22. Return [Voice/Action]

[corrinesbell]

[It’s hard to notice at first, with how muffled it is: the sound of short, sharp breaths. It’s a steady sound, one that seems more like background noise, like static, than anything unusual. Only after several minutes of this does the noise change; following a soft thump, it gets louder]

D-Damn it…

[Slowly, she rises again, not even bothering to brush off this new layer of snow. She walks with one arm tight around her ribs, and the other one against her side, numb fingers holding onto the book. She wants to throw it – she would throw it, given the strength, if it wasn’t the only thing that could let people find her. She holds no illusions about getting back to the village herself, this time. It’s too far…like this.]

But…the snow…it’s…

[Another soft thump. This time, though, she isn’t getting up.]

I…I’m…it’s c-cold. …S-Sorry…but at l-least...

[[ooc: Ah, it seems to be Monday. On this side of the line, anyway. Sheena’s been kicking to get out this whole time, and the inside of my head was starting to break, so she’s back.]]

Then Lloyd and I will make sure you continue on.

[he's heard in the background calling to Lloyd and telling him about Sheena]

[honestly trying now, because she hates challenges to her willpower and also knows how bad of a lecture she'll get from Lloyd]

Mmh...'ll get back...

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

Sh-Sheena! Where are you?

[corrinesbell]

Dunno...'s cold...

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

Is anyone comin' for you? Are you hurt?

[corrinesbell]

I think...Lloyd...
...Y-Yeah. ...Sorry...

Sheena...

We're coming to find you.

[voice post]

[corrinesbell]

Okay.

[she couldn't fight back anyway]

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

You'll be all right soon, don't worry.

[he's just saying stuff now, but Kratos told him to keep her talking]

[voice post]

[corrinesbell]

'm not worried...out, a-aren't I?

[quitemysterious.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's good to see you're back. I hope you don't mind if I entrust Lloyd to pick you up. I have a gift once you're more stable.

[voice post]

[corrinesbell]

[she's got a few things to say to you, too]

S-Stay away! [that's a yell]

[voice post]

[quitemysterious.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I'm almost hurt by such hostility.

[bulletscars.livejournal.com]

Ma'am! Have you been retrieved yet?

[corrinesbell]

Mm? N-No, but...they're coming...

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

Sheena...!

Tell me where you are!

[corrinesbell]

I-I don't know.

[[ooc: We'll say this was before Lloyd and Kratos got there?]]

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

When I find the bastards who did this to you I'm gonna...!!
