[sup][b]Interacting With:[/b] Xerxes Arvanitis ([@YoshiSkittlez]), Gage Brooks ([@BlackPanther]), Cassandra Arvanitis and Quinton Matson ([@Caits]), and everyone else in the room.[/sup][/color][/center] [hr][hr] [color=DarkOrange]“Syleste… please. You have my word, Gage is fine. He’s in a lot of pain right now, but he’s… healing… quite quickly, actually…”[/color] His words… though meant to calm her, fell upon deaf ears; the sound nothing more than white noise as she continued to struggle against him- she had to leave, she had to find Gage; to make sure that he was alright, that he wasn’t in any pain… The feeling of his firm hand pressing against the center of her chest, however, caught her attention, causing her to turn her head back around so that she was looking over in the general direction that she could hear his voice coming from. Why..? Why wouldn’t he just let her go… why wouldn’t he just let her see him; why wouldn’t any of them just let her see him..? It was the only thing that she wanted to do; but yet, it seemed like it was the most impossible task in the world right now. The attack had been brutal; leaving her body bloody and her clothes in absolute tatters- she would have to change… later… her bags were left behind, at the campsite with the rest of their belongings, and (she assumed) the cars they had all piled into for the ride down. That meant they were going to have to go back there sometime… they were going to have to go back and clean up… to get their things… She doubted that was going to happen anytime soon… [color=LightPink]“I-I want to see him… please, Dr. Arvanitis… pleas-…”[/color] Her sentence trailed off into just about nothing as a sweet sort of warmth began to pool into her body; it was like he had hit her with one of those sedatives… the ones that they gave to patients so they would stay calm and co-operative; but she knew for a fact that wasn’t the case… there had been no second needle piercing her flesh in any way, shape or form. Dropping her head down slightly, Syleste paused for a few moments, seemingly losing her train of thought before eventually, she accepted the change, her body laying back down over the mattress and her head turning towards him as she fell into a comfortable silence, lost within her own thought though not really sure what it was in the first place as a slightly dazed kind of look flickered over the already cloudy surface of her eyes. What had been the big deal again..? Dr. Arvanitis was a kind man, and one of his word… if he said he was going to take her to Gage, then he would… so why had she been screaming out again..? [color=DarkOrange]“Alright, you’re clear for now. Let’s get you to Gage but I want you to take it easy, alright? Those cuts are going to need stitches and I don’t need your excitement making your injuries worse.”[/color] Excitement..? Had she really been excited..? Panicked..? Maybe. Worried..? Yes. Terrified..? Oh, most definitely. But excited..? That was a strange sort of thing to be feeling after having been attacked by a wild animal… but then again, he did know best; after all, he [i]was[/i] a doctor. [color=DarkOrange]“Actually, I don’t want you walking right now. I’m going to carry you, okay? At least until I can get those wounds closed up properly.”[/color] He wanted to carry her..? Blinking a couple of times in response to his suggestion, she remained still… silent for a few moments, seeming to think it over for what felt like the longest of times before finally, she nodded her head lightly in answer, giving him the permission needed before she felt his strong arms slipping underneath her body, scooping her up and holding her close against his chest, the very action causing her to fall into him, her lithe frame pressing close as she curled up, her eyes fluttering to a gentle close as she let his warmth envelop her- wow, he was warm… or was she just cold..? She couldn’t really tell at the moment… [color=DarkOrange]“Just relax. I’ve got you. You’re safe here. Everyone is safe.”[/color] [color=LightPink]“..yeah… everyone… everyone is sage…”[/color] Repeating the words, though having obviously misheard half of them, Syleste curled herself further into him, her arm coming across and her grip weak as she took a hold of the front of his shirt, holding onto it as best as she could while he carried her through the hospital. This was so nice… so peaceful… She felt safe wrapped up in his arms like she was. Dr. Arvanitis had always been like a father to her, ever since the two of them had first met after Cassie had kidnapped her, and taken her home for their very first sleepover one night. Just like Cassandra; he was always looking out for her, always making sure that she was doing okay, and always encouraging her to go out and do the things that she wanted to do. Yeah… yeah, this was nice… [color=Pink]“What did you do…”[/color] That voice… she knew that voice. It was just so familiar, so caring, so loving, so-… so angry. Why was it that everyone was so angry right now..? Yeah, it had been a horrible night for them all, one that had her terrified for not just her life, but also the lives of her friends; but did they really have to get so worked up about it. [color=LightCoral]“He didn’t do anything to her, Gage! Leave my father alone and let him help Syleste. Let him help her, he’s the only one that can! Accusing my father, Gage… he would never hurt her. Please Gage…”[/color] Another familiar voice; and yet another person who seemed to be angry about what was going on at the moment. Cassie was yelling at Gage… she was yelling at [i]her[/i] Gage… and while normally she would have gotten upset about it; there was something seeming to hold her back, something keeping her emotions grounded the way that they were. [color=SeaGreen]“Easy now, son. No one is getting hurt- erh, well more so- in this hospital. Calm down now, and let the doctor put her down, and then you can be sure yourself that she’s okay, aside from the injuries from the attack.”[/color] Put her down..? But-… but she was happy where she was. Being held the way that she was… it made her feel safe and warm; like nothing could ever hurt her again. The only thing that would ever make it better was if Gage was the one holding her. She had already been separated from the love of her life for too long… now it was time she went back to him. Shifting slightly against the doctor, Syleste let her hand slip from the front of his top, her body turning in his arms only slightly so that she was instead doing her best to face the direction that she could hear Gage’s voice coming from, her eyes once more opening, and her soft pink lips parting ever so slightly from one another as she reached out towards him, her arms outstretched and her fingers curling slightly as she did her best to get the point across of what it was that she actually wanted to do. [color=LightPink]“..Gage…”[/color]
