A look in the hectic life...

::he might pass the room White was in, he ten times as glum as Rhia was, slumped down in the window seat of the sitting room, face pressed against the window. no one had really ever thought about what it might be like for the two of them should they be split up...it had never happened before, in all those years. not like this, anyway...with one leaving without saying goodbye to the other..::
nelmorr13 (1:32:31 AM): ::Rhayvin would come to a stop as he looked over into the room that White was in. true, he hadn't seen him all that much, but the little that he'd seen of him either had him happy or occasionally upset. but never depressed.::
Jason RAVVK5 (1:34:19 AM): ::the same bruise would be on his arm, both arms visible as he'd actually taken his sweater off, something he hardly ever did as well, always too modest or bashful to show much skin at all, mostly because he was so pale and scrawny. the sweater was balled up under his head, not having had the willpower to get up and walk a few feet to get a pillow from one of the couches in the room. yeah...he was wrecked..::
nelmorr13 (1:35:15 AM): ::walking in quietly, he moved around to the side of him, looking down with some concern in his eyes.:: White....you alright?
Jason RAVVK5 (1:36:08 AM): ::his head would shift slightly, glancing sideways towards Rhayvin. he gave a weak grunt, letting his head rest against the window again. some answer...::
nelmorr13 (1:37:29 AM): ::he'd take that as a negative response.:: Anything I can do for you? I know I may be a pretty poor substitute, but if you need someone, I'm here to help you out.
Jason RAVVK5 (1:39:23 AM): ::he'd give a sigh, turning his head to look up at Rhayvin:: Sorry, chap...you're not quite what I need... ::he looked almost...sick..and not in the disgusting sense of the word, but really, actually sick, like that black magick had been necessary as a balance of power...or, eh, maybe he was just depressed..::
nelmorr13 (1:41:00 AM): Kay, man. Like I said...I'll do what I can to help. Just...let me know. ::turning, he headed for the door. all he could really do was put himself out there. let him know he was available.::
Jason RAVVK5 (1:41:59 AM): ::he looked over at the window again, then hissed some, looking down at his arm:: What in the world...?
nelmorr13 (1:46:42 AM): ::pausing at the hissing, he turned and looked down at White's arm.::
Jason RAVVK5 (1:48:00 AM): ::there'd be a new set of cuts, only this time, the message obviously wasn't from Arcane. the cuts spelled out "Come home". White's head lowered some, resting his hand over his arm:: My lady...
nelmorr13 (1:49:35 AM): ::Rhayvin would stay there only long enough to see what the message said before he was out the door and bolting upstairs to where Rhia was supposed to be.::
Jason RAVVK5 (1:52:24 AM): ::she wouldn't be in the bedroom, but out on a balcony off of one of the empty rooms up there, a place she'd often gone to be alone, one of her secret little places she'd yet been bothered at by anyone. she was sitting out of sight of both the window and the ground outside, her pocket knife held weakly in one hand, which was laying on the balcony beside her, other hand resting limply on her other side, face burried in her knees::
nelmorr13 (1:56:11 AM): ::he'd rush around the house, eventually coming to find her there on the balcony.:: Rhia!! ::quickly coming to kneel beside her, he ripped his shirt and wrapped it around her arm.::
Jason RAVVK5 (1:58:07 AM): ::she'd be trembling, partly from crying, and partly from the rush the pain had brought her. not so long ago, cutting herself had been one of the ways she decreased her level of stress, one of the reasons she'd had so many scars so much of the time::
nelmorr13 (2:03:31 AM): ::moving her off of the balcony, he carried her into the house and over to their room where the bed was. laying her down, he placed his hand on her forehead.::
Jason RAVVK5 (2:05:13 AM): ::she'd pull her head out from under his hand, rolling onto her side with her back to him, holding her arm tightly to herself, fist clenched so that the blood would continue to flow. seemed she was starting to react similarly to White...she'd actually had a very similar episode when Kalvin had disappeared the first time...it was quite traumatic, to lose a part of yourself, literally::
nelmorr13 (2:09:41 AM): ::pulling her closer to him, he extended his wings and put them around her, holding her close with them.::
Jason RAVVK5 (2:11:09 AM): ::she'd start crying all over again, turning towards him, but not to hug him, beating her fist against his chest:: Why'd he go?! Why...why couldn't he at least say goodbye...why'd he have to go...
nelmorr13 (2:16:51 AM): ::he would just hold her, allowing her to beat on him and get out that anger and sadness and hurt. she had to let it out somehow.::
Jason RAVVK5 (2:18:58 AM): ::White would find them, standing at the door for a bit as he heard her frustrations. after a bit, he'd step into the room, though hesitantly, afraid he was intruding:: May I...? ::looking to Rhayvin. he didn't want to seem as though he were imposing or suggesting he could do a better job of comforting her...his main reason for coming was to heal her arm, so that it wouldn't scar::
nelmorr13 (2:21:20 AM): ::Rhayvin was more concerned about getting Rhia back to her old self than his own ego at that moment. he also knew that, while he loved her dearly, White probably knew more about her than he ever would. slowly opening his wings, he'd allow White access to her.::
Jason RAVVK5 (2:23:43 AM): ::he'd slip forward, crawling up onto the bed and scooting close to Rhia. he'd gently pry her free from Rhayvin, , though it wouldn't be very hard, his touch at once causing her to turn towards him, she hanging on to him desperately. her pain would move him, wrapping his arms around her as a few tears fell down his cheeks. it was almost as if the guy had died, rather than just left to be on his own for a while...just a testament to how closely the three really were connected::
nelmorr13 (2:25:36 AM): ::Rhayvin would watch them, almost envious that he didn't feel as they did so that he could be involved. he wanted to be a part of all of Rhia's life. the good and bad.::
Jason RAVVK5 (2:29:37 AM): ::after a few minutes, he'd pull her away from him, holding her out at arm's length:: We have to buck up, Rhia...it'll be alright. He'll come back soon enough; if you and I are hurting this much, he's gotta be hurting, too, twice-over because he's got neither of us. ::he lifted up her arm, unwrapping it and running his hand over it, speaking all the while, Rhia listening intently, as if his very words were healing her:: He might not show it all the time..or ever..but he loves us; you especially, my lady. Once he's found what he's searching for, he'll come back. ::once he finished, he'd lift his hand up to her cheek:: Stay strong, princess.
