16th Combo

Who: Lloyd Irving and anyone
Where: His apartment, Nostalgia Nook, Raine's hotel, and anywhere in between
When: Various times of the day on Sunday
Style: [action] for speed
Status: First and third parts are closed, second part is open

[Part one: Lloyd's apartment] - Closed to Sheena

[Daylight creeps into Lloyd's eyes, more so than normal in the mornings, it's hard for Lloyd to ignore it for long, the room growing brighter and brighter. Finally he cracks his eyes open, wondering how so much light is getting into his bedroom.

It isn't, as it turns out. It isn't his room at all.

What am I doing on the couch?

Muzzy from not getting quite enough sleep, it's hard to recall the events of the day before, when Kratos had brought Sheena to his apartment to heal from a beating she'd just taken. It's hard enough to register that he's downstairs when he shouldn't be, to roll off the couch and trudge back upstairs to his room. There's far fewer windows in his room than in the main part of the apartment. Maybe if he closes the blinds he can get another hour of sleep. He opens the door, and without even thinking, he crawls straight into bed.

...and then it registers. There is someone else in his bed.]

[Part two: Nostalgia Nook] - OPEN

[After everything that had happened with Sheena, Lloyd heads out, trying to ignore the flush on his cheeks and the way his heart is still pounding. He needs to concentrate on his task. Kratos had used healing magic on Sheena, but she was still pretty beat up. He'll stop by the Nostalgia Nook on the way to Raine's hotel. Maybe he'll get lucky and find some gels for sale.]

[Part three: Raine's hotel] - Closed to Raine

[The gels are really only a backup plan. Lloyd knows from experience that when someone needs to be healed, Raine Sage is the best to handle it. Kratos and Zelos have healing magic, too, and Regal could help patch things up, but the Professor was second to none. If anyone could help Sheena, it would be her.

Yup, he's kind of forgotten all about how the coral could help heal someone too.

Once he arrives at Raine's hotel room, he knocks on her door.]

Professor? It's me, Lloyd.

[Note: Lloyd is affected with lust as part of the latest curse.]

[Someone in his bed who'd been sleeping fitfully, somehow. After the beating she'd taken and what little healing she'd had access to (that she knew about), Sheena'd been ducking around town and trying to wait it all out in hiding; she didn't want that thing to find her if she'd sought out Colette--that would have been way too dangerous. She'd slept once Kratos dropped her off here, and had scarcely moved since. It really isn't any wonder Lloyd doesn't remember upon waking up.

Still in her own little dreaming world, the weight and warmth that settle beside her simply prompt Sheena to scoot closer. Tender aches and pains are largely forgotten when they don't register through the fog of sleep.]

[Lloyd freezes, his eyes going wide when he realizes who it is. The memories only barely come back before they flee again, though, his mind too caught up in shock when Sheena scoots closer to him. He doesn't think he's ever seen her this close up before, never so close that he can feel her breath on his cheek. Not just her breath, either. He can feel the warmth of her body so close that...

Something brushes against his chest, she's that close to him. Something soft and round and...

He swallows as the realization sinks in, but instead of freezing up even more, a peculiar feeling prompts him to look down instead. He's just confirming. He swears that's all it is. His eyes follow the curve of her breasts partly revealed by her loose neckline. Okay. Breasts confirmed. He can... look away. Anytime now.

Somehow, though, he keeps looking, feeling warmer by the second. And a wild, crazy thought enters his mind that, if he wanted, he could reach up and feel if she's really that soft.

What kind of a thought is that?]

[It's a thought usually had by those of baser natures, particularly by certain redheads who flirt with any woman around. If she was awake and able to read that thought in Lloyd's mind, she'd probably have panicked a little before comparing him to Zelos in a... dejected sort of way.

She probably still will, if he opts to go through with it.]

[It's so very strongly tempting to go through with it, a stronger temptation than he's ever felt before, at least when it comes to things like this. He's seen the way Zelos acts around girls, seen how fascinated the redhead is with their curves, but it never really clicked with Lloyd what that fascination was. Oh, sure, he can look at a girl and decide if he thinks she's pretty, but that could just as easily be because of their face or personality, and staring never made him feel like this.

He can feel his cheeks burning at the thoughts running through his head. He shouldn't be looking at her like this. He shouldn't be staring down her shirt. It's an invasion of privacy as bad as if he was peeping on her in the bath. He should look somewhere else. Like her face.

