  2. Nov 04 20:09:14 <SavanahHolland> It had been a few days since the small... smaaaaaall girl had idiotically taken a hit of fire for a girl who was.. also immune to fire. She tried to play the hero and turned out to be the idiot, then again her best train has never been her intelligence. Memories of that one time Yoshi tried to surf the stairs, her cheeks puffing and wings flapping like an excited duck as she grabs a lunch tray and runs off with it when no one's looking. Going to the dorm stairs, at the second floor as she hops on the tray aaaaaand dooooown she goes! Slidin- no, not sliding. Falling, lots and lots of painful falling. She lands at the bottom of the stairs, face planting into a wall as the tiny angel emits a low whine.
  3. Nov 04 20:12:57 <Knave> Heavy, slow steps approach her, then stop near to. Emmett stares down at her, mouth a tiny frown of perplexity, eyes concealed behind green goggles. "Are you quite all right?" He asks, leaning in, hint of a German accent audible. One arm comes from behind his back and extends halfway down to her, hand still curled, unsure if she requires help.
  4. Nov 04 20:18:39 <SavanahHolland> No response as the whine dies down.. is she..? Did she.. die? Suddenly a tiny child sized hand latched onto Emmett's offered one as she pulled herself up, seems she bruised her cheek pretty friggin bad, and of course that looked awful paired with her bandaged arms and legs. Her feathered wings flap lightly as she steadies herself, biting her lower lip as a hand goes to absent mindedly play with a lock of her short white hair. "That was painful." she mumbles, having not let go of his hand even as she stands normally. "I am okay, I think" she nods.. her voice seemed rather odd, the softness of a young child.. yet at the same time the monotone of something not quite human.
  5. Nov 04 20:21:05 <Knave> Emmett withdraws his hand and crosses it behind his back once more. "You are sure you are not-" He breaks off and corrects himself as he notices that 'uninjured' is hardly a useful descriptor, "Are you sure that you do not require medical attention?"
  6. Nov 04 20:24:01 <SavanahHolland> "No, I do not believe that I do since I was just in the infirmary and they said that I could leave if as long as I came back so that they could change my bandages, and that I also could sleep in my room which is nice." she smiles, quickly retracting said smile and whimpering at the pain in her cheek.
  7. Nov 04 20:25:59 <Knave> Emmett's frown tugs down for a moment, "I mean to say... you appear to have hurt yourself." His brow furrows, "Do you feel okay?"
  8. Nov 04 20:30:27 <SavanahHolland> "I am always okay, even though some people think I'm not okay a lot, they are likely right but I like to believe I am fine." she hums, looking up at the ceiling for a brief moment as her wings flitter rapidly as if habit "I hurt this part a little" she points to her cheek "But it's okay, I have had a lot worse.. though back then Val took it, I don't think I can let him take it this time.." the last bit seems as if she isn't talking to anyone at all..
  9. Nov 04 20:33:02 <Knave> From behind his goggles, he peers at her cheek. "Hrn." He cocks his head, "I trust there is no evident damage within the mouth, ja? Teeth unharmed, no interior cuts?" His voice is gentle and slow, as if he suspects that the girl is quite childlike, or not at home with the English language.
  10. Nov 04 20:35:39 <SavanahHolland> She seems to have a grasp of the English language.. mind you she speaks it a bit strangely.. She blinks at him staring as he asks this questions as if she had no understanding whatsoever "I do not know, the outside of my cheek hurts though, I do not think the inside hurts too." she pauses "What is a ja?"
  11. Nov 04 20:38:10 <Knave> "It is a German word. It means 'yes'." He says seriously as he stands over her. He makes a small noise in his throat, then asks, "What were you doing just now?"
  12. Nov 04 20:39:58 <SavanahHolland> "Oh, Ja" she grins, snickering.. only to whine again at the pain, it hurt to smile.. "I was tray surfing on the stairs like Yoshi did one time, he did it on different stairs but I did not think it mattered.. that is probably why it failed"
  13. Nov 04 20:42:22 <Knave> "Tray surfing..." He repeats dubiously. His eyes scan the scene and sure enough light on the bailed tray. It doesn't take a boy of his intellect to piece it together. "I think perhaps that the activity is inherently dangerous. I should not try it again, if I were you."
  14. Nov 04 20:44:35 <SavanahHolland> "Maybe you are right, but I believe it would be fun if I could do it correctly without hurting myself.." she sighs and wilts, closing her eyes "This is terrible news"
  15. Nov 04 20:46:52 <Knave> He straightens his jacket, "I am sure you will find safer ways to have fun." He looks off at the stairs, then back at the girl, "It is only a stroke of fortune that this injury was so very minor."
  16. Nov 04 20:48:15 <SavanahHolland> "Why? Would I have broken my face? I have been told that breaking anything is bad, much less your face which is a very important part of you to have, since you need your mouth.. and nose.. and eyes and.. and.." she goes blank, not remembering any more face parts.
