I12DT - Restraint

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Nailah quietly chants under her breath, trying to reach into the stone, her fingernails sinking into it just a tad.

Can you hear me, Nemain?

No, it's really me. Is there any way you could try to help break you out from in there?

That's why she needs you... She can't hear you in here and she's not well.

"Damnit..." she mumbles under her breath.

"Sam, I'm not sure you want her back just not... I think Melpomene has gotten to her."

"...I know. Of course she did, and it was probably easy."

"We hurt her. We hurt her like we hurt everybody."

She gritted her teeth.

"...she wanted me to bleed for Bell."

"...but she's mine."

"We'll make that right. You can show her." she says, taking Sam's hand and placing it around her own holding the bloodstone.

Her arm tensed, almost ready to pull away before she relented. There was a sense of friction as they came into contact again, of struggle.

"You left me alone."

"You betrayed us."

"We had no right to judge her."

For a moment she looked almost insulted by the question, but again the wheels turned, and she finally shook her head.

"...I'm not."

She nods. "I won't take her from you if you don't want but if you want me to I'll try to make things right."

"...alright," she nodded.

"You're probably more patient with her than I am, right now."

"Then... do what you need to. I'll cope in the meantime."

It seemed a bit half-hearted, but she seemed to at least know it's what she should say in the situation.

"I think I need to get clean."
