[hr]
Sil huddled on the ground hugging her knees with her arms. She could sense the fog clouding up her thoughts. Clear thinking becoming difficult.

Vaguely she became aware of someone lifting her from the ground.

[color=a2d39c]“Lynx… Have to help Lynx… Hurt me instead… Let him go… please…”[/color] She muttered the words in a vain attempt to focus her thoughts.

[hr]
Karina held the small Sil closer to her body as she tried to calm her down. Even though she was an airhead, she did care a lot about others, as it became evident by the fact that she tried to fight the sightless even knowing it was much stronger than her.

[color=6ecff6]"Shh. You have already done enough, Sil. Just calm down. I'll take you somewhere safe."[/color] Karina said, with a calm voice as she tried to tranquilize the poor Sil.

Even though the male sightless was wounded and had released Lynx, they couldn't just stay there as another sightless had arrived. Thanks to the chaos that the disguised cultists caused, they had a chance to escape and they had to make use of it.

[hr]
Words... someone was speaking to her... Sil stopped shaking. Her tight embrace around her huddled knees loosening.

[color=a2d39c]"Somewhere... safe?"[/color]

Sil unwrapped herself, shifting her position so that she sat on her knees. She looked up with a furrowed brow at the person's whose palm she sat in. The speaker looked familiar. 

[color=a2d39c]"I know you... right?"[/color] Puddles! Why was it so hard to think? Yes... yes she knew this person...

[color=a2d39c]"You're the she-person... hair so pale..."[/color]

Sil's thoughts began to stray. Why was her hair so white anyway? Did she forget to paint it? Did She-Person want Sil to paint her hair? Perhaps Lynx and she could-

Sil's eyes shot open. [color=a2d39c]"Lynx!"[/color] 

Why? Why was it always so hard to think? 

[color=a2d39c]"Where's Lynx?!"[/color] She asked in worry.

[hr]
As Karina opening a path and fleeing with the rest of the group, she heard Sil's weak words as she finally realized that there was someone with her and recognized Karina, sitting on her little knees in her hand.
Karina couldn't help but to let out a kind smile as she heard her voices. Whatever the sightless did, certainly affected the poor Sil.

[color=6ecff6]"Shh. Lynx escaped. The sightless was wounded and finally let go of him but another sightless arrived... with reinforcements. It seems a few people disguised themselves as cultists and are buying us some time to escape but we need to be quick..."[/color] Karina said to Sil as she looked around for the rest of the group to be certain everyone was escaping safely.

[hr]
Sil put her hand to her forehead as if about to faint. So many words. Too many words. So hard to think.

[color=a2d39c]"I..."[/color] She stuttered. [color=a2d39c]"I don't understand..."[/color]

What was this feeling? Was this sadness? Was this pain? She looked to the sky. Puddles falling from above.

[color=a2d39c]"It... hurts..."[/color] Sil said looking surprised. 

The thought was fleeting. Insignificant amidst the puddles. Where did the puddles come from? Did they live up in the sky? 

A single drop landed on her head and dripped down her face. 

[color=a2d39c]"Why?"[/color] She asked. [color=a2d39c]"Why can't I ever understand?"[/color]

[hr]
Listening to Sil's words, Karina simply raised her a little bit, giving a single, delicate kiss on Sil's head as she looked to her with a kind expression for a moment, before returning to her serious expression as she focused on escaping with the rest of the group.

[color=6ecff6]"Just rest a little bit. I promise I'm going to take care of you."[/color] Karina said, in an almost motherly tone.

[color=6ecff6]"You were very brave today, Sil. You did well. Now, it's my turn. I promise I'll take you and everyone else to safety."[/color] Karina finished,, looking to Sil with a kind smile.

[hr]
Sil blinked, surprised by the gesture. She rested a hand where she had been kissed. 

[color=a2d39c]"Rest..."[/color] Sil repeated. Yet another concept she didn't understand. And why did that matter again? 

She moved her hand away and stared at it with vacant eyes. Was she even capable of rest?

Tatter, tatter, tatter went the falling puddles. Splish, splash, splish. The sound of ground puddles disturbed by footsteps. The sounds seemed to wash away her troublesome thoughts. The only thing that stayed was the pain.

[color=00aeef]"Over here!"[/color] Chres's voice in the distance. He waved to the group, gesturing them over. [color=00aeef]"This way!"[/color] He said, turning to run.

[color=a2d39c]"Puddles..."[/color] Sil said, fluttering off Karina's palm. [color=a2d39c]"All I know is puddles..."[/color] She zipped off into the sky, aimlessly heading towards the clouds...