Her lips look pretty soft, too.

He takes a breath and lets it out slowly. This... this isn't right. He needs to stop this now.]

Sheena?

[His voice is soft as he says her name.

...why didn't he just get out of bed and go back to the couch downstairs?]

[ The Professor had been busy at her desk, working on both schoolwork papers to give to students as well as the research notes that she had lost from the island. It was a good thing that she had a fairly good memory. When she hears the knock on the door she looks up from her notebook. She wasn't expecting anyone.

Once she hears that it was none other than Lloyd she sets down her utensil and gets up to go and open it. Strange. What is it that her student wants? She hasn't given him any homework lately and she's certain that he had actually turned in everything she had issued him in the part.

Arriving at the door she unbolts it and opens it to where she can see the boy in red. ]

I wasn't expecting to see you today. What brings you here?

[Sheena's oblivious to everything running through Lloyd's head, and it's probably still for the best. But the sound of a voice calling for her makes her stir, and with a small groan, the young woman opens her eyes just a bit, long, dark lashes veiling her vision.]

Mm...?

[Somehow, at some point between Lloyd's staring and her slow waking, an arm had found its way across the brunet to hold onto him. It scarcely registers, and she looks up at Lloyd in a groggy sort of confusion.]

Lloyd...?

[It hits her much the way Gnome would: hard, heavy, and positively ludicrously. With a startled squawk, Sheena throws herself upright and onto her knees, dragging the blanket with her subconsciously. She's dressed, but still! She'd been... And Lloyd's...! Her face heats up and Sheena knows full-well she's flushing bright as anything. She'd been so close... t-to Lloyd and he hadn't... even...!!]

[Fidgeting, Sheena lowers the sheet to her lap, stammering for a second to find her voice. Which is decidedly more difficult than it really needs to be! But then she'd just been startled awake, so she figures maybe it's just a momentary failure.]

Lloyd, is...?

[Why is her heart racing? She isn't oblivious to her feelings, but she usually keeps them stowed away as best she can. Is it because of how they've ended up like this? However that happened. Sheets twist between her fingers as she tries to slow her pulse, banish the blush. Get a hold of yourself!

...Well that certainly isn't working.]

[Sheena might not have registered that arm she'd slipped around Lloyd, but Lloyd had definitely noticed it. When she pulls back, he's blushing just as deeply as she is.]

I, uh... Sorry, I didn't...

[What are words and how do they work?

He sits up, somehow still feeling warm despite the sudden lack of sheets. He's only dressed in a tank and boxers, but it might as well be a pair of sweats for the way his body feels. And Sheena...

There's an awkward moment when he realizes he wishes she hadn't covered up, that he'd liked looking at her. C-come on, he tries to tell himself, feeling flustered at his own thoughts. Her face is pretty, too. Think about that, not... Not the swell of her breasts so close to him, or the feel of her arm wrapped around him, bare skin pressing against bare skin. If he can just think about her face, about her eyes, her nose, the curve of her jaw, the way her lips are parted...

This isn't helping at all. Lloyd swallows. Now he kind of wishes he had a blanket to wrap up in, too, but not because he's cold.]

Um, how... how're you feeling?

[There. Good. That's a good question to ask.]

[Lloyd smiles in relief when he sees his teacher open the door. He hadn't been certain that she'd be home. He probably should have called ahead, now that he thinks about it, but he really hadn't been thinking clearly earlier.]

Professor! I need your help.

[He reaches for her hand without thinking.]

Sheena's here, but she got hurt. She could use a healing spell.

[That's a very good question, Lloyd. A very good question. The way he's watching her raises a chill over her skin--only it's not really a chill so much as it is a warmth, somehow difficult to describe otherwise. She stubbornly refuses to let her eyes wander, though; she has a feeling she'll end up somewhere she really shouldn't. This is just an accident, they're just embarrassed about having ended up in this situation. It-it's nothing else. Just that. Then why does she feel so self-conscious? Under normal circumstances, she'd have just shooed him out sternly or kicked him out (even if it isn't her bed, the situation allows for it!). As it is, she just... sort of... shifts how she's sitting. She can't sit comfortably anymore.]

I'm... I'm alright.

[Trying to convince herself more than anything. Muscles still ache and there are still a few bruises on her skin. It hadn't been an easy fight, considering she'd had to run away. And then been reliant on her body to heal itself. Not... really very efficient with the whole thing. And also having to concentrate on thinking like that makes it easier to dodge the whole Lloyd being in the same bed with her and the fact she's not immediately losing it at him.

