Despite his best efforts, his heart rate and breathing skyrocketed as the angel's hands touched his skin. Fight or flight insticts went haywire as every cell in his body screamed [i]danger![/i] Supernaturals were dangerous, they got people killed, and they caused shit tons of pain. The rational part of the siren's brain informed him that Xerxes had always proven to be trustworthy in the past, and if he wanted Sebastian dead, the boy wouldn't have survived the first time he encountered the angel. If he remembered correctly, and if hearsay was a reliable source, angels could distinguish any species with ease. Therefore, he had no reason to be- [color=f7976a]"Oh for fucks sake!"[/color] Sebastian's head snapped towards Miranda, his attention momentarily diverted from the unease he felt from being near another supernatural as power as Xerxes. The woman was moving towards Syleste's bed, openly glowering at Gage. An obvious tension existed between the two, but Sebastian had been so preoccupied preparing to deafen the doctor in case of emergency that he hadn't noticed anything about what had transpired between his friends. Gage snapped at Miri, but she brushed it off in her nonchalant, go-fuck-yourself manner that Sebastian always admired. The younger siren giggled, holding her arms to her chest. Sebastian cast his gaze warily back towards Xerxes, sizing him up as the doctor gaze instructions to him regarding his health. The comment about notifying his father sent a pang of worry through the boy's chest, but there was nothing he could do about it for the time being. Telling his father about the attack and his subsequent involvement meant telling his father that not only did people know that he was a siren, but that also his closest friends were now members of the same species that had slaughtered Sebastian's mother. [i][color=green]Assuming I'm right about who killed her.[/color][/i] Sebastian nodded his head, offering a weak smile to the angel standing beside his bed before breathing a sight of relief that Xerxes was done with him. Xerxes moved through the room, picking up a clipboard and giving the others instructions as he went. Before he could get a word in edgewise, a ride home with Gage was orchestrated and sealed; there was no getting out of the very awkward car ride to follow. Sebastian hadn't even gotten the chance to talk to Syleste about her newfound heritage, or how they would progress moving forward, or how he could help her family through the process, or- [i][color=green]Be serene.[/color][/i] Letting his thoughts run wild wouldn't help anyone, and it would only cause a panic attack. Sebastian needed to be in control of himself and his emotions if he wanted to make everything run smoothly. Nodding his head, Sebastian sat up and smiled. [color=green]"Sounds good to me. I just need to get dressed real quick."[/color] Getting out of bed was quite the process, as every movement on his legs was painful. Not excruciating, but painful nonetheless. Once he had successfully escaped the covers, Sebastian pulled the curtain around his bed closed, providing himself privacy to change. Due to the fact that his clothing had either been blood soaked or torn to shreds, the hospital had provided a new set of pants and a shirt to change into. The siren quickly slipped out of the hospital gown and pulled on the new pair of clothing, scrunching up his nose as the cool air drifted across his skin, sending a shiver down his spine. There wasn't a pair of shoes to change into, but Sebastian didn't care; it wasn't worth bringing up with Xerxes. The less he talked to him, the better. Stepping out from behind the curtain, Sebastian nodded to Gage, motioning towards the door. [color=green]"Let's hit the road. I'll text you guys later, Miri."[/color] With that, Sebastian made his way out of the room, snagging a sprite as he went. The hospital corridor was awfully quiet, providing easy access to pick up on the low vibrations of Xerxes' voice as he gave instructions regarding the medical needs of Syleste and the paperwork for Sebastian. Something had spooked the angel, and that concerned Sebastian greatly, but he could only handle one issue at a time. Once the angel had left, Sebastian stepped up to Cassie right as she turned and spoke to someone hiding behind the corner of the corridor. [color=lightcoral]”So… that was my dad…“[/color] Cassie smiled faintly at the mystery figure, earning a frown from Sebastian. She seemed rather uncomfortable, but that was probably due to the immense responsibility Xerxes had just dropped on her. [color=lightcoral]”I guess I have to go check on my friends… will you stay?”[/color] [color=green]"Uh, Cassie?"[/color] Sebastian pursed his lips, feeling awkward for intruding. [color=green]"Your dad discharged me, and I just overheard that he asked you to tell my dad. I was just gonna see if..."[/color] Sebastian trailed off as he stepped forward, catching sight of the stranger Cassie was talking with. Before the siren stood not just a man he didn't recognize, but also a work of art. Sebastian's eyes fluttered wildly between the man's deep green eyes, handsome features, lush hair, excellent jawline, and astounding body, unsure of which incredible feature to take in first. Viridian irises that captivated Sebastian's eyes lay over powerful cheekbones and tanned skin, holding Sebastian's attention for just a moment before the siren's eyes continued to wander, glancing over the man's well groomed hair, tall stance, and impressive physique. The fact that Cassie clearly had dibs was irrelevant as Sebastian took in the view, immensely grateful he was getting the opportunity. Before he could say anything, the odd sound made by Sebastian's clothing as it rustled together reminded him that while the man in the front of him may look like a god on earth, Sebastian did not; from his disheveled hair to his bloodied and bruised features to the evident limp he possessed to his horrendous wardrobe, Sebastian couldn't hope to look even remotely appealing to the stranger Cassie had managed to pick up. Sebastian's voice finally escaped his lips, combining Sebastian's clear pleasure with the view to the disappointment he felt from realizing that Cassie probably had him wrapped around her finger by now with her striking features, as well as the embarrassment of wearing a glorified napkin for his first impression with the man. [color=green]"Well, [i]fuck...[/i]"[/color]
