♞ 002 | Control is not his strong suit

[onlymortal]

| Audio |

[ Shinjiro has kept himself locked away in his room for the past day, alternately pacing, growling, and throwing random tantrums that ended with cartons of milk strewn about his room from the closet and other similar refuse of vain attempts at slaking his hunger.

He's kept calm simply by reminding himself this was all the mansion, as Arisato had told him, this was someone's memory, and it would all be over.

...but when? He doesn't know how much longer he can take this.

When he speaks, there's a low, inhuman growl behind his words. ]

It's one of those event things, right? How the fuck long do they last, anyway?

[Her heart started pounding faster, he'd pushed her that far and that hard and he hadn't even been trying. What was going on? She could barely focus and she didn't even try to nod at his question.]

Yes...I-I think...[She didn't try to get up though.]

[She pushes herself up, the first time she tries she just falls back down, but the second time she gets up.]

No. I'll be fine. Y-you should be concerned with yourself right now, Shinjiro. You need to feed.

[He knows she's right and he hates to admit it.]

Get somewhere safe. Please.

[She blinks again and straightens up.]

Let me help you, Shinjiro. I can heal myself...I never came after you when you left, I was wrong to just let you go in an attempt to protect myself. Let me help you now.

[She reached up and rubbed her throbbing temples and frowned.] I...I apologize. I believe I'm just...rambling right now.

[He was worried, but the longer he stood here, the more of a danger he was to her.]

Go back to your room, okay?

[She stood slowly, almost falling as she got to her feet. She didn't look at him though, instead she just kept focusing on standing and not showing that it hurt to stand or that it hurt to have him turn her away. SHe was always good at looking like nothing bothered her, this was no exception.]

Alright. Take care of yourself, Shinjiro.

[He turned away from her slightly so she didn't see the concern on his face.]

I'm tryin'. You too.

[Her voice was emotionless, reverting back to that perfect ice queen persona.]

I will be fine. [She started to her door, at least it wasn't far.]

[He almost goes after her, but decides he's probably done enough damage. He clenches his jaw against the burning need for what flowed through her veins and took himself back to his room.

But he didn't miss the dent in the wall.]