And maybe she's instead letting her gaze drop so she doesn't have to look him in the eye, instead looking at his shoulder. ...Which might... actually be worse, since it prompts her to follow it.]

I'm, uh, sorry for taking up the bed for so long.

[ Normally someone needed a healing spell wouldn't have been strange or a problem. However, down in Vatheon it's unlikely that someone could heal something that the coral couldn't heal. Course, this was Lloyd so it wasn't improbable that he had forgotten about the Coral. Still, considering where they are Raine wasn't the wisest choice.

She notices Lloyd's hand and pulls her away before speaking. She wasn't certain what was up with Lloyd but his movement there was strange. ]

Have you tried the coral?

The coral?

[That moment when someone suggests something that should have been obvious, should have been the first thing he thought of to begin with. This is that moment exactly. Lloyd flushes, flustered and embarrassed.]

I, uh. No. I didn't. Kratos brought her to my place, and I thought- I guess I thought he'd already done what he could have.

[It hadn't occured to him that maybe Kratos had been relying on him to take care of the rest. He winces.]

I should have asked.

[Lloyd shakes his head at the apology, which actually seems to help him regain his focus, at least for a few moments. It at least helps disrupt the distracting thoughts he'd been having about her mouth. Why would he even care what it would feel like to touch her lips?]

It- It's fine. Don't worry about it, Sheena. You know I've slept in lots of worse places than my couch.

[He smiles to reassure her, but despite her own words he's still concerned. He lets his eyes travel down what he can see of her body - just to make sure she's all right.]

Are you sure you're all right? You still look pretty beat up.

[There's a shadow on her jaw in fact, but maybe that's just dirt. Acting on an impulse, he reaches out to gently brush her skin.]

Edited 2012-09-03 19:22 (UTC)

[ Raine sighs. Well, when a friend is involved not many people think rationally. It would be like Lloyd to turn to a friend rather than an object when another friend is in need.

But even so, the coral would be a better choice than the Professor in this regard. Considering her circumstances. ]

You should have. But no matter. If you can move Sheena bringing her to the coral would be a wise idea.

But... but what if I can't? Can't you come with me to check on her?

[He reaches out again, this time putting his hand on her shoulder as though to reassure her.]

I know it's hard for you to go out in Vatheon, but if you close your eyes, it won't be so bad, right? I can guide you, or- or I can carry you.

[Even as he suggests it, an image forms in his head of carrying Raine while she has her arms wrapped around his neck. His cheeks turn pink at the thought and he tries to dismiss it. What is it with him today?]

[ The Professor gives it a bit more thought. It would truely be selfish if she were to not go because she hates going out into Vatheon. Even more so since she's been trying to work on it so she could at least get to the Academy. Sheena, after all, was a friend of the Professor's as well. Despite their past troubles. ]

... All right. No carrying will be neccessary. I should still have the blindfold that you have given me before. You can then guide me to where we are heading.

[ She doesn't want to feel too ill when she gets to their destination. And really Lloyd? You should be able to carry Sheena if you can carry the Professor. Unless you're calling Sheena heavier than her. ]

[Yes, but Sheena's injured. What if he'd hurt her more?

And... he's... not sure which of them is heavier. Sheena might be? She does have bigger, uh, assets.]

Okay. I'll wait here for you, then.

[He feels almost strangely reluctant as he pulls his hand back.]

[ If your careful like Kratos seemed to have been you wouldn't have to worry.

... Nevertheless ~~because it's rude to assume a woman's weight anyways~~ she's coming with you Lloyd so it doesn't matter anymore. ]

I'll be right back. Feel free to step inside.

[ With that she turns and walks off, leaving the door open for Lloyd is he chooses to step inside. She goes into her room and starts shuffling the few things she had around. She lost a good portion of her items due to the island explosion so she wasn't too certain that she had the bandanna or some other cloth that she can use.

... Nope. It looks like the bandanna wasn't something that was saved. So she ends up going back to her student empty handed. ]

[Because there's a part of her that wants him to care what it would feel like, wants him to wonder and maybe even... even seek, but that part's usually so quiet. After all, it... He's better matched to Colette, as far as she's concerned. From everything she's seen in their adventures around the world... He wouldn't look at her like that, and she's sure of it. Not under normal circumstances.

