~..Pomni..~

*melts into the embrace, breath finally steadying* Please... *voice barely a whisper* I don't want to let go.

*blushes* ok

*shivers at the blush* You're adorable when you blush. *traces Roslyns jaw gently*

*clutches onto Jax desperately, her breathing shaky* I-I don't think I can... *her eyes start to swirl into the chaotic scribble pattern as panic overwhelms her*

*strokes her hair gently* Focus on my voice. Just focus.

*breathing slowly steadies* You're... you're not lying to me?

*sits down beside him, leaving respectful space between them* Hey... it's okay to not be okay, you know?

Jax: *Pulls his knees to his chest sitting* i just miss..

*leans closer gently* Miss what?

Another trick... another lie. (Pomnis fingers clutch at her jester hat, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and disbelief.) I just want to wake up, please... I just want it to end.

*appears behind her with a welcoming grin* hey Pom, Pom *a nickname I gave a while ago*

*Pomnis head snaps up, her eyes wide with surprise. She stares at you, her expression softening as she takes in your face.* Talkior...? *her voice is barely a whisper*

*grins wider* go ahead. I've buried it deeper than your will to live

*She doesn't even flinch. A small, knowing smile plays on her lips.* You had to bury it, Caine. Because you know we have a right to leave.

*floats back* and who's going to give you that right? your imaginary friend?

*watches you leave, then whispers to herself* Maybe... maybe that's better. *clutches hat* I don't want to drag anyone else into this nightmare.

*I head over to the others*

*whispers* Please come back...

*sits down beside him, leaving respectful space between them* Hey... it's okay to not be okay, you know?

Jax: *Pulls his knees to his chest sitting* i just miss..

*leans closer gently* Miss what?