  17. Nov 04 20:49:33 <Knave> Emmett's mouth hangs open for a few seconds as he watches her mind work, then he snaps himself back to attention, "You may well have broken your neck if you were unfortunate." He frowns at her bandaged limbs, "Do you hurt yourself often?"
  18. Nov 04 20:53:07 <SavanahHolland> "Oh, well that sounds much better than breaking my face, because if I just broke my neck then I would at least still be able to talk and see and smell and do other face things with my face." she pauses, her head tilting curiously at him like an owl "Well, I have been told I do, but some of the nurses in the infirmary really like me and make me wear things for them because I look like one of their daughters I think, I am unsure. The only reason my arms are banged up is because they got all burnt up when I tried to protect this girl with pretty red hair, hair that is pretty like yours, but hers was not as fuzzy as yours is though." she pauses once more... humming "How do you get your hair so fuzzy? It looks like fun."
  19. Nov 04 20:56:49 <Knave> After the brief pause of catching up to her method of speaking again, he responds, "It is genetic." He crosses his arms over his chest and shakes his head, "See that you are more careful in future, all right?"
  20. Nov 04 21:00:05 <SavanahHolland> "Oh, maybe I can try that, but every time I do something goes wrong, like I would be super careful, but then someone would hurt me and then I would be hurt even if I was careful, so it would have been pointless for me to be so careful."
  21. Nov 04 21:02:29 <Knave> Emmett's face crinkles and he shakes his head again, "That assumes you would not have hurt yourself in the meantime if you had not been careful." He gesticulates with a gloved hand, "Because some hurt is inevitable does not mean it is pointless to avoid other injuries."
  22. Nov 04 21:05:40 <SavanahHolland> "Oh.. yes, that makes sense." she seems to nod in understanding "Do you get hurt a lot too? Is that why you know so much about it? Or are you just very smart? I have been told I am not very smart, but I think all they care about is human stuff which I do not believe is too important for me"
  23. Nov 04 21:07:55 <Knave> "I am very smart." Emmett says shortly. He tilts his head for a few seconds as he thinks, "Am I to understand, then, that you are not human?"
  24. Nov 04 21:09:19 <SavanahHolland> "Oh! That is a very good thing." she nods, trying to smile.. but failing once more "I am not human, I am an angel but I am not allowed back which is bad."
  25. Nov 04 21:15:47 <Knave> "I had heard we had angels in attendance. I am sure I could not have imagined the reality." He says drily, "Fascinating." He takes a step towards her, "You resemble more than anything a conception of cherubim that, I understand, biblical scholars would call erroneous. Tell me, do you serve a god of one of the Abrahamic faiths, or is the cosmology of our heavens more complicated than we had yet conceived?"
  26. Nov 04 21:17:46 <SavanahHolland> She blinks.. looking rather confused "I.. do not know what any of that means.." she frowns, looking rather apologetic.
  27. Nov 04 21:19:50 <Knave> Emmett sighs, seeming more irritated than disappointed. "I might have guessed as much. Were it so simple I am sure news would have reached me. And why should the heavens concern themselves with mortal affairs?" His tone is mildly bitter by the end.
  28. Nov 04 21:23:31 <SavanahHolland> "Mortal affairs? Oh, I am not in your affairs, they just will not let me go back so I stay here, it is much better than Limbo." she nods.
  29. Nov 04 21:26:33 <Knave> "Oh yes?" Emmett prompts, idly tapping a finger against his arm. He would like to learn more, but conversing with the girl was difficult. That and she was making it hard to treat her as a credible source.
  30. Nov 04 21:29:14 <SavanahHolland> "Yes, Limbo is never very nice, it is just very gray, at least the ground is, but the sky is always so white, it doesn't smell like anything either and I could not move, it was very very uncomfortable." she nods
  31. Nov 04 21:32:30 <Knave> Emmett nods back. Theories crackle through his mind to unite the scraps of answers she's provided, and he frowns at the one that comes to the fore. It is dreadfully boring to think it might be the truth. "I am afraid I did not ask you your name. You must think me terribly rude."
  32. Nov 04 21:34:08 <SavanahHolland> "Oh! I am Siobhan, I used to be Nadia, but now I am Siobhan so that does not matter- who are you?"
  33. Nov 04 21:35:33 <Knave> "I am Emmett Walter Montgomery Percival Epstein." He gives a little bow, "It has been most enlightening to meet you, Siobhan. I hope that your injuries do not trouble you too much."
  34. Nov 04 21:36:25 <SavanahHolland> "Oh.. You have many many names.. I do not believe I can remember all of them" she frowns "Oh! Thank you, that is very nice of you, everyone is so nice"
  35. Nov 04 21:37:11 <Knave> "Emmett will suffice." He nods, and begins to continue on his way, "Good day to you, Siobhan. Do try to be careful." He waves.
  36. Nov 04 21:38:57 <SavanahHolland> "Okay! Goodbye!" she waves
  37. Nov 04 21:40:29 <Knave> -Scene bread-