She laughs a little with that reassurance; yeah, they've all slept in some weird spots. She dismisses his concern with a forced grin at first, but when he reaches for her she can't ignore the way heat just seems to flare from that point of contact. It's a sore spot, a fading bruise enhanced by the shadows cast by her hair, but it's not so bad that little surge goes unnoticed or overridden. Lips part and lashes lower, and Sheena slowly raises her gaze to meet Lloyd's. Normally, she'd reel away, brush it off or accuse him of doing something weird, but...

She breathes out his name, lilted upward in question. And maybe her heartrate rises again, the colour across her cheeks darkens, and maybe her breaths come a little more unsteadily. Lloyd really needs to pull his hand back, but she's too... something to defend herself the way she normally does.]

[...Lloyd was way too flustered after what happened with Sheena to clearly think through to that conclusion, Raine.

~~It is? No one told him this!~~]

[It doesn't take much for Lloyd to notice that Raine's hands are empty when she returns. Concern crosses his face.]

You couldn't find it?

Edited 2012-09-05 03:39 (UTC)

[ Sigh Lloyd. Although the reason isn't normal the fact that you didn't think through to that conclusion is.

~~Yes it's just like with age.~~ ]

[ Raine shakes her head ]

I'm afraid that it didn't make it off the island as I thought it did. You wouldn't happen to have something on you that could act as a bandanna?

[ She could close her eyes but it's easier when there's a cloth there blocking her eyes as a backup. ]

[Would it really be so bad to do something weird? Does he always have to stay with the things he'd normally do? Why can't he dive headfirst into things without necessarily thinking things through? He likes doing things that way, likes living in the moment and acting on whatever he feels. And right now he feels...

Like his heart is fluttering anxiously and like his stomach is flipping in its place. The way she's looking at him only doubles the feeling further. He's never felt like this before. Maybe a couple hints like it sometimes, but not like this. Not this strong. He doesn't know what to do.]

Sheena...

[His fingers caress her cheek, and... he leans. A little bit closer to her. He feels drawn to her, in a way he can't find words for. She's always been reliable, always there when they needed her. And now she's here, and it's like there's some intangible need... Except that's wrong. She's the one who should be needing him, especially since she'd been hurt. Is she really okay?

It's just concern that leads to him stroking his fingers down her cheek. That's all it is.

Except it's not.]

Sheena, I...

[H-hey, what's that supposed to mean? D:

~~...he could probably take a stab at guessing how old she is, actually. He's known her long enough! He might overestimate a little bit, though~~~]

I didn't think to bring a bandana with me. I thought you'd have one.

[He thinks about it for a moment.]

I only have the ribbons on my jacket. I don't want to take those off, but they're long enough that if you stayed close to me, we could wrap them around your head.

[It could be. It could be, because of how Sheena puts her heart into the things and people she cares about, and... And Lloyd is one of those people who she's just gotten how to hold at just the right kind of distance. He'll always make her heart flutter, but she's sure she's not the one for him. She's sure that... that wherever this is going is just going to end badly.

Or maybe just too well.

He's so close--closer than he's ever been before outside of mid-battle, and the way his voice is and how he's touching her--just what is she supposed to do!? She's sure someone would tell her to go for it, that there's no other reason this would be happening. If anyone knew, she'd be teased endlessly for letting it slip through her grasp. She likes Lloyd, and this is every opportunity lined up but it's so out there and sudden and what about...

What about Colette?

She forces herself to think of the tiny angel, of Sylvarant's Chosen who'd always been so close with Lloyd. Sheena has her suspicions about Colette and Lloyd, had been jealous of them and yet at the same time not. There's no evidence, even back home at her point in the timeline (if what she's been told really is true) that anything's happened between the two, but that doesn't really mean anything. People hide a lot of things, intentionally or not. Sometimes it's just a seamless change. Even if Sheena wants...

A hand raises to gingerly brush fingertips against the back of Lloyd's hand--she's momentarily embarrassed by the calluses, but they're proof of the journey they went on together which isn't embarrassing at all. But he needs to--to stop touching her like this so she can think straight and not about things that can't possibly happen.

She's such an idiot.]

Y-yeah?

[She can't stop him.]

