The Nurse just kept going down the list as the shock grew. Thankfully the nurse asked her to sit down first before she told Marlin. Before she fell asleep Marlin answered Xia's mum saying she was at the hospital and someone had made it given how they were over a thousand miles away. Plus Xia's mum had been rather kind to Marlin when they met so she owed it to her to keep her in the loop. Her accent was clearing broadcasting her concerns and fears through a determined edge when it came to saying she had invited her to stay if she needed it and that offer was open regardless what she needed or the cost incurred doing it. She was going to look after the Island girl just as well as she had helped the English Biscuit. A mostly asleep Marlin who was barely conscious jolted awake somewhat and looked over to see Carlo blinking her eyes still adapting to the light and transition with no real resolve to argue being woken so abruptly subconsciously giving the hand she was still holding a little squeeze hoping she realises someone there. [i][color=f6989d]"Carlo? Give me a second to wake up. I'l be back hon, not going away."[/color][/i] Not even leaving the statement a option she gave Xia a gentle kiss on her undamaged section of cheek and got up stretching by walking round room, though gave a minor glare at his look at her in a shorter skirt, long legs, fitted top and leather jacket that had been her pillow on wall. She did not have the mood for flirting and pulled a cracked but serviceable phone out her handbag that was clearly identified by the case as to the owner [i][color=f6989d]"somehow they found her phone at scene dropped and missed or passed over. It was not hard to work out we were a little close. You might want to sit down and bring us some coffee, it's not a shortlist or simple situation."[/color][/i] Much as been... Well, an asshole at the time it was obvious despite the arguments her cousin did care about her when shit hit the fan so softened her tone and handed him a note for the overpriced machine. Waiting for him to return she nipped to bathroom thankfully a kind nurse had offered some supplies to remove most of her makeup so was not feeling so awful and looked less a mess. She really owed them a fruit basket. Heading back in she waited for Carlo holding Xia's hand and rubbing little circles into it hoping she notices and wakes up. All the machine and her being out was terrifying in a gut-wrenching way. [i][color=f6989d]"Thanks, i needs a pick me up. She hurt bad, not yet woke up and might not be tonight. Her hands gonna be a few months to fully heal at least. She is so strong... How can she be so hurt..."[/color][/i] Sadly sighing and explaining the rest as best she could, it was a long list of injuries. It was very obvious she did not go without a real fight. [i][color=f6989d]"Getting angry at me not help, and no one else is hurting Xia more than she is... Quit being a twat. sit down and drink your overpriced coffee..."[/color][/i] Her eyes glinting ice-cold deep grey pits of doom and a clear steely and rather a crisp accent. Much as she wanted to see someone pay, she was not taking shit for someone else. [i][color=f6989d]"Who? Who is pretty unknown right now. Whoever did it took her bags and vanished pretty fast. There was something, she felt like someone following her, something... Off. back of your hairs on neck sticking up shit. Things missing and just something wrong. She was going to my house because the security of the manor is quite a bit stronger. A week so we could relax, life got in the way, work out what to do. Did not want her to leave really. I was worried about her, she finally took me up on the offer. Then this...."[/color][/i] Cursing the situation, she was meant to be safe and cuddled in marlins arms, not like this. [i][color=f6989d]"Found her... Some man... Oh.. And a Uber driver. He was due to take her to my place. Not tell me much, I'm her girlfriend, not officially on lists. You may be able to get names I cannot. I'm gonna turn a blind eye. We both know what end you want. I will look after her though, I owe her for helping me out a dark hole, I'm not letting her down now."[/color][/i] Making it rather clear, Marlin was not going away anytime soon and Carlo would just have to get used to it. Besides she promised her mum she would look after Xia and that was not one she was going to break. It was clear, he had the same look she saw in the men her father worked with. Carlo was not exactly out for handing someone over to the cops. She knew the whole snow bunny reference, though gave a little smirk that thr bunny was currently a rather protecting Polar Bear or artic wolf instead. [b]Mentions[/b] [@King Tai]
