"It's okay." She signs. "All that matters is that you're okay."

She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."

She hugs her again.

Nic was still having a panic attack. The Joy's. So yknow, he was pretty unaware.

Also he hadn't had a single pomegranate in two years so......Let's just say that he might've gotten over his addiction but the one ood that was guaranteed to calm him down wasnt coming. Unless he warden was nice enough. But probably not.

Lio was sit huddled behind him. And Cole was.....ina similar state.

Victoria returns the hug, albeit weakly

You're right. No pomegranates in sight.

She tries to keep her calm.

Almon made a face as he looked around. "Come on." He said as he brought Astra down to where Cole, Nic and Lio were. His face was stoic, but he didn't seem as bothered as the rest of them, probably because he had trained his mind already for the nastiness of humans, although if he really thought about it, it was way worse than anything he could have thought of.

Astra followed numbly her eyes wide open. She made her way to Nic and leaned against the wall. "That was horrible." She managed to get out.

Nicote didntrespond. Still leaning against the wall, staring at nothing. All he could see in his vision were past memories, memories hed managed to keep down more or less until now.

It was all that blood,, the reddish tinting, the shrieks that sounded jsut like the voice of his sister.

His usually cold and calculating eyes were now dimmed and he looked like what he really was: a pale teenager that wa slicing in a hellhole even though innocent, never even getting to properly say goodbye to his family at any funeral or even mourn.

Lio poked his hea dup. "Yeah, i....dont think that's normal."

"Its not. " Cole agreed. Shifting nervously and glancing at Nic. "Um, I don think Nics alright."

Above

Too bad. Because.....

Well, let just say watching your home of a decade burn down, losing almsot all your family in a few hours, and then seeing your sister stagger out, collapse, and die right in front of you while covered in blood is not something that leaves the mind.

Almon raised an eyebrow. "Of course he's not alright, I'm not a rocket scientist and even I can figure that much out."

Astra frowned her eyes watering with tears. "I...I don't know what to do." She said helplessly. She blinked back the tears as her mind raced. She wasn't sure if she could do anything for him, she had no clue exactly what he had been through. She did the only thing she could think of and gave Nic a hug.