[He's never really thought about Colette like this before, or any girl, for that matter. Yeah, sure, every teenage boy entertains thoughts of a girlfriend at least once or twice (more often for some boys than others), but at the point of time that Lloyd is from, those had really only been thoughts, there and shrugged off in favor of enjoying the friendships he has. He hasn't ever really wanted more than that, not even sure what he would do if he had it.

Only now, with Sheena so close, sitting in the same bed as him, he is thinking those thoughts, thinking about more. More than just sitting, more than just touching her cheek, more than just being her friend. He wants... that moment when she'd wrapped her arm around him, when she'd been so close he could hold her. What would it be like if he could do that again, if he could put his hands around her and...?

He can feel the heat of a blush creeping up his cheeks when he realizes what he's thinking about. He almost pulls away, but... then her hand is on his, almost like she's holding it, like she's keeping his hand in place. Does that mean... she wants...?

Heart pounding, he knows there's only one way to find out. He doesn't give himself a chance to think, the impulse to do this too strong. He leans forward, closing the distance, and presses his lips to hers.]

[ Exactly what it meant!

~~That overestimating would get you in trouble Lloyd~~~ ]

Only the one you had given me before.

[ maybe she should go out and buy a few more sometime. but for the time being she thinks about what Lloyd came up with ]

It's a bit impractical, but it'll do the job.

[Thoughts... Thoughts still happen, and besides. It still winds up being, even past that, that Sheena's a bad choice. She's sure she's a bad choice--she's a coward, indecisive, and not really all that pretty. Lloyd... needs someone stronger than she is, someone who can keep up with him without second-guessing themselves all the time. She's not that person.

She's so far from that person that she lived in an entirely different world. Literally. And then they reunited the worlds. That doesn't change the metaphor, though! But Lloyd is everything she wants to be as a person (maybe there are a few things she's alright with passing on), and he's impossibly kind and caring, and there's something about his looks that just kind of catches her every time. And...

And he's blushing. It takes Sheena a second to process that--everything's just so slow right now, too busy being self-conscious. She's not impulsive right now, not the way Lloyd is. Definitely not the way he is, right now. Sheena only has enough time to take a breath before it's stolen away.

Kissing Lloyd is something she's thought about idly, now and again. She's a girl with a crush; it's a normal thing. To actually have it happen, though? She's still not that girl, but... But maybe if this is a mistake, they can just... pretend it never happened later. And the want to follow through with this is a strong pull, finally pushing past that insecurity. Slowly, both hands move to rest gingerly on his shoulders, scared he'll pull away if the movement's too sudden.

Pulling away is the last thing she wants him to do right now.]

Okay, just... hold still, then.

[Pulling one of the ribbons on his jacket forward, he steps closer to his Professor, reaching up to wrap it around her eyes. There isn't a lot of extra length to play with. They really will have to stay close.

...he doesn't think he's ever stood this close to her before. Not like this. They're practically standing hip to hip, so close he could just wrap an arm around her. His cheeks warm up at the thought, and he quickly finishes tying the knot.

But... is it really such a bad thought? He has to guide her somehow.]

I'm going to... put my arm around you, okay, Professor? So I can show you where to go.

[He's... never kissed a girl before. He's not entirely sure how this works. He's seen people kiss before, and he kissed Guy that one time when everyone had been cursed and he thought it was the only way to help, but that was all different. That was nothing like this. Sheena's awake and aware, and she's responding to him. And he knows her, cares for her, and he's... he's attracted to her. He's never really thought about what that means before, never realized how literally it could apply, but his body wants nothing more than to press close to her. Without thinking, his other hand slips through the blanket that fell when she let go of it, then wraps around her waist.

But the kiss is what has his attention the most. Her lips really do feel as soft as he thought, but he never imagined the warmth that would come with kissing her. But it's not just the warmth of her skin. He feels warm, a kind of warm pleasure that fills his whole heart until it spreads through the rest of him. It's a warmth that stems from the fact that one of his friends is this close to him because she wants to be. It isn't an accident. She didn't trip or run into him. They aren't in a fight, defending each other.

They're kissing. They're kissing and maybe now he understands just a little why Zelos likes doing this with girls.]

Edited 2012-09-10 02:39 (UTC)

[ The Professor holds still as he wraps the cloth around her. She had closed her eyes just for extra precaution. Again, this wasn't the most practical and she's never been so close to her student before, but the idea behind this will work as long as she can make it to where Sheena is staying. ]

All right.

