[u]Day 17 - Morning - Lvl 13[/u]

Cinera practically jumped 10 feet into the air at the sound of someone shouting. She hadn't realized she'd fallen asleep, much less that anyone would make that kind of noise so late at night... or early in the morning. Was it daytime, now? Sunlight shone through the light curtains, making her squint as her eyes adjusted to the newfound brightness of the room. Her and Delcastle hadn't gotten up from the floor last night, and her back ached from the hard surface of the floor. She did notice that she'd actually readjusted during the night to sleep with her head in his lap, and it made her a bit embarrassed, but now wasn't the time for things like that. What was important now was that Sapphira was awake, and she didn't seem to be doing well.

She was on her feet in an instant, a bit fearful at Sapphira's initial threatening behavior and posture. Cinera's mouth just gaped open as she watched the terror in her friend's eyes. Delcastle stayed silent as well, before she seemed to realize who they were. It was a briefly awkward moment, to say the least. [b]"S... Sapphira..."[/b] She took a small, careful step toward the broken figure, not wanting to scare her anymore than she was. Her voice was soft, and caring, trying to be as soothing as possible, but yet there were tears running down her cheeks. Fear or relief, Cinera couldn't tell... Probably both. [b]"It's okay... You're... Y-You're safe..."[/b] Slowly, she made her way toward her friend, until she could kneel down right in front of her.

In a time like this, she didn't know what else to say. Her eyes glanced back at Delcastle, who seemed to have a painful look in his eye. She had been so strong earlier; was she really acting like this because of a monster? Cinera got a nasty feeling in her gut, and she knew that Delcastle had caught onto something she hadn't - his face said it all. And it frightened her. [i]What did she mean by 'Haven't you done enough'...?[/i] She was lost, and he wasn't saying anything. What should she do? How could she console her friend? Silently, her hand reached for one of the potions as she turned to gently take Sapphira's hand in her own. Very softly, she placed the bottle into her palm and held both of her hands with her own.

[b]"Drink this... Please... Your HP is extremely low..."[/b] That was all she could think to say as she now gazed upon her scratched and broken skin, seeing her wrecked fur and bloody body. The tears were almost involuntary as this nasty feeling wouldn't go away. Her words were stopped as she suddenly lunged forward, pulling Sapphira's small frame close to her own in a firm (but not tight) hug. [b]"I-I'm so glad you're safe...!"[/b] She knew this wasn't the time or place, but Cinera couldn't help but to cry. It had almost given her a heart attack to see her like that in the dark. She really wanted to ask what had happened to her, but she didn't have the words. Cinera was just thankful that she wasn't dead. She was thankful her good friend had woken up. [i]Thank God... Thank God...![/i][/color]
