend or someone to talk to, I'm here." [i] He gives her another smile, his eyes losing the icy and cold tone and taking on a more mellow and soothing vibe.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Thats the guy from bleach right? The pic? That's a perfect persona for your character :)[/spoiler] [b]Anumi finds ease in the words.[/b] [i][u]"Thanks... That means a lot... More than you think..."[/u][/i]
-
"Trust me, I know what it means to have a friend when you think you don't have any." [i] He stands up, water rolling off his body.[/i] "If you need anything Anumi, just shout." [i] He smiles.[/i] [spoiler]haha, thanks, I appreciate it.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Something flashes in her eyes for a moment but she says nothing more. She lays back in the water, letting it roll over her body, soaking her clothes and clearing her face of the tears. She closes her eyes and seems at peace.[/b]
-
[i] She doesn't see him, but he vanishes from the room. [/i]
-
[spoiler]End.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]any chance that she'll actually call on him if she needs someone to talk to, or did she just say that so he'd leave her alone?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]She'll call. Just wait...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]lmao. Alright.[/spoiler]