[ It was a better idea than her trying to follow him from behind and getting yanked. ]

[Despite the fact that Raine gave him permission, Lloyd's still a little hesitant as he wraps his arm around her waist. Hesitant, and yet there's a thrill to it, too. Wow, he never realized the way her body curves. Her usual orange top does a fairly good job of covering that up. Without thinking, his hand creeps up a little bit - just adjusting his grip. Really, that's all. Just... his fingers are maybe no longer on her waist.]]

O-okay, ready whenever you are.

[He starts leading her out of the hotel.]

[ Adjusting your grip. That better be it Lloyd. Any higher and Raine might just have pull away or hit you. ]

I'm ready.

[ This was definitely strange, but if it gets the job done... ]

[Despite the way Lloyd's thoughts keep straying to his hold on Raine, the journey goes well enough at first, and they make it out of the hotel without incident. In fact, it isn't until they're outside...

Two kids seem to come out of nowhere, racing down the street and right into their path. Lloyd jerks to a stop to avoid running into them, his free hand coming up to stop Raine in her tracks.

His hand. Right on her chest. J-just to stop her!]

Wh-whoa!

[Well, there's a... a first time for everything, isn't there? It isn't Sheena's first time kissing someone, but even then she isn't sure how t--how to quite pull this off. Lloyd is... Lloyd is someone she's known her feelings for, but the last time she'd seen him before being swept away to Vatheon...

But she can't help it. Maybe it's selfish to want him to sweep her away for a little while. Even if this is just a groggy, half-awake Lloyd who might just fall asleep in the next minute or two, it'd... It'd be alright. She can dismiss it as a dream if he asks and isn't sure. With that thought in mind, Sheena carefully slips her arms around his shoulders, letting him have that closeness.

And maybe it's a rush, with his arm around her waist and him instigating everything. Hormones ablaze and goddess knows she's had a crush on this boy for a long while; she can feel the heat burning her cheeks and her ears and down to her shoulders and the racing of her heart because she never thought... Tentative, almost hesitantly--because he can't be the one to start it all and maybe she isn't totally sure but it's so nice--she parts her lips against his, encouraging him to follow that example. It's a tricky thing, and normally she wouldn't even allow a kiss! Those matter a lot! But a little more can't hurt... right?]

[ Raine was only able to hear the footsteps of the two kids racing down the street before Lloyd suddenly stopped. While she can hazard a guess as to why he stopped the place he put his hand was nevertheless unacceptable. ]

Lloyd! Watch what you're doing!

[ Remember that stern, teacher-like voice that she used to give you Lloyd? It was that but twice as stern. ]

[Caught up in the moment, Lloyd responds to the movement of Sheena's lips with a soft sound of surprise and pleasure - surprise because he'd never realized that something like that would feel so good, and because...

This is Sheena. Sheena, who never lets Zelos kiss her, but now she's letting him. Not only letting him, but... inviting, inviting something more? Does he even know what she wants? Does he even know what he's doing? But she's letting him and that feels special. He parts his lips, hesitant and aroused...

Until his tongue touches her teeth, and he pulls back, blushing madly. What did he think he was doing?]

S-sorry! I didn't mean- I- I mean, I did, but- I don't- I was just-

[Oh man, he'd been about to stick his tongue in her mouth!]

[Lloyd quicklyl snatches his hand back, almost as though burned. Hormones unwittingly influencing him or not, that tone of voice is one someone only messes with at their own peril.]

S-sorry!

[...even if some small part of his mind still noted how soft Raine's chest had been. And kind of sort of almost wishes he could touch it again.]

Okay, uh, it's safe to go again.

[Well, that's one way to end things. With Lloyd pulling back, Sheena does the same--albeit a fraction of a second later and probably more jerking back than anything, if the way she bounces on the mattress says anything for the momentum. Eyes wide and face red, she covers her mouth with one hand to keep from saying anything immediately. Really! She hadn't minded! That would've been fine by her, but... There was a lot that kept telling her it's not fine. She's being ridiculous.]

No! No, it, uh. Uh...!

[What do you say to this kind of thing!? Sheena sort of drew in on herself, groping for some way to react.]

It... Don't...

[Come oooon...! Think!]

I'm... just gonna go. I'm feeling a lot better, so! So I'll be fine.

[Sheena inches her way around Lloyd, and the second she gets to the edge of the bed, she takes off. She can't deal with this right now, just. She needs to clear her head and figure out what happened.]
